Galneda's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[shiba inu]

For such a friendly face, the hands are extremely unsettling. I get that it's visualizing the age-old "What if canine anatomy morphed into something sapien" and hands are notoriously difficult to draw. But there's something man-killing about those hands. The glossy finish in the pads, the pronounced claws, the meat around the beast's bone. That's the kind of hand that reaches out from the dark and clasps around your throat, and when you try to break free from his grip, it's as if your whole body is submerged.

And as your vision starts to tunnel and your arms slump to your side, the last thing you see is that "Konichiwa Neighbor-kun" face.

He stuffs your lifeless body into his bookbag and goes on with his day.

[Shiny Happy Person]

"Everything's fucked, and that's why you should train. We all have an imminent encounter with violence, and you can't rely on chance winning that fight for you. Always be training so you can conquer what waits for you down your path, he who lurks at the intersection of two separate destiny's. Will you wallow in atrophy and bathe in your circumstance, or thrive in the difficult but worthy endeavor to reforge yourself, better than you've ever been before?

Knowledge. Stamina. Strength. Martial arts. Marksmanship. There is room for improvement in all five fronts, especially with knowledge of human anatomy and their limitations on your attacker. Weakpoints are available at any angle, from any height. Size disparity means little- everyone has an off-switch. Everyone has an injury that can be exploited. No eye is armored. No eardrum unburstable.

Everything's fucked. Read "When Violence Is The Answer" By Tim Larkin

Everything's fucked. Train in Krav Maga, BJJ, or American Boxing.

Everything's fucked. Hit the range. Even if you don't have a gun, if an attacker confronts you with one, learn how to disarm it, and then how to aim and fire it properly.

Everything's fucked. Everyone that says otherwise has the blissful privilege's to be blind to how it isn't. They're a distraction. You should be training."

....There, is that better?

[In the Womb of the Crimson King]

This grippies my socks.

[Soundwave Concept]

OHH FUCK, THIS RIPS.

Always loved this Soundwave design
ALWAYS loved OG Soundwave and his color scheme

This is a match made in Cybertronian Heaven. I love you for this.

[Thorn]

I love little gremlin Velma 'miring her.

[Back To Coperate Schlock]

I'm zooming in as hard as I can to try and deconstruct how you're doing this. Like, how you're giving them that bonafide cartoony line-quality, I can't tell if it's an illusion from the gradient in the background, or if it's a blurry drop-shadow behind all the inkwork, or what the technique was when you went about coloring this, but I'd love to learn how you did it. It's really good stuff.

[No reward is worth the trouble]

Man, I saw this thumbnail, and I was ripped back into the 90s reading comic books. Love everything about this, from the psychedelic meltiness going on in the background, to the incredible shading and successful texturing all over this guy. This rocks, hell yeah!

[The Sun]

Such peace. And the kinda clouds I wish I could fly over.

[The Ironman (COLORED)]

This looks like it was inked on hand onto tangible paper, but I see nothing that gives away the coloring process.

What was the process behind making this piece from the ground up? How much of it is digital, and how much is it physical, because at the moment, it looks like legit comic book illustration.

Discovered your entire profile with that badass flamejob F-15 getting featured on the front page, and I've just been in awe looking at the rest of your portfolio. Had to stop and say something out of curiosity on this one.

Dafteeeer responds:

I'm glad you've liked my work! Thank you!!

Everything I draw or do about art is completely hand-drawn/made. I draw this one (as well as all my drawings) from scratch. I used 0.5mm and 0.05mm sharpies and more sharpies to blackened it...

This colored version is just a copie of the original one (black&white), I just print it and color it with more sharpies ;)

And exactly thats my porpouse! To make it look as good as a legit comic book stuff

[The goats]

Those aren't goats.

Those are Pokemon.

You even tagged it as such.

...Are you okay?
