NothanyTPM's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[ZIPPER! - 2024]

Took a look at your Speed-paint video, and I'm honestly surprised that you weren't using some vector art program like Inkscape to make all of this. Though, learning to use one of these programs could help you out a ton in the long run. You don't need to worry about resolutions, transforming objects too much, or even colouring for that matter, just the aspect ratio and translating a few filters can be a bit tricky.

The workflow of a vector program is also different, but if you need help with Inkscape I can gladly help. Pretty much everything I do now uses Inkscape for a good chunk of it. I only use Krita for things like lineart nowadays.

Also, quick tip that helped me a shit ton with colouring in Krita, and I'm pretty sure it's in Clip Studio is the HSV adjustment filter. Basically all it does is it adjusts all the colours on that layer. However, if you separate each colour to its own layer you can basically adjust every colour you have without needing to constantly re-paint over everything all the time. It's just a little tricky to dial the settings correctly if you have a colour palette that you follow.

But yeah, probably blathered on long enough, love your stuff dude!

I appreciate the suggestion! I definitely want to try out a vector program at some point. I kinda gave up on using vector in Clip Studio Paint because whenever I'd transfer it to Illustrator it wouldn't save any of my pen pressure for some reason.. It'd just convert it as if I drew it without pen pressure? I dunno lol.

But anyway I might try Inkscape, it sounds cool!

Always a treat to see traditional art

Don't we all at the end of the day?

From what I can tell, it seems like it's a problem with both the pencil tool trying to act smooth, and the fill bucket not picking-up completely on the blur the pencil made. Haven't used that program before, but I wonder if there's a way to both decrease the blur on the pencil tool (or the ability to use different brushes), and/or increase how much the fill bucket is able to pick-up. Even then there's also the problem with you not being able to easily flip between frames as quickly.

Not an iPad user unfortunately, so I can't give you proper suggestion or alternative. Best I can do is use what I know from using programs like Krita and Gimp, or look online for other options like Animation Desk, Flipaclip, or Wick Editor. FlipaClip being the most popular option.

Though, I think despite these troubles the little animation still turned-out pretty good. Love the little smear frames on the wings, and the cute smile.

I adore what you did to my character! He looks so cozy all tucked-up in his little bed.

Once again, the details on everything is incredible looking.

Also, his name is Holrad, but I don't mind it if you can call him Harold. It's basically the same name anyways.

Twoeliz responds:

I'm super glad you like it! After all the trouble you went through you deserve a nice drawing. Have a wonderful rest of the year and I hope that the next will be a good one.

Oops, my tablet is a bit aggressive with autocorrecting some things, even some names. Thanks for bringing attention to it, I was able to fix his name.

The thumbnails for each picture is killing me lol!

Man, BF should take his shirt off more often, it really shows off his rock-hard abs

MY BOI!!!

I love what you did to with Ryjer! I could totally see him ruin Holrad's snowmen just to piss him off and start a fight.

Though, I gotta ask, was colouring Ryjer difficult? I know for me I have to pay close attention to the colours I pick just because the colours blend-in easily with his black fur

Thank you! This is an awesome gift, and Merry Christmas!

This is one of my favourite drawings you've done.

Love the distortion effect on the lineart!

PhonographClock responds:

Thank you so so much!! <3
That effect took so long to get exactly how I wanted it so I'm glad you took notice!!!
