Ericho's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Robot Sketch]

As far as first sketches go, this is really quite good. I can't tell if it was made before 2009. There were certainly drawings before that! I like how it really does seem to be something quite unique for your style. Or you guys', however many of you worked on this. It just has great creativity to it.

I imagine it's probably supposed to be scary or sad with how his arm is just hanging off. Then again, robots are supposed to have emotions. I like how he seems to have a tongue. He looks a lot more like a skeleton now that I look at him. Thanks for the cool picture.

[imp]

I found this to be a good picture. I think the main reason is because it is a pretty original design. There really were a lot of things submitted the first day of the art portal, huh? At least, I think this was the first day. It reminded me of the fire people from "Adventure Time". Fire had to be the intentional theme at least.

I guess you could have used a background. Of course, I'm probably just sweeting over small stuff. It looks like this guy is wearing a skirt or something. I don't know what thing on his head is. It is a "he", right?

[Orky]

I love when you do things just to experiment with them. This is probably your second best picture. I don't know why, it just seems like you did something so different. A pity you haven't been active in the past couple of years. I'd love to see you back. The colors just strike so wonderfully here.

The funny thing is that the name sounds so innocent. Of course, I can't judge if he's a mean guy. He just seems to be a wonderful representation of an ork. It draws a good line between cartoony and genuine. Yes, blue must be your favorite color.

[Darara's House]

I was thinking at first there were multiple people on this account. It seems like there are not, seeing as how you used the word "why". I wish I had some idea who Darara was. Maybe a character from Theia? You just did so much with that game, it's hard to not associate you with it. I love how curvy this picture looks.

No, I'm not referring to a pretty woman. It seems like the overall set is quite mundane, but the way it's structured has a more fantasy element to it. It looks like there's a skyscraper behind the house. There really are a lot of good colors here. I used to have some pastel colors of my own.

[Theia's Medals]

At first, I thought this was just a random set of monsters. I'm glad to now realize it had deeper purpose. I'm glad to have played that game. With all the audio submissions, it really shows. I think my favorite is probably the one in the lower left corner. It shows a good idea of victory.

It makes you appreciate how well the creatures are designed. A lot of them seem to have different styles here. I like how many expressions you can show with a character that doesn't really have a face. It's just fascinating. The low resolution one stands out the most.

[Pardo]

Nice to know you didn't just submit everything on the same day. Then again, you probably just made this over the course of awhile. I think the main character here was supposed to be like a crow. It's just something with his nose. Was this a self portrait? I don't seem to know of anyone named Pardo here.

The blue scarf makes him look almost like a blue jay. While this hasn't had that many views, the people who have seen it love it. I think his earlobe might be hanging down. With a score this high, I couldn't not love it. You seem to be fond of the color blue.

[The Crow War]

Okay, dude, I am not that big a fan of the crow series, but this was FANTASTIC!! While it's been awhile since it came out, I don't remember it being this epic. I wish I could remember the story more. It's weird, because the characters themselves still look cartoonish. They still manage to fit in with the finer details. I know this is just your second, but it's easily the best you've ever made.

I love the little clouds of smoke showing off the destruction everywhere. Nothing but black and white, but dang, is it wonderfully drawn! You really get to see the more refined parts of all of the crow's features. Even from behind, they are quite distinct. I love the two crows at the top of the page. Just a fantastic piece.

[Bosk]

Very wonderful piece. While you may not be that prolific on this website in terms of art, this is great for a first one. Blue is my favorite color next to orange. I wish I had some idea what "bosk" meant. The coloring is just fantastic here. I don't think this is supposed to be a metaphor for anything.

My favorite part is the way the shadows are shown. I just think it's wonderfully done. I always notice the little things like that. Even in Florida, it's pretty cold. Freezing is what I get from the blue.

[Abel]

I was thinking your latest submission would be another picture for Robot Day. It's still awesome as is all your other stuff. This reminds me of the voodoo priest from "Live And Let Die". Of course, I assume all voodoo priests look like that. It kind of looks more like a mask than facial paint. I think it's the latter.

Now I look more at this, it looks like most of the body is covered in that paint. I can see why this would look like Abel. I assume you mean Abel from the Bible. He probably was that colored. It's great to visualize a story so old.
