Masterpiece Monday #2

Greetings, jammer! My name is KingJamaa, and I’m your host for this week’s edition of Masterpiece Monday. Today, we have four amazing masterpieces to showcase, so let’s get started.

Our first masterpiece, made by Blackwolf507, showcases a snake curled on a branch. I adore the many different shades of green used, as well as the small touches of yellow that dot the snake itself as well as the background.

Sharktag3489 has created a realistic bust shot of Julian2! The text really stood out to me, and the curls of Julian’s mane and tail really take the cake for me. In addition, the monocle and sword are very well drawn. Lovely job~!

Filing up for our third piece this week is Jammer001371’s underwater landscape scene. The hues of blue make for a very detailed piece, and the jellyfish and shark are exceptionally well done.

Finally, we have Cengizhan541’s representation of none other than Wisteriamoon. This artist’s style is very detailed, and I absolutely love the candle croc in the corner. The shading is additionally pleasing, and everything about this piece really flows together in my opinion.

Well jammers, that’ll be it from me for this week. Ciao, and see you in Jamaa!

Today in Jamaa History: The Adventures Begin

Hello Jammers! Yellow here! For my first scroll, I’ve decided on June 18th 2013. This update was actually on a Tuesday, oddly enough. But, I would say that it was one of the most important updates in Animal Jam history.

Adventures first released five years ago today! Time sure does fly by doesn’t it? This was such a big event that the reveal of Kangaroos was pushed back all the way to page five.

But, back to adventures. The update launched with two adventures, the Training Grounds, and Return of the Phantoms. These adventures didn’t change much except for the place that housed them, and their prizes. First, the base camp was very different when it first opened. However, there’s not many pictures of it online. Here’s the best I could do:

Very different from what we have now! It was also heavily advertised that adventures were in beta. You could see “Beta” plastered all over, including the Jamaa Journal, party list, and reward items. Speaking of reward items, they’re different from the current prizes too.

Each item, when clicked on, gets rid of the phantom infection is has. If you’ve played Return of the Phantoms you’ll know this is a common trend in the adventure.

Now, for our final piece of trivia, the new item of the day was…

The beta bird feeder! Be sure to join me next time as we take a look at another newspaper from long ago, with with a small feature that made a big impact.

Masterpiece Monday #1

Greetings, jammers! Welcome to Masterpiece Monday, the latest new topic on AJA. Every Monday, along with the Rare Item Monday post, a Masterpiece Monday will be posted with three to four awesome masterpieces I’ve found around Jamaa with some constructive critique and compliments. Let’s get started, shall we?

Our first masterpiece is by Nifkit, and it depicts several different phantoms in a land of what seems to be filled with purple landscape. I personally love this jammer’s use of shading, as well as the perspective and depth. The different features on the phantoms are also phenomenal, such as the spikes and what looks to be an angry-looking eyebrow.

Pizzaplaza’s gorgeous mountain portrait takes the stage for our second masterpiece this week. The different colors really pop out, and the blending of the reflection of the mountain in the river is stunning. In addition, the two peaks in the background really show the boundary between the larger mountain and the many seemingly smaller mountains. Lovely job, jammer!

Snagging the third slot for our time this article is a beautiful polar bear masterpiece by none other than Cleopawtrah! I adore how this jammer has shaded the piece, and the colors they’ve managed to achieve within AJ’s art studio really takes the cake for me. The snowflakes are, additionally, very well drawn– they really help structure the setting!

Our final masterpiece is one drawn by Theshopking that depicts Animal Jam’s logo. I love the gradients and dark purple background that really makes the logo pop. The lines are very straight, and it resembles the game’s logo a lot in my opinion.

Well, jammers, that concludes our session for this week. Thanks for reading, and have a great day!
