JakBaronKing's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[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*

[Gurotan]

Looks like Jack and Sally had a baby.

Seriously! She looks like something from Tim Burton's Nightmare Before Christmas.

....Oil out from her eyes?

PixelCake responds:

LOLJAK I love you <33

yeah just some oily fluid
gotta keep your eyes moist

[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

[Red Baron]

Pretty sweet dude!

A traditional Manga-isk look for our infamous Red Baron.

The Red Baron's majestic cape!

His spiked helmet and armor pads.

But my only thing I was hoping for....

Was the Victorian Crest Cross on his cheek.

Bravo Dude!

redminus responds:

Aaaaaaaaaaand there it is! Though I'd thought it was perhaps a bit too small a detail to add at this scale, it seems to sit fine now. Thoughts?

[Portal Bot Posse]

Okay! I think I got this figured out.

P-Bot is inspired from VINCENT.
I-Bot is inspired from Johnny 5.
G-Bot is inspired from ELECTRO.
M-Bot is inspired from your own series of ALLOY.
And both F-Bot and A-Bot are Transformers inspirations (Soundwave & Arcee)

This is a pretty kick-ass group picture.

P=Portal
I=Image
G=Gold
M=Moderator
A=Audio
F=Flash

MindChamber responds:

nailed it, no wait, close! G-Bot is inspired from Rosie of the jetsons,

and as a whole the groups' shapes and colors were inspired by Mighty Orbots.

[Zombienaut]

Quite possibly the most badass Astronaught ever!

I can just picture a whole music video and a stop-motion animation using your idea and a rock-n-roll solo of a zombie astronaught.

TheShadling responds:

Haha right on man X)

[I-Bot]

Neat *Takes picture

The Goggle Eyes is one of the best ways for a robot to appear "shy and nervous".

Or in cases like Johnny 5, an eccentric robot pop cultured filled bookworm with a love for show-tunes.

He's like a little nervous museum curator.

HEY - Wouldn't it be funny if his neck stretched upward like a PEZ candy dispenser and a spray can of paint shoots out?

The whole cannon arm things has been done to death with almost all kinds of robots. Granted it IS almost traditional.

*I especially love the new group picture of all the robots. That deserves to be a poster.

MindChamber responds:

you're on the money with the Johnny 5 reference, infact P-Bot was inspired by Vincent from Blackhole, so I tried to follow that tradition and have each bot slightly reference a robot from the good ol days of film. (with the exception of M-Bot, hes referenced from Alloy)

[Portal Protectors]

Considering that I-Bot's character isn't known yet

This is a pretty good interpretation of an "ARTIST- BOT"

Though to avoid the concept of everything looking like a B-Rated anime knock off.

Having P-Bot look more heroic wasn't really necessary to the portrayal of his character.

Anyone for example, can draw ANY kind of mech and add a letter "P" on his breastplate and call it P-Bot.

Same could go for A-Bot.

The original interpretations are just fine and although the reinterpretation is "cool", I don't see them becoming replacements.

Cause come on, A-Bot looks like a big Boom Box, (though similar to Soundwave) still portrays his character well.

I just don't see the portrayal in P-Bot and A-Bot to be all that representative to what they do.

I dunno, it's just my opinion.

However I-Bots character has not been intrepreted even by the staff and his is a pretty good look.

The stylish backwards cap, the spray can cannon arm, almost as if a college art student was a robot.

Manuel-Dangelo responds:

My I-bot Reinterpretation is a design baced on a very litle tips MindChamber gived as feed back for my first "interpretation" of I-bot (you can check the original reinterpretation here -->http://www.newgrounds.com/art/view/manuel-dangelo/i-bot-rinterpretation <--). Mind chamber has already made an small sample of I bot on the art he shows at his last News post, the white robot on the left.

about A and P. I made them look as I feel they are, not as I think they should be and I don want my art to be a replacement of the original ones. you can call it a side view, interpretation or even fanArt (even if I dislike the term) but it's not just a any robot with the P or the A in the chest.

In general, the idea of a reinterpretation is to keep the basic structure or characteristec elements of the charapter and still give it the look of what you feel about them.

Thanks you very much for such a complete feed back and hope you to like my onther Reinterpretations as I'm working on the whole Bot-Crew.
