Ericho's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Headache]

I think this is a very good picture. I swore I've seen something like this before, but I must not have reviewed it. It's weird, because the blonde woman looks that the brain on her head didn't even come from her. It seems more like one that stumbled on her. Anyway, I was thinking it would be more satrical, but it's still a nice picture. It's a creative idea.

I imagine our brain would be the organ that would take us over the most. I really like the background in this. It seems like something you would see in a movie poster decades ago. I just realized 1993 is "decades ago". I am old.

[Don't rain on my parade...]

I couldn't really see how this was that unique. You do do a good job of using the same color. I'm saying this because it isn't just the color blue. You also show good strokes with the people depicted here. I don't think I've ever seen a black clown. I should have known this was going to be a contest entry.

I can pretty much guarantee that it's always going to be one. I think the hair comes off as pretty blue here. I imagine the color is supposed to reflect the mood of the band. I wish they were as happy as the balloon. I wonder what the biggest balloon is?

[Pico Duel]

I was thinking that this was something made for Pico Day and I was right. It's just nice to see something being done in the style of an old Western. They rarely make movies like that anymore. I think it's especially cool to see his orange beard. I guess he might qualify as a ginger. I like the rising sun in the background.

While there's no action, it tells a good enough story on its own. I think you do enter more contests than anyone I've seen here. I hope you got success with some of them. The clouds are nicely shaded too. Pico looks like a leprechaun, minus the height. Or should I say, plus the height?

[Captain Coronary]

I guess it could be worse. It could result in Captain Coronary getting beat up by his enemy. I think this is a pretty witty piece of satire. I believe this is what's called satire, correct? I appreciate the drawings of the veins/arteries in the background. The most enjoyable part form this comes from the author comments.

He actually seems to be kind of muscular. Well, that's most likely just fat. Either way, he's big. It was a good idea to make his costume red because that's the color of blood. He doesn't look too old in terms of hair color.

[Oriental Mask Tattoo]

I was thinking that this was something you did for an old class. It certainly seemed older than usual. I am impressed because I think this is the first time I've reviewed a tattoo. I myself would never get one. I just don't like the idea of permanent stuff on me. Anyway, this is a very nice design. I can't even recognize your standard style at all.

I imagine that's supposed to be hair, but it resembles tentacles. It looks like it could be the head of a dragon as opposed to a mask. Of course, it could also be a dragon mask. Was this wood you made this on? It certainly doesn't look like skin.

[Beast 0f 9: Hunter - Gatherer]

Now this is what I call an experiment! It seems like you enter every freaking contest out there. You've made so many drawings, I guess it only makes sense. It looks like this guy is part chicken. Upon closer inspection, the white parts appear to be towels, which I guess are meant to hold his parts together. I think the feathers are done quite well.

Does this have something to do with that "9" movie? Looking back, I should have seen that. It looks like something from a stop motion movie. Either that or a CGI movie meant to look like stop motion. The mist makes him look cool.

[2010 NG calender entry]

Yes, I find this to be a better picture. It's because you focus more on your own characters. It's interesting to recognize these guys from all the previous games. Then again, I think there were all just in that one game. It was easily the longest game you ever did with the most characters. How does Luke tell these guys apart?

I just noticed there are two blue dogs. Of course, there's also two pink, whatever those things are. The Grim Reaper looks so funny with blue clothes and yellow teeth. I think he should appear more often. Oh wait, now there's four of those pink things.

[Newgrounds Calender '09 Entry]

I thought that the alien showed in this was supposed to be the demon from "Reincarnation". I think it is in fact just the shading. It would have been cool if that was meant to be a combination of the two characters. Pico looks pretty angry. I guess you're just really good with using the same color. You could have had the demon to win.

I think that's a good idea because it's a character you created yourself. It would add more variety. I can see now that they're all coming from a big dust cloud. The tank man appears to be more black than purple. I think that's more about the lack of a purple background. The fingers look good.

[My Destiny]

How does this only have a 3.75?! I think this is one of the best things you've submitted here! I think what I like most about it is how gorgeous the color and overall setting is. I don't really understand what's going on. It's more ambiguous than your other pictures. That "Y" looks a bit too much like a "V". Wow, did I just list reasons why this doesn't have a higher rating?

It looks like there's an island of some sort. I'm thinking it might not be one, but actually a giant creature. It appears to take place on the sea. Wait, now I see someone's holding it, so it must be on the ground. You're good at covering things up, if that was your intention.

[Self Portrait]

Wow, I think I've forgotten what it is you look like. You just are much more known for your games than anything else. I have seen your face before and this is quite authentic. I had a feeling you did this in a drawing and not on the computer. I wish I was in art classes since being introduced to the Internet. You might say the same thing.

I like how you have this happy feeling on. The only thing wrong is that you seem to have too long a nose. I like how there's a lot of detail in the hair. That's something on my body that I always know looks so specific. I don't even know what sumo ink is.
