First!

How do you submit descriptions for these videos?

I didn't know if you realised this, but this formula and thumbnail is very similar to Lavender Towne's 'By the Book' series. And I don't think you meant to copy it exactly, but the thumbnail is almost exactly the same.

I'm apparently early hey guys if you read this I don't know I'm really hungry unmongos

Why remove the comment crediting Lavendertowne?

Sums up Sapkowski's style pretty well

Middle aged 🤷🏻‍♀️

actually perfectly lines up with the lore for the Witcher as Geralt is immortal and he's supposed to be around a century old but he still looks relatively young

@@serpentking1039 except he only looks young for his age. he looks around 50 or so but is 160 at least in the books in the games later he is around 200 and looks like 70

@@aaronklein3480 ya

lol

What kills me is that idk anyone who would describe whiskers as anything but a mustache.

@@weebjeez i thought the same 😂

@@weebjeez I've heard whiskers being used for a short scraggly beard. Not exactly unkept but a more rough appearance.

@@TakGalen so, again. Not descriptive of Lincoln, whose beard, while unconventional, was full.

I'd love to see that it gives you a perspective that everyone is different

💯

Actually, a specific and well-worded description will result in the multiple artists producing similar portraits. Think Police Sketch artists.

They did Abe SOOOOOO dirty there

So my husband never read the books, and the while time I was watching him to see when/if he would get it, because Snape was the one thing I was waiting for the whole video 🤣

Ya i agree…

I haven't read the books or watched the movies, but because of all the memes he was my first guess...and the only one I was able to figure out.

Yeah, Snape and Joffrey were easy because of how often they're described using those kinds of terms.

snape. snape. seeeverus snape.

Same

even if professional artists dont do what you do, doesnt mean its "Wrong", its just what you do and you way of making art that you found

Yep lol.

Lol yep same 😂

😂😂 ikr I thought the same

words on Alan Rickman as an actor, and yes, Snape's life could certainly have aged him up. (And I feel like half of the fanfiction that Snape got is due to Alan Rickman doing such a great job portraying him, the other is because us girls can't resist some tortured smart dangerous anti-hero (or down-right villain, if the actor is charismatic enough). At least in fiction. )

The other artwork isn’t official either, just another depiction

@Don't read profile photo deal

Leotard doesn’t have legs, a unitard does. A bodysuit is just a renamed unitard imo

Probably too sexy for Hollywood.

@@kimmyawesomeness4184 I beleive the difference is usually in material and unitards don't typically have arms (though its not impossible) leotards and unitards tend to be maid of a fairly light, stretchy material, since they are made for movement, where body suits tend to be thicker and less stretch, with more imbelishments, like buckles and studs and things like that

Ik its amazing

Rickman wasn’t in his mid 30s however

Yas to both of u

Yeah😊

That was dark olive

I looked it up and it wasn’t dark olive skin or dark eyes, it was just olive toned with grey eyes and straight black hair down to her back. I always pictured Italian woman with New York grey blue.

@@tomboymjr I personally while reading the books always envisioned her as a woman of color-I think one just because I am one myself and could identify with her more that way, and two it resonates more with her story being from the most impoverished district to also be a part of a marginalized racial community. But yes it’s definitely open to interpretation, she could also very well just be a white person with a tan, that’s the beauty of books to envision characters as you please! (Also I didn’t include the description verbatim, her skin tone is described as dark in one segment and olive toned in others, same with her eyes described as dark and also grey, it was just for simplicity sake)

Olive skin is usually used to describe people from southern europe, so even if they have a darker skin they are usually still white.

Olive skinned means dark white basically lol

A fellow potter head, I see

Yessssss from book four the triwizard tournament aghhhh that’s my fave book in the series

the expression is on point tho the face is not even close. the nost is short and not hooked enough or long even, the hair have strands that do not "frame" the face really. the teeth arent yellowing as in the books. also the hair looks more shiny and sleek here than the greasy unkempt curtains like described in the books. This snape looks more like Filch that anything😂

😂😂😂 Facts!

Alan Rickman nailed Snape. Period. In fact the only one that really didn’t look like the book (talking film versions) is The Hunger Games heroin. But all these sketches (well except Lincoln lol) were great 👍🏻

Yeah, Snape, Remus, Sirius, James and Lily (in the flashbacks and photos)

It definitely helps lupin out. Him with someone who looked so young felt like a weird choice.

When Lily and James died they were 21

well if he knew the name then he would just be drawing that character as he appears in the film/game/series rather than the actual description

@@serpentking1039 I feel like he knew Snape pretty early on. Greasy hair framing his face, hooked nose. It's a popular character, considering what the other characters were it wasn't a hard guess.

@@serpentking1039 Well usually when I see this video, its creating from the written book description but there's also a visual adaptation of that already existing (hunger games and harry potter can both fall in this category). Not everyone has a team to keep the source media hidden from them.

I agree with this comment. I took screen shots of the prompt and was thinking about drawing them myself!!! although since I do know the characters names now, I think I won't be looking up any reference pictures for them. Basically, like I did when I was imaging the characters from younger children's books as I would read them in elementary school. The Junie B Jone's and the Dork Diary books always made this part easy with the amazing descriptions!!

That's my problem I have with reading books after seeing the movies. Just can't get the mental image of the movie version of the characters out of my head

That sounds really cool

The problem with taking pieces from a book is that it's copyrighted material, so by plucking entire passages, you're getting onto thin ice.

@@imperfectimp nah not really it's just a quote or a sentence your not freakin pulling out chapters lol

@@imperfectimp And you're doing it for the purpose of education, so it (maybe!) falls under Fair Use. Works that are in the public domain, however, are not only Fair Use, they're Fair Game. ;-)

That's what I was expecting from the title!

Maybe he's going to do a part 2 😄

When Jazza drew Snape it looked like an orc from the movies but with hair, close enough.

Lets get this comment to the top

Especially Gollum. He's so different in the movies! Not complaining tho, movie Gollum works really well too

@@hoi6441 Agreed the Movie version was GREAT. Just really interesting to see just how different some of the characters are. Oddly the Wizards are probably the closest, especially Radagast.

This ^

My thoughts exactly ☝️

What I was thinking I don’t mind his big experiments but every now and then I’d like to see him just draw

Just art with raw skill and experience, with entertaining Jazzy Narration is really all I need some days.

Yup my fave video in a while

Oh thanks! I used a dictionary, but your definition is actually better than the "beard" I had as a translation haha :)

Not only that but I remember reading stories about the little girl who suggested that Lincoln grow his "whiskers" out because they would fill his face in and make him more handsome. That was the word she used - "whiskers".

Whiskers can also be used to refer to hair on the chin and cheeks which could explain @Joshua Goodmans statement

@@Rodger_Phillips Well, it's old to those a generation or two later. And it could also depend on where you grew up, whether the expression is still in use. In my experience, it was a term I only came across in books like Little House on the Prairie, or Old Yeller or something like that. My grandparents and great-grandmother never used the expression themselves either, but they were from up North and some came from a line of immigrants in the early 1900s, so naturally it wasn't part of their vocabulary. But I understand that the expression was also used more so in the deep south, and may still be used there for all I know.

@@midoriemi3859 Lol, tbh, I'm not sure I've ever looked up the definition in a dictionary - it's just the definition I learned from reading it in context. I actually have no idea if the definition is supposed to mean a thick or wiry beard, but there always seemed to be a weird phenomenon where authors would add further descriptions if it didn't fall under what I supposed to be a "standard thick beard".

It is really close! I have read the books and this is definitely how he is described!

The Geralt in the latest game is way too fat and cuddly, He matches the book better in the first game, like a hungry wolf.

@@w415800 to be fair he was working for an army in the second game so he was able to get a steady supply of food

@@kaelhyun2401 Exactly. I think the depiction in the games is fair because they're essentially a sequel. Things happen. They started off with basically the book version and went from there.

Whoever gave him the features forgot to add "Viper eyes" to the description. If Jazza read that I'm pretty sure he would've nailed Geralt

AAAAAAA YES

Business vacation!!!!

@Don't read profile photo Deal

Percy Jackson should be in the next one!

I'd say a beach episode will probably have to wait at least until it's not winter where he lives

Frankenstein's monster would have also been interesting, but he is really different in the book so maybe not.

this remindes me that i havent checked my emails for daily dracula in a few days!

He is also more of an old man.

@@zokoravonyensloh yo same, but I’ve read it before so I just skim through it to refresh my memory.

In honor of Dracula Daily, I second this

That'd be an interesting episode. Have his team pick out some notorious figures like serial killers, mob bosses, outlaws from the wild west, etc. Also, totally separate but drawing other artists (from his team's descriptions), current KZfaq artists, as well as historical artists, would be interesting

Noice…also I animated a white cat so…yeh..idk why…I said that

@@winterprism9227 yo, that’s a cool idea! would be sick to see how Jazza would tackle this challenge. And As a side note, in relation to character creation and recognition, it would be cool to see how important culture, clothing, time, faces and personality is in recognition of people

Yes definitely. I used to love playing that game

I'll never be able to think about Abram Lincoln the same way again...

😂

🤣

LMFAO yes!

That’s actually golden wit right there.

Yea she's described as having the appearance of someone from "The Seam" who are described as commonly having olive skin, black hair, and grey eyes. A bit surprised that they didn't put that description in there since it mentions it in the first book.

@@courtneywhite9086 yeah I agree

@@courtneywhite9086 Probably since shes such an iconic character giving too many hints would just give it away immediately

@@alanamerrell2027 hmm I don't think she's more iconic than Snape, at least not in terms of how long they've been around and he had more obvious descriptions. Also, a lot know her from the movies where she isn't olive skinned.

@ignomeme Actors don't make casting decisions.

Same!

Same, same, same and same.

@Sister Society ye me too cause I’m subbed to way too much people right now

@@peppermintspice5873 I’ve just stopped worrying abt it lol

Lavendertowne has already done it

yes i agree

@@felixisdying2974 which video is it?

Yesss, I am really mad at that too

i think his crew is the one choosing characters, hes just drawing them

I really recommend watching LavenderTownes video on this as well! Her “By the Book” series had a hunger games video that did this well. I think it was released a couple years ago

Yeah, he made me prettier... but damn he butchered my name

Agree, that would be an awesome collab video!

Amazing idea!❤️

The biggest difference would be the style difference

DrawFee did something simillar! They took random generated prompts though, but the 4 of them drew from the same descriptions

That would be an awesome board drawing game to play with friends.

It could've also been grima

@@owyemen9367 Oh yeah! Their descriptions are pretty similar... also glad to meet a fellow LOTR fan!

What if u have watched Harry Potter but don’t like it? But thats not like me i oath that i am a Harry Potter fan in and out!

@@bilalsala Well, if you watched it and didn't like it you still may possibly recognize him as Snape, though you don't like the movie itself. Or not. I don't know 🤔.

i liked the old italian illustrations where he's balding

What did he click on 1:50 for the line cleanup?

Same

True

Same except I knew it was her from when he described it

Funny thing is, if you reread the books, Snape's hair isn't as greasy as Harry constantly describes it to be (that disconnect is there for thematic reasons). As someone who's worked with hair before, Snape's hair being described as mobile as it is clashes with greasiness. The dude's hair is probably greasy because he spends several hours a day in a Potions classroom.

I only guessed it was Katniss from the braid, I didn't even know she got a cape thing, I've only seen the 1st movie and it was ages ago

It also looks VERY similar to his appearance in the first Witcher game!

It would of been hilarious if Jazza guessed it was Elric instead of Geralt.

@@RyllenKriel Who?

He gave me Mahito vibes

Same with Robert E. Howard's Conan character. Conan is described as more lean than massively muscular, more of a rogue-like character. Arnold Schwarzenegger's biceps we're so big during filming he couldn't properly swing the sword.

“Drawing people EXACTLY as described in the book”…. Takes like 5 bullet point descriptions from each. You’re right I believe on Katniss. I do not know why more information wasn’t provided. With their talent, I’d be incredibly interested to see like the full 4 page description of the character. And then see how they would draw them to bring them to life.

Greeks don't look like that lmao

@@imwinningthisone7613 For sure not that dark but there are many Greeks with an olive skin tone.

Greek?

@@imwinningthisone7613 basically all of sourthern europe has olive skin tones

Frankenstein's monster, The Phantom, and Dracula would make a great Halloween episode. Could also throw in The Invisible Man for good measure. Or just put Satan from Faust, who apparently has a squirrel like tail.

I legit thought the last one was the Creature

@@rossvegas1346 not even close- the skin is incorrect

@@MIssSpaceCadette I just assumed they didn’t specify the skin since they didn’t for Katniss

My dad was like that in his younger years. He was a basketball player.

Gangly is about proportions. You can be muscular or not muscular and still be gangly, it just limits looking like thor a little bit.

Oh I love that! Like for him to maybe either do a series or just a few short videos of the audience sending in DND oc descriptions or just regular oc descriptions and having him draw a few!

Me too! When I saw the hair I guessed it was her. Somehow the cape made sense even though I didn't remember the cape. The headpiece confused me but I stick with her. Good job!

Me too!! The head piece threw me alittle, but I just really knew it was her!! Good job!!

I thought Katniss too, but the leotard threw me off. Leotards don't cover your legs, and I couldn't really imagine Katniss going around like that.

Me too

I guessed katniss as soon as I saw leather boots and fire cape

LOL Anyway, in case you're interested, the Creature is described as being 10 feet tall, with disheveled long black hair and with a yellowish but transparent mummy-like skin that lets you see his pearly white teeth and all of his muscles and blood vessels (so you can probably also see his eyes through his skin in full, despite it not being clearly pointed out by Shelley). Also, Frankenstein created him anew (which is why the Creature is huge, since Frankestein needed to scale up all the blood vessels, nerves, etc.) It's also heavily hinted that he was created using alchemy. No corpses were harmed in the creating of the Creature. lol (well... except when Frankenstein was studying them, I suppose...)

@@SDayle so he was hot?

@@an0nym0us_slash35 yes

@@an0nym0us_slash35 Victor Frankenstein said that his monster was beautiful during its construction, yet at the same time during its reanimation the monster was capable of evoking terror upon first sight. So, I assumed he had an uncanny valley component to him. Or like constructed with pieces that individually, were handsome on their own-but jumbled together without any facial harmony would look hideous.

yesyesyes wings of fire !!!!!

Wings of fire haven’t seen that in forever

Yeah wings of fire

Did someone say Wings of Fire?? Epic.

@@jinxcat0319 Yeah, I said Wings of Fire!

no same they didnt do a great job decribing the charaters at all definitely thought they would have put in basic info like skin colour hair colour or texture eye colour

Yeah Lincoln was the worst description ever. They could have gone with very tall, short Amish bread, 1800s, thick dark hair, big nose. Instead they gave a completely random list of things that aren't even very Lincoln. Gangly? The dude was built like a tree and was known for his physical strength as a young man

Yeah, I'm not sure what their game is. For example, I'm almost positive that Snape gets described as having black eyes in the books on multiple occasions (i.e. presumably just so dark of a brown that it's hard to tell the pupils from the irises), yet they didn't mention that at all in the description. He came to that conclusion on his own, but they really shouldn't be claiming the video to be drawing the characters 'exactly' as described in the book if they're not going to use as much of the book's descriptions as possible. It seems like they're trying to give him deliberately vague descriptions in order to make sure he doesn't guess the character (for example, Geralt having yellow eyes with slit-like pupils is mentioned frequently in the books). If they want to get unique designs out of him that won't be as heavily influenced by him guessing the character partway through, they should drip-feed him the descriptions. Give him just enough information to get a design going, then start dropping stuff like eye colors/defining features that he can implement after the fact. I suppose it could just be that his crew are just too lazy to spend any amount of time searching for descriptors, which would be a shame.

Katniss' gray eyes, dark hair, and olive skin, which set her apart from her blue-eyed, blonde-haired sister and mother, are a pretty big part of the book

Katniss skin isn't mentioned in the book. That was only art that I thought was bad, it didnt look anything like her, his art was like a superhero from DC or something

He doesn't, he's way older than his character. The whole generation of hp's parents is actually younger in the books then the actors playing them in the movies. Snape... He died at 38, he's 31 when we meet him first.

I just think they made Snape too clean looking in the films, he should have looked more dishevelled and unkempt.

@@Rose-hh7mk yeah, he's sort of depressed person, he lost all he loves and has to teach, and he clearly hates it. His mother died, his love betrayed him and died, one of his friends died, another is believed to die in azkaban (his friends were Regulus Black and Barty Crouch Jr) Also note that JKR sees flying figures in black cloaks repeatedly in her nightmares when she's depressed, so Snape, thestrals and dementors and the death eaters are her literal depression.

As much as I liked Alan Rickman's portrayal, I always felt he was too nice looking to play Snape. While he could play a harsh, intimidating man with a mean streak a mile wide, his Snape never felt "slimy" or "creepy". Jazza's drawing actually looks creeptastic.

@@annasolovyeva1013 Snape was young when he became a teacher. He was 21. Younger than me as of writing this.

I was eating my breakfast while watching. So I literally choked twice: once seeing the photograph, once when the drawing was shown one more time. X-D I needed a good laugh. I guessed for Katniss when he chose, as he said, "fiery colours" for the cape. I was like "Ah! FIRE!"

Coincidence that being dyslexic caused you you think of a dyslexic character?

Gonna be honest, when I saw the thumbnail I assumed it was a Drawfee video! So I dunno, maybe there's just a lot of art channels with a similar presentation style!

Lol when i saw the thumbnail i legit thought you did a collab with lavendertowne, it's all good tho thumbnails don't always have to be original

The only similarities I see between you and lavender is the thumbnail. But many ppl have used it. I knew it was your team that helped you, and I knew you wouldn’t copy anyone on purpose. You’re a great person Jazza.

i left a comment talking about this but then deleted it after i saw this comment! i’m glad you realized, and the whole notion of emulating thumbnails makes sense. it just made me do a double take since lavendertowne’s thumbnails are so distinctly recognizable, and i wasn’t expecting to find a jazza video once i clicked lol

I think the fact that you didn’t know who you were drawing gives the video more of a game-show feel. It’s clear that the thumbnail is inspired by LavenderTowne’s video series, but you’re not copying her exact video. There’s nothing wrong with having a similar looking thumbnail, hell, most reaction KZfaqrs use the same surprised face with a red background and then whatever the subject of the video is. Amazing video so far, very entertaining. Love your content

100% agree with you, was waiting for someone to mention lavendertowne

Ibis really does have some super useful brushes. They've saved me tons of time in the past and gotten me to try out different styles of coloring.

I also thoughg of the series of lavandertowne :)

Conversely, Peter Jackson overdid so much in LotR. Alan Rickman would have made a much more convincing Grima as Tolkien wrote him.

if snape looked like grima, neville would have already had a heart attack lol

Also I don’t think Grima’s actor had the right kind of menacing competence. Snape was extremely competent and brave, for all his faults. Grima was weak and slimy.

Jk Rowling herself ultimately chose Alan Rickman, didn't she? So I think she thought he looked like Snape well enough
