Ericho's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Days of the Week]

It would be easier to list the art pieces you've worked on that didn't get frontpaged. This is one big experiment for you. It's not just because of the different artwork style, but because this seems to reflect how you feel. At least you got some great art out of it. Tuesday seems to be the only one where you're not trying to kill yourself. It doesn't quite escalate that much.

Of course, it does in the end with the guillotine. The background is so wonderfully authentic. There's so much detail put into the frames. I like how they have these little skulls on them. Must have been tax week.

[EddsWorld]

I was thinking you were doing this is tribute to Edd who had died. I then realize that this was made before that happened. Nonetheless, it's a great picture. I'm fairly certain you are in fact trying to duplicate the Untoon effect. Again, this didn't come off as creepy. I think it's because you just have funny looking characters here.

Yeah, it is still pretty creepy. Puppets do kind of resemble the Untoon thing. I like how it focus on the UK, where Edd comes from. It looks like he only has three fingers. Now how useful could those be?

[Demon Portrait]

I love this because it is probably the most realistic picture you've ever drawn. It looks exactly how he woudl in real life. It reminds me of those "Untoon" pictures. This turned out to not be as scary, probably because it's someone who is supposed to be scary. There's so much detail put into every single spot and blemish on this dude's body. His mouth kind of reminds me of crayfish.

You get a good sense of how his horns are rocks. Well, maybe they aren't, but they certainly look hard. It's great to have a character who can be scary and cartoonish at the same time. I love this fire coming from his eyes. You know he's out to cause some commotion. Digital painting works great for you.

[Sun-Burnt]

Here's another great picture from you! I think what I like most is how it's something different. You've done some great pictures with the demons, but this is quite different. You could probably make this into a game as well. You just have so many pictures you could do anything with them. Orange is my favorite color. It seems like the Sun could be a demon killing someone.

The way you use just two colors (apart from black and white) is wonderful. It looks like most of this guy's body is already destroyed. It almost looks like exhaust from a race car. I love the little dots that go around everywhere. I've looked at webcomics that have similar styles.

[Brian's Pelican Tat]

This reminds me of the other art piece that was a tattoo. I now realize that it couldn't have been on skin as you can see one like here. Most likely it's a Photoshop creation. It's great that you did something nice for your friend. I don't know if I've ever seen a pelican look so glorious. Most of the ones I see are just goofy looking.

It appears to be on your friend's back. Again, I would probably never get a permanent one. It looks like the pelican has a tattoo or at least some ensigna on its chest. No, I can't tell if it's a male or female pelican. The moving lines look like spikes.

[Fat Factory]

I don't see why people don't like this picture. I guess it might be because it's pretty disgusting with all those fat people. From the title, I thought it would be a place where fat people were made. I guess that may in fact qualify. The thing is, they don't even seem to be in a location anywhere. It's just some random blue place.

They're probably so fat they just take up every space to make it an area (did I say that right?). I wish I had that red doughnut. It's interesting to see how the women have different boobs than the men. That one guy looks like he's taking a bite out of the cheese Moon. You seem to work best with blue in these pictures.

[Demon Poster]

I'm starting to recognize those pink guys a lot more. Hopefully, I managed to get the correct number of them in this picture at three. I don't even know what they are. This is another great picture simply because it shows the demon acting so cool. This is something awesome for not just Halloween, but any occasion. I guess that's why there's so many Halloween movies.

It fits the entire genre of horror, but I'm digressing. It's cool to see this green gas rising from him. It almost looks like he's a demon who's possessed by a demon! Have "Inception" jokes gotten old by now? The background's great too.

[No place to hide.]

I think this is the most viewed picture you've ever drawn. I think it's mostly because of how good you get the emotions down here. It's so funny to see a picture of the demon about to do someone in. Of course, in the games, they don't actually see him. It's still freaking awesome. I think the shading is absolutely flawless. The way you've put him in a cave just fits the mood perfectly.

It seems like this guy only has one facial expression. He's always in a situation where it fits him anyway! I guess it's suppose to be the same demon from the games. Or is it not the same demon in every game? Remember, they all look the same. Happy very belated Halloween!

[Demon Graveyard]

I think the strongest thing here is how well the demons contrast with the rest of the picture. Overall, it's pretty blurry compared to them. I now wanted to say that you show a lot of shots of these guys' butts. I think the shading is done very well. I've learned so much about your art style recently. It looks like a really nice canvas.

I realize that a lot of great things are done by just playing around with Photoshop or whatever program you use. You are one of the most prolific artists I've seen here. I like how it's enveloped in darkness. You get some strong emotion there. That's one malicious face.

[Orginail Characters on NG]

I think some of the characters look a bit strange, but for the most part, this is a great picture. It's because you know how to create such pride in this website. I think my favorite would have to be the Sushi cat. I just love how there's these little pieces of sushi floating around him. I didn't know the bird guy was that popular. Well, he did get high ratings.

The only one I can't seem to figure out is the guy on the lower left hand corner with the blue shirt. Maybe he's from "Cyaniade And Happiness". I like your inclusion of the hamster from Joe Cartoon. He didn't originate here, but I don't care. Leo looks so happy.
