JakBaronKing's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[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

[MORE BARON!!!]

Yes! Color it

I would suggest using a balance of Red and Black.

Make sure the background isn't too distracting.

And focus on the highlighting of his armor.

*(man I didn't even have to ask. Thanks bro. This is an awesome piece of art)

Fifty-50 responds:

Welcome, i very happy I made you happy.

[If Futurama was bought by CN]

Oddly enough, I think the show would still rock.

It's not so much the animation design. It's the writing.

And I heard Futurama is going to have an episode where the shortened episode of "Rebirth" will be shown again in a different animated style 3 times.

I wonder if you inspired that upcoming episode....

TmsT responds:

That sounds interesting and strange.
Probably not just me - there are many stylistic reinterpretations of Futurama out there.

[THE Red Knight]

My character of choice!

The Red Knight has f**kin' ELECTRIC POWAS!

This realistic approach to CCrashers makes me inspired to make a comic book.

I love the dark and murky colors. It makes it seem more.....medieval.

dommi-fresh responds:

thanks mate you should do a comic.

[Chrysanthemum Ink]

Now this is an impressive use of Drop-Back pattern

It's very pretty.

You definitely got this Vector Based Artwork down.

Though I wonder if a background would be a compliment to this piece.

I would love to see more compositions from you.

Almost suited for art as a Calendar or Poster.

PixelCake responds:

I wouldn't know what to add for a background :) it was just an example I quickly barfed up for my art auction XD I really wanna fix the missing black hems and her fat arm :(
thank you ^^

[gragas the beerserker]

ZOMG!

SO FAT XD

Now this guy loves his booze. Great art direction - I feel he's really charging at me.

Which game is this? League of Legends? Never heard of it.
*(AH it's a World of Warcraft inspired game)

I hope he's wearing a lyon cloth at least.

jouste responds:

haha yeah he is wearing a loincloth, but the gut just flops over it anyways. i'm glad you got htat sense of movement from the image.

and yeah league of legends is based off of a warcraft 3 mod called "defense of the ancients" or DOTA if i am not mistaken.

thanks for stopping by with the review and high score! always good to hear from the baron king! XD

*highfives*

[red baron vs EVERYBODY]

I had a vision, a mental composition of greatness!

And only you could bring it to life!

Great Job Jouste!

Super Mega Ultra High Five of DOOM!!!!

Baron's kinda a chubby champion no? Why so?

Almost like a dwarf.

It's interesting cause I've asked about 5 different artists to draw Red Baron *(each one spectacular and awesome).

But your style almost seems MOST appropriate to be an NG icon. Sure Baron could look dashing, deadly, or stoic.

But Jouste, your style seems to capture the Newgrounds' art motif at it's CORE.

You should SERIOUSLY consider working on a few projects with Tom Fulp as his video game character designer.

The revision of each NG icon is vividly expressed through your awesome art style.

My favorite designs are of Tank Man, Hank, and Pico.

Gee....I wonder who's gonna win?

In the next version of NG Rumble, I hope a stage is based around this picture.

jouste responds:

this was a really awesome idea dude. thanks so much for the commission to get it done!

and i tend to draw chubbier dudes when they are decked out in sick armor cause they'd need to be pretty hefty to carry that stuff around all the time.

i shall try to get more involved in making games more, i just feel i still need a lot of practice. thanks so much for your kind words.

*mega-super highfives*

[Dinosaurs From Outer Space!]

Quite possibly the coolest idea EVER!!!

If this was an actual B-Movie I would TOTALLY watch it.

Perhaps the second challenge after the contest is for the winner to try and MAKE the movie for an additional grand prize!

2nd to 5th place winners could try their luck the the grand prize too.

It'll just make it all the more encouragement to pass judgement of this contest and therefore have more submissions!

TurkeyOnAStick responds:

Thanks JBK.

Yeah I agree; to be fair I'm sure all the submissions have potential to be made in a Flash, be it a 10 second short or full-on epic.

[Gufi]

OH God ~ Ever heard of the phrase....Poke Squid?

Where squids teeth usually are is where her....

Wow...Now I realize how risque "The Little Mermaid" actually was.

Still, how you got inspired from that image is beyond my understanding.

But she is still kinda hot, the pink nipples add that extra flare of sensuality.

PixelCake responds:

It was mostly the bright colors XD haha
thank you
