Good stuff, bruv, and some bloody nice brushstrokes.

Gotta upload a few more before you can hit the Art Portal proper, though.

Hey how its going!
Thanks dude, yes, you are right, I was kinda trying the platform, havent used it before for uplading artwork but its great!

That amount of punishable whiff time on a grab is astounding, he'll never get out of low tier at this rate.

Hopefully his hair is a hitbox too.

What I love about Steroids is that he has no neck. He is a stumpy head commandeering a meat monolith.

Reaching the Nuclear Throne is easy enough, trying for the HQ on a loop is what destroys me. But even if you didn't reach the Nuclear Throne, you at least reached full marks for the piece.

HugoVRB responds:

He's my favorite!
And I'm still trying. Love the game.

Only you could draw the NG staff lusting after floppy small boy dicks and still get it frontpaged.

A masterpiece in concept, execution, and public reaction.

nitrile responds:

floppy? he's got an m4 sherman between his legs. he'll blow your nuts off.

it's only a matter of time before they realize what's truly going on.

id fuck that robot

the girl can watch, and jack off.

Yo krinkels, just a few pointers:

- Everyone likes a big pair of hooters but these come along as saggy old-lady tits. Might want to invest in a push up bra, you dig? Nice shape to em, though.
- Legs are pretty small, dude. Not midget or totally unnatural small, just small enough to stick out and when going for sexy, most artists like to extend the legs for a reason. A SEXY reason.
- Her left hand is... well, you've probably already picked that up.
- Ears a bit unnatural. I mean this surprises a lot of people but smaller ears aren't all that sexy
- Ronald Mcdonald would LOVE her boots.

I have a habit of starting off with the shit so I can end it on a sweet note. This is, without a doubt, the best possible interpretation of Jesse ever. Ever. No contest, everyone else go home, this guy takes the prize.

Later, dude.

Yo Luw.

Use either less soft brushes or more hard ones. Obvious you just copy pasted the flower, missed an opportunity for some multi-angle fuckinjg. Plant in the foreground doesn't read, barely noticed the thorn. Colours are boring, ain't no unifying warm or cool there. Dew drops defy gravity. Light on the flower and the vine is coming from two different directions.

Ain't memorable, but an improvement over your last submission.

Luwano responds:

Thanks for your review. I screwed up on the background rose, I know. I had to rotate it and orignally planned to redo it once the foreground is done, but time ran out on me.

Copying the rose was actually necessary and the point of the pic was to have the same refelection again and again. I even tried drawing it one more time for the biggest dew drop, but halfway through I realized that there was little sense in spending double the time to make it look half as good.

As for the mutliangle thing, it's a good idea for another pic, but there would not be a noticable difference in angle if you look through two drops that are hardly an inch away from each other, or would it?

The drops don't defy gravity, if you looked at the reference there were similar drops on the top side of the branch. If anythingy I made mine too big or the stem too small.

You are right about the overuse of soft brushes and that I should have done more to the foreground plant. I think adding more thorns could have helped.

Thanks for taking the time to write a proper review and for your pointers and tips. It's really helpful.

Hey dude.

Usin' a small brush to scribble in noise does nothing but punch this piece in the dick. Light in the background is illuminating shit-all. Border to the piece looks like it was done in MS Paint. Cliffs an eyesore.

Digging the surrealist absurdity. Later.

What up, Z. Ain't got the patience for prose so lets spit this shit out.

Transition from metal to skin on the second gal screams lazy brushing. Nice specular mapping on their armour but its a shame you couldn't do the shame to their headdresses - darker values would pop that shit right out. With the width between her eyes she looks like a salamander.

Warm and cool lights look out of place - shoehorned into the pic. Pretty obvious that you slapped on colour with a "colour" layer. Hair looks like a string mop. Transitional string things between the two girls are just plain weak.

But it's a pretty cool piece, man.

Now right about now you're all going "WHAT IN THE SHIT, LINT? WHY YOU GOTTA SCORE LIKE THAT?"
I want you to keep in mind that I'm comparing you to AlvinHew, to all the greats in the portal and quite a few greats outside of it.

Why? Because I don't believe in being a condescending little prick with my scores, Luw, and I'm pretty sure you can take it.

Fact is it's obvious that you quite know how light works. Comparing the steaks of light across the frog to other parts of the same creature and the light seems to come from anywhere - above, across, there's just no singular point of light and it really makes the creature look worse. The frog itself doesn't even seem to cast a shadow, with points like the creature's back legs still being inexplicably lit.

To counteract that, I fucking IMPLORE you to do some studies from life. Learn how light works, and apply it to your paintings. You've been at this for a while and really haven't gotten any better, and from my own perspective that seems to be because you don't understand how light works.

While we're on the subject of light, don't be afraid to push the boundaries as far as they'll go - use dark shadows and highlights, your art really seems to be the product of being very timid with how you approach your form and you really need to push yourself if you're going to get better at this.

The texture that you've got going here has, for a lack of a better fuckin' expression, been liberally applied and yet have a minor effect - the thing about texture is that it's meant to indicate material (in this case brush metal and a very cardboard-looking background) and despite that there's been no indication of highlights and while it helps indicate form, its very much obvious that you just applied the texture and went back over it with a soft brush.

Don't be afraid to render your pictures more - add some detail, make it interesting, play with it. See what you can do with it.

The background is easily another pretty bad part of this - honestly, it just looks like a really sad attempt to make the picture more visually busy and try to balance out the simplicity wrought by the focal point.

But overall? Luw, this pic just isn't interesting. It's a very visual simplistic painting of a very simplistic creature in the very standard profile view. "Be more creative" is a dick thing to say, but that's exactly what I'm saying.

Practice, Experiment, and Analyse. Please? Feel free to PM me if you need any clarification on what I'm saying here.
