Haggard's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Woman]

Good drawing

A good drawing. I think the propotions of the body and the extremities. The arms may be a bit too long, but it's hardly noticeable.

Maybe you could've made a different background. The current background creates a very dark and unfriendly atmosphere and it also makes the woman look like a corpse. I don't think that was your intention.

Maybe some leaves or grass would look better and more friendly here.

Merol responds:

Hmm, maybe the arms are a bit too long, just a little bit.
And I think she may look like a corpse because she is colourless.
THAANKK YOOOU!!!!!!!!!!

[Mr. Monocle]

Hmm

It looks really sketchy, but it also has something to it that I like.

I like the character you drew here, he looks kind of funny. But the rest of the picture just looks bad. The colouring looks awful, even though you may have done that on purpose. I just don't like how the colours are constantly over the outlines, which looks quite crappy.

Also the colours don't always have the same opacity on one object. Look at the ground for example. To the right of the character there are some very light spots, while to the left the colours are way darker.

Overall the negative aspects outweigh the positive aspects here, so I don't like the picture too much.

my first one though

[Burned Tower (Ecruteak City)]

Good pic, but...

It's a nice picture and I like what you've created here. The problem with coloured pencils is that it is very hard to get a decent colouring done. Just like Fro said, you have some dark patches here and there in the picture which lets down the whole piece.
It really looks like you didn't put too much effort into the colouring part. I'm sure you actually DID put effort into colouring this picture, but it sadly doesn't show too much.

Anyway, the picture itself looks very good, I'm looking forward to see this picture redone in flash.

[Mushroom Kingdom Stand-Up 1]

Simple but funny

Well the comic is drawn in a very simple way. Only one colour in the background and only one character in one panel at a time.
But Luigi itself is drawn in a very nice way. I especially like his facial expressions here.

The joke is delivered in a nice way, so you've done a good job here. I hope ypu turn this into a series. :)

Iplaygames responds:

I'm considering it, but I either need more bad puns, or actual jokes... they wouldn't all be with Luigi either.

Thanks

[Midnight]

Good

For just messing around with photoshop this picture came out really nicely.
It's a very good picture of the moon you chose to mess around with. I also like the choice of colours here, I think it fits very well to the moon.
The darkish colours add a very nice "nightly" touch to the pic. It's as if I was lying on the ground watching the moon on a nice late summer's night.

Thanks a lot, I was going for an upwards view type deal here.

[P-Bot Working]

Good idea, but needs some more work

It is a very interesting concept to show P-Bot at work. But I think the picture would look even better with some more effort put into it.

Now, I'm not saying you didn't put any effort into it, because it clearly shows that you did. You coloured the picture and even thought of some sort of background, but it everything looks a bit too sketchy for me.

Also I think the "Submit" gate should be in front of P-Bot. Then the flashes would go through this gate and then they either land on the "blammed" pile or the "protected" pile, because that's how the portal works.
Now P-Bot stands in front of the gate which indicates that P-Bot has a look at the flashes that users want to submit before they are actually submitted (I hope I make sense here).

Also I think the "Protected" and "Blammed" piles should look more different from each other. Maybe try to draw the pile on the left a bit shinier, with sparkles or some gems on it while the "blammed" pile should have some garbage or poo on it.

A nice extra touch would be showing some kitties (ie members of the kitty krew) behind the gates, meaning that they found a way to "break" into the portal. But maybe that idea would push things a little too far.

In conclusion I have to say, even though this review may sound a bit too negative or too critical I'm in no way am trying to downplay this picture.
I like the idea behind it and I give you kudos for that, but I still think it looks too sketchy.

Anyway, congrats for the Frontpage!

[Even trolls need a leader!]

Very good picture

I really like this picture. It has some very nice details like the pile of skulls or the spikes on the throne.
It also has a very funny and comical touch to it.

The background is done in a nice way as well. The shiluette of a city (most likely the same city we can see in the newgrounds header).

The king might need a smaller throne, though. He looks kinda lost on the big chair there. ^^

Mabelma responds:

I'm glad you liked it, I plan to go back to it an many of my other images and just redo them so it's most likely the king will be replaced.

[Post-Industrial Waste]

Good

This looks pretty good. Maybe a few lines here and there are a bit too thick (like the dimple on the chin) but overall it's a very good sketch.

What I like most about it is the way you played the sketch on the paper. It now looks as if you would hold a camera in your hand and taking a picture of yourself. It also almost seems as if the sketch would come to live any minute (just like in the A-Ha video for "Take on me").

WetPhyseter responds:

Oh, oh, oh! You infantile fool, you jeopardizing jerk, you you, you! That's actually my chin. And you have hurt my feelings. Indeed, all feelings have been hurt, from joy to pain to possibly horny, but then you have a problem.

[Hayley]

Excellent

Awesome picture. A very good sketch that you draw here, so I guess your friend was right to bug you about this.

The only thing that kind of "destroys" the image are the two streaks on the right side of the picture. It looks as if you ran out of paper and took an already drawn on piece and erased the things that where on it before you drew the image we can now see here.

I think you should edit them out, so that nothing stands in the way to admire this nicely drawn sketch.

I WILL NOT EDIT WHAT HAS BEEN TO EDIT.

[Little 'topus]

I threw up on your sanity a little

I don't know why, but I got reminded a bit of Cthulu (or happy 'thulu) when looking at this picture.

Anyway, the Octopus looks pretty good, even though it has very weird colours. Maybe it should go and see a doctor?
However, the colours go along very well with each other, so I think you've done a very good job on your colour choice. The background is a bit lacking, though, especially the white areas there don't look too good.

I like that you add a special note to the picture by drawing a little pennon into it that the 'topus is holding in one of his tentacles. Looks very funny. :)

The background is my sanity, sir.
