JakBaronKing's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Gods Among Us Sample Page]

Their's nothing wrong with photoshoping photos

In fact, it adds a nice appeal so as to contract the realistic vs the cartoons.

I would do this more often. But remember to heavily mark up background so that they are not recognized.

If you get your images from Google, might I suggest investing one day in a Camera.

But what really helps is the ability to distort images. By mirror reversal and smudging effects.

d-z responds:

Great so it didn't work, you still noticed. I guess i should really use the camera and shoot my own backgrounds. and trace them too. Thanks for your time.

[Snow Blossom]

PPG fan art!

Perfect for the holiday season. Her freeze power was just randomly thrown in their but it served it's purpose for the series.

Beautiful use of pattern, colors, and detail.

This must've taken a while.

PixelCake responds:

eeeeeeeh 4 hours at the most
thank you :) happy holidays Jak

[Red Baron vs Castle Crashers]

Only you could bring this to life bro

The idea I had was a realistic setting with the humorous subtleties in the mix.

Well...mainly the two, the popcorn and the deer. It's mostly for geeking out.

I love you man <3 I really do!

[Ring Ma'am 2]

Compared to the original it's far different

If it's Megaman's Ring Man, then of course she needs rings. But I see your point, she doesn't look anything like a Megaman boss character.

Then again...it seems like Megaman creators takes too strongly on the approach of their strong anime look. Granted it's from Japan, but I kinda miss the American versions of the show.

If Capcom is willing to branch out on newer art designs, I'm hoping they take on either your character looks for a Warner Bros happier approach. Or that old Flash "Rock Man Neo" for a twisted Jhonen Vasquez look.

Allot of your artwork reminds me strongly of Looney Toons movement but with the small hint of anime-isk anatomy and shapes. As some people would say, that shows the eye' of an animator.

If you can fart stuff like this in only 7 minutes...you can probably fart out an entire TV season in just one hour. Have you applied for any major animation studios yet or do you intend to go indi and collab with someone from Newgrounds and expand on you own?

Egoraptor responds:

dang what a comment

thanks for the kindness bro, my aim isn't really to join a studio and animate a mess for a bunch of dudes in suits, I like the freedom that being a freelance affords me.

Right now I'm just working on my list of projects one by one. One step at a time and I'll surely be at something worth a godamn. Dunno how big on the awesome cartoons or girlchan you are but I'm hammering on those for a while as I improve to tackle something a bit less topical. But that'll be a while from now, I think. I really am bad at predicting my own future which is probably why I'm a freelance artist to begin with.

that's real cool of you to say that stuff about the movement and everything, I like to think the way I draw is equally influenced by east and west and it applies what I love about both.

[B-Boy]

Man...if only it didn't look so much like others..

Have you ever heard of the phrase....every idea's been done before?

Not to diss your art, but MAN oh MAN. I keep thinking...

"Bumble-Bee" Teen Titans, or "FireFly" Batman, or "Wasp" Avengers.

Well....I guess there's no harm in expanding a good idea.

I do like the hoodie idea though.

beastkid7 responds:

Funny you should say that cause the whole idea came from the hoodie.

"FireFly"? ...from Batman? I don't know what your talking about. *looks everywhere but you*

jk, No, it wasn't on purpose but I do remember really liking the character design of The Batmans FireFly.

[RED BARON!]

This is like a Perfect Comic book version of RB

It's dynamic and colorful.

Full of bold lines and just the right amount of shading to balance it.

I'm calling Cartoon Network and asking for Red Baron to be green-lighted!

beastkid7 responds:

uh oh, Mr. Connections ova hya! Wouldn't that be awesome though. I seriously think people would love it.

It'd be animated like a serious show but Red Baron would be strong willed, know it all Bad-ass. Sorta like the Tick or duck dodgers. lol But Red Baron would prolly be more anti hero tho.

[SAButops - Pokemon December]

So the pokemon you best relate to is a Kabutops?

Really?

Is it because you have brown hair?

If you give any animal pretty eyes and tits and it'll look like furry porn! XD Just kidding. But you know what I'm talking about.

This could be an interesting Flash idea. A collection of Flash artists depicting themselves as Pokemon. As if they went through that Pokemon changer machine or that fail mini-series about Pokemon Dungeons.

For myself....I always loved Electric types, but I always imaged myself relating most to an Abra. I love to think I have high perception whenever I sleep.

Sabtastic responds:

Hah! Yeah! To be honest, I've always had a soft spot for Pokemon with sickles for arms. lol Scyther is one of my favourites, too! There's really no relation to my personal appearance, maybe besides the 'brunette' part, so for that reason, I felt the need to add boobs in, too. lmao

Is it bad that I think you would suit Hariyama? lol It's such a stereotyped Hawaiian Pokemon. No offense, I hope!!

Otherwise,

ShedinJACK, NinJACK! HOLY CRAP!! :D

[Phelgrum and Cauldronis!]

I...have no words to describe how cool this looks

My mouth was literally gaped open when I saw this.

*That soup monster looks tasty. Split Pea?

jouste responds:

haha!

yeah i'm sure there is some split pea in there along with all the other horrific ingredients. some far scarier than mere peas!

thanks for the comment jak! always good to hear from you!

*highfives*

[Happy Thaksgeving]

R U kiddin' me?

That's what you get for drawing something awesome!!?

AN F!!!

Man why do teachers have to be such dicks or bitches!

Coming from the perspective of a child and their understanding of what Thanksgiving was about, as well as the darker moments of history learned. Then this art piece would seem totally appropriate.

And to think how your fragile ego must've felt when you got that F.

The nerve of some teachers on a child.

[seashore]

Photoshop or picture scan?

Cause if this was done by hand on paper that's mighty impressive.

cristianemi responds:

this was done with pencil on paper only the colouring was done on the computer
