Jazza's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Death]

Your vector lines are very clean! Try exporting to a little lower resolution so it doesnt look so jagged in the zoomed out view. I'd love to see more shading overall as the image tends to feel a bit flat at the moment, but for someone who's new to photoshop as you told me in your PM, it looks like your getting a strong grasp of the basics! Keep it up!

[Kida]

This is great. In this and your other works its pretty clear you have a great understanding of shape, and how light wraps around 3 dimensional forms. Not a lot of people exhibit that very easily, so that's a strong asset in your favor. I want to see what you do with color! I imagine your shading style would be very complimented by rich colors blending in light and shade to convey shape. And good choice of subject too, I think Atlantis is one of the most underrated cartoon movies. That and treasure planet. Awesome work, keep it up!

RichardLawrence responds:

First of all, thank you so much for what you said about my work. I think you are one bloody good illustrator, it's amazing how yoir work is that good, and you are a great inspiration as well. I don't use alot of colour because...i don't feel that confortable (kat von D style) But some times I try and I use colour while pating fields and objects, but with human parts...it looks better in black in white...i think. But know i'll obviously try and posted. Also...what do you think about the other ones?

Very impressive! I love how you did the details, like the texture of the lips and hair, the stroked along the shirt and the glasses frames. Its clear you had a reference to do something this detailed, but your executions is fantastic. You really have to zoom in to get the full appreciation of it. awesome work!

[Mouse]

Love this! Very imaginative, with great use of color and framing. There are a few issues with some of the facial features of the child, lips are a little thin and the eyes could be wider, but overall this is very strong. The colors and painting style are well executed, and the textures on the mous and his weapons are lovely. Great work!

[Capture the chaos emerald!]

Your use of shadow and light in an extreme way is very well done! I like he's expression too. And let's not forget those fancy swirly effects around the gem, this is good work! Keep it up :)

DarkTheSkull responds:

wy thnx alot :D i hope u can put it on ur next video on youtube :)

[Our Pianist]

Did you trace this? There's a lot of detail here, as with the other images you sent me. Your use of linework, shadow and reflection are pretty good here, I'd love to see some texture in the hair and variety in the background but overall you've done good work here! Keep it up :)

CrazyCreators responds:

Thank you for your kind review :)

[Original Characters: Pommy]

I like this, I'm not sure why but it reminds me of the kind of cartoons I used to watch early in the mornings as a kid. The colors came through well, seeing as I assume you did this on paper and scanned it on? Anyhow, nice character design, appealing and simple, keep it up!

TheCartooningMaster responds:

Thanks so much! I'm really glad you like it!
And yeah, I did scan it.

[Faun]

Nice work, I like your colors and pose, the character is quite strong. You could do with adding some detail to the background and work on the anatomy a bit but overall this is nice :) Something I always try and keep in mind when having a sun in a picture is to have it somewhere between really bright yellow and white, it makes it look much brighter. Good work :)

[Forever Rememberedd]

gorgeous picture man, and a touching memorial. Very well made and I LOVE the color tones.
