sweet21 2013-02-18 12:44:23

I can see where you're coming from.

PANFLETIN 2013-02-23 19:12:15

haha well you definitely have a point and perhaps the style of the above dudes is unreal but it works for them, nevertheless seeing your drawings (that look human-real for me haha) makes understandable your deception i guess, so i support you ;) haha

Every time I see TheShadling's stuff up on the Hot Art page I kinda feel like pulling my hair out. Then I have to have a long critical thinking session and I always, ALWAYS come to the conclusion that that's what Newgrounds is about. Hell, I'm more likely to click on stuff with boobs and an M or A rating in the thumbnail, too, and I'm a straight chick. If I wanted to be part of a more hoity-toity art community I would focus on Deviantart. Oh, wait, I forgot that on DA Deathnote cosplays are worth their weight in platinum. I guess the art niche I'm in is always going to have a 'meh' fanbase. But anywas.

It does raise a question, which you hinted at-- if they were less popular with the sticky-palmed inhabitants of Newgrounds, would they be more driven to increase the quality of their art? There's no doubt these guys are always improving, but when your hormones and fanbase are screaming for glossy blush'd-breasted hotties are you really going to try to concentrate on your technique? When I grew out of my porn-art stage I realized that the answer is a very loud Fuck No. I had to sit on a block of ice in order to get any artistic studying done.

I guess if I were to be an art snob about it then I would say that porn art is about only the most sexy body parts (no shit). A lot of effort goes into making the breasts, mouth, ass and crotch all look appropriately slick and plump. The lines that connect these body parts (lets call them the Sexy Four) are less important, o'course, because the artist's and viewer's eyes are always going to be concentrating on the Sexy Four rather than the bits you can't put your dick into.

This urge to draw all the four best cuts of a hunk of woman-meat can also cause the artist to make a hard choice: focus on fewer parts and get a less spazzy drawing, or say fuck it, let's twist and contort this woman's anatomy like she's been packed into a briefcase so we can see AAAALLLLL the best bits.
So I guess if one were to wring any advice out of my big rambling speech, it would be to read a goddamned anatomy book and to settle on three or less of the Sexy Four body parts.

But I have to stop spitting jealous paragraphs now, I have to go read the Shadlings Lezzing of Korra because dat shit it hot

damn shadmans anatomy is fucking awful and most of his shit is mainly offensive just to be offensive
i dont know how all these prepubescents can jack off to his feces but newgrounds found a way

bocodamondo 2013-03-06 19:34:32

to defence of speedosausage; he did used mouse those draw all his work so it is hard to do it right. and second he is just messing around , i dont think hes taking hes art style seriously
.
but on other ways i do agree with you , espacily on shadman & fatelogic , cheese those twos anatomy drawing is making me sick... but then again i dont think they ARE supposed to look realistic. i mean its an cartoon. take a look at "jessica rabbit" for example her anatomy is fucking immposible but since she is a cartoon character its fine.

... but what about my garbage? i am i also like those...because i do try to stay on real anatomy as much as possible...well as much as i can that is...i still need to learn alooot of body anatomy...espacily the males...

kmau 2013-03-07 05:43:17

I appreciate your honesty but on the other hand I accept and tolerate that people draw for different reasons even though I share your opinion in some points. It's horrible how many artists and media fall under your points of critique but we probably shouldn't take it that seriously. It is up to us to make the difference after all, right?

DotExecutables 2013-04-06 23:20:30

Though I do agree many artists have their anatomy and such wrong, I find it very silly of you to point out other peoples flaws when I notice you, along with every other artist, have flaws and a style that someone else won't like.

Everyone cannot cater to a person's liking because they point out a flaw or two.

DotExecutables 2013-04-06 23:23:13

As well, it's best not to bitch about others art, for it just makes everyone think you're a jerk and people will find you unlikeable. Point out the positive things in the art AND the negatives in a less "I know what I'm talking about, and you're below me" way that you've came across when reviewing my art work (and certainly many others).

kmau 2013-04-08 13:26:15

You know, reading your reply to me and others actually made me alter my opinion, there need to be people that do what you do.

Template88 2013-04-08 13:56:33

Please, people who come here because I've commented on your artwork, understand this point first...

ANATOMY IS NOT A STYLE. STYLE IS A COMPLETELY SEPARATE THING FROM ANATOMY. CONVINCINGNESS IS A DIFFERENT THING THAN ANATOMY AND STYLE. CHANCES ARE I DONT GIVE A FUCK ABOUT WHAT STYLE YOUR DRAWING IS MADE IN, ITS THAT IT DOESNT LOOK HUMAN BECAUSE YOU HAVE NO CONCEPT OF ANATOMY OR SENSE OF HOW HUMAN GESTURES WORK.

PatBest22 2013-04-08 14:21:52

I am amused and I agree. Carry on.

BioWave 2013-04-10 20:42:43

Theshadling's "art" is very disgusting :(

MAKOMEGA 2013-04-15 15:38:04

I like the style and art of theshadling; for the shading, details and lighting effects but anatomy is a little weird, maybe he disguises all defects in the anatomy With all That magic...
speedosausage i only like the animation and parodies but hes art is blergh

crashadams 2013-04-16 12:52:36

I like the short guide at the end...this is why I normally prefer to draw creatures because I'm always super critical of my own anatomy work (it's frustrating when you are building a 3d character and have to literally build a muscle system that effects the characters skin). I think maybe once I finish my current art challenge I'll do a 2D one...

VicariousE 2013-04-17 02:48:25

I could curl up and sleep in this post, it feels so right. The artists you mentioned, I have followed and reviewed for some time (except for jettyjetjet, found him just recently and am enriched by his presence here).
What you say is all excruciatingly true, and I thank ya. Might PM you some more offenders for your analysis O_0

nggangsterpimp 2013-04-18 12:44:19

Number 1 is definitely the best.
