Ericho's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Food Food Food]

This is a pretty disturbing picture. I'm guessing the overall format was supposed to be ironic. It didn't come that way off to me. I do think it's a good one, because it's quite well detailed. I think you even wanted to make it look like the food fit her body typer perfectly. It looks like the sandwich could eat her!

It's somewhat sad to see someone doing that to themselves. I guess you don't have much else to do. The blue background seemed to contrast well with the foreground. It might not mean anything, just an observation. That's a big stick.

[Girl Trooper]

While not as good as some of your other pieces, this was nice to look at. I don't think I've ever seen a female stormtrooper being depicted like this. I think it has come across me at certain times. It was mostly just done as a joke in those instances. It's great to see a really sincere picture like this. There isn't much of an attempt to oversexualize it.

With more armor on, this seems to be pretty practical for this kind of uniform. The background is also very cool. I'm not sure where this is supposed to take place, probably in some Expanded Universe land. She looks a bit confused. The pink colors have good flair to them.

[Ulala Dancin']

It was really cool to see this. I think the only flaw was that you should have made it so that you could make the image bigger. I tried enlarging it, but it didn't work. Is that supposed to be human version of Amy Rose? If so, it's done quite well. It's nice to see a gif being used as an art submission.

It seems like every part of her body is just flapping around everywhere. The shading is done masterfully well. You get the sense that this is someone lost in a funky jive. I'm fairly certain that was the intention. The colors are a nice touch.

[Katamari on Roids]

While not one of your finest works, this is still great to look at. I haven't seen much of this character. He's usually not muscular, making this all the more humorous. I'm not sure if that's actual Japanese text. It probably is, given how much research you do. It seems like he's concentrating all his energy into that ball.

At least I think it's a ball. I guess someone more familiar with the game would understand it more. It's weird to see all those veins on a green body. I don't even think the Hulk looks like that. That's one awesome mustache.

[Chaos Theory]

I am normally not a person who would even think of giving 5 stars to something that has some sort of nudity in it, but this is an exception. I think it's mostly because you don't even make it the focus of the picture. I freaking love the gorgeous design of colors. It seems like you were inspired by "The Fifth Element". You know, with the orange haired girl and the machines? I'm guessing the robot is supposed to be a transformer.

Whatever your intentions were, they were executed beautifully. It's fantastic to see all this stuff popping out everywhere. At the same time, it isn't cluttered in the least. That's a mistake a lot of artists make. It's great to see every single detail put into everything. This came off as something to inspire hope, not chaos.

[Arcee & Xena]

Okay, there are times where I don't really care what you may think about certain views, but you are a great artist. I'm just going to put all that behind me and acknowledge how awesome this is. I don't know if Xena ever rode a pink dinosaur. I don't care, it's freaking awesome to look at. If this was done today, you could have had some MLP references. Yep, I'm a brony.

The artwork and lines are so freaking perfect in this. Everything looks like it's just jumping out at the reader. I didn't know the transformer's name was Arcee. Or is that the dinosaur's name? You have made pink look manly, or something like it. Not to mention she has a rainbow sword.

[Apple Cyber]

I'm guessing the title was supposed to be a pun on the term "Apple Cider". I've been watching so much MLPFIM, I'm used to hearing apple puns. I like it how you have so much variety in your drawings. It doesn't even seem like most of them are sexual. Yeah, I probably shouldn't think of drawn women as like that all the time. The thing you've done with the shadows is just gorgeous.

From this angle, it looks like her body is distorted. I don't think it's unrealistic, I think it's more of how this is just depicted. A lot of your female characters look the same to me. If only you could draw more beautiful women. Yes, I'm that kind of guy.

[Jumper Girl 2]

I was thinking this had some real dark meaning to it. I thought the title meant that this girl was going to jump off a building. It certainly seemed like she was standing outside a window. I hope not! While I do wish it was more detailed, it gets down emotions very well. I love the shape she makes with her shadow.

It seems to contrast well with the window, or whatever it is. You can see concern in her eyes. You do a fine job with the shadings. I don't know much about you, but this is just cool to look at. It's an ambitious picture.

Brakkenimation responds:

Haha, Ericho what're you doing commenting on this 700-year-old drawing. There's so much new cool stuff to be checking out on NG ;)

While I like the interpretation, 'jumper' simply refers to her sweater. It's the UK name for it. Then again, maybe not... maybe she IS thinking of jumping >:)

Glad you like it, sir. I feel like I could do something new with this girl, using my current skillset. So we'll see - maybe you'll get that more detailed version you were wishing for.

[spandex]

This is a really good picture. I think the best thing about it is how you've made the girl attractive. However, unlike other pictures that exploit it, this seems to do pretty well with it. It gives you a sense that this actually makes sense with what's going on. I guess the bandage bra design makes it look like she's going into battle. The two guns already imply it.

This reminded me of Faye Valentine. I guess it's because of the yellow skin tight clothes. I even like this girl's expression with how she looks so sassy. Is Spandex what they're calling this stuff? It's a nice picture to look at.

[Splattered Ink]

It's nice how you got a frontpaged award for this. They should have those for flash submissions. I was a bit weirded out like you are that so many people like it. It isn't bad, it's just pretty strange. I guess if you had made the girl more attractive, I'd like it more? Lol, this seems to be an original character.

I am just more used to having a background on art pieces. If not, then they should at least move. It seemed like you were trying to make some metaphor with this. It's like the message was how we're consumed by darkness. I'm surprised it was as far back as 2008, because it looks pretty new!
