Ericho's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[castle crasher cyclops n groom]

I didn't like this one as much as some of your other stuff, probably because it wasn't in color. I assume the cyclops characters are from the Castle Crashers game. Dang, I really need to play that thing. It's pretty funny to see this guy just hanging out there with no eye at all. I guess it's worse than having one eye. Yeah, a one eyed monster at a wedding, that's funny.

I'm just so much more used to seeing your pictures in color. It's still nice that you made this. That guy doesn't even look like he has hands, although I think I can see what are supposed to be fingers on him. The little music notes are alright. It's a decent picture.

[8x10' behemoth display]

This is a truly awesome piece that makes it in my book because of how you portray all the characters. I love how there's references to all sorts of stuff you've worked on. I think there's a lone green eyeball flying around. I don't recall seeing the gray knight in the game before. You get most of the characters from the Alien Hominid game and even a cardinal from that cancelled game. I love how they're all firing at the giant chicken. Chickens are always funny, especially if they're chicken.

It's great how there's a fair number of people running and stuff, but each of them has a unique design. I'm guessing you're referring to inches in the name. Oh wait, no, the author's comments says that actually in feet! It must have taken forever to make something that big. I can't quite remember what the pink square guy is from. Love all the action going on, like the one gray knight falling off the castle.

[Metal Slug Beach Party]

At first, I was wondering what this had anything to do with Metal Slug. I was so distracted by the girls in front that I didn't even notice the explosion in the background! This is a great art piece and a tribute to all Metal Slug fans. I didn't even play that game as a kid. I've just learned so much about it from this website and the Internet in general. I know this might sound crazy, but I wish it could have focused more on the explosion.

Maybe it's because we don't get to see much of the girls' bodies? The text on the upper right hand corner says, "This image contains a hidden watermark. distribution or use without permission from the author is prohibited". Congradulations on making such a unique picture. Hey, is the hidden watermark the girls or the background?

[behemoth timeline]

Wow, this is really cool! It's always nice to get a little history lesson when you're out reviewing stuff like I do. I didn't even know most of this stuff. 2001 was the year that both Tom Fulp and you submitted their first games, so it makes sense that would be when you meet. The same character who appeared twice the longest time apart was the alien. I really have seen an art shift from his original design.

I love how there's so many guys here from stuff I have yet to play. I really like the Russian astronaut with his space gun. It seems like you would put the name of Game 3. At the time this was made, you didn't even know when it was going to appear for sure. The shadows are nice too.

[ALIEN Hominid - NG Art Contest]

It's funny, because this picture makes you realize how the alien from the series really isn't that well detailed in himself. Anyone who doesn't understand this reference knows nothing of pop culture. Anyway, the weird thing was that this really wasn't that much of a detailed picture. It's just that it has so much more depth the actual alien from the game. It's funny to imagine some of those xenomorphs using a gun, especially a silly looking one like that. I like how you have the alien in the background on the tank.

Green is a pretty standard color for a T-shirt. It certainly seems like the kind of design you would want from something like this. It's funny to see the little antennae coming out of this big alien's head. You did a pretty job with shading too. That's something artists should always remember.

[CannonBot Transformation]

I wasn't expecting anything that good with this, but it turned out to be something really cool. You may not have a lot of views, but at least you're a fairly well known author here. Congradulations on being Tom Fulp's favorite art submission! Yeah, he makes a new one every couple of weeks anyway. I would have liked it if there was more action to this. I guess the figure should have stood completely up.

That's what you expect Transformers to do! It's still great to see such awesome graphics here. It seems like something that would be in the highest quality old fashioned "Street Fighter" game. Or really, any other pixellated arcade game. I could just watch this thing all day. Thank you for such a nice piece on this website.

oh wow i didnt know tom fav it heh. thanks for the headsup

[PLOXINATOR 5]

SORTA detailed?! This is one of the most awesome pictures I've ever seen! I couldn't help but think this was maybe supposed to be some kind of satirical piece. Like maybe the fact that there was a couch in the middle of the monster's body represented how we are too lazy. Or maybe I'm looking too deep into this. It's amazing how so much effort was put into every single crevice of this creature's body!

It's great fun to just see the parts that make up its body. It looks like he has a cartoonish gloved hand holding a gun. Another leg (if that's even what it is) is wearing red highheels. The umbrella on top is a really nice treat too. I also love how there's this teeny bit of land on top of the creature's body. This should have more views!
