Nantes's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[The Siren]

Ok, i had enough.

listen, i gave you all the advice that i could possibly give to someone like you. I had such high hopes that you would improve, that i would see something that is not blatantly inspired by manga. but that is inspired by heart.

But you didn't learn. you didn't fucking learn.

Your shit is still the same bland product you keep offering. just in a different setting. It doesn't matter. It's still shit. I hate everything in this picture, The anatomy is fucking confusing as balls, the shading i can still live with. but that doesn't make up for the fact that i hate those color schemes. And that background is horrible, like, i mean, there's horrible, and there's FUCKING HIDEOUS horrible. and the placing of the character isn't complimenting the background at all.

i fucking hate it, you worthless sack off shit, i hate it so much. you make it seem like you put so much goddamn work into this, like you make it seem that doing a color overlay is fucking hard, well i'm sorry to say, but you are fucking retarded. and that's being nice. I can do a goddamn overlay in like 5 seconds. Unless you have fucking carpal tunnel syndrome or parkinsons, you don't really have an excuse for being slow.

Fuck i hate this, i hate you, i hate all of your goddamn works. you think you are such a prolific artist that will change the world, that you and your art is fucking perfect on every level. well sorry to crush your dreams asshole, but that isn't the case. Now i'm going to sound very fucking cocky, but i know from myself, i'm a fucking better artist than you. by like a million. and that's talking about me doing low effort.

I gave you all of my advice, and you just decided to be cocky. and tell me off. well guess what, live in your stupid fantasy world. and die alone

Fuck you. 0/0 for everything

If you hate it so much, why'd you bother to review? Just a thought...

[Calypso of Darkness]

for someone who has seen 'plenty of naked women'..

... and 'studied anatomy', you really fucked up on this one. relevant to your beliefs of how a female looks, if put in practice, and this was an actual person, she wouldn't be able to walk up straight. the torso is way to thin and slender, the legs are too long and the head is gruesomly disproportioned. same goes for your interpretation of the "boobies". next to that the perspective looks awfully off. you could say to me to fuck off and die in a hole. but living in a family from which the majority does art, and me, a person who is attending an art school, i can see the technical flaws of it all.

yes i do not draw antomically correct, i accept huge flaws in anatomy for my interest in what the perspective of art is. and i'm more fond of drawing silly doodley characters, and the funner, easier things that my doodles represent. the modern esthetic of grafitti also influences that.

considering you could break me down on every little thing in my drawings. the problem with you is you actually think this is technically correct. that the anatomy is flawless. i would say you looked at some random anime for this. but let me tell you one thing. anime and manga anatomy is far from related to the anatomy of an actual person.

so the verdict? 0 out of 10, because if this is awful. putrid color schemes, horrid anatomy and your bloated sense of self righteousness isn't going to save you. Sure, people will love this, but only a small target audience will appreciate this. 6 to 8 hours to complete something of this caliber is very unrealistic, considering i could draw something this awful on a very old computer, with a mouse, in maybe less than a half an hour.

i would recommend you the book "Essential Fashion Illustration" by Maite Lafuente or " Step-by-Step Studio: Drawing Concepts: A complete guide to essential drawing techniques and fundamentals" by diane dardaci. These are people who have been drawing their entire lives, people who know the essentials, the fundamentals, the tools and the patience to make something beautiful. i'd say throw out all your manga drawing guide books and anime DVD's, grow up, and start concentrating on realistic things. start by going outside and drawing your area, draw the people, draw the houses. it takes patience. it's not about how long you work, because i know people who can make insane portrets in less than minutes. so stop being so self absorbed and try it.

that's about it, i have given you all the advice i can possibly give. so yeah

T;dr; your art sucks, get practicing, or die like a failure...

-Love, nantes.

I'll only use references...Sorry, I learn best MY WAY.

[Chibi Drewz!]

look, i'm just trying to help.

well, first off, i have to say that i don't like this. that i really don't like this, in fact, i dislike it so much that i actually hate it. but, i'll try to go easy on you.

i have to start off, with the proportions. yes, Chibis, have small proportions, but Even in chibi land, you have some sort of anatomy. this lacks both Anatomy and style. fact is, the torsos are too long, the arms and legs are too short. considering for a chibi. Second of is the use of colors. it couldn't get any blander and lazier, the horrid pink color, that ugly swampy moss-green you find in default in MS-paint and that putrid turd-brown for the hair. there is also a lack of depth, there isn't much going in the departement on shading. which makes it even uglier.

yes, there are artist who have lack of shadows, but know enough about color. enough that they can create amazing pictures without any shadow. for the record. you aren't one of them. i would think you are color blind.

also, the line art. really? it looks like you drew this in vector. yet, vectors are for people who know how to draw, and draw for a living. i don't know if this is scanned in, or vectored. but either way it's gross. stop that

in general i hate chibis, so that's a big turn off for me. i hate it, and that will never change.

also, i just don't like the composition of the picture too, the characters are just slapped around everywhere, i hate it, i hate all that shit.

has it really, come to this? yes, but you are the one to blame
you know what, fuck it. 3 out of 10. and that's being respectful.

[Darion]

hey

hey, i gave it a 5 for your artistic skillz. but i gave it a 0 here because it's darion. even if you draw him better than he looked in the source pic. you can't polish a turd.

[Mz. Daiquiri]

wow.

is it me or are you really objectifying women? the goddamn female rights organistaions would be all over you and this scandalous picture. There is nothing wrong with the drawing, in fact it's a very nice drawing, but the message you are conveying here is just way to fucking wrong. "oh just dress like a complete whore and guys might give you free stuff." is not really a decent message to bring to young teenage girls (if there are any on the site).

of course, nobody on this site minds that you made this, they are way to busy fapping to dat ass.

I give it a one because the drawing is very well done, but the message you are binging across is simply atrocious.

LovelyKouga responds:

Honey, I'll let you know I am somewhat of a feminist, and don't take this picture so seriously!

This picture has NOTHING to do with female rights or anything...I am simply conveying the personality of the character. She's a teacher and she teaches her class things like this, and it's for comical effect.

And I have to say; if anything, it's female empowerment. She's obviously been treated nicely by guys her whole life because of her looks, just breezed through life. And as a result has never had to work on her smarts, hobbies or work hard for anything in general. I feel more sad for her than anything else.

...

i am a dirty little whore so i gave you 5

[SONIC SHIT DRAWING !]
