Ericho's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Game01 ProductionArt v0.01]

While not great, this definitley looks like it could go somewhere. It looks like this project never came to fruitation, or at least not so far. Duke Nukem taught us anything can come out. It's interesting to try to understand the themes of this game. It's like you're playing against your shadow self. It's like something from a Deepak Chopra book.

Is that supposed to be a pool of blood? I hope someone didn't injure the Sun like in "Madness Combat". I imagine the black head icon is supposed to be the number of lives you have. I'll be eager to play this game. It's been awhile since you've made a game here.

[blueloo Shirtdesign]

I have to admit that this is probably the weakest art piece you ever submitted. I don't like it because there isn't much going on. The previous picture was better because it at least tried to tell a joke. Of course, you do describe it as simple yourself in the comments. It just doesn't seem suitable for an entire submission. Again, you've just drawn so much better than this.

I guess this was meant to be a more serious picture. I couldn't understand any deeper message. The guy reminds me of the Easter Island heads. The shirt itself doesn't look that good. Well, you have dozens more pictures.

[bgrab Shirtdesign]

That seems like it would make a good T-shirt. It probably would have worked better if you used an actual picture of it. You make tons of stuff, surely you can make that! I can see people getting into trouble with this. I guess the pink color is supposed to make it all the more ironic or whatever. Good thing I don't have boobs.

Good thing people don't stick their shirts on certain parts of other people's bodies. Like most people, I think this is a weak art piece. It's just a single joke with nothing else. It's a bit amusing to watch, but not for long. At least you can design T-shirts.

[dino]

At first, this didn't appear to be anything that good. While I still don't like it that much, I do notice the white outline on the rest of the T-rex's body. Dang, Nostalgia Critic's "Jurassic Park" review got me in the mood. I used to love dinosaurs as a kid. Most of the things I enjoyed involved them. But I digress, this is a nice picture.

Again, it mostly works because you use negative space so well. This must be a photograph. It looks like there's a zipper or something on the dinosaur's head. Is that meant to be another dinosaur with its teeth? While incomplete, it's still unique (heh, rhymes).

[sbcscape]

I can see why people didn't like this as much as your other pics. I am one of those people. I think the main flaw was that you didn't have a lot of organization. Normally, ommitting the black lines is a good thing, but I think in this case you would have benefited from it. I don't know what those silhouettes are supposed to be in the lower right hand corner. I don't know what's going on.

The best thing is probably the ship. It looks like it's decaying as it's flying away. It seems like it could even be a spaceship which I guess would make some sense in the sky. I don't know what that gust on the right is. I can see some red shape, maybe another Clock?

[oneEyedPearlHunter]

This is a wonderful picture! When I first saw the title, I thought it was going to be something dirty. Maybe because of the one eye or...forget it. It looks like there's another pearl in the background. I'm thinking that's maybe supposed to represent the top of the ocean, but then why it is circular? I just think it's an original idea.

I thought this guy was supposed to be an octopus or some kind of cephalopod. He looks more humanoid and might even be wearing clothes upon closer inspection. I like how the whole thing is one big long word. This thing seems to have bones or something, it's hard to tell. It's worth checking out.

[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.
