Ericho's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Fernando The Squidhunter]

I am a huge fan of GreasyMoose (or whatever his name is) and this is freaking awesome. It is one of the best drawings I have ever seen in my life. I'm not sure if this is supposed to be a giant squid or just a regular squid. It's bringing me back to the cartoons so much. I'm not that bad of a fan of this guy, but you made him glorious! This is what one of those Untoon images should look like.

The shading and lighting effects are absolutely gorgeous in this. The ropes almost look like claws on the side of the spear. The focus isn't just on him. It's a focus on everything in the picture and how it works so well with itself. You are probably the best CGI artist on this website. I love your works.

[Keramik]

I guess I did not like this as much as most people did. I don't recall seeing this character. Of course, you haven't made a lot of submissions since the Art Portal showed up anyway. It looks like this was supposed to be an elephant. It kind of looks like something from "Adventure Time!". Then again, that show's so surreal any bizarre design could look like it.

I don't know why there are two figures in the back. There really are some pretty subtle things in here. It looks like the hooves are like shoes, but I don't know how those would look like in real life. The little bits of hair are a nice touch. The white stuff on the face made him look Native American.

I think this is probably my favorite in the Pikachu drawing series. I don't know why, it just comes off as so funny to me. I think it's because he looks so small in this. Small is a good indicator of cuteness. He wasn't so much cute in this, as he was funny. I'm still not understanding these names.

Of course, if I judged something on not being able to understand it, I wouldn't love YTP. He almost looks like a bear in this one. It's weird to see his butt chin being flattened out like that. He has one of those in all of these pictures. The red swirls are really cute too.

[emoticons]

I'm generally not a fan of pictures of emoticons, but this worked really well for me. I guess it's just because I go on the forum a lot and I recognize these guys. The one I use most is probably the Happy face one. That was mostly in my early days, where I just wanted to make a good impression. That dude must've been beaten badly for the blood to come out of his face.

There's a few that aren't there. There's one that's blushing, which I used recently. Yeah, don't ask me about that. Of course, that's pretty much what I already said in the post that I used it. The background is really nice too.

This is a good picture in itself even if it doesn't make much sense. This reminds me of those YT videos where it's just Pikachu's face and a song he sings. He is a "he", BTW, at least in the anime as confirmed in one episode about an evil Togepi, I think. Yeah, that happened. I think it's weird how he has this human face. That was of course the point of the picture.

He doesn't seem to have a nose that sticks out much here. Of course, I imagine it's hard to do that with an image like this. Glad to know you're a pokemon fan. Or at least that you enjoy making pictures or had to or something. Yeah, I overanalyze things.

[pendashcore]

I'm not sure what the title means. I imagine since it has an "Ash" in there, it was meant to be about Ash, specifically his Pikachu. It's interesting to see you work on a new set of things. I do have little clue as to what this is for. Eh, pictures here aren't usually for anything anyway. Those eyebrows look scary.

In fact, Pikachu looks pretty scary with no eyes. Are they supposed to be sunken in? It's weird to have him with such a big butt chin. Actually, I think most of us have that to a certain extent. He looks like wallpaper.

[La Fille du Marais]

It's interesting when you have titles in a foreign language. I imagine it's French for "girl from the swamp". I must have seen your work before, because this definitley seems familiar. I do think this girl is drawn a bit strangely. Her head just seems a bit too big for her body. It's still a wonderful picture.

I think she may have a toad or something on her back. It's probably more that she's dressed like a toad. It's weird how she just wears so little clothing in the middle of her body while the rest is well covered. Are those magnifying glasses on her back? It's weird, but good.

[iFlash]

This is a very cool picture. I guess it's kind of weird to have something about Flash not actually be a cartoon in itself. Then again, you could say that about any drawing. You really captured how people devote themselves to things like this. Seeing as how you've made dozens of submissions, you would know. Phew, you're finally past June 20th!

This does come off as a bit creepy. I guess it's because of how fazed out the rest of the face looks. Hopefully, this person isn't possessed. Neither should you. You really are good with closeups.

[sqee]

I admit that I don't really know what to think of this one. It's just a single image of a faceless block boy. Was there some deeper meaning I was missing? It reminded me of the character known as "Squee" from Johnny The Homicidal Maniac. In fact, is this the same character? You are known for omitting the letter U.

Now that I think about it, this was probably meant to be you. You should have put some background on this. It looks blank enough already with the character's face. Well, technically, he doesn't have a face. Dang, were you busy on 6/20/2009.
