Ericho's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Psyche]

This is one of your best pieces! I think the reason it's so good is because it's so creative. I admit that I can see that it was made a couple of years ago. It's amazing to see how quickly we advance Photoshop technology or as you say it "photoshoop". This seems like it is a study of someone's pysche. I also got the feeling of being in space.

There's just so much going here here and it doesn't make sense. It's a great represenation of the human brain. Then again, it also gives off a feeling of chaos. Of course, who says the two can't be related? The colors are great.

Well, I don't know what this was all about either. It seems like just a sign that doesn't seem to mean anything. You even yourself seem puzzled at it. I'm sorry, I don't find it appealing. It does have its good points. The way the spots of paint are drawn very well.

At least I HOPE that's supposed to be paint. I don't know what you have against coat hangers. I'm guessing there was something disturbing to this, particularly with the red colors. You could have used a background. You do get some more points for acknowledging how non sequitor it is.

[GanjaFarma]

What a coincidence. I was just talking to my brother about marijuana. Dang, you made a ton of pictures in 2006. Is this the only website where you showed them all off? I just love to see how happy everyone looks. I don't know if plants could count as "everyone", whatever. The picture implies I shouldn't think hard about this.

I love the background. It seems like one of those optical illusions where it can only go one way. Did you have some good times with pot? I like how they all have unique designs. I just like how the appendages (if that's what you could even call them) extend like that.

[Venceremos]

I hope this does your dead relative good. I don't understand this picture, but it's very well drawn! I think my favorite part is how there's always someone zanier coming out on top. There's a total of four creatures on top of each other here. Gee, that sounds dirty. I think those words are in Spanish. That year in Spanish was so wasted as I've said before.

The designs vaguely reminded me of Jhonen Vasquez. I guess it's because the monkey reminds me of Gir in his dog suit. It's interesting to see how it goes out of focus at the top of the picture. I think they're looking up at the sky. It's neat how you make your own story with this.

[smokinAce]

This is a good picture, but it's not one of your best. I couldn't really understand the theme of this well. Was it something to do with being a young rebel? Whatever the reason, it's a decent picture. I like how there's no background except for the one created with the smoke. The shadings were pretty good in this.

I think it might have worked better if you had shown the eyes. At least the title lives up to itself. Dang, this is some more of your old stuff. I thought you had already finished it in June. I can tell it's an early picture, as it doesn't seem to have your style.

[vio]

I agree with most people that this isn't that good. It is, however, pretty interesting to see where you got started. We all started off doing things we're not proud of. It's weird to see something from 2005. It must be interesting to have kept this the entire time. At first, I thought this was Rapunzel from "Tangled".

I don't think so, because the movie was not even out at the time. Maybe you got some preview images? Anyway, this is quite mediocre. I can't tell if that's meant to be a pillow or her clothes. It's kind of dirty, now that I think about it.

[IRL Vector 04]

I'm surprised that this does not have a higher rating. I think this is one of your best pictures. I just love the idea of having a painting over a painting. It reminds me of how my mom has done a lot of work with paintings. It's hard to tell if this is from real life. I think it is not because at least one of those layers looks too cartoonish.

You could have put this up for Valentine's Day. Then again, it's such a great painting, it could apply to anything. I like how cute everything is drawn. A flying heart is just a pleasant image to me. I could guess what the title would be.

[IRL Vector 03]

Well, it's safe to say that this was another series of yours. You've consistently made them well. I really have no idea what this is supposed to be. It looks like it could be a deviled egg. It sounds like something from a Kilgore Trout book. Trout is a character who appears in numerous Kurt Vonnegut works. Dang, it's been forever since I've read him.

A real person took on his identity and made "Venus On The Half Shell" (alright, enough of that). This is a good drawing particuarly with how you see all the stratches in the object. I imagine it was supposed to be a stone sculpture. Again, it's hard to tell. Okay, I'm sure it's a deviled egg now.

[IRL Vector 02]

I didn't think this was as good as your previous entry, but it's still pretty fun to look at. It works because it seems quite ambiguous again. It just doesn't seem as deep as the other entry. I'm kind of confused as to who is who in this. It looks like the window frame itself is the muscle man. Yeah, I should have looked at the author comments better.

It's an image that just doesn't seem to make much sense with me. I don't know what's with the bits of white. He looks more like a guillotine here. Surrealism is always appreciated if it's well drawn. The black stuff on the bottom look like Tankmen.

[IRL Vector 01]

Wow, this is a really cool drawing. I'm not even quite sure what you're trying to capture here. It's the kind of thing where it seems to be better off ambiguous. It looked like you were trying to go into this character's head. I'm thinking maybe the theme was about how lost he was in himself. The imagery is wonderful.

While strange, it's still worth checking out. You really do know how to experiment with vectors. I can see now you got into submitting stuff that's new. I praise you for your prolificness. I mean, I would know what that's like.
