Jazza's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[The graveyard Guardiens]

What an astounding image! Really! I'm so glad you're uploading to newgrounds because we need content of your quality. This is just fantastic. Your understanding of atmosphere, aesthetic, color and linework, shape and solidity, everything is just impressive and beautiful. Fantastic work, keep it up!

[Creepy Things]

A clever picture! Great use of sharing, the forms are solid and their expressions are funny and strong. Keep up the good work!

[Moon and Sun]

Overall a pretty simple piece, it feels a bit lacking, but you're a beginner and you'll learn in the course of time, and more instinctively, how to make your paintings interesting. Try and work with good contrasts and shade, focus on maintaining overall perspective and proportion while also taking care of the details. Keep trying!

[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!

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

[Blog BD]

Very good use of linework! that alone is extremely slick and impressive. The shapes and expression are also very good, with strong colors and an interesting composition. Good job!

[A distant land]

Hey buddy, this is nice, good layout and all, I will ask kindly that you send a maximum of one picture per week for me to review though since it's difficult to keep up with them all, especially when you send me several a week. Draw and submit as many as often as you want, but please keep showcase submissions to one a week. otherwise, keep it up! You're improving!

[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

[Zephy]

Fantastic use of line and color, the composition is ambitious and clever but a little poorly executed, mainly in the sense that her lower proportions look off rather than foreshortened. Otherwise you've done very well, and I commend you for trying something different and difficult. Keep it up!
