Ericho's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[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.

[Snow White]

Wow, here is another great art piece! I can't believe you did this a long time ago. It seems so new! You really went out of your way to experiment with your art style here. I like how you show her with a bite taken from the apple. It's as if she's crying because she knows she's going to sleep. Or maybe die.

I'm not sure what version you're referring to here. I don't even know much about the original one. It's kind of creepy, but wonderfully done with how she seems to be crying blood. I like the darkness of the forest. This could still be used for something if you used your imagination. The heart on the clothes is nice too.

[Monkey Island LeChuck HD]

Ah yes, I remember a contest going around with people doing this. You don't, however, seem to mention it so maybe it isn't related to it. I think this is really cool because you're using a character who isn't as well known as many other characters. I've seen versions of Street Fighter and Final Fantasy with stuff like this, but not Monkey Island. Granted, I've never played the games. I really like his wavy shadow.

I guess it's supposed to represent how he's on the ocean. This seems to be quite loyal to the feel of the original sprite. It's not HD, just in higher resolution. Or is that what HD means in this sense? Whatever the reasons, this is a good picture.

[Battlerena]

Yeah, I think this is probably the weakest entry in your series. I think it would have been a lot better if you had showed the grenades blowing up or at least some kind of destruction. I just need a bigger sense of malice. They don't even seem to be going anywhere important. It seems to be a rehash of the previous picture I do, however, think this does have an interesting premise.

It's just something that doesn't work well as a single image. I guess this is supposed to take place at a ballet recital. I wouldn't want my daughter hanging out with that crowd. It does look like she's pretty good at dancing. Nice hair.

[Little Girl, Big Weapons]

Like the other reviewer, I was just kind of confused by this. There must be something wrong with me, because I keep expecting hotter adult women. I guess this is fairly funny on its own. It's just that I've seen this done before and better. It is a pretty strange picture. It doesn't seem to give you that much wonder about what's going on.

The background is actually pretty good. Now that I look at it, I don't even know if it's supposed to be a beach. Maybe just some place with a lot of sand, like a desert. Nice work with the girl's shadow. I can see the Japanese flag there.

[Santa N Me]

I was thinking it would be more appropriate to submit this around Christmas time. Of course, there are a lot of art submissions people release when the site first had an art portal. I imagine this was an older picture just submitted. Enough about that, is this picture any good? I'm really morbid for thinking was going to be dead or at least beat up in this. You're pretty good with the color purple too.

I should have realized this was going to have that character in it. What's that kids name anyway? Me? While it doesn't show a lot of action, this is nice because it's funny to look at Santa's reaction. I think you're really good at drawing him, particularly with his rosy cheeks.

[Green Guy]

This is one of your stranger pictures. I do, however, admit it isn't that bad. It's mostly because I'm just the kind of guy who likes it when people try new things. You really have no idea what is going on here. I'm thinking there's a toy soldier on the table or whatever that is. It's the kind of picture where you can make your own story with it.

I keep thinking the green guy looks like Shrek. I guess he's just so popular all big green people look like him. The shading is really good with this. I'm thinking he might be trapped in a maze and he's found a way out. That's why there's a light coming towards you.

[Bump in the Night]

When I looked at this, I could just see the top parts of it and noticed it had a rating of 4.43. Looking below, I can see why it's like that. The funny thing is that there is in fact a monster in the closet already. I don't know where these other guys are hiding. Being monsters, they may have the ability to control shadows or maybe they live in them. It's weird, because the guy here looks like he has the head of an adult.

It's been forever since I've seen those pooping pajamas. Do they even make those any more? You really seem to like the color blue. That would be my second favorite, next to orange. This could have been in one of those Shades of X (Color) collabs.

[Zombie Mario]

While not great, I thought this was still pretty well done. I'm surprised you don't have more games that are about zombies. A pity one of your most popular art pieces wouldn't be one of your most popular. It's a pretty funny image. I just like how Mario is blue in this. It seems like someone like Mario has gone through every color scheme except blue. At least in terms of clothes.

I guess the orange boxes are supposed to be the ones from the games. They look more like crates here. I imagine Mario did go nuts after having to save Peach so many times. Peach looks pretty beat up too with all the purple around her face. Or is that supposed to be makeup?

[Pronounced Dead]

I think this is probably the worst thing you have submitted. It's mostly because the resolution looks really bad. It also seems like an image too bland to be an art submission. Of course, who I am to say what you can submit? Was there supposed to be some kind of joke in this? You've drawn zombies much better before.

I think it's kind of nice how he's blue. It's supposed to represent how you turn blue when you lose oxygen. At least I think that's what happens. You could have just made a smaller picture. The yellow hair contrasts well.
