Lowgan's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Lachrymose Nocturne]

Not bad

Background and overall mood set by the piece is pretty good. Character in the foreground could use some work though. Looks a little amateur. Keep at it though.

Thank you! I am working on it. :)

[Juicy Halloween]

What the hell is she wearing?

I understand that that is a halloween costume but what the hell is that? Is she dressed as a diamond or a fishnet or something? Anyways the quality overall is kinda crappy, i know that you don't like it when people just mark it down without an ecplination, so I'll try to be as specific as possible. The medium you used is kind of aweful alone, is that a ballpoint pen? Either way it doesn;t look good. And even for a cartoon you're proportions seem kind of lopsided. Plus.... no shading. I think in one of your other pieces you said you don't know how to shade, SO SIT DOWN AND LERN IT. It's not that hard. Aside from that I think that lydia's expression seems kind of weird. She doesn't look surprised, she actually looks like she's kind of enjoying it, but only because she's been drugged. Anyways I hope I wasn't too harsh, keep it up and practice often. Oh yeah and EefOofClock is a weirdo. And here's a weird suggestion for a piece, do one of Megan Fox punching a velociraptor in the face. I don't want her to be naked or anything, it was just the first thing that came to mind for some reason. And you don't have to do it, just making a suggestion.

SugarSweetVenom responds:

N-no ... that's Lydia Deetz's pancho, not a costume. You wouldn't understand the picture unless you saw the show I suppose. You can youtube the old beetlejuic cartoons if your interested. I didn't have Sai at the time so my only medium at the time was colored pencil, purple colored pencil. Yes, I'm terrible with proportions as you've seen from a couple of my pictures I'm working on form. So far I can only seem to do heads even remotely ok. I know the alignment of the whole ear and eye placement. I'm working on shading but honestly it won't stick with me, I still have to work on proportions and I can't get any of this. She isn't surprised, she is enjoying it because it's based on the implied romance I love so much about the show. She hasn't been drugged, she has dark circles around her eyes both in the " real world " and the " neither world " . It's not too harsh man, trust me I've had worse. Wait ... what?

[Vitoria's secret]

What?!!

A 9 and a 10?
I disagree. This is just not good.
Keep practicing, and try using some anatomical reference next time.
And Shading.
Try some shading.
Feels like a 2, but imma give you a 5 cuz i'm nice.

SugarSweetVenom responds:

Thanks for your honest opinion, I appreciate it man. Anatomy isn't my best but I try to use as much reference as possible, naked/half naked just isn't my thing.

OHMYGODLOOKATTHATGUY'SREVIEW

Like, seriously zargaden wrote a freaking essay down there, I didn't even read past the second line. But anyways about the piece. Very nice, but I have a complaint about the background, but its easily contradicted so really its not a big deal, but The read creates a contrast that I don't find very appealing, at least, not with how it fades to white while going downward. I think it would have been better had it faded to black, but then you wouldn't be able to see his legs very well, so theres the contradiction. Other than that, very nice work, only the second ten I've ever given out, because I judge art in comparison to my own favorite artists(ex: Craig Mullins, Ashley wood, Michael Komarck, Ben Templesmith, Drew Struzan, yadda yadda etc, etc,). Looks very proffesional. But then again, you could be, there's no law against the pros posting in the same portal as all the amateurs.

CHAOSWONTON responds:

Thanks, man. I like Ashley wood, too. Especially his works in Spwan.

[Comas]

Not very good

I'm not judging this based on artistic style, since cyanide and happiness isn't known for the artistic quality, they're known for the humor. This is not funny. not at all. so 0.
And I agree with iBliss, how did you get scouted? This and a lot of you're other work is just awful.

GenericJosh responds:

we can't all be gods without Wacom Tablets

[Lightning]

Not bad

I don't like the face, and her body really doesn't look like it's at the same angle as the rest of her. And some of it looks like its at the side, I mean it's supposed to look like we're looking down right? But overall the texture work and shading is nice. If only you could balance that with the proportions it would be near perfect.

Clari responds:

Yes, it's at a downwards angle. I used a reference for the pose and angles. http://www.posemaniacs.com/?p=82 <-- this one, but rotated a bit. Thanks anyway for the crit!

[My Only Antidote...]

Wow

Wow, man this is so deep and tragic... naw just kidding this is kinda dumb. Not worth the nine but I just feel like messing with someone. The colors and texture set the mood you're obviously trying to convey but its offset by the lack of realism and inconsistent shading. Overall I'd say that this deserves a 5 for quality. Could definitely use some work, keep practicing.

Gaz-Metal responds:

Thanks for the comment. It's not supposed to be realism. If I deserve a 5, give me a 5 instead of a 9.

[Chaos ROCKS]

I'm dissapointed.

Dissapointed that none of these morons who reviewed this piece are capable of Identifying the characters, jeez, read a book once in a godam while. Its freaking warhammer 40,000. Though I personally didn't know about the Noise Marines until I saw this and looked them up. I don't play the tabletop game, but I read the books and Graphic novels. Pretty sweet.

IN THE EMPEROR'S NAME!!!!

eightball6219 responds:

Play Dawn of War. They were great and the mods they made keeping it to the codex made them great

[Fart Throwing Birthday]

Nice

The Spectre hoodie is a nice touch. And that kinda looks like Leon's jacket.

RubberNinja responds:

It's my favourite hoodie! It's damn snug.

[Suprised]

This one is honest.

You coulda taken up more space on the paper. Did you do this at school?
Is the shading all scratchy for texture? Cuz it doesn't look quite right.

Shom42 responds:

I just did a random doodle on my tablet quick. It was for a joke to show one of my freinds.
