JakBaronKing's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Heaven`s Judge]

This is a definite example of true talent...

That once you master something, such as Photoshop, Even something as short of time as 8 hours can produce a masterpiece!

Something like this would probably take me a whole year to do by hand.
(Using actual paints and stuff)

So it's kinda an "Awe" and and "Ah" for the point of view of artist.

For one...Mastering Photoshop isn't easy.

On another...Photoshop kinda depreciates the value of fine art that originally took months to do by canvas.

For example: No one really does oil-paintings anymore. Art like that could look just as spectacular as this...but would take months to make.

Photoshop and Technology in general could very well make a picture like this done worth less unless it was done using actual oil paints.

Although I suppose that in the prime example of perspective, one can see that this artist from Indonesia has taken the possibilities of Photoshop to an almost unattainable level of talent.

It's Good...because you use Photoshop to it's full potential in such short time invested.

[The Seven Days of Fire]

Woah ~ Now that's scary

I wonder who this Rock Band is?

It sure has that Miyazaki inspiration....though a bit on the dark side might I add.

It is quite dark! But amazingly good!

redminus responds:

HEY JAK!
Thanks for the review, I should have some lighter stuff coming along soon too, heh

[Kaya and her crazy dino]

Perfect children's book art

You should make a children's book.

They do sell........

Cha-Ching.

Koel-Art responds:

I'd really like to! But first I need a writer ;) So if anyone is interested..let me know

[Hailorca Basic Infantry]

It looks like a Mindchamber Robot

before it becomes damaged.

See MC's work.

Don't forget you should include back view and angled views of a character in profiling.

It also looks more professional if you include a few Zoom in areas of finer details.

Rhunyc responds:

Mmm, it was a subconscious inspiration I'm thinking. xD Cuz after you mention that, I realize it does resemble something of his nature.

But, thank you for the advice, I will keep that in mind for future concept drawings! :D

[Steampunk Halloween]

Cooooooooooooooooooooooooool

Now that's a Frakenstin's monster!

I would love to see this as a boss in some halloween theme beat-em-up game.

He'll hobble and can up-chuck candy corn.

Excellent Work!

[Glass Tree in the Sky]

Viewtiful!

You should do more of SBB songs.

[The Savior]

I like both interpretations - however...

Isn't the whole point of the 'Madness' series to have 'no point at all?'

I mean...after all...that's what makes it kinda distinctive as a movie series.

Judging by your author's comments - I'm guessing your going to advance the plot with a distopian theme. The crosses on the face will have some major significance of either religious suppression, or government totalitarianism. Kinda like that whole Christian thing about the 'mark of the beast'.

But I'm just guessing and I'm sure you'll want to keep that all a secret until the big unveiling.

Still - I kinda like how the direction of how Mindchamber and Tom Fulp interpretations the 'Madness' series as a video-game with no real purpose or plot to the story. Just action and obscure humor.

However - you must have a very 'intense' story to create to have the permission from Krinkles.

After all - this is 'another take' on the Madness series.

But I predict there will be arguments about which one is more preferred.

Truth be told from me - I look forward to the development of either.

------

On a side note.

Is it too stereotypical of me to think that 'Dwayne Johnson' would make a great henchmen. Not the minor ones...

that BIG dude!

The one with the Spikes in his head?

AlmightyHans responds:

no i'm not going to make the cross on the face a religious thing.

I do like the loose insanity madness has, i want to preserve that. the only things i'm altering to have a 'structured story' are things like making this version a revenge plot. climbing the ladder of bosses that this 'cross gang' consist of. Basically, what i mean by adding a story. is coming up with a way to revisit, and create great moments in the very established madness universe, and tie together all its elements in a way it could not 'make sense' but more, work well together in a single story line.

essentially, I always thought the madness world had a lot of elements we all love in action movies, and new ideas and a unique mixture of those. I always thought madness needs a place in the world of action flicks, I'm just trying to see what it would look like if a madness movie existed. doing justice to it's core.

wow. that was too long of a response.

[Megatron (HOC) Version]

So this version of Megatron turns into a Turret?

That actually would make more sense!

I always wondered why he turned into a 'gun' in the old 80's version. It was probably a marketing ploy vs the analogy of how devastating his power is by turning into 'just a weapon.'

I would love to see his transformed mode on another submission.

MindChamber responds:

he turned into a gun because he wasn't part of the same line. there were different lines of diaclones, he came from the real world line.. Gun, cassette tape player, microscope etc..

When they merged the lines for the American release (Transformers) they worked with what they had when making the story,

[Batgirl]

Bat Girl with a Camel Toe apparently

I always wondered why the old time super-heroes always wore skin-tight clothes.

But the old-school Bat-Girl from the old "Adam-West" times - she actually wore a skirt.

This is the 90's DC version if I'm not mistaken but kept the short cape.

It's pretty.

Not so much sexual or obscene. But nice - someone will crack a joke about her pelvis area.

[ULTRA DEMON CANNIBAL FORCE]

Cool - Very Cool

This is the potential of Photoshop! I got to get me a better computer than my crappy one.

It's artist like you that inspire me to want to draw something better!
Which is kinda redundant considering I need to get better with a simple pen and paper first.

What gave you the inspiration to draw something so cool?
Probably because it's so close to Halloween isn't it?

I love how the NG characters are monsters!

Do I see the Victorian Crest of Honor (Aka: Red Baron symbol) on P-Bot?
