SourJovis's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Suicide Hotline]

Don't.

[Forgotten Lands]

Looks very beautiful. You combine many things I like in one artwork; fantasy land with beautiful architecture in harmony with nature in the mountains with a view, waterfalls, trees, fog at dusk/dawn and dragons. A place you wish was real. I like the lighting. How it makes everything shine.

[Mystic tree]

Looks great.So much detail. Beautiful colours.

[6801 S Cedar]

Nice paintings. Have to look a second time before I see it's not a photo, and that's a rare feat for pixel art.

[Screenshot Jam]

Dino Riders without riders but with robots. You can never go wrong with armed dinosaurs.

[Game Jam: The Game]

Interesting concept. If people in the game jam make a game about people making a game in a game jam, what game do the people in the game jam game game jam make? Another game about people making a game for a game jam? That would be a game for a game jam in a game for a game jam within a game jam game. Who is to say this game jam we participate in now, isn't actually a game for a game jam as well. And who made that game jam? Is it a game?

[SeaKnightsGame]

Well drawn yet funny. I like it when good artists don't take themselves too seriously. Humor is never beneath you. I hope your entry gets picked.

what other way would you ride into battle?...

[Robots IN CLOAKS]

Look great! Wish to see them in a project like an animation, game, comic or whatever. Anyway tastes like more.

[Daenerys]

Very realistic and beautiful. A few issues I have though if I may say. The eye colour. According to the books Daenerys has violet eyes. In the tv series it differs from shot to shot, but they're usually very dark and ambiguous. I think the actress in real life has irises that have black rims, then become a greyish blue in the middle, and brown around the pupils. I suppose the bright blue was an artistic choice, to match the dress, but it doesn't fit the character. I would soften up the eyebrows a little. I know her eyebrows stand out in the tv series, but you overdid it. The contrast between the blues and the reds is quite nice. I like the hair. Much detail. Well done.

Thanks for the review, I expect you know a lot more than me about what she's actually supposed to look like- I was only going off one reference picture in which her eyes were a bright blue, and as a result I made the dress to match the eyes. I agree with you on the eyebrows, they're actually left over from when I first started working on this and I intended to make it a lot less detailed than it came out to be. I never really went back to soften them.

[Young Smaug the Terrible]

Very nice painting. I can imagine Smaug looking like that when he was younger. But what do you mean by "No one saw smaug complete yet"? The book The Hobbit has been around since 1937. There have been lots of film, game, comic, tv series, artwork and many more adaptations of that book. There must be millions of interpretations of what Smaug looks like so you're not the first, and hopefully not the last to show Smaug "complete". No offence though. You did a great job. There can be never enough Smaug artwork. I'd say it's a nice addition to the pile of treasure Smaug sleeps on.

SUIamena responds:

With "no one saw him complete yet" I ment the movie version of Smaug. Should have been more specific.
And thanks!
