JakBaronKing's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[SIB1 - Skipping]

An artist is free...

often free of his own self-awareness. His imagination emulates through his personality.

Those with no imagination are occupied with logic.

It's not that one is better than the other. Just different.

But only those with logic seem to care.

Albert Einstein once said - that imagination is more important than information.

And it's a good thing your brother is the sane one other wise your bond of electrons won't go together so well.

Your like Abbot and Coestelllo, Loral and Hardy, Plus and Minus.

It's the very concept of where opposites work so well together in a comic.

...

Man...I'm just full of shit aren't i.

Time to skip myself!

XD

Bobert-Rob responds:

Hah, yeah, I definitely enjoy doing these. Sometimes it's as effortless as Rob skipping and Johny being abhorred by it, heh. Good times though, I'm glad you enjoyed it!

[the red knight!]

Red Knight's ma favorite.

What can I say...I love lightning, and Red.

It' like...harmony to me.

jouste responds:

sweet!

i always like hearing who's people's favorites are. mine still is and will always be the barbarian :D

*highfives*

[BoMToons' chibiknight!]

You know dude, you seem to be on top of everything

I'm surprised you didn't make a M-Bot tribute art.

Cause you are on top with everything else! I mean...Shit. For example, no sooner than the same day when Dan revealed his trailer for Battle Block Theatre did you get front page for tribute art of a game you never even played yet!

I mean..I'll admit it seems kinda 'suck-up-ish' but damn...if your art is just so damn good!

I'm surprised that you haven't announced your acceptance into the character design for upcoming video games.

Because dude, I've always liked your style of art to the point where I am jealous! Cause I can only wish I had talent like yours.

The dynamic poses to your talents with colors matches perfectly.

And you know how to capture just the epiphany of the game Chibi Knight with your own unique style of bad-assery.

I'm so impressed with your style of art...that...if there was a hall of fame on Newgrounds Art Portal for only the top ten artists of all time...you would definitely be in there.

This art is a reminder that everything you do is like going to the movies at full price and seeing something amazing!

jouste responds:

haha, i'm a little confused. is there something stopping artists from drawing fan art for an established company like behemoth>? i'm confident that the game will be great so i drew up something to vent out my excitement.

i wish i could announce something abut getting into games but it seems really hard to get into at the moment. new content and stuff that isn't photo real just doesn't get companies excited i guess. thanks for likeing the poses, i practise drawing poses quite a bit so they stay fresh. i've noticed that some are looking pretty similar though and i've been called on it before so hopefully i smarten up ;D

thanks a lot for the long and insiteful review though. i really appreciate someone who takes that time to show how he feels in that detail. :D

[Viva La Twitterskin]

BUNNIES <3

If there is one thing I love more, is a cute girl in a bunny suit!

But is there any way the audience will remember that this is indeed the same tank-girl you made for twitter?

I think that as pure as this illustration goes, I'm not sure if it expresses a newgrounds' themed valentines.

After all, Bunny Girls are more associated with Casinos. Not Valentines.

Couse I could be a little bitch and complain about the little things, but fuck it.

I'm giving you a 10.

Cuz Bunny Girls on Valentines Day = the best day ever!

PixelCake responds:

It's not Tank Woman.
This is just my OC.

Bunny girls are appropriate for everything. I think of NG like the Playboy mansion of art sites.

[Hank Is Hacking]

a bit sloppy...

well....this is just a sketch.

But Hank is better suited with a Chain-Saw in one hand and a Desert Eagle in another.

And a large number of the henchmen need to wear suits. These look like terrorists. And if I'm correct, Hank acts as a sorta rebellious criminal vigilante in the dismal society of the madness universe.

PS: What's your interpretation of Monster Hank? Got an idea yet?

AlmightyHans responds:

im trying to avoid the suits, its too much like matrix. i like the idea of having each guy look a bit different a bit more rugged. like a rag tag team of criminals with diffrent purposes

[Babies Hate Ugly People]

Quite Good!

I dare say you could tackle your local Newspaper.

This is a genuinely charming comic strip.

I'm serious! I would love to read your comic strips on a daily basis of black and white and a colored page for sundays.

And the name of your strip could be something catchy - like - "The Sab-Sisters"

Sabtastic responds:

lol aww well thanks! :D
It's funny you say that, because I had a second idea about Mel's creepy art ESP, but I thought it would be overkill to do two 'sab sisters' comics in one week. o:

I appreciate the encouragement, though!
Thanks again!! c:

[Bowser]

wat if Bowser had a gun?

Then Mario is pretty much "fucked!"

Great comedic essence in your art as always.

Gonzossm responds:

that D.E. is filled with Bullet bill rounds. Get the mario reference :B... fail XD

[Attack Mode]

Neat and perfectly matched with M-Bot's character.

But I think he needs ears. Sonar Ears that are pricked like a bad-ass Doberman.

Cause right now he kinda looks like a mutated hump-backed crocodile.

If he had those ears, the K-9 unite look would be instant connection to the viewer.

His chin could have slit holes that act as a dog's nose. He'll be able to pick up scent as well, trace amounts of oil and skin that have the DNA of his next victims.

Almost as if he would look better if his head was upside down, so the chin becomes his nose and gives the defining features of a dog's snout. And the ears would flip up.

The arched on his back is good because he could also be a rescue unite, carrying pedestrians and wounded away from a crossfire. It can also double as a saddle seat for riders such as Pico.

And just for kicks...why not have the ability to shit grenades/landmines?
(Okami reference - exploding poop)

I would love to see M-Bot's animated transformation like you did with the tank.

Idea - you should make a postcard featuring all the Bots. Including G-Bot, F-Bot, and your version of Angry Faic Bot.

MindChamber responds:

Ill try the ears, as long as it doesnt look too silly , I like the vents idea for the nose though, thats cool. Funny you mentioned crocodile. his k9 mode was orginally inspired from a nasty crocodile clip I seen on the web.. So i kept the croc face but made him fit more into another animal, a boar , but people wouldn't make the connection (Boar=pig, pig the slang term for cop) K-9 unit works much better.
Ill give the ears a shot. oh and i do plan on making a group shot of all the bots for our next poster. yay.

[NG Level 43]

...Shadow of the Collosus?

LOL being controlled by a sexy girl.

To be perfectly honest though, just her by herself would've been fine.

The monster kinda detracts from the main focus of the collab.

redminus responds:

Thanks!
And yeah, I'm one for overkill, I must admit....

[demon girl]

HIM's sister...

Gotta be PPG inspired.

Looks awesome!

Too bad Halloween isn't celebrated on Christmas and Christmas isn't celebrated on Halloween.

Great art as always!

PixelCake responds:

Nightmare before Christmas covers everything ;)
it's my Roliana avatar, I just combined the Items I liked :D
