Ericho's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Vampire Killer]

I think this is a really good picture. It mostly works because it portrays action while at the same time looking cartoonish. I just love the fact that all of these character's fingers or claws are twirling around. I have always been a huge fan of that in drawings. I don't think that's fire they're supposed to be over. It looks more like wheat bustels.

I love how distorted the faces are. Everything just seems to wrap its way around itself in this picture. It's great to see a vampire, werewolf, and zombie all in the same place. I know werewolves and vampires are on bad terms, but what are their thoughts on zombies? It looks like a batarang is sticking out of the vampire's back.

[I see.....?]

I thought the picture was going to say "You" on it. Anyway, this is a very nice picture, because it really captures the utter insanity of the world. It might not mean that much by itself, but it's still great in its own right. It really does look like there's an evil face that's just staring at you. It's so intimidating! I love how there's so much detail put into everything and every crevice. Maybe "crevice" isn't a good word to describe a face.

Of course, this thing is so hideous I doubt if it could even qualify as a "face". It's an image that just hits you with everything it has all at once and scares you. I don't see a lot of good scary pictures, but this is an exception. I don't recall a face like this from "Watchmen". You may be referring to a variant of the character's mask, maybe?

[zombie bust 3]

I didn't find this as appealing as some of your other works, but it's still nice. I was thinking that, because of the title, he wasn't going to have a body and just be a head. It still works out that he's a pretty cool looking zombie. At first, I don't think he has a nose, but it's just really dark around that area. You seem to be pretty good with lines. I like how the picture comes off as more sinister because of those sketchy marks.

The background isn't too bad. Of course, I don't know if that was intentional or not, because it looks like that could just be the paper it was made on. I like how it's a stern, angry face. You'd expect a zombie to have more of a dull expression. The neck seems a bit too freakishly long, though.

[the hominid!]

It's so sweet how you give the hominid such an awesome design! I have no idea if that was supposed to be the character's name, but it works pretty well. Hey, this happens to be my 23rd birthday! It's nice to hear talk about birthdays on this day. It's actually the second time this happened, although I'm probably just more prone to noticing birthdays today. I love how strong he looks.

This refers not just to his strength, but also how good the character looks. I never would have guessed he would use a pitchfork as his main weapon. You'd think he'd be more into the blaster gun he uses in the game. Ah, I never played the game so I don't understand the joke! At least it's still my birthday.

[cardinal man]

Is it just me or does Cardinal Man look like Deadpool? The black stuff over his eyes and red suit really sells it for me. It's too bad this game was never created because it seriously looks like it could have been awesome! There are so many superheroes, it only makes sense there would be one of any animal. It would be even more cool if you had shown him battling enemies. Then again, maybe this IS him battling enemies.

I love the little details in this picture, like the cardinal a rang or whatever it is, he has coming up from his utility belt. Shark mouth shaped heads are pretty cool too. I like how there's a lot of good colors being used here. It seems like he has webbed feet, which I don't think cardinals have. Nice sixpack.

[Gluttony]

This is a really good art picture. I don't know exactly why, but it seems like something that would be on the show "Adventure Time". Granted, I haven't seen any episodes of that except for the pilot episode. Anyway, what is so nice is how there's a lot of detail put into all of his body parts. This horns seem like they're staring into some deep chasm. It looks like it's forming some deep vortex of which there is no escape.

There could have been a background. Then again, it does contrast well with how colorful the character is. It looks like his eyes are practically melting off his face. A lot of old people tend to look that way. His legs/feet look like they're too weak to even support his body.

wow, chasmous?
(I just made up that word)
I like how much you're into this art. your review is poetic.
i give this review 9/10
-1 because I wanted more musings

[the green knight!]

This is one great picture because it does the character so much justice. You have transformed him from a simple goofy cartoon character to an awesome fighter. I can't believe I never thought about Monty Python until now regarding these colored knights. I like how you worked hard to give him a realistic bodyframe. At the same time, you still made him look nicely cartoonish. It's great how you can work so well with the color green.

This reminds me of those collabs where people worked on different colors. They should make a new series of collabs featuring the knights! I love how those cool green skulls are floating around everywhere. I'm not that familiar with the game, so I don't know what they are. Everyone should enjoy this. You do us all justice.

[winnie the poo]

I think this is one of your better pictures, probably because it has such a nice old fashioned theme to it. When I was a little kid, I was the biggest fan of Winnie The Pooh. Hey, at least this doesn't have people getting shot or anything. I like how it's used on construction paper giving it a very nice nostalgic feeling. It's been awhile since I've even used paper like that. The use of marker is actually pretty good.

Winnie looks like one of the Angry Fiac faces. I guess it's mostly the lack of a nose. I like how there's smoke rising from his cigarette as if to show he was just off doing something. When you give cute characters guns, the results are always cool. It's overall nicely drawn, especially with the gun.

[Chicken eye]

What I found to be weird about this is why you even made it a chicken eye. I can imagine a plucked chicken in a slaughterhouse would probably look like this. What's strange is that it probably would have worked just as well if it had been a human eye. At least the flies are very nicely drawn. It really makes you realize how much we can look like plucked chickens. Its flesh is rotting so well.

I can't help but feel you were trying to make some disturbing point with this. Whatever the reason, the result was nice. It's amazing how many colors and shades you can get with so little material. I can't tell if those are welts or drops of blood or whatever. It's a truly insane and disturbing picture.

[Tarnold]

I guess I would have enjoyed this more if I could understand what it was supposed to be a picture of. It kind of reminds me of one of those masks from the "Crash Bandicoot" games. It might have been an original design. I guess I would have liked it more if there had been some background. It's still a nicely done picture, if only because of how ridiculous it is. I like how its tongue has these little taste buds on it that just stick out so much.

The sweat and yellow claws around the creature's body are also good. I'll probably never understand what this thing is, but it's certainly a unique picture. It looks terrified even though it's a terrifying thing in itself. I appreciate the non-sequitor nature of this. There's a lot of nice, bright colors here, too.
