Jazza's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Anna]

This is great! I love it, such a simple concept and executed very well. The drawing is very well done and the lighting is balanced very well, and the drawing of the drawing is even more impressive, since I had to zoom in to see its high quality in full measure. If anything I kinda wish the hands were shaded with as much of a gradient between the lighter and darker areas, but overall this is very well done. Great work! Thanks for sharing

ArcadeHero responds:

Wow! Awesome :)) Thank you, Jazza!

Ooh intense and creepy! I like it :) In your PM you mentioned being concerned with getting proportions and shadow right. It comes with time and practice so don't be too hard on yourself. Your shading is actually pretty impressive, you add a good amount of depth and interest to your image. Keep it up, and thanks for sharing!

JPWalls responds:

Tanks a lot, I really appreciate it!

[Spider woman]

I gotta admit I'm impressed. As a whole the image is a bit rough and lacking, but I'll be honest, I've tried a few solid attempts at making art on the iPad and this beats me easily, its not an easy task. The form is quite goof, of the female, and I assume on an ipad its fairly impossible for you to trace. Aside from obvious things lacking (shading, filling in all the white areas), for what it is this is good work! I'd be interested to see how you go on paper, or with a tablet creating digital art! Good work, keep it up and thanks for sharing :)

Thanks.

[Captain Sparklez Art]

I seem to recall watching a youtube video speedpainting of this. Its very clean in its linework and the colors work well together! The shape of the shadows work well with the form of the face, and as a whole the picture is very eye catching! Thanks for sharing and keep up the good work!

g31r responds:

Thanks man. Yeah I uploaded a speeddrawing on my channel and tried to get CaptainSparklez to see it, but either he didnt see it or he didnt like it. Thank anyways! :D

ZELDA! THE REFERENCE IS ZELDA! Do I win something? Yes?

I love this pic man, the way each section is individually blocked out in a cutout style is very cool. Its like simplistic poster art, but lends itself to a narrative based style. The colors are also extremely strong. I love the way that the coutout sections along the mountains going lighter then darker give the illusion of mountains being behind a layer of fog or clouds. Also, for some reason the moon looks like he's really itchy, like he has chicken pocks. for gods sack SCRATCH HIM!

Awesome work, thanks for sharing! <3

Gerkinman responds:

Awww Jazza, your so sweet <3

[Shh...this is my world!]

Very very very impressive! There is an astounding amount of detail here! I love the bright colors, and how you haven't neglected the background at all, in fact thats where most of the details are! I love the way the light shines down from the top of the image, and how the organic parts of the scene (like the moss) have a softer, more 'painted' feel. The tail of the mermaid feels a liiiitle bit unnatural, like it's popping out of her back or something, but thats the only thing I could say to improve on, and thats looking hard for something, because there's so much to be impressed by in this piece, incredible work. Keep it up, and thanks for sharing!

PintaMiMundo responds:

Jazza ** Thanks a lot for this comment! I didn't think you'll answer so fast :p
Yah, I know the prospective of the tail is a little exceeding, but I'm happy that you like the bg! I worked very hard on it! Thanks again! <3

[Some girl]

I like this! the way you painted the image makes i feel like its a watercolor painting. Its clear you've paid a lot of attention to the composition. I feel like the hand is almost lost though, like its color is too similar to the curtains behind it. The central figure, the girl, is very nice though, and invokes a strong aesthetic of emotion. Good work, keep it up! And thanks for sharing :)

Salmanazar responds:

tnx from your criticism :)

[Firelands]

I've gotta be honest, this is one of my favorite pictures shared with me so far (I've had around 60+ sent, and counting). It executes what its trying to execute, SO well. like, near perfect. It holds its ambiance with a great intensity, but with such incredible aesthetic that it feels almost effortless. This is the kind pf painting that I'd love as a HD desktop background as well, hehe. Anyhow, as an environment it feels like its yearning to be a story to be told, and it helps my opinion that red is my favorite color ;) REALLY great work. Keep it up, and thanks for sharing!

DoDaThang responds:

Oh crap you replied! I must have notifications switched off somewhere because I never catch these.

Anyway thanks for your words I honestly wasn't expecting that so... yeah, thanks. :)

Really enjoyed the first show by the way.

[Althea]

This is very impressive! You draw cloth particularly well, and the character has great features and expression! I'd be careful with your proportions, her left arm tapers off to become a little too small, and her right arm holding the spell looks like its held in a slightly uncomfortable position, but otherwise youve done great, and have some very impressive skills with digital painting! Keep up the great work!

MissLace responds:

Thank you for your input. I've been trying to practice my foreshortening, but i never thought about the spell casting arm. If you happen to have any advice on making more natural poses? Thanks in advance, and I'm glad you like my work! :)

[Winter]

quite a haunting figure, I don't know why, perhaps he looks ghostly, as being so white on top of that grey background. Anyhow, your linework is fairly strong, but the proportions are a little off. Don't worry, it comes with practice and time! Keep at it and you'll get there. Keep it up! :)

SinSpade responds:

Thanks, yeah i will work on the proportions.
