Haggard's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Dark Cavern]

There's a light at the end of the tunnel

The light effect on the door is very nice, but it's too bad that there's this frame around the picture that doesn't really belong there. It destroys the nice effect of the picture, in my opinion.

Fro responds:

Yeah, I might trim it, but this stuff is out of the art portal and art really isn't my thing so it's going to be fine the way it is I think.

[Colourful Joy]

Good

I've seen pictures in the art portal that have to be viewed in full size, or else their effect is very limited. On this piece it is different. If viewed in full size one can see all the details, but the picture itself is lost, which is a pity.

The colours are chosen very well here and the red apears to be very vivid. Also the contrast of the bright red and the darker colours of the "leaves" (the shapes look like leaves so I call them leaves) is very intense and gives the picture a very nice atmosphere.

[Candle of Life]

Nice colours

That's why I don't like abstract art, I can never see what the artist intended to show me. -.-

However, the colours are pretty nice, but like Insanimation said, it's too divided. When viewed in full size it's almost as if there was a straight line dividing the top from the bottom half. I think the picture would work better if the areas where more "mixed up".

[aging up]

Too sketchy

This looks too sketchy. The idea behind this is pretyy good, but the facial expressions are hard to make out and especially the face on the far left doesn't look too good.

I think you used a too thick brush here. Try using a smaller tool and zoom in. This gives you better control about what you're doing.

Even the text in the picture is hard to read. It's better to write texts with a text tool and then choosing a font that looks like handwriting than to write text with a pencil or a brush tool.

ok thanks

[Shark]

Good

The drawing is very good, the shark looks very realistic. Also the lightning in this picture is done very well.

However, I'm missing some more details in here. The fishes in the lower right corner are a nice start, but I'd expect a lot more things to go on here. A bit sea weed on the ground, more fishes, some swimming right next to the shark (like you can always see in those documentaries), etc. .

Thanks for the suggestions, I'll definitely add some details beyond the main focus of the drawing in future drawings

[Modern Day Man]

Good message, but needs more details

I like the message you have in this picture, but the picture itself needs a lot more details.

First of all, the propotions of the body don't really fit. The arms are a bit too short (they should be down to where the hips end and the highs begin), the hips are too thin and the legs are also a bit too thin, imo.

It would be nice if that person had some genitals, but maybe that's part of the message as well: The modern man doesn't need any genitals as he doesn't reproduce himself on the "normal" way anymore.

Fingers would be nice to have as well. Or how should the modern man type on his keyboard?

Also, the background is a bit too bland. Just grey in grey, I think a street with more modern people and maybe a few "oldschool people" as well would give the image and the message a little extra kick.

[Wind-Tanken face]

Doesn't work for me

At first I thought: "Nice colors", then I watched this in full size, but couldn't make anything out. Too bad.

Then I read your description and can now understand your intensions. And yes, I think I can see the nose now. ;)

But it still doesn't really work for me. I mean, I still like the colors and it's nice to look at the picture, but I'm missing the "wow" moment here. :)

TiberiumCrystalKutu responds:

Hmm. You are very right.

[The Beast:Final Cut]

Very good

Wow, this is amazing. The colors in this pic are just about right, the red fire in the background, how it lights up the spikes on the creatures back, then we have some cooler green in the foreground... just the eyes of the beast should be a slightly darker red, imo.

The details are amazing as well. It looks as if the beast is coming towards me... good that this is only a picture. :D

[Black gold sculptue]

Nice

This only works when viewed in full size. Watching this scaled down doesn't give me much, but when I clicked "View Full Size" I could see this picture in it's full beauty. ;)

The details are very amazing on the sculpture. I also like that I sometimes think: "Ah, it resembles an animal!" then a second later "oh, no it doesn't"... then again a few seconds later I see something different in it, then again I don't see it and so on... :D

However, I think the sculpture should be more in the center of the image, not like cut off on the left side.

Good work!

TiberiumCrystalKutu responds:

Hmmm. I see. Thanks. This is an awesome review.

[Tricky the clown]

Good sketch

It's a very good sketch. Many details and very clear outlines. Only Hank looks a bit "unclean", but I think this is because of his clothing.

I would like to see this with colors added, it would give the pic this little extra kick it needs to get a 10 from me. ;)
