Ericho's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[progression of Tekkiin]

It was truly great to see how you made this great picture. There doesn't even seem to be a point in the final picture existing anymore! It's right here! I have seen dozens, if not hundreds of videos about drawing. I've still never used it myself. Yeah, you could consider it a spectator sport for me.

I still think the guy with the purple clothes looks like Tingle. It's really fascinating to see such a gradual progression. The second frame does seem a bit rushed, though. That one guy looks like he has a mask of some sort or goggles. It already looks finished in the second to last one. You're awesome!

[sketches]

I think these are very cool to look at. They work a lot better than the previous entry, because of how they're placed out in real life. They seem more authentic that way. I love collages and this seems more organized. I just now noticed all the shadow puppets you're making, if that's your intention. Again, I have tons of these lying around.

We artists all did these sorts of things at times. I certainly can't make heads or tails of anything here. I imagine that neither can you. I think my favorite is the one in the middle on the top with the big face. I think you're imitating some optical illusion.

[linearts]

It seems like this was in fact something you just put together for a compilation. I thought the one girl in the middle was supposed to be Kitara. In fact, I can't seem to recognize most of these figures. What does make it are the things going on in the background. You should have made that the focus of the picture. Then again, that would have negated the point of a compilation.

It's always nice to see how far you've come with something. I can at least recognize StrawberryClock and the other clocks. There has to be a depiction of yourself somewhere in here. I used to draw sketches all the time as a kid. If only I knew how to submit them to the Art Portal.

[victor gran]

I have to admit this came off as too strange to me. I have always loved abstract art. Okay, not always, but this didn't come off so much as abstract as it did, well, weird. It was just a single image. It seems like the better thing to do would have been to have more objects in the picture. To your credit, there do seem to be some images in the object itself.

It's like seeing things in clouds. I'm thinking of a frozen Darth Vader, like on Hoth. That would out of place, wouldn't it? It looks like an iceberg that has the shadows of stairs on it. I don't know what the "gran" means.

[Clockday 2009]

Wow, this is a freaking awesome sketch! It's hard to even tell that it's a Clock related one at first. Everything just seems so blurred you can't tell. That's probably the only reason I didn't give this the full five stars. It's still a fantastic image, though. I just love trying to find out what's going on. Wait, isn't that the opposite of what I just said?

Everything just seems so monstrous here. I imagine this takes place in a jungle of some kind. It even looks like there could be numerous StrawberryClocks you're killing. I mean, I think that's what's happening. Someone is definitley being destroyed here.

[if I had an avatar]

That's funny, I thought you did in fact have an avatar here. I guess most people were just expecting this picture to be better. It's still decent for what it is. It's hard to believe there was a time before both the movie and the animated show where the word Avatar actually had that meaning. You do put some nice details in this. I like how you seem to just laugh in the face of pain.

Well, not laugh, but smile. That makes me think of something I never really thought of before. Is your name pronounced Squeezy or Skeezy? I don't know what background you're using, but it's nice. It holds like you're holding something, no wait, that's part of your shirt.

[newborn]

"Quickie" just sounds like something dirty. Anyway, I think this is a really neat drawing. While not that great, it works because of what it shows. I admit that fetus soup is a freaking scary idea to me. I like how the fetus exists in another square. It looks like an alien.

Then again, I think most fetuses resemble aliens before they are fully developed. The umbilical cord almost looks like a tail. It's hard to make out from a certain angle. There could have been more detail, but I just find this to be a tender picture. Well, until I read the author comments of course.

[TakeMeSomewhereNice]

Is Violaine your girlfriend? If she's related to you, then I seriously regret saying that. I like how hopeful this picture is, with how she's being led to the light. Besides that, I don't find it all that unique. Of course, this probably wasn't trying to do anything that innovative. Her fingernails look like they're painting black.

I like all the little things going on. I like how her hat just seems to show off in the wind. You get an interesting perspective with the shading on his face. Even the title is sincere. It's just an all around pleasant image.

[23HappyPills]

I'm beginning to see that these are all about 23 in some way. Hey, I only counted sixteen pills! Are there more that are hidden perhaps? Anyway, this was a nicely done picture. I couldn't help but make you lose some points for seemingly saying bad things about pills. I owe to life to stuff like that.

Okay, I don't want to get into political stuff here. I just want to praise you for having a nice picture. That guy doesn't seem to have much of a body left. I like how the green paint drips. Okay, now I KNOW this is paint.

[23CircleOfHype]

Here we get yet another intriguing scope into the human mind! I couldn't help but think there was something dirty in here. It's mostly because I remember seeing a somewhat similar image of the brain with pieces of brain having sex with it. Yeah...sorry for painting that picture. It's interesting to make out the different parts. I can see at least two eyes in there.

I don't see where the "23" comes from. Hopefully, it has nothing to do with that bad Jim Carrey movie. I think most of it is just meant to be random swirls. There are a bunch of arrows pointing out. The red makes it scary.
