Ericho's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[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!

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.

[Airplane]

It seems like you took a break from drawing animals and instead decided to draw an aircraft. I honestly think that you may in fact be my favorite artist on this entire website. No one is able to depict things as realistically as you can. Hollywood needs to hire you right now to show off your great genius! You put some CGI to shame. Even the clouds are done realistically.

I like how there's no people or anyone else in this. It gives you a true sense of lonliness. Maybe this airplane appears at the start of a certain apocalypse? The way the sun reflects is fantastic as well. I am so sad that you only submitted four drawings here. You should win every award out there for these.

[Leaf Frog]

I think the only reason I didn't like this as much as the other one was because I had already seen something realistic like this. This is another fantastic piece of art, my friend. It's great to see how realistic this frog looks. I will admit that it probably does look less realistic than the spider. Still, it's awesome how you wonderfully detail everything. There is so much effort put into everything like the shadows.

It makes you wonder what kind of strange world this is. Okay, we know it's a rainforest, but it still has a great mysterious sense. What other kind of mystical creatures live here? Okay again, there really aren't mystical creatures, but you get what I'm saying. May your influence live on forever!

[Black Tunnel Web Spider]

You haven't made that many art submissions and I think I might know why. You are just absolutely flawless in every single thing that you do. When I first saw this, I thought it was an actual photograph. This may in fact be the most realistic drawing I've ever seen here! 3Ds Max is the way of the future, dude. I love how you don't try to put anything flashy in this.

It's just a picture that could happen to anyone in real life. It's just done so magnificently you realize its true beauty. You don't try to antagonize the spider or glorify anyone else. I guess this house has curtains that are like the wallpaper. This is something I could see in a professional art museum. You could even throw this in the same category as the Mona Lisa.

[Sargent John Mullins]

As your first art submission, you definitley chose to start on an awesome note! My favorite part of this is that it's so different from the actual series. I'm not saying it's poorly drawn itself, but stick figures usually aren't that well detailed. It was just amazing how you were able to perfectly transition your previous work into something more detailed. The colors are freaking gorgeous! I love how there's so much detail put into their boney hands!

You even get a true sense that this guy is going through hell. The red of his own colors contrasts so well with the blue. You didn't just stop with the closeups, but have some fine details in the background. There's probably literally mountains of these guys in the picture. If you tried to make an entire episode like this, it would take years. It's a great art piece!
