Ericho's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[magic maus]

At first, I was confused as to why this has such a high rating. I mean, it's just the maus as the head of a giraffe. I am glad more went on. It really was magic! Well, at least as much as magic could be in a circus like setting. I assume that's where this guy is.

You could capitalize your letters. I liked the starry background. Apparently, that's how you spell "starry". I thought it was "stary". This face has been through a lot.

[knitting maus]

It was kind of obvious what would happen. I am glad you used white colors to show off the eyes. I guess this guy doesn't really have a mouth. Well, it isn't visible from this angle. I thought it was someone using surgical equipment at first. Those needles looked pretty sharp.

The hands could probably be better detailed. They look too different. The nails should be white. I know, I'm looking at my hands right now! This is just a quaint little thing.

[coconut maus]

At first, this seemed like a weak art entry. It did get a lot better as the action came on and the coconut got sliced in half. It's not much, but it's some variety. I liked the use of a machete. I normally only think of that as a weapon. I don't know if something with that shape could be called a coconut.

I guess it's silly to think it would be something else, but you never know. It's more like some genetically altered food. The little shading you had was good. It's enough for a single entry. I guess those things are fruits.

[art maus]

This should have been called "stick maus". Uh, hope I'm not giving anything away with that sentence. It's nice to see another character. I'm referring to the guy drawing. He himself is non standard to your designs. Then again, I've rarely seen your other stuff.

It's good to draw a bad depiction of yourself. It shows how you're not arrogant. The tip of his brush wasn't blue. I guess that's why the picture was so bad! You were busy July 28th.

[shark maus]

This was a little bit before you submitted your famous shark games here. Was this an inspiration? I doubt it as the games are much more detailed. I really was wondering how the face would be put in here. It's cool to imagine what it would be like under there. You know, with how the ears moved.

This seemed to be one of your longer gifs. Sharks are always fun to look at. I thought they were going to merge into something. They mostly stayed separate. This seems to be getting slower all the time.

Wiesi responds:

Oh I loved sharks even before I made the shark games. :)

[shadow maus]

This was fun because of how accurate it was. It makes me realize that I've never made shadow puppets before. I don't think I've ever even seen someone do it. I went to camp numerous times. You'd think they'd have some there. The hands are drawn pretty realistically.

They have five fingers unlike the four fingers we saw earlier. I think that is how you'd make a shadow puppet like that. I don't know how pronounced the fingers would be. July 28th was a busy day for you! You had a lot of spurts like this.

[bubble maus]

Those bubbles are really cute. It does remind me of the days when I was a little kid and blew them up all the time. That now sounds dirty. I'm not sure if this guy is supposed to be any specific character. He looks like just a representation of your work. That's quite appropriate for the bubbles.

The bottle looks like a giant tube of lipstick. So is this supposed to be a horse man? You said the design was based off a horse. I don't know if I've ever seen him flesh colored like this before. He does have many appearances.

[ivy maus]

I guess now you're separating the word "maus" from the rest of the word. This was kind of unexpected. I was expecting to see more of the face. I thought maybe you could have different shades of ivy. They would create a mouth and eyes. Well, the eyes are more important.

The brick wall is a new setting. I'd think it would be more appropriate for a forest. I think the ivy is growing from the brick wall. There's no other way it could support itself. I know you'll never run out of these.

[toast maus]

Wow, this is your highest ranked art piece ever! I think it might even be the highest ranked thing you ever worked on! I admit that I don't really see why. I knew what was going to happen. It's still pretty nicely done toast, though. It moves at a good rate.

It doesn't seem as toasted as most toast. Then again, I don't know how the heat distribution would work there. I don't even have a toaster any more. It still looks pretty tasty. You certainly have a distinct style.

[deep sea maus]

Congratulations on your highest ranked art piece. My laptop is just slow I guess. It worked out for me, because I got to see everything get darker and darker. The shadings were great. I had absolutely no idea how the logo was going to show up. It's easily the most unexpected of them.

There's more interaction than usual here. The reflections are good. You can just see every detail in this and I realize how it was hard to make. That certainly got deep fast. Whatever it is, it's well done.
