Ericho's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[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!

[blood over]

I have never heard of this artwork either. That doesn't matter, because it's still a freaking awesome thing to look at. It seems like maid uniforms show up a lot in anime. It's so funny to see the girl on the right look so scared. It looks like they're trying to fight giant centipedes. That could just be the guys' heads on top of one another.

I just think it's good to show such strong expressions. It doesn't look that violent for something that has "Blood" in its name. You may have been rendering it as a goofier series. The lines in the background are pretty nice too. It's best to watch in widescreen.

[The El Dude Brothers]

I guess this was an attempt to make something more realistic. I don't understand much of what this is all about. It doesn't help that I'm not British, lol. I can't tell if this is authentic to what they look like in the show as I haven't watched it. I guess I just found this to be a weak art entry. There isn't much of a sense of shading or anything.

You did succeed in making them look dumb, if that was the purpose. You might have given more background information on them. I think it's a fairly funny thing that they are saying. Are they trying to pronounce Europe? Probably not, they're just grunting.

[Robuttnik]

YES! I have been waiting so long for someone who's a user of YouTube Poop to make a drawing like this! While it could have been better (i.e. had more characters) this is still freaking awesome. It seems like you were trying to make the firing laser meme with Robotnik. Maybe not. I would love to see more and bigger art pieces like this.

I love how Robotnik has these red eyes that just jut out everywhere. He looks like this round ball of fat. Granted, he always looked like that, but it's funnier now. It's been awhile since I've seen you draw some cartoonish images. The shadow work is nice too.
