JakBaronKing's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Finished sketches]

Nice! Teenage Astroboy!

They really should update the series. But it would be odd seeing a half-naked robot shooting machine-guns from his but.

Dude, you really draw allot like the styles from the new comic series "Invincible". Did you read it? it's worth checking out.

You capture anatomy perfectly for the comic book world! And I love how you use a distinct anime looks to distinguish asian oriented characters.

Get these characters in full view. That means you draw them in more details in a 360 motion along with a few action poses.

beastkid7 responds:

Yeah dude, I've come to the conclusion that since Art is the only thing I'm really good at ...I have to become beast at it! Theres SOMANY good artist out there. must ....practice.

Thanx man, I prolly wont do much with these characters. I'll full view characters I'm going to put in s project.

[Deals of School]

I thought weed was legal in your country.

Unless that...NOT weed.

The perspective is odd and distorted as intended. It does seem to capture the darker realms of society in the suburbs. It presents a scenic composition with good use of colors.

But once again Shad, your hands still could use some work. They always look funky sometimes.

TheShadling responds:

Weed isnt legal in switzerland, not yet.
I guess I should spend more time on making hands look better.
Thanks for the review Jak.

[Commission: Red Baron]

Street Fighter's got some new fists of fury!

Although the cape looks just a "bit" out of place because of it's blur, some might argue that is compliments a balance of precise details and lucid movement.

This is some hot stuff man! It looks awesome!

[Lost at Sea, or something.]

Reminds me of something I saw in Europe

Why do English pubs always feature these drab paintings? Not to say your is that drab but it does pose a nice transition from the darkness/lightness theme.

Like in a "Sea of hopelessness - there exists a small glimmer of light" sorta theme. It's sort of a means to encourage old salts to tell their tall tales.

Was your grandfather an expert fisherman? Was this based on an actual expierence?

It's a bit small, even if I click it. Mind re-uploading a larger version so that I may see the details? Cause I'm sure you worked hard on this.

kiiryu responds:

My grandfather wasn't ever an expert fisherman, but he's always enjoyed reading books about sailing and exploration, and he's done quite a lot of traveling himself.

Anyhow, I didn't use any reference for this, but it seems like there are quite a few paintings of ships at sea with this kind of setup, so it was the first thing that came to mind. I'm not sure if it's because of the theme itself, or just because this kind of effect is pretty easy to do.

As for the size, unfortunately that's the full image. I didn't have much time to do this. (only about 3 hours)

Thanks for the review.

[Vampire Christmas]

Are vampires always this cute?

Cause if they are then I'm switching sides? XD ha

Nah I'm still a big werewolf fan. What would werewolf chicks look like?

My only grip is the seemingly odd perspective as to where the character is placed. Doesn't it seem like she's wedged against the wall?

[GI POE]

I GET IT!

You've just added face slap to all Zelda and GIJoe fans everywhere!

Brakkenimation responds:

Heehee, indeed.

[Wallpaper for NGhty folk.]

This missy needs a mistletoe hanging from her ass!

Nah - that would be too "naughty" for this year :3

I could go further with a candy cane idea but I think I've said too much.

Your sexy pictures are always a "sweet-treat" to the eyes.

Happy Holidays!

BizarroJoe responds:

Heey, have you seen Snakejohnson's take on the subject?
If you want to see elf+candy cane action, I suggest you to keep an eye on the Flash Portal today... JUST IN CASE.
Oh, is that the Xmas Pun Parade coming again for another round...? HOORAY!
Happy holidays to you, too, Jak! I'm already thinking on the New Year's Eve!

[KRINGLE!!!]

lawl - I just saw this on TV

I can't believe they made SO many episodes using the same puppets.

Granted they were no Henry Selick, they paved for some of the future stop-motion animations to come.

It's a nice littler tribute.

[Jak and Pals]

Nice! It's good to see some Jak fan art

I like how you gave them a realistic anatomical look.

[Alt Concept: Guile]

I'm guessing the mom is Chung-Li

I can just imagine some punk trying to kill Guile. He probably has his baby holster made of an inch layer of titanium and kevlar.

He ducks and throws the baby up in the air while Chung-Li catches him and runs to safety and Guile puts the beat-down on the muggers.

Guile is now over 40 but still kicks ass!

*For those of you who don't know, Chung-Li and Guile share a bit of chemistry in some of the older movies.
