Jazza's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Shaolin]

A clear and impressive demonstration of the effectiveness of simplicity. Your piece holds its own fairly well in terms of its composition - the balance of where the viewerâEUTMs eye is drawn and how the piece is laid out is neat and compliments the image and style. The silhouette style of the piece is impressive and well executed. You've done well here I look forward to seeing how you continue to improve. Keep up the great work!

[My second Digital Art]

Nice in its simplicity and clarity but it is lacking overall. The image feels a bit squashed vertically, and there is a clear lack of interest in terms of environment and detail. That aside, keep up the effort and thanks for sharing :)

Very impressive, you just keeeeep improving don't you! GOOD. Your piece holds its own fairly well in terms of its composition - the balance of where the viewerâEUTMs eye is drawn and how the piece is laid out is neat and compliments the image and style. Your painting quality/style is really great, smooth and visually appealing. You have a good grasp of your technique and know how to make your work stand out with it. I will say it looks only slightly out of proportion in that his head looks a little too small for his body, but that aside you've done really well here, great work, keep it up!

Nice work! It's clear to me that you really challenged yourself with this piece, you're trying various advanced techniques which are really hard to get right, and while some areas aren't perfect, the ambition and care taken bring it to a level of which you should be proud. There are a few small things that are distracting, one is that the male's head is much larger than the females. Another is that she's holding the lighsaber towards the back end of the handle, which is a bit unusual. Other than me just being picky, you've done really well an should be very proud! Keep up the great work

Thanks. Glad you finaly had time to tell me about what I've done. I've also noticed that Mara's neck is too thick. And I think that I like that style most. Simple enough, fives opportunity to keep sketchy outlines.

[Tobi and Kabuto]

I have NO idea what these characters are from, if anything, but I can tell you I am very impressed with your style and technical proficiency. Your piece holds its own fairly well in terms of its composition - the balance of where the viewerâEUTMs eye is drawn and how the piece is laid out is neat and compliments the image and style. I LOVE your backgrounds, the cloudy mix of colors and how they compliment the figure they frame. I love your linework and calculated solidity in the style you use. Fantastic piece, keep up the great work!

Thank you so much dude, I am really happy that you like my art and even more that you put it in your showcase. I am really sorry that I reply you after such a long period, but I totally forgot about me submitting an art to you (work and stuff). As for the characters, they are from a manga called Naruto. Thank you once again and I'll be sure to submit some more in the near future :)

Great work! Your painting style is unique and well executed. Your image could be improved with more work on the environment, there isn't much happening here to compliment the piece. You might not need to add too much, but something simple to help balance the colors and lighting would significantly compliment your piece. Your piece holds its own fairly well in terms of its composition - the balance of where the viewerâEUTMs eye is drawn and how the piece is laid out is neat and compliments the image and style. Overall I like your style and the color balance is great, as well as the characters pose and features. Keep up the great work!

What an ambitious piece, very well done! Your piece holds its own fairly well in terms of its composition - the balance of where the viewerâEUTMs eye is drawn and how the piece is laid out is neat and compliments the image and style. It's clear to me that you really challenged yourself with this piece, you're trying various advanced techniques which are really hard to get right, and while some areas aren't perfect, the ambition and care taken bring it to a level of which you should be proud. Be wary when painting in your colors of using black - black is not a natural color. A shadow on or inside a yellow or blue object is not black, it is a darker shade of yellow or blue, and to paint black over top in many cases, is jarring to the natural feel of the colors. Overall the piece is really well done and you should be proud. Thanks for sharing and keep up the good work!

[Blood Driven ORC]

For a beginner you're doing really well, keep doing what you're doing and keep yourself motivated and you'll see improvement comes quite quickly! The image is a little too symmetrical overall, the grass area is a bit flat. Your linework here, while appropriate, lacks style. The most effective way to create a good visual sense of style with linework is to work with more organic shaped, and to vary the linework thickness throughout. That aside, your colors and composition are effective and the characters expression is fun and well done. I think you have good potential and would like to see what else you can do as you continue to challenge yourself. Keep it up and thanks for sharing!

Thanks Jazza. Indeed this piece did take some time and it was the last piece I worked on in PS back in 2011...sad really.

Simple and well executed, though a bit sparse throughout. Your image could be improved with more work on the environment, there isn't much happening here to compliment the piece. You might not need to add too much, but something simple to help balance the colors and lighting would significantly compliment your piece. Your coloring is simple but effective, though your linework somewhat lacks solidity. Thanks for sharing and keep up the good work!
