NothanyTPM's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Stain]

Even with the bitmap tracing, it still turned-out really well. You can excuse yourself for "cheating" because you were mid breakdown while drawing, and people tend to have less patience for meticulous details while in that mood.

I guess one way you can practice making these backgrounds is by using the traced bitmap versions as a reference instead of using it directly, along with a version with brighter lighting so can see where all the walls are. Perspective is a bitch to learn, but to me I just treat everything as a cube, and that helps a ton

PS: I will sometimes just use real photos I've taken for my backgrounds when I feel a little lazy, so in a way I'm just as bad sometimes.

PhonographClock responds:

I've actually been going out and taking a lot of pictures just so I can throw them into Flash later and bitmap trace them. It's been really neat to try and observe how Flash simplifies everything. I don't think I'm anywhere near close enough to replicating it myself but I'm sure I'll get there in time.
Thank you for the kind review!! <3

[Looks directly at the sun]

I heard looking at the sun gives you super powers

[introductions]

Shade seems like a nice guy all things considered.

[Hobbies]

Points for putting the earbuds IN the character's ear instead of on the side of their head like I see so many other pro artists do.

Besides that, pretty nice and cozy looking drawing.

Onziware responds:

THANK YOU VERY MUCH!! c:

I'm glad you noticed that! I like how easy it is to wear earbuds on anthros, because I don't need to make any adaptations to their design to avoid strangeness, which is a completely opposite case from headphones... headphones can look terrible on animal people if no adjustments are made, like in Arthur!

[Autumn]

Absolutely beautiful background! Love the warm leaves, the cool sky, and of course the babe in the middle.

I'm an absolute sucker for forest backgrounds, and you did a fantastic job of making it just simple enough to not clash with the character on top.

Thumbs-up!

[Meet Darcy]

This looks like the type of dude that blast his music while doing sick Tony Hawk Pro Skater combos, and screaming "WHERE DID IT ALL GO WRONG!!!" just to cure his depression.

Nice art btw. Love the simple 2000s-like style you've got going on. Feels almost like a magazine cover of sorts.

oooOOOooo, I'd love to see that Neocities website when it's done. Been thinking of doing one myself, but I've been too busy tinkering with my computers to work on it.

Good luck with those exams! And on the bright side, when they're done you'll have all the time in the world to work on your Neocities website.

At least for a little bit until school starts-up again.

sinnykitt responds:

I was already halfway done with it years ago but deviant art crapped the bed and broke all my image urls and subsequently my gallery and I quit out of frustration XD

yess that's my main motivator to survive those darn exams!

Hoo mama. Those are some massive curves. Not judging your body preferences btw, you draw what you like.

Though, ironically enough despite these massive assets, it kinda looks a little flat. I think part of it might be because the shading. Maybe the anatomy. Possibly the posing.

The colours, linework, and the lettering looks good. It's just to me it's missing a little something to make it go from good to great.

Vista-Sound13 responds:

'Just getting started on anatomy. I appreciate your detailed input.

[electrofied]

Gotta love those 100% accurate ear bones!

It's always neat to see everyone's take on their OC's skeleton. Everyone has their own artistic take on how the bones look, and it end-up being just as creative as the OCs themselves.

[digital nightmare]

Oh my god, how did you live!? I hope you at least use construction lines before sketching it

All things considered it still looks real nice
