John-Young's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Crazylove]

Hi am a big fan of detail and really love this piece. I particularly like the way you made it look like a polaroid. In terms of critique as requested. I would say harley could do with some more detail on the face to make here more rounded. She feels a tad flat compared to the rest of the image. I hope this is helpful?

SwatJack responds:

Thank you. Thats very helpful. I feel same way about her, just had to be sure :P

[Crazy Love]

Hi, I really like your piece. It's very cute. If I may be so bold to suggest adding a little more depth to the colour and shading. I don't it needs too much but I personally want you to have the best chance to win and your piece feels a little unfinished.
Please try to check out Will Terry's art, he is a digital artist but it may help you. But otherwise, it's a really lovely painting and best of luck.

KMojica responds:

Thank you so much for the feedback. I have already submitted it so I do not want to change it (id feel I cheated a bit) but I will definitely take the suggestions and carry them over to my next pieces! I appreciate the advice!

[Ghouls'n Ghosts, New Resolution.]

Great job. I really love the detail on the sword and armour

Dharkside responds:

Thank you John, I appreciate the feedback you have given me!

Nice. I love how this feels like a real Japanese temple

BlueHeatwave responds:

Thanks man! Tried to use my creative license to give it that Japanese atmosphere whilst not taking too many liberties with the design! Glad you like it :)

[E-SWAT]

Great use of exaggeration of the mech suit and making it look bigger than in the original sprite

SwatJack responds:

Thanks! Yup,that was the idea (slightly bigger) :)

[dragonwarrior newres]

It's a Star Wars piece what move can I say l love it. Great Tie Fighter detail.

MiDevilManga responds:

thank you :)

[Metroid- "Unknown horizon"]

Wow, I really like how you went to town with the shadow and highlights. Gives this piece a feel of the Metronoid looming out of the shaddows.

MaRy991 responds:

I had a hard time painting the piece with these hard shadows because I really suck at painting, thank you so much for the appreciation

[B-NewRes Castlevania]

Good image but would you be able to increase the size? It's a tad small.

lucidscrub responds:

sorry about that but would there be a resolution youd want?
