Ericho's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[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.

[Outcast]

I'm glad you came back for 2011's Robot Day! While not one of your best (which pretty much says NOTHING), this is wonderfully done. You truly get a sense of feeling for the robot. You can only vaguely see the place he's going from. The robot doesn't seem to have a face. You still manage to give him so much personality in this picture!

He looks only partly bult. Good thing he's apparently waterproof. I like how the land and water are seperated. It seems a lot like something that would be in an ocean, but it's in a much smaller place here. You get a true humanistic sense here.

[Super Nova]

This is your highest rated art piece and I can definitley see why! Dude, you seriously have to go into CGI with your submissions here! It's been so long, it seems like you would be used to the technology. It's almost kind of sad, because I realize I will never be as good as this. The uses of green and blue are completely flawless. This is my favorite art piece of yours.

I like how you can see some land on the planet. The Sun shines so brightly it's illuminating the entire...sky? (what would you call that in space?). The ships are also fantastically designed. It seems like a screenshot of the best animated film ever! You rule now and forever, dude!

[Memento]

Your father? I thought this was supposed to be made in the likeness of Captain Picard. Looking at it up close, I do see a lot of differences. It must be cool to have a dad who looks like him! It's so wonderful you made a tribute to him. I think this may even be the first time I reviewed an art piece with someone making a likeness of his or her dad.

I may have seen tributes, but not like this. I like how he looks so stern. It seems just like what would be in an actual museum. Heck, I bet you'd probably make a good sculptor in real life! Everything's art, you know.

[Watchout]

I honestly wasn't thinking Iron Man. I was thinking more about the robots that appeared in "I, Robot". I know see more of what you were talking about with the hand on its hand. Here is another flawless picture from you. What I really like about it is how it looks so human. It looks like it's wearing clothing.

It somewhat feels wrong to call this robot an "it". She has so much personality. I love how the background colors change. I also love the little sparks that are flying around the bottom. It's just a gorgeous picture all around. I can see why it's so highly rated.

[Minotaur]

I'm normally not someone who's a fan of photos, but this was fantastic! Is it in fact not a drawing? If it is, it's one of the best art pieces ever made. You seem to have put a lot of detail into that costume. I like the way you signed the drawing. That might be the most popular tattoo design ever made.

You really have some great wallpaper there. You would probably make a good DJ. You're so talented in pretty much every other area! I don't know how you got the fur on your arms. Amazing as always.
