Haggard's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[The Sole Owner of Wings]

Nice one

This looks very nice and as if it was a picture taken with a camera.

The colors are pretty nice and even though it is mostly orange I don't think that there are colors missing here. In fact I think because it is mostly one color it is very nice to look at.
The shadings are done just perfect, the shadows are all in the right place and the arc seems to stand out a bit. Very nice.

As others have stated, the head looks a bit odd but I can't really put my finger on it why it does look strange. Maybe it's the "nose" that doesn't really fit here.
Also I don't like that the picture is sort of cut at the edges. The legs and paws of the gryphon are cut off, which doesn't look that good, in my opinion.

KrevZabijak responds:

Thank you! I really enjoyed doing this contrast/shadow type study. I'm glad the arch was successful in casting the shadows I wanted, thank you very much for commenting on that- was worried about it.
Yeah, once again, the head... I had a short time to gather resource material and they all had a blank head, but the bodies were filled in nicely.. so.. I just used my imagination, except for the beak, which if you look at other images, their beaks are formed like that, a downturn at the tip, like some hawks. The hook at the bottom of the downturn is also commonplace in gryphon heads.

I cut it at the edges because I totally lost my mind at the paws. It came out looking like just another pair of decorative floral swirls, so I decided to showcase what I was successful at. :D

Thank you very much, again, for your review, Haggard! Muchly appreciated.

[The never-ending secret]

Nice

At first I thought "what's this supposed to be?", but when I read your comment I understood your intention with this picture and I have to say I really like it.

The grass looks very realistic. You managed to get the colors and shadings almost perfect here, good work on that one.

The "strange thing" looks threatening and calming at the same time. When I look at this pic in small size, it looks as if a hughe "thing" hides there waiting for me to come closer.
When I look at the pic in full size, all the lights have a very calming effect. They look almost like glowworms.

Thanks for understanding that. This was exactly my inspiration. Thanks for that review. I really appreciate that.

[Space Core]

The planet looks good

The planet looks really great, even though there are those green and yellow "dots" here and there where a blue color would fit better, but overall it's a good looking planet.

The stars don't look that good in my opinion. I think they should "twinkle" a bit more.

When I try to create space art. I always have problems with the stars. Anyway, thanks for that review.

[Joyful Chaos]

The green is too bright

Personally I think the green is too bright here. It hurts the eyes a bit if I look for too at this picture.

Also, there are sometimes some blue and green colors "in" the red colors which don't look too good in my opinion.

But on the other hand the title of the picture is right. It looks joyful because of the very bright colors, plus it is a chaos with no clear structure visible.

TiberiumCrystalKutu responds:

Well, to make it exactly a chaos, I had to choose something that makes you want to turn your sight in another colour, and yet feel dizzy, so what is better for this job from a bright green(although it is a bit too bright). Thanks for that advice.

[The Eye]

Best one so far

Out of the three piecec I reviewed today this is the best one so far. I like the colors here a lot. While the other two (Black desert and Boilogical Catastrophe) had pretty dark ones, this picture is very bright and offers a nice scale of different colors.
But even more important, the colors fit pretty well together and I like how they appear just everywhere and nowhere on the sreen (if that makes sense ^^). It's kinda like a storm going on and all the colors - once perfectly ordered - are now a hughe mess, circling around the eye of the storm.

But again, the picture loses a tiny bit of it's impression because I have to scroll left and right to see the whole pic. Time for a double monitor setup, I guess. :P

HeavyTank responds:

Hehe, a double monitor might do the trick here...

[Biological Catastrophe]

I'm feeling watched...

As if a million eyes are staring at me from the dark...

That's what I felt when viewing the picture in full size.
The colours here are very psychadelic, as if I was on an acid trip (at least that's what I think an acid trip is like; I don't do drugs ^^).

Too bad my screen isn't big enough to view this picture without scrolling. I think the pic loses a bit of it's impression now that I have to scroll back and forth to see everything of the pic.

HeavyTank responds:

Don't worry, there is no screen big enough to fit this image on full size on NG..still, you can use ctrl+ mouse wheel to zoom a bit out...
Thanks for your review.

[Black Desert]

Full Size is necessary

This is nice. This is actually the first piece where full size is absolutely necessary or else the viewer will miss out a lot of details.

For examples, the rays that come from the right hand side of the picture aren't really visible in the format it appears here in the portal. Only if you watch it in full size you can see them in their full beauty. ;)

The colors in the picture are very nice and go along pretty well together. Good work!

HeavyTank responds:

Very nice review, l make high-res pictures because they look better and have more details...in fact, l deleted my only low-res pic from here because l didn't like it that much....

[Pyscadellic Birds]

Nice

Has something of Hitchcock's "The Birds", the birds seem to be as threatening as they where in the film.

I like the colors in the background very much. It's a nice choice and gives the picture indeen a very psycadelic feeling.

However, I don't like those circle like objects in the lower right corner, they disturb the image too much.

[Quarter Face Collab]

Background needs some work

I like the colours in this picture, they go along pretty well with their mostly brownish tone.

The skull face is very detailed, especially the spider web. Maybe it would look even better if there was an actual spider in it.

I think the background nees some more work. It's too blurry right now and it kind of lets the picture down. The contrast between the detailed skull and the blurry background is just too much.

[My girl =]]

Nice

A pretty good picture with lots of details. I especially like the details on the clothes and the knees. I think this is the first character on NG I see that has kneecaps, heh.

I didn't like the face, though. The eyes are a bit too big and too much of the face is covered with her hair.

Also, some colours would be nice to have. It's a bit boring to only stare at black and white drawings.
