Jazza's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Guild wars - Rise]

This is one of those pictures that you could just look at all day, there's so much meticulous detail, it's a real treat. Every line has been carefully implemented and the large scale proportions work well, as does the macro detail. I will note that the image quality could be optimized a little better, with a neater contrast and clarity, but other than that you've done extremely well. Keep it up!

GabrieleB responds:

Thanks I appreciated a lot your review and all the tips in your youtube channel, you really help me keep this as an adventure :)

First upload huh?...

Keep uploading! This is astounding. You have a VERY good understanding of how to render shadows, AND how to optimize a traditionally drawn image for digital upload. Its clear and crisp, clear contrast, and the image itself is just fantastic. I can't wait to see what else you share, keep up the awesome work, you have very obvious talent.

Thank you Jazza!

[Playing With Symmetry]

A lovely aesthetic! Love the colors and I'm glad you uploaded this in high resolution, it seems like something that would make a great desktop background. I personally love/prefer your drawing style, I really wanna see what you do with a finished piece! GET TO IT! lol.

PeterNicholsonArt responds:

Wow, thanks for the feature Jazza, I really appreciate it! :D as far as the finished drawn piece, I'll get on that right away, it's something that desperately needs doing lol

[Reading of the will]

Great technical execution and composition, however its hard for me to connect to this piece since a) it lacks context for those unfamiliar with the reference such as myself and b) it's a narrative rather than something of a more self explanatory piece. That aside though, your image structure is great, nice sepia tone and use of shadows and highlights. The characters expressions are also very well done, keep it up!

VincentVyce responds:

Yeah thats understandable. Many thanks Jazza

[Last Chance]

You're getting ambitious, which is fantastic! Keep challenging yourself! The proportions are a bit off in places, but the images composition and imagination are very well conveyed. Your use of colors is also well picked and laid out. Keep up the great work!

ArcadeHero responds:

Thank you man. I focus on work right now! :)

[Sun rise]

This piece is incredibly simple, and yet pleasing to look at. The building is simple, the layout and composition is simple and minimalistic, but the minimal use of color and shape are done so in a way that is easy on the eyes and nice! Good job. I'd like to see how you go doing a core complicated piece - good luck!

Zeviix responds:

Thanks for the feedback Jazza, I will start working on something more complicated soon :)

[Study time]

What a fantastic artwork! I have nothing negative I can say about this, its just blown me away. First of all the theme and composition are original and very well executed. Incredible use of soft lights and colors. Your use of cell shading is really well done, the character expressions, and emotional communication in this piece. I feel like I'm watching a scene play out in front of me and it's totally believable. I'm adding you and this piece to my favorites, and look forward to seeing more!

TheDamnThinGuy responds:

Oh man, thank you so much! You have no idea how much this means to me, since you're one of my favorite artists. Also, thank you so much for the feature, it definitely put a smile on my face and gave my self esteem a huge boost :)

[naruto hokage]

Nice work! For your first artwork you've done very well. Did you copy or trace this, or draw from scratch? What is it a reference to? Your use of lines and color is clean and well done, great work, keep it up!

drakefrancis responds:

i copied the design. thanks for reviewing my work :)

[Sticky]

Nice compisition, the whole image is simple, but without many complications it has a nice feel to it. The strong contrast helps it pop out more, and you've done very well in making the mouth area look nice and slimy and sticky, hence the title I suppose ;) The picture does feel somewhat lacking but I can't pinpoint what or why, its nothing major though to keep up the good work and thanks for sharing!

Spotsifier responds:

Thanks again for your time and knowledge, your advice is brilliant and spurs me on to create more compositions with your comments in mind =)

[The Hunter eyes his prize]

Very cool! You continue to be ambitious which is very very good, you'll improve very fast if you keep going at this rate! Your composition here as great, great colors, well positioned shadows and highlights etc. The goot looks a little off, it can be hard to get right, and the face feels slightly misproportioned (eyes a bit too close together and other similar but small size management issues). Overall you've done well, keep up the great work!

Frissyboy responds:

thank you :D and yes I have some issues that I can work on :D
