Ericho's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Anatomy Challenge part 1]

When I encountered this, I thought it would just be a single image. This is freaking beautiful! I absolutely love the sheer number of poses used in this. You seemed to really show interest in human anatomy. I truly get the sense that this wasn't supposed to be vulgar or anything. We should take pride in what we look like.

Maybe that's one reason I sleep naked? Okay, too much information. Were any of these based on people who modeled for you? Maybe you modeled them (the males at least) on yourself. Thank you for bringing such great art to the website. You should have more views on this.

[Giant Beach Pixel Banner]

There you go again making an awesome pic like this! Yeah, I'm listening to "One More Night" right now. It makes me wonder if there's any character that appears in all of your collages like this? There are just so many, it's hard to tell. I think I saw the Squiggly Fish in some others too. It's hard to say what's my favorite part as there are so many things here!

Optimus Prime appears to be the largest character featured in this. It's great to see Abobo, when looking forward at the great game you would work on. I don't even notice the pixellation in this. It's funny to see characters in swimsuits with their masks still on. In fact, I'm going out to the beach today! Hope you have a great summer too!

[Insanity Box 2 chick]

I am glad to be familiar with this character. I just recently played the game and it was nice to see the walkthrough to get some medals. Granted, I only got medals in losing things, but at least it's better than I did the first time. I didn't do too well at this. I think my girl only got about half this size. Then again, I don't even find her that attractive.

It would be cool if you did a male version of this. Hey, obesity's something that affects everyone in this country. I just know realize that purple is a cool color. I think those are little bacon strips in the background. That looks more like pizza than broccoli.

[Redhead]

This is a nice picture, but not a great one. I guess I just don't see what would be so special about it. I'm used to seeing more attractive women in pictures. Dang, I am one big pervert. I like how she has the orange vest on with the cleavage. I was thinking the theme might have been construction work.

All of the sparks going around made me think of stuff like blowtorches. Imagine how fast it would have been finished if women had worked on it. The background with the moon is great. In fact, the background does a great job of making you wonder exactly what is going on. You're great at skies.

[Mastermind5 poster]

Well, it's way best December, so I guess this never came to surface. At least you got some good fanart out of it. I know I am somewhat familiar with this image, but this is the first time I've reviewed it. I think there's a similar thing I saw. Now, I remember, it had something to do with Nazis, which I originally thought this girl was. It's just that I associate that stuff with sadism.

The use of red was great in this. I can see some influence from people like Kol-Belov and Pikanjo. I'm not quite sure what the "TS" stands for. I wasn't even thinking about The Swain when first looking at this. Figures you would work with him.

[Contra high res]

While I didn't think the first one was great, I think it was still better. I think it's pretty interesting how you took a design that I was not that familiar with. Of course, I don't really remember much about the characters from the game. It's just the first level most people are familiar with. Again, it looks a lot like he would in official artwork. I was going to say official fanart, but that would be an oxymoron.

One thing I don't like are his purple lips. I think it's a tad too feminine. Of course, maybe that's how he supposed to look. It was cool how you showed him firing his gun when he didn't in the picture. It was an improvement from the original.

[Celes highres]

I feel kind of bad for not knowing more about this character. I'm a freaking huge nerd, dangit! That being said, I have seen other contest entries like this. I guess the only reason I didn't like this that much is because you have a character I'm not familiar with. I have at least heard of this character.

Was that sprite really the only thing you had to work with? There had to be some larger official work of her. If not, then I think this was well done. This really looks just like she would look like in fanart. At least I recognize her from Final Fantasy.

[Jungle Girl]

Here is yet another cool and unique picture! While the midriff is bare, you don't seem to focus as much as attractiveness as some previous pictures. I hope not, she looks pretty young. I especially love the awesome designs or tattoos she has on. It gives off a great sense of adventure. Then again, nearly everything in this picture does.

The shadings with the backgrounds is freaking awesome. The shadows are flawless and you understand how this character is in the sun. Bear claws are always cool. There are some little flashing colors in the background too. I imagine they're supposed to be leaves?

[Awesome]

This reminded me of Dinosaurs Comics. It's a pity I didn't like this as much as everyone else. I think this could have used color. It's a good image, just not a great one in my opinion. Raptors are dinosaurs that are so freaking awesome, you can do anything with them. I like the little bits of dust and dirt flying around everywhere.

When I think of awesome, I do think of dinosaurs. It reminds me of that April Fool's awesome game a few years back. Claws are something I've always thought looked cool, like dinosaurs. Maybe the two go together? It could have used a background.

[The real TMNT]

It seems only natural I would run into a comedic picture you've drawn. This is great. It's strange to make a realistic envision of what mutant turtles would look like, when mutants can basically look like whatever you want. You did a really good job in that area. I love how goofy Splinter looks. The veins and shadings are freaking gorgeous.

I can't even recognize your drawing style. You seem to always have something new for every picture. I think Michelangelo is the one who reminds me the most of a real turtle. He's hunched over the most. Of course, mutants aren't supposed to be realistic.
