Pancaketophat's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Freeman]

Alyx was great, I just wish it was more easily accessible to people who can't dump 2 grand on a PC and a headset. (I spent all my money from my first job on these 2 things)

Toshiooo responds:

Alyx was fantastic, and I think it's a great showcase of what VR is capable of (I feel like it's the only game worth playing in VR, the rest all just feel like arcadey minigames).
And turns out there IS a mod you can play without VR, but I can see a lot of the design behind it being missed on playing without it.

Oh man I cannot wait to be put thru that shit blind on my NG+2 character

ZeTrystan responds:

I'm... I'm so sorry for you.

[[STAND MASTER] — JOTARO KUJO]

Do you draw with a thin brush and then add more thickness to your lines as you go, or do you just draw with a thick brush the whole time? I've been trying both and I'm not sure which one is better.

DibuDani responds:

i usually go with a thick brush with pen pressure, then erase and/or add more thickness to my liking
but it depends, for this piece in particular i did reduce the brush size in a lot of places

[Nightmare cops: STAN]

Oh my god he's looking at the one in the box to the right

UnsolvedCases responds:

ClumsyClown responds:

[the beer is on the mouse]

DAMN I guess I have to try colored pencils on cardboard some time. I had no idea it could look so good.

drachenmagier responds:

The effect is amazing, since you don't have to make sure the base colouring is covering everything. :D I recommend to first fill in shadows and then just put colours on for the highlights as a start. :D It's a good way to get used to the material AND the results never fail to look neat.

[Don't keep the devil waiting, old friend]

Are there any artists or courses that you recommend to achieve this sort of intense shading you do? It looks like a lot of fun. :)

Yikoon responds:

Some artists are: Virgil Finlay, Jack Davis, Solano López, Tetsuo Hara, Kentaro Miura, Jack Kirby, etc. I don't take courses so I can't recommend you any, sorry.

[LowPoly Suki]

How long did it take before you became comfortable making these types of 3D models on your own without help from tutorials or anything? I'm still at that stage of learning blender where I can't really do anything on my own and I'd love to work my way up to that point. :)

NeonShambles responds:

My advice is to start small and eventually build yourself up to bigger projects. Start basic, like make a low poly apple or a chair, very simple things to start of with (get a feeling on how to work with the program) After that make simple characters (not too complicated) and from then you’ll gain enough knowledge.

[PSI DUO!]

I love the way you draw their eyes. :) I remember I think getting all the way to the point where you play as the nerdy kid when he's escaping from the orphanage, I think that's probably half way thru the game but I always got bored because I felt like the game was really slow. I love the aesthetic of the series tho I'll probably try out MOTHER some day. Good art! :)

pankerdotpng responds:

thank you! and yeah no if im gonna be honest despite me enjoying alot of jsut walking around and trying to figure out stuff in order to get to the next areas the game goes really slow for my taste, like I got to that point where you were talking about in the morning with Jeff escaping the orphanage, and then spent like 4-6 hours just trying to get through the one area into fourside which is essientally like around the halfway point of the game. I still enjoy most of it though despite it being tedious sometimes
