Ericho's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[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.

[Pico Redesign 01]

Yeah, I didn't think that much of it, but this is still decent. It's interesting to see how everyone has their own take on Pico. Unlike the Clock Crew, the designs of the individual in question are quite different. I'm not sure if this was ever used in your Pico cartoon. It's stuff like this that makes me sad Pico Day has lost so much popularity. We will always have fanart of it.

He looks pretty casual in this. I imagine that's a big eraser in the back of the scene. It's been so long since I've seen those. Orange is my favorite color while green is my brother's favorite. That may be a part of why I like this design. He looks fine without pupils.
