DoctNik's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Jazz Jackrabbit]

It looks like a fun game lol (a rabbit AND a lazer gun!? How could you go wrong!) But seriously, it was well drawn, and accurate to its original image.I wish the eyes had a more bugs bunny cartoony look, but other than that this was spot on. Well done.

GhoulKitten responds:

It is a very fun game. :D And thank you, I appreciate the review! <3

I love this kind of art, it looks near perfect with only one exceptions. The ear looks alongated slightly elf like? Was that what you were going for? There's also that random shadow in the middle, which does bring a certain Existence to it, like its more than just a picture. I really love the eyes, hair, and the clothing. This looks like its professional, tbh.

AlsoSpratchMariano responds:

Ha, you got me with her ear, actually it wasn´t my intention to make it alongated. Guess I missed that. Stuff like this happens when you spend too much time working on something: you can't see anything else, you don't even realize the little mistakes.
Thank you for the compliments, I´m not a professional but I'm aiming to be one.

The farther back you go the crappier the quality gets.
The golden light never reaches the ground.
The ground looks like fog in the fore ground, then a flat surface in the background?
The tree tops look like cotton balls, but that's not really that bad I guess.
The trees in the very back have unfinished tops.

Because of these reasons, I won't give you a rating. It shows potential, as well as talent, but it also shows that you need to pay more attention to detail and lghting. take everything I said personally, kid. Unless you want to keep uploading stuff like this forever, you gotta step up. I can see your future stuff on the cover of books, you could be a great illustrator. You just gotta start putting effort in your art.

Degelraadio responds:

I appreciate your bluntness a lot, to be perfectly honest. I'll take what you have to say to heart. Thank you.

I don't recognize the character, but she looks bad ass. The design is great and so is the lighting. (This is, undoubtedbly the best lighting I've seen since I created my account!)

the background was almost as dark as the hair, making it difficult to make out. But from what I see, it looks like it was designed by a pro.

How long have you been drawing? And how long did this one take?

SurrealKatie responds:

I've been drawing since i was very young :p always doodled stuff in my work books rather than actually working.

And this took about 5 hours, ish.

Was this an original? Of course it was what am I saying. It looks pretty fucking amazing, the detail is evident and so is the time and effort you put into this, I would like to know more about the game actually. Will it be up again? What else have you made for the game? Is there a site for D. O. T.?

Ransom00 responds:

Thanks! =)

You can find more pictures from the game by searching in google by request: "d.o.t. danger online tactics". I dont want to put here direct links to screenshots because there is a lot of art pieces from other artist from developers team =). I was not the only artist. Mainly I drew only buildings and environment objects. I will post some other my pictures here in the future.

The game was already at the stage of open beta test in year of 2009, but suddenly main investor has died and the project ran out of money.

Unfortunately the project was closed for a long time and can not be restored, because it needs to be adapted to modern programming language which means a lot of work. And without finances this is impossible.

I have to be honest and critical, so you can better your self as an artist so listen up.

Firstly, the fore ground and the background are in contrast to one another, you shoulve made your own background.

Secondly, his face lacks expression. It should have some eye-brows and maybe a happy expression? It looks like its scared of me tbh.

Continualy, it has a stupid stance. He is holding the light-saber in a way noweapon should be held (especialy one that can burn right through you.)

Lastly, itwas poorly animated, the texture and the lighting disappoint me. You can do better.
