Jazza's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Simply Woody]

It's clear to me that you really challenged yoruself 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. The background environment you've got here is simple, but appropriate, and much better than excluding a background all together like many other pieces I see seem to do. This piece is decent, itl effectively conveys what you are trying to go for, so good work. Keep up the effort, and thanks for sharing your work with me!

Oh Lara, what have you got yoruself into this time? 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.

This piece is decent, it doesn't seem to challenge you too much, but it still effectively conveys what you are trying to go for, so good work. 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. 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. Keep up the effort, and thanks for sharing your work with me!

I love the concept pieces you've created for this comic series! Not only is the composition of this piece appropriate, it's also stunningly clever and well thought out! The eye is led exactly as you want it to be, and visual interest is strong throughout, with a good balance of perspective and detail. The syle is consistent, the colors well balanced, the whole piece is just great. Keep up the effort, and thanks for sharing your work with me!

VincentVyce responds:

Thank you for the feed back. I am very glad you like it.

while I dont want to give away too much before I get the comic series published I have two other stand alone illustrations which show off the other two main characters which I would like to share.

Cheers Jazza

Oh how considerate of you to add the skulls just for me! haha. I'm glad your pushing your boundaries, I'm sure you're leaning how hard color can be to work with, especially considering the ambition of your lighting! 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. Your piece holds its own fairly well in terms of its composition - the balance of where the viewers eye is drawn and how the piece is laid out is neat and compliments the image and style. The painting style you have going on here lacks solidity, the edges are somewhat unrefined, but inside and on the outer edges of the shapes/characters. Don't be afraid to have some hard edges and contrast where they're needed. Overall you're doing really well! Keep up the effort, and thanks for sharing your work with me!

After i did this piece a went hard at work to improve. Things are looking good again and i am half way through a piece that i am pretty happy with.

Nice work, your forms are strong but you hide them seemingly because you're not as confident as you should be. I can tell by your linework that you have a good sense of shape, don't bb shy! The linework is in need of improvement, nothing major, it just lacks solidity in areas and is a bit rough. 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. Otherwise, great job! Keep up the effort, and thanks for sharing your work with me!

[Half Life NEW]

Nice work! Good ol' Gordon ;) Your piece holds its own fairly well in terms of its composition - the balance of where the viewers eye is drawn and how the piece is laid out is neat and compliments the image and style. The colors are nice, I love a good strong gold hue, and the lack of saturation in the remainder of the piece works fairly well. Keep up the effort, and thanks for sharing it with me!

[Drawing based on Dan Scott Art]

Nice image, the pose is dynamic and the colors work well. The linework is in need of improvement, nothing major, it just lacks solidity in areas and is a bit rough. Your image composition works well, the lighting is well structured. 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. Keep up the effort, and thanks for sharing it with me!

[New Dante]

Nice work! The character is well proportioned and colored, and the image well balanced. The image lacks shading and depth, and would benefit with the addition of some kind of environment, that aside you've done well, keep it up!

dangmaster responds:
