Ericho's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Sky Turtle]

I think this is a lovely picture. It somewhat reminded me of "Avatar: The Last Airbender". Granted, that might only be because a picture of Aang is in the related stuff. I couldn't help but think this was a reference to some mythology. I can now understand it more that I've read the author's comments. Yeah, those are even important in art pictures.

I just loved the way you depicted such an oppurtunistic world. The shading is absolutely flawless. I'm surprised it does not have a higher rating. I don't know why an arch would be in the middle of the sky, but it's awesome. I hope you have a wonderful life as should I.

[Gish 2 (character art)]

I'm not that familiar with the Gish series, but this is a great piece nonetheless. I really can't seem to recognize most of these characters. I do recognize the guy who's spitting blood out (I think it's blood at least). That might only be because it's the thumbnail of one of your games. There really are some unique designs in this. I notice some similar looking characters, but it doesn't matter.

You really did catch the madness some people experience through abortion and pregnancy here. I believe that's what this is supposed to be about. The little black things with tentacles remind me of "The Wolverine". Yeah, you might want to see it. I think they represent different parts of the reproductive system.

[LuisC]

I admit that I don't really know who's who in this. I imagine one of these guys is Luis and one of them is you. Whatever the notion is, it's a nicely done picture. It's cool how you put stuff together to honor others you admire. I'm pretty sure Luis is the guy in the blue shirt or hood or whatever it is. Dang, it seems like everyone is afraid of hoodies lately.

I like how this has depth, especially with the "Luis" logo at the top. It looks like someone is eating someone else. I imagine those are supposed to be the same people in some parts. The guy on the left end looks Asian. I'm not racist, just pointing something out.

[Castle Crashers Portraits]

Dude, this is freaking unbelievable! I was originally going to pass through reviewing this because it seemed familar to me. Thank God it was something truly new and innovative! I just love how no two of these guys are alike. Did you run out of rows and numbers for these guys? Eh, I don't care. This is a wonderful way of showing uniqueness.

Are you seriously capable of unlocking all of these characters in the game itself? Dang, I need to play the console version! You not only have a different helmet for everybody, but a different suit. Well, the alien technically has neither. I believe the pink one is supposed to be the girl. Usually men are covered in kisses.

[Teekkiin]

I can see why it would be your most detailed vector to date. What I really love about this is how you use colors so wonderfully. You get a fantastic sense of being off in some amazing world. Actually, what makes that cool is that you don't really need to go to a supernatural place for that. This looks like a scenario that could play out in real life. Everything is shaded flawlessly.

I couldn't help but think the guy in the lower left hand corner looks like Tingle. It looks like these guys are all standing on ships. What's weird is that the ships all appear to be on land. Did I mention the background is GORGEOUS? I think it's cool to see all the pyramids back there. This is your best art piece I've seen so far.

Sqeezy responds:

I love your reviews. They are so detailed and full of thoughts. <3 Thanks

[The Heart of Saturday Night]

Wow, I am quite impressed by this. By the description, I thought you were saying at first that both Death and Bitterness were in this picture. Since there was no one with a scythe, I guess I was wrong. It seems like this is an image a lot of people can associate with. We have all had our days where everything just seemed to go wrong. Or maybe it was a metaphor for how smoking kills people?

The shading is wonderful in this as well. You get the sense that you're up close and in the action. Bitterness' skull seems to have a red tint to it. In fact, I seem to notice that a lot in drawings like this. Neither of the people look all that bitter. I guess that's hopeful.

[5enseless]

Wow, I think this is cool because you can figure out what it is all of the characters do or rather, what they don't do. It's obvious the guy on the left hand side can't see. I'm guessing the guy with no arms can't touch? I was thinking he also couldn't taste because of how his mouth was bandaged. I think the Asian has headphones on, so he can't hear. I would have liked to see this turn into a real project.

It's too bad you put it in a blank background. The previous picture was better because it had one. All of these characters seem to be quite unique. I imagine the short one is modeled after Krillin. Of course, I think that's actually just a generic appearance many Buddhists take on.

[People as Places as People]

This was a wonderful picture, but my only problem is that I couldn't understand its title. I was thinking they were supposed to represent places or something, but I couldn't tell which. For some reason, Russia just popped into my mind. Maybe it's the red tint. Even though I don't understand it, it is a well done picture. There's a lot of emotion in their faces.

There's even a guy who only has half of his face shown and you can still see good emotion there. It probably takes place in someplace cold, because it looks like these guys have colds. Again, it's mostly the red stuff. I don't know what the metal thing the one guy has on his back is.

[FreedomFighters]

You're pretty amazed just how creative this is. The fact that it's in the first out of nearly a hundred makes it all the more impressive. I knew you had made a lot of stuff here. I kept thinking that these were all supposed to be Newgrounds icons. I can't recognize any of them except for StrawberryClock and the fat Mario. These almost look like characters from Adventure Time.

Or, to be more precise, they look like fanart from Adventure Time. I guess I'm just thinking about the guy with the orange clothes looks like Finn. I would have loved to see this project! Or play it, if it was supposed to be a game. I especially like the ghost with the Jamaicain hat on.

[Reincarnation Banner]

I was thinking this might just be a banner for an upcoming game. I'm fairly certain it's one for a game in general. I think it's great to portray the characters like this. It's really cool how cute the little pink guys look in this. I HAVE to find out what those things are. The demon looks like he's going through some bad time himself.

I hope Luke isn't mad at him for anything. He might be on a pile of dead leaves. That seems to fit in with the theme of the games. That might be something a lot more disgusting like a dead body. I'm glad to have seen and reviewed all of your creations!
