YummyWhiteLiquid's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[I will survive]

This was a really weird way to get introduced to a fanfic. I just went down the rabbit hole (no pun intender) after I looked for context online about this. It's actually a really decent comic series: it has decent writing and it doesn't suffer much from cringe, horny, shojun hackney writing. The only thing it had which made it controversial is the abortion topic. The thing is though, it handled the subject in a mature way, only it was just placed in a zootopia setting.

I've gone through the trouble and rifled through the trash that is the comment sections of deviantart, youtube, reddit, the zootopia fan site. What the general discourse can be summed up in is this:

- it's mainly people talking about abortion and relationships themselves rather than the comic or its story.
- There would be people going on tangents discussing the intricacies of the characters behavior in the movie vs how they're portrayed in the comic... how inconsistent their personalities are between the 2 (movie and comic).
- Another thing to note is that a lot of people were taking a dump on the writing STYLE, like for example the dialogue, the actions Judy was taking being overdramatic, Nick being too reactionary and blah blah blah, basically boiling down to character motivations making little sense.

My 2 cents on this is that the writing is good for the dialogue in specific when IT'S COMBINED with the emotional expressiveness of the characters' faces and body language. It's naturalistic which is a very hard quality to attain in either art but more so in writing, I love it. For example I found Judy to be excellently portrayed with how emotive she was physically, actually displaying her desperation for each written sentence. Maybe the overall story doesn't make sense but I didn't rate it as a professional story. It's a fanfic. Besides, it's a condensed mini story with no prequel or context. So it should be judged as a fanfic.

Last thing, I'm stunned that barely anyone in the comment sections who didn't like the comic itself for its themes, didn't comment about the art style or how strong it was. The characters' design were faithful to their original designs, but the skillful lighting, the backgrounds, the perspectives, the emotiveness in body language and facial expressions were what was so impressive. "I Will Survive" is a really good case study of how technical skill can be overlooked entirely if people don't like the story or the writing on a personal level.

Wait a minute wtf. How was this uploaded 2 years ago and it just now got frontpaged? I've never seen any submission on Newgrounds get awarded anything or frontpaged more than a week after it was released. This is nearly 2 years old now! Wow, there's a first time for everything

[Atheist Sanctuary - Museum of Conspiracy Theories]

This may very well be the most impressive art piece I've ever seen in my 12 years here on Newgrounds. I read some of the other comments but I still can't understand what exactly is the meaning or the message of the art pieces. Is this fictional lore of a personal universe you created? Is it cryptic metaphors or riddles? Is it actually an analogy of some real life work you're doing? I know you said that money has substituted religion but I genuinely have no clue how any of these drawings relate to the concept of conspiracies or money and atheism as a religion

[For Ed Times Sake 1/2]

This is actual grade-A kingshit! Keep it up

LIQUIDCULTURE responds:

Thank ya kindly

[Pixel parked domain girl (181x162px)]

I don't know exactly what's going on, I have a vague clue but I could be way off. @pixelturkey, you mind enlightening me and everyone else here why this used to happen and why these random labels and links keep changing names?

pixelturkey responds:

People would forget to renew a domain name they owned, and an enterprising company would register it to list it for sale, hoping to turn a profit.

The page they'd put up looked like the one in the gif I made, and it would show search terms that people had searched for or might be related to the domain name.

Back in the day, the search terms didn't refresh unless you reloaded the page or visited a different expired domain that the same company registered.

I thought it was more interesting to see the search terms update, to help deepen the experience of seeing odd things people were supposedly searching for, so I made it happen.

Hope that explains it 🙂

[Monster Hunter]

Knew I recognized that artstyle. I see you're still kicking :)

[Alpha and Omega]

For a 1st drawing submission it's not bad. Considering this is OVER A DECADE OLD and seeing all this work put out over the years, you can see the contrast between your style back then and your style now. Also your skill improved alot. And let me say I really like your style now, it just hits a soft spot in me that I respond to very positively. Don't forget where you came from/where you started

linda-mota responds:

you know it's funny because there were some other art here I posted closer to the ogirinal date I signed up that I deleted. i don't remember why, and even older shit's gone from deviantart unfortunately. it's weird like wow 10 years already cause later that year i dated him and went my own way from that friend goup when we split like almsot 9 years ago..

[Kruggsmash fanart- Scorchfountain]
