[Tankmen SG-1]

Why?...

Did this never make frontpage?

*thumbs up*

Brilliant, simply brilliant...

Luwano responds:

Thank you, I appreciate it!

[Fist Bump]

Ill be honest..

I don't like this piece... You have a lot of other really good works but this one is just not that amazing...

I know you were frontpaged once before (with the totally awesome lion) but I cannot understand how this one got frontpage.

Maybe if Goku looked a bit more like Goku I would semi-understand how you got frontpage...

No offense of course.

BiggCaZv2 responds:

Twice. Frontpaged twice before... >_>

Alright. Well firstly, Thanks for the constructive feedback. I don't want to come off like a whiny douche when I come off this, but I'm gonna disagree. Not because I drew it, because I honestly feel like some of the other pieces I did deserve it more than this, but because I feel as though it does deserve to be front page at least.

Its concept, mainly. When the typical anime-tard pairs these two together, its pretty homo-erotic, and if you don't believe me, go to deviantart and type their names into their search engine together. And that aside from the whole "bro fist" thing is still hip, as opposed to the characters that are older than the majority of the people that browse this site.

The way I draw it is very non animeish and the two characters have very definitive features as opposed to how Akira Toryama drew them. Yes, Goku's neck is unnaturally long, but so is Vegeta's. That's intentional, because they are not human. I also played with their eyes so that they are not human looking either. Later, I'll submit a drawing I did of Ratiz to show you what I mean. They're not human, so I make it a point to make them look unhuman. They'd have fangs if their mouths were open, and their fists are huge compared to the normal human.

And they look like who they look like, that's how you were able to identify them. The only mention I made to the series was from the tags. If you're talking about me drawing them like the original creator, then I don't know what to tell you. He whipped these up in accordance to weekly deadlines he had to meet, and I elaborated. So I drew them the way I feel alien humanoids should look.

Above all that, execution. The majority of the frontpaged images are digitally rendered in full color. This was done traditionally in black and white and in pencil. In one pencil. If for no other reason, it just goes to show that you don't need a program that costs hundreds of dollars and an expensive tablet to create something that can be received well on the internet, let alone on Newgrounds.

So even if you don't like the drawing or the characters, its still proof that strong fundamentals alone can carry a piece. No photoshop required.

[Naruto VS Fullmetal Alchemist]

Pretty good.

I really like your little monster pictures, and I enjoy your use of blood splatter in most pictures...

This is not my FAVORITE of your work, however.......

Naruto totally deserves to get his punk ass beat down by Edward!!!

ThinXIII responds:

I have to agree with you, not a good work. just did this for the sake of killing the fag.

[The Great Sandwich]

Simplistic, yet awesome.

I love the colors.. I love the designs... I love this little piece of art!!

Peanutbutter looks a little nervous.. Not really like he wants to be friends with the rather rude jelly... (who is flipping him off???)

...

You have the peanutbutter color, the jelly color, the bread color in the background... Heck you even have that spot of mold you find on your bread once you take your first bite in the middle!!! ^.^

IAmSpullen responds:

peanutbutter is just shy, and jelly is too bossy... of course he doesnt want to be around him

[Gigantor Hunting in the Forest]

Wow at the detail...

The detail, the graphics, the colors...

This is an extremely well done piece of work!!!

...But there is one thing I must know....

Is that a Cop-stache?

Osuka responds:

hahaha yeah, that Cop-stache is in the original character made by JohnnyUtah. You dont want to see it without the Mostache, looks really bad, trust me XD

[Background Concept]

I may be looking to hard into this...

Which I totally am.. BUT!

I noticed the closest house first, thinking it was meant to be a face.. Or a person.

Then I noticed the other one with a (coffee?) and the one beside it leaning in...

In my head I thought the two houses were talking to one another (notice the leaning ones window is open, the one with the coffee could just be drinking it.).

Then I seen the laundry on top the houses and thought to myself: "Wow, this is simply brilliant! He is using a metaphor for 'exchanging dirty laundry'.."

...Then I read it was just a background image.... Still thought it was pretty sweet!! ^.^

robtl responds:

yeah you are looking into this too much.

[The Reaper of Modernity]

I thought something WAY different..

Dude I thought the one in the middle was Obama and the one that you cannot see was clinton..

I could have sworn the devil was fueling their thoughts while they aimlessly floated about with no clear idea of their goals and a man laid out tacks for them to fail on.

But I have just been reading into alot of political stuff latley so that explains it!

UNDERNATION responds:

yes.....um, there's no political statement here at all (cough cough.). Is it hot in here?

[EHC'S DANGEROUS JIM]

Involving the comment below me's reply!

I thought this was based off of the most dangerous game!!!

That was like a common book almost all schools around here HAD to read!

If you have honestly never looked into you should give it a read, wont take but an hour.

Also most of these bios and pictures remind me ALOT of the Venture Bros. episode were three assassins where hired to take out Brock Samson! (Possibly something you should look into and maybe make homage to the guy who loves comic books and wears a freaking elephants head on his chest? ^.^)

dommi-fresh responds:

unfortunately i have never read a novel all the way threw. (except for graphic novels i guess) and i don't intend to start its not that i can't read or because i have a poor education its just that reading is something i hate doing. i can understand why people do it but i just don't.
however if it was an audio book i would listen to it.
apart from that i would love to see the venture bros episode you speak of. i don't think i have seen that one. thanks for reviewing the drawing mate
