DannyP's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Zombienaut]

You ARE art

It's just plain awesome. On a somewhat different note, I'm suddenly reminded of an animation I saw on YouTube with some rock n' roll, time travelling apes.

[Kokoroed]

Pretty sweet

The demon thing and those bubbles could be drawn better, of course. The main thing I don't really like here is the mouth area. A friend of mine once commented on one of my works saying that my character looked like they had an underbite or something when I had the lips kinda in line like in this picture. So, when I draw side views, I have the upper lip bump out more and sometimes have the jaw/chin sorta slant in as it goes down. Take from that what you will. Everything else looks pretty sweet.

Well

The hips don't look wide enough and the legs definitely look too short compared to the rest. The shading on the skin isn't very noticeable. I think I like everything else, especially the hair.

[OnionsXD BAMF]

I personally don't like it that much

I don't really like this sort of cartoon style where limbs are stretched and bent like noodles. I think the background is almost interesting... I like the circles, but I think it looks too plain as is. I think the skin's shading needs to be more noticeable.

OnionsXD responds:

Hmm....that's the second time somones ever mentioned not liking noodle arms but I see them all the time on cartoon art...I kinda agree the background may be a little plain which is why I'm looking up popart right now so next time I'll have more ideas to put down. and about the skin? I can kinda agree. SO thank you for the advice!! ;P

Good

For the person in the back, I think the rear arm looks shorter than the other and that the pose seems a bit unnatural. The upper body seems like it might not match the legs there. I also think the eyes look too close together. You can normally fit one eye's width inbetween a person's eyes. I mean, there's an angle to work with there, but I still don't think an eye would fit. The only other thing I don't really like about that person is the details in the ears; it's not very convincing.
I think pretty much everything else looks quite good, especially the background.

LinaInverseFan responds:

I had more issues when drawing my wife than anything else. As you pointed out, her pose made things overly complicated, because it is unnatural. However, that is the pose my wife wanted to be drawn in. I tried my best to both draw what she wanted, and to do so correctly.

I have heard others make criticisms about her eye. Angle and perspective made things difficult for me when drawing her. I will take this mistake as a lesson, and try to not do it again in the future.

[The Templar]

Could use a better background

I like how you shade with solid black. Quite a few of the lines look pretty rough or rushed, but I like how that looks, too. I don't think it would have the same cartoony charm with clean lines.
Cool design and stuff. I think the thumbs could maybe use some work, but the hands look pretty good otherwise.

StoneFeather responds:

Thanks :D I tried to make the lines look rough, but I do understand the background needing to be made better.

[Elements of Chibi]

I like the simplicity

I think it's a pretty good picture, but you should try making different backgrounds rather than just using this orange/yellow exciting sunrise thingy all the time.
Also, I think it looks bad how you have the pirate cut off at the bottom and the zombie cut off on the bottom and to its left. Like, we can see the background where it should be covered... You should crop those edges of the picture, methinks.

StoneFeather responds:

Thanks for your helpful criticism, I chose the background because the first four were quick works, and the poor crop job on the left and bottom were due to Flash crapping out on me and not being able to do a final crop.

[Jaq Haruhi]

Good

It looks quite good, though a little unpolished/rushed with some of those rough lines and rough shading... it seems like there's just some general lack of attention to details. And this is definitely not pixel art.

NikkyRawrs responds:

Thank you for the criticism...and telling me it's not pixel art...totally understand, I'm still new and I'm not sure how to categorize digital drawings... xD...
Explanation behind the rough lines and shading: I don't spend a lot of time on my drawings, and this in particular took me about an hour.

Thanks again.

UV rays

Looks good overall, but is there any reason for all that white space? Also, his hips look a bit wide to me... like, feminine. And I don't really understand the purpose of that lens flare... I bet tons of people would put it on his belt buckle, but why in some miscellaneous white space? If it's the sun, I don't think it reflects all the shading too well... I think you did a good job with the arms and clothing folds in particular.

ZachsAnomaly responds:

I always do white in the background 'cause I'm a fruit loop. LOL.

And he's weird in the anime 'cause with his clothes on, he has GIANT pants that're extremely wide in the hips but when he takes his clothes OFF, he's a stick figure---he's got like.... an attachable ass or something that comes with his clothes. I have no idea~ Pokemon's strange that way~

[Chick 03]

Very good

Your art looks very good and professional. Some of it seems like it might be too hardcore for the Art Portal, though, but I'm not sure. I'm not scouting you because of that, but good luck.
