IloveNantes's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Aigis' Evasive Action]

they may be egging on you, but one positive thing about this is that you're actually trying new types of compositions in this drawing.

although yeah, she does look more like a real human than a robot in this.

KiwiSundae responds:

Thank you. Thank you very much!

[ALienFlag]

Ahh yes, the old thumbnail boobage trick.

SmokeryDots responds:

Yeah, that's why you're here right? :D
-But there actually is boobs in it, down the corner, so you won't leave disappointed :P

[Sylveon]

actually pleasant to look at

KiwiSundae responds:

Whoa...Wait...Am I seeing this? Nantes being NICE?!! OH MY GOD! SOMEONE ALERT THE UNIVERSE! WE'RE ENTERING A QUANTUM SHIFT!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

In all seriousness, thanks a lot! It means a lot that you're actually being nice this time!

[Clarice With a Friend <3]

This is incredibly well done, and I really like how you painted her skin--I enjoy seeing blue skintones painted correctly.. You've definitely shown you can shine in a few pieces. In fact I'll just go out and say the zeppelin in the background contribute to the setting and the way you set the holograph seal in the mood. very erotic and nice. i love it. thank you!!

P.S.

APRIL FOOLS! Stop objectifying women, you disgusting pathetic sick fuck, it's no wonder even Hillary left your delusional ass. you're not good looking enough, far from it, to pull the 'edgy player' angle off and i'd suggest you just advertise yourself the hell out on a craiglist advertisement or better yet a furry dating site online to HAVE. EVEN. REMOTELY. A CHANCE IN HELL. of getting laid. not like you'd even know how to make a lady orgasm anyway, everything is already about you, you, you, you selfish pig.

P.S.S.
Escalus's men are nowhere as embarrassingly sexually exploitative as your disgustingly, grotesquely drawn animu chicks. even if I don't really think they're all that, shes at least more self aware and WAY better at art, AND WAY BETTER at reception and taking art criticism and improving AND DEFINITELY WAY BETTER AT INNOVATING HERSELF are you as hypocritical as you are delusional?? I think so! I'm shocked you haven't started oinking yet, you disgusting pig.

KiwiSundae responds:

Porn objectifies women in similar manners, yet you claim I am as bad as the average porn director? Perhaps you should speak with the women who direct the majority of porn these days...

[Wildrose a.k.a Jenine Spencer]

I don't need to hope you never become a graphics designer or whatever the fuck you want to be in art, because it's obvious that at age 21-ish, unwilling to change your techniques (not even trying to change the way you hold a fucking pencil), and your immature mantrums combined with your sickeningly sheltered attitude will never ever get even a serious look at your future portfolio. lol. I mean, I've been following you over two years now and you've never changed not even once. haha. you're a lost cause. just get a 9 to 5 job sitting in a cubicle or photoshopping porn genitalia because you have no motivation, no drive, no desire to improve in...shit, just about anything really.

KiwiSundae responds:

Wow...abusive as always. Why not pay attention to my thread and look at my recent efforts?

[Clarice Explosion]

fix guns; nuff said

KiwiSundae responds:

Good lord, Nantes! Take the rest of the picture into account! Like I keep asking, BE THOROUGH in your feedback! See SCTE3's example? Not quite the praise I was expecting, but it was insightful, thoughtful, lengthy, and overall helpful. Oh, and if you're trying to mock me, I am very unimpressed. What happened to the mordant bitch Nantes I know and love?

[Some New Shading Techniques]

She must be an alien if she can put all that weight solely on her nonexistant ass and just stay upright like that without falling over

nice tits though I suppose but that's all this is and the fanboys are rating it high just for that. you don't see women as more than sex objects do you? why are you so scared to draw fat where there should be some. because this lady has none, I mean she has literally no ass its like you were so scared to draw globules of fat you also shaved down some of her fucking pelvis for gads' sake. and where are her organs?

her tits also defy newton's laws of gravity space and time and all that shit. I mean like, her right boob is protuding out like a bullet and the other is just kind of ...sitting there not responding to the muscles in the pectoral where her arm kinda connects. I mean... the one part of her body you let her have fat on, that boob is too perky and not "hanging" like regular fat if a REAL woman raised her arm like that.

the only way the tits would be like that is if she thrusted her torso forward and sort of bent backwards but shes not. her upper body is very rigid and stiff.

like wtf man

your shit was better two years ago

what happened?!?!?!?!?

KiwiSundae responds:

I will humbly accept your criticism and work on something better.

Just know, that no, I do not see women as sex objects; I see women as beautiful.

[Fairy With Trees]

Man, why are you so obsessed with 'nice' reviews? Get off your high horse.

DragonPunch responds:

You're not helping any.

[FIGHT MUSIC]

Good, nice clean and smooth lines and the color scheme is pleasant with good choices of cool purples and silvers together, plus the glowy eye adds to the piece.

Just one little prob, though, the color and shading technique itself is real good but a bit poorly executed at the same time, in a couple areas like the nearest arm and the hands, the slightly uneven and blotchy areas make me feel like my eyes need a good rub.

I likey.

Sinitron responds:

in retrospect i only like the metal bits personally

i made this while trying to learn photoshop years ago

[Space Art Three]

hate to say it but filter overuse is very obvious here. that said, I myself suck at photoshopping so take that observation with a grain of salt because I honestly don't know how to help you with that part...however what I can legit say is that the clouds swirling over Earth (?) don't look alive, more dead and just 'there', y'know? google 'earth in space', etc... even the famous 1969 snapshot by Apollo is extremely dynamic, you can actually SEE the earth is ..alive, moving. A cause to this problem on your painting might be due to the dull, almost one-tone blue shade, the texture would not impose life or the idea of rippling tides to me because it seems almost papery like the stuff you see on cardboard paper. Play with the concept of contrasting color schemes. There are light blue and dark blue tones on your Earth, sure, but the transition is too dull to look REAL. like... for instance, in the 1969 snapshot, almost all of the earth is a dark blue but also rich in color and the very bright, almost cerulean shade thinly surrounding the ends of the sphere adds more to the depth. Imagine if that bright tint wasn't there?????? Also, the clouds (!!) on the snapshot on the south pole are very dynamic, has a very rich 'body'. Notice how there are varying thicknesses and shapes?? If it was all one flavor it would have looked very flat and boring. The swirls over the bottom tip of Africa and around gives the general atmosphere (literally) a very alive and moving feel in contrast to your painting. Also, the edges of the geographic plates on your painting show up too much next to the water. I would never advocate the blur tool however I'm fairly sure this could have been remedied some way or the other by making the transition more subtle.

NOTE: I was under the impression the 'blue marble' photo from NASA I referred to was taken in 1969. Apparently it was actually from a 1972 mission.

Also the other reviewer is right. The realism is ruined also by the brightness of the surrounding space. Generally, if taken from the planet's focal point, it would be much blacker and darker especially considering our own planet is more than 4.5 light years away from the closest star excluding the Sun. And please. NO LENS FLARE. It automatically horridly stenches an otherwise potent drawing every. single. TIME.

Not trying to tear ya to pieces though, since this was only the third try right?? I do admittedly like the purple and yellow contrasting with each other, I just don't think it'd be necessarily appropriate in a realistic planet scene.

DragonPunch responds:

No, no, it's fine. I understand where you're coming from, and yeah, as I continue to do space art, I will continue to get better and better! I appreciate your feedback!

I'm definitely taking your suggestions into consideration, considering how little experience I actually have with space art in the first place. This is only a new thing that sort of popped up for me, so yeah.
