Ericho's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Tiki]

I thought this was a good picture, but I couldn't really understand it. I really got the idea that this was supposed to be part of a bigger picture. It's always interesting to look back at the stuff you used to work on. I truly have no clue what is going on here. I'm thinking the wooden thing is supposed to represent one of the knights.

I guess it couldn't, because it was made before the Castle Crashers series even existed. It seems like some Native American type thing. I like the half mask he's wearing. It makes no sense, but is still good. I wish I knew how to take old drawings and submit them as art pieces here.

[Parrot]

I was quite interested as to what this animal would be. The thumbnail made it look like it was something you made up. Of course, it turned out to be a colorful bird known as a parrot. It looks like he's wearing a suit or something. To think, most people make that jokes about penguins. Color is everything in the animal world.

It seems like the plants around him form a venus fly trap. That isn't good. Anyway, it's nice to have that effect like you did with the previous pictures. Well, this was an interesting little run for me to look through. I hope you had fun with it.

[Frog]

I think this is a pretty good picture. It's interesting to see how many animals you were willing to draw. This isn't one of the cuter ones. It's just that I can't find anything particularly bad about it. I like how he has his tongue licking his mouth or maybe he's just sticking it out. Maybe the frog isn't even a "he".

I like how he has different colored spots on the different colored parts of his body. The lilypads are centered around him pretty nicely too. I hope something came out of this series. It's cool how the reflection is like what's on the logo. This is a nice picture.

[Bunny]

Yeah, it's pretty easy to tell that this is a pretty long series. I think the best thing about this is how you have a bunny on it! Say what you will about pands or monkeys, they ain't as cute as bunnies! It helps that you have these great blue eyes on him. His cotton tail seems a little off, though. Anyway, I hope you had some success with these!

They are certainly cute enough to make animal lovers feel good. I happen to be one myself. The shading (or rather layers) are starting to make more sense. I see the heart paw again. Okay, this HAS to be intentional.

[Monkey]

You should have said, "Yet another one". Of course, I think the word "yet" can be applied to the second line in something. I don't know, I'm not a linguist. Anyway, I think this was better than the previous drawing. It's mostly because you get a better drawing. This doesn't appear to be a baby monkey.

I like how there are so many different colors in this, like the blue tree. I can see a cloud that looks like the whale from one of the previous pictures. I'm not sure if that was intentional. I love how silly this guy looks. This is a pretty cute picture.

[Panda]

This seems to be made in the same style as the whale. I'm not sure if this was meant to be part of something. I think the biggest weakness here was that it wasn't anything new. You just can't create as much atmosphere on land as you can with the ocean. Not that I'm saying it can't be done well. It just isn't necessary here.

Of course, it's nice for you to pay admit to Nature's cutest creatures. He seems to have these three tufts of fur all over his body. I get a more abstract sense of shading. I like how his paw is like a heart. I think that was intentional.

[Whale]

This wasn't great, but I enjoyed looking at this. That has to be the first time I said that in an art review. Looking back, it seems like a pretty obvious thing to say. Anywho, it was nice to see such a cute design. I keep being reminded of the Twitter whale. I don't know if that guy has any special name. I love how he looks like a baby here with his single tooth sticking out.

There was at least some detail put into the shades of the ocean. He almost looks like a bath toy. Dang, I never really had any of those. Whales generally don't have spots. Of course, they're generally not cartoon drawings either.

[Gorkey]

Heh, I don't understand what's the point of making a monkey and gorilla hybird. Monkeys and gorillas are already primates. Then again, so are humans. That thing has some stiff nipples. I wonder if those guys (or girls) put starch in those things? I think a better idea would have been a gorilla tiger hybrid.

Or at least a gorilla and a hybrid of some big land carnivore, like a bear. Perfect! He's orange, which happens to be my favorite color. He looks more like a big monkey. Gorillas aren't orange, of course.

[vertically challenged]

This is really good stuff. It's pretty funny to see all of these pop culture icons together. It makes you realize what vertically challenged people have contributed to society, or at least what they do in fiction. I especially like how everyone has a different expression. It's fun to see how these guys look. You have shown, once more, how good you can be with one color.

I think my favorite would be the Irish Gold Hider. That one seems like the most detailed. It's interesting to see one person's take on drawing so many different characters. You get to see the artist's unique style with that. Hey, everything's in lower case, hee hee.

[Pico School Redesign]

I like this one more than the previous picture. It's weird how this has a lower rating, I believe. This is a nice little groupshot because of how it treats all its characters equally. Nene looks like she has stereotypical Asian teeth. I thought she was supposed to be Hispanic or something? You show some good designs with their pants.

They look pretty psychotic here. While not one of my favorite Pico pictures, it's still worth checking out. These are kids who look like they're ready to attack. I imagine Darnell is going to be hiding a lighter or something fire-related behind his back. Nene just wants to hang herself.
