Kwing's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Anaconda Gun]

Inconsistent

There's a certain line between realism and the stylistic alterations you make, and this picture crosses between those lines a lot. For instance, the grip on the gun looks very, very realistic, while the lack of reflection on the barrel could have looked much more realistic (especially with background objects to give a surface to reflect light from). The bolt on the handle is a little too simplistic, and the curvature around the trigger is too kinky and segmented. I dunno, but something about it seems off.

I do like it, though.

Savory responds:

Most of the reasons why it looks the way it does are because there aren't any fancy shaders on it, and because it's relatively low poly. Although, I could probably knock down the polys even more and make it look better with the skills I have now.

Kickass!

I really like it, but it looks incomplete. Obviously it's missing color, and the lack of even a blood splotch by the knife leaves something to be desired. I hate to be a jerk but as cool as this looks now, it'll look better all done.

[The Beasty!]

Cool :D

Looks great! kind of simplistic as it is, but that's fine; for now it just looks like a plastic toy or something.

EvilRaccoon responds:

Yeah, it needs textured to make it look more realistic. Thats the next stage. :)

[Moon Girl]

Really, Really Good!

Like others have pointed out, the lighting is definitely the strong point of this, and the color scheme/focus really brought out the mood (especially the sunbeams), but the proportions could use a lot of work. Things I noticed:

- The breasts look as if they're different sizes. Even if she's at an angle, it looks as if her left breast is much larger than the right. The left breast also hangs much lower.
- The girl's neck is really long, and the angle at which it stands out only makes this strange detail stand out more.
- The denim of her jeans looks paper-thin when you look at the waistline of it. It should look thicker, rougher.
- The lighting on the girl's stomach is rather abrupt. A bit more blurring and you're there, but right now the upside down V-shaped gleam makes it look as if her ribs are sunken or something.

PS: I thought this was supposed to be a moderate take of the female form, but seeing as you put "boobs" under the Tags, perhaps you've just the average Newgrounder, lol. x_x

Gi-go responds:

I just know what NGers search for, look at the view count after just a day or two.

[Prom Queen]

Whoa, Twig o_o

Looks great, but her torso is TINY, especially compared to her thighs which are rather large. Anorexia doesn't turn me on, sorry.

[Leaf Frog]

Wwwwow!

So realistic! The tree bark looks freaking amazing! But seeing how great this is, I figured I should grace this submission by pointing out some flaws, seeing as it's better than just saying "omg this rox!". Well, the leaves look a little -too- reflective, and as others have pointed out, the joints on the frog are a little odd. The 'snout' of the frog is also too snout-like, if you catch my drift. Aren't they usually less pronounced? Holy crap, though, nice 3D modeling!

[Airplane]

Jesus Christ

Dude, you are REALLY good. The lens flare kind of turned me off though. Sometimes less is more, ya know?

[ShadowMaster]

Great

Left arm should be a little smaller, though, and the mouth... No comment. But I really, really like the fingers. Neat effect! You have a good eye; now all you need is some experience :)

[Sunset/tree thing]

Hmm...

Nice color scheme and proportions, but really simplistic. Maybe some rocks or tufts sticking out from any part of the grass would have helped that.

[TortuRed]

Intricate

I really like what you've done here. A lot of it looks pretty abstract, but in the style of some ancient cave painting or something... The patterns are very artistic, and I can see this as a mural, background, etc. Very nicely done!

vexistential responds:

Cave paintings, among many other forms of ancient artistry, are some of my main inspiration for my drawings, so you hit the nail on the head there.
Thanks for the positive feedback.
