Haggard's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[dreamy cloud]

Nice

Simple, but very nice. Reminds me more of a hurricane, but you are right, the clouds also look very "dreamy".

I especially like the colors in this picture, they go along pretty well together.

Thanks, the colors were actually my biggest fear, most of the times I get them wrong and that tends to discourage me, because an otherwise nice picture gets ruined by my choice of colors.

[Star Fairy]

Wow...

This looks amazing. Maybe there are a tad bit too many stars there, but I like the effect on them. It really seems as if they are sending out light, as if they brighten their surroundings because of the lightening.

Because of the amazing sky one could nearly miss the angel sitting there on the rock, lol. But the character looks as amazing as the rest of the picture. Good work! :)

Thanks :)

[Demon Scorcery]

Nice

Again a very detailed picture. Especially the floor is awesome (but with photoshop propably a lot easier than if you would draw all this with a pencil, heh).

Anyway, I like the perspective of the floor. It really looks as if it "reaches into" the room and not as if it was simply painted on a 2D canvas.

The demon looks good as well. Especially the chest. However, his left leg is somewhat strange. I just can't figure out if this is supposed to be his thigh or his tail there with that medal. Propably his left thigh, but looks a bit strange nevertheless.

EchoRun responds:

I think the mix of dragon type limbs on a human-ish body, low colour contrast, and that pedestal blocking the view makes the whole thing a bit funny on the eyes. Not a series of mistakes I plan to repeat! lol.

Thanks for the review!

[Servant of the Gods]

Gets better the longer you look at

At first I wasn't sure if I really like the blurred background. It seemed a bit out of place. But the longer I looked at the picture the more I received the impression that the blurred background is because this is just a snapshot of a fraction of a second. The lightening strikes and I can see the Avatar just now, when the lightening hits the tree. Plus, it's a storm, so the bushes and the trees do not stand still, but are in a constant move because of the blowing wind.
This is pretty good captured with the blurred background.

I again like the little details here, for example that some branches are flying through the air where the lightening strikes. I also like the colours of the lightening itself, looks pretty real.

The Avatar itself could use some more details, though.

Thanks for the review.

The stormy look was a tricky one, but I liked what I ended up with so I let this one be.

[Good ol' hank]

Nice

Out of the three I reviewed today from you I think this picture looks the best. This one also has a background, so the canvas doesn't look as empty. ;)

But I think the jacket he wears could have used a few more details, some shadows or some folds here and there.

[Hank MC 6]

Needs a better background

Hank looks pretty good. It's amazing how much details you added with just a pencil.
The weapon in his right hand is hard to figure out at first, so mabye a different angle would have been better here.
Also, his feet are missing, heh. But other than that I don't think you could've done anything better with Hank.

But the major downside isn't the main character, but the surroundings. There are only a few fine lines in the background, so the canvas looks pretty much empty. With a background the picture would look much better, I think.

[Save us 222]

Modern art?

Looks like so called "modern art" to me. And to be honest, I don't like it too much. Maybe because I never understood all the fuzz about "save us 222" (I'm not into wrestling either and I couldn't care less if Chris Jericho returns to the ring or not).

But I found it intersting that on first glance I couldn't make anything out, but on second glance I suddendly saw something that could qualify as various people standing around (in the top right and inthe top left, also a few in the bottom right). So that shows that you didn't just threw the colours at the canvas in a random order, but you had some thoughts as of what to do in your mind.

Still, I don't like the picture that much.

[Landscape]

I remember that

Hey, I remember that picture from the flash portal. I think you once requested a review in the RRC.

Yeah, I still like it and still the sun is my favorite part of it. :)
