Ericho's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

[ponkiatcho]

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.
