Kwing's art Reviews on Newgrounds

Spicy!

Looks like you have a sort of mixed gradient/lighting effect here, and I really love the way it turned out! The sort of 'layers' it looks like you used transition very smoothly and most of the elements look very natural. I have three complaints relating to this, though: First, the model's chin is very smoothed over. Either animalistic or more human-like proportions would have worked, but currently it looks really manga-ish. I can't say I'm a fan of the way it looks compared to the intricacy of the rest of the work. The second problem I have is with the 'straps' between the model's breasts. If it's a corset, then those 'straps' should be more like strings; thinner, smaller, and more toward the middle. As they are, it looks almost as if someone duct-taped her breasts together with red tape. It's also kind of weird that it looks to be the same color and texture as her hair. Last, I thought the boots were kind of oversized, especially right at the feet. Maybe it's just the proportions, but I know the giant buckles on them don't help.

Other than that, I can't think of anything. This is a great piece! Very stylish!

Favorited

Truly excellent. The hips look really, REALLY good, although her middle does seem a little bit too thin. Other than that it's really perfect. Great outlines, the weapons are mounted in a very cool way, the feet look great, and her expression is badass! If you drew this in Flash, make sure to keep the FLA because I'd love to see this in an animation!

[Sweet Tooth]

Very Nice

I think the car's supposed to be pink though.

I love the intricate shading in this, but the smoke in the back looks kind of rushed.

I Like the New Style

The gradients you use are very nicely placed, and overall the color scheme and proportions are good, except for the model's legs, which are really, really thick (is that because she's a bunny?). The face looks great, although the ears are unproportionately big, even for a rabbit. Also, the breasts seem somewhat higher than they should be. Maybe it's the relativity of her height/head size or something, or maybe it's that the breasts look like they're sideways while the model is twisted to face forward. Either way, this also brings up the fact that the model has no shadow and seems almost to be floating in front of her background.

All of that aside, though, I like the coloring you've used here a LOT! Is this some new technique? Keep it up!

Almost Perfect

First off, I'd like to say I really love the grainy art style and filters you put in. The background and everything look simple and elegant. The lighting is similarly awesome. The looks in the eyes of both of the models is sweet and adds a remarkable mood to the entirety of it.

However, I can still point out some flaws: The creases in the elbows look unnatural and too straight, the male model's ear has too much of the outside showing while the crevice should have been moved more to the right, the girl's body seems to vanish halfway down her breasts, the male model's hair looks somewhat unnatural, and the female model's hand MIGHT have looked alright with four fingers, but the strange angle they're at is rather strange, plus her hand itself is so small I feel it needed the full five fingers. One last thing is that the male model's eyebrow has too sharp of an outline.

I still think this is an amazing piece of art, though, and it's in my favorites right now.

I've Seen Better

The proportions on this are extremely odd. For one, the sharp tuft of fur sticking out behind the knees makes the model look almost as if her knees are reversed, but they aren't. Either would look fine, but right now it seems inconsistent.

On top of that, the right foot curves upward at quite a strange angle. It curves such that the model looks almost as if she has no bones in her feet. The curve is really rather plain.

Third, the limbs in general look too thick, especially compared to the model's thin form. Any body type suits me, but again an inconsistency.

Fourth, the purple things near the bottom should be more blurred or more transparent. They distract from the overall product.

That being said, the lighting and color scheme are very mysterious and look great.

[-Feel the breeze-]

Wow!!

The background is definitely the high point of this piece. The wood, the birds, the stone, the grass... Simply BREATHTAKING! As for the model... She looks cute, and the whole theme is innocent in a very appealing way, but there are some issues.

For one, the 'paw' area on the palm of her hand is too dark, and the line looks out of place as it is. The cheekbone is also too sharp. Third, the arms are somewhat too thin in proportion to her body, and her torso is too thin as well in proportion to how long it is. Her thighs are also too low, as if her pelvis was stretched downward somehow... Her left thigh should be obstructing the view of her paler patch of fur, but it's not. The knees should also be articulated with a small line or something.

The background is really, really amazing, and the model looks cute too, but she's got several mistakes that just look unrealistic. I do, however, appreciate the modest size of her breasts in comparison with a lot of other furry art I've seen. The furry fandom focuses a lot on a back-to-nature view of things, and hypersexuality is not something that I think of as natural. Good job!

[.: Rubi :.]

Excellent Job

I really like the way you did the fur. The tips and strands here and there look nice, and the lighting is pretty cool too. I don't mind the use of filters, as you seem to have actually done it in moderation in this piece. The tiny creases and lines here and there really make bits of the picture stand out and less is really more in this submission.

However, the neck does look a little thick and the breasts are too round. Typically a breast sort of hangs down, so near the top the curves are more straight and then they begin to curve outward... I'm not an expert on describing this stuff, but I'm sure you get my gist. Not only that, but the pants are a little baggy, and if you want them to look as if they really are, rather than this model's legs just being very thick, you need to use a bit heavier shading. It'd also have been pretty nice if there was some kind of background, and a breeze making the hair blow back or something.

[Space background for Moovlin]

Incredible

This is really surreal. The lighting is just superb and the blurs look very realistic. The stars look great too. My only gripes are the moon and the planet on the right, both of which are a little too clear. For as much water is on the planet, it should have had some clouds obscuring your vision a little, and the moon is much too splotchy.

[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.
