Ericho's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[strange frog dude]

Woah, this is one of the most insane pictures I've ever seen on this website! It just looks like this thing is a mashup of numerous creatures. The most obvious animal used here is the frog. With the dinosaur like bag on his head, I can't tell what his head looks like. I like how he has this strange blue alien deer in his hand. I'm not sure if that's supposed to be a hologram or not.

Whatever it is, it looks fantastic. There's so many little details in this picture that make everything so good. Like the frog dude seems to be wearing these little black boots. I even love how the trees have these white stripes. I don't know why this guy has a motor on his head or if that even IS his head. A truly great nonsequitor picture!

[ARINNNN]

Oh yeah, Arin is the name of the guy who's actually Egoraptor. What I didn't like about this was probably how scary this dude looks. He seriously looks like he's going to eat me or rape me or something. If fear was the emotion you were trying to give out, you definitley succeeded. He doesn't even look human, he looks like his skin is covered in oil or something. I just now realize how much he looks like Kirbopher.

In fact, it seems like a lot of flash animators have long hair. And at first I thought they just all had glasses. His neck seems a bit too long here, like he's some kind of monster. I wouldn't be surprised if he probably is supposed to look like one here. He stares so deeply into my soul...

[PIc0]

This picture is nice because it seems to put Pico off in a really gritty world. Granted, he was always in one before but this seems like something you would expect from a comic book or some kind of comic. I like how there's this half drawn background behind him. It seems like you might be a little off with the way the colors go off. Some of them seem to just be dragging off his body. Then again, that may have been the point. I like how distorted his face his.

In fact, everything is distorted in this, even the word in the background. I guess I've just seen so many Pico pictures, I didn't like it as much as most people did. It's still something nice for Pico Day. It was at least made close to Pico Day. I like the cool way of spelling it.

[Pico, Darnell & Nene]

It's really nice to see all these characters in such awesome poses. I guess I didn't like it as much as most people did. This is still a good picture, because it truly captures the spirit of Pico. It looks a bit weird with how some of the yellow outlines show too much. It's still good to see these characters being drawn in such a realistic way. I really do think they look more like teenagers.

It certainly seems like that was the intention. I should know by now that Darnell is a pyromaniac. It's cool to see them all with their trademark weapons. I like how they all have this really gritty look on their faces like they're ready to go out and kill. I didn't even notice the crooked uzis.

[Telebubby Funland]

It seems like it's been awhile since I've heard of the Teletubbies around here. In fact, I haven't heard of them a lot PERIOD. I guess those guys just got out of style, not that they were ever really that popular to begin with. The funniest part here is probably how there's static on the TVs on their bodies. Wait, scratch that. The funniest part is actually how the vacuum cleaner is stuck up the green teletubby's butt.

Fine, I don't remember their names. I am very eager to have this turned into a flash game. I remember the Teletubbies game from him as one of the earliest stuff Tom made. Their faces all look like they're punched in. I guess it makes sense since people hate them.

[Self Portrait]

I could have sworn I saw something like this before, but it's a lot better than what I expected! This is a freaking fantastic picture that truly captures who you are. Granted, I've never seen a photograph of you, so I don't know if it's authentic. Anyone who can make something this good deserves credit. I think they're both you. The one on the left is probably more likely to be you in any given situation, however.

It's great how you made yourself look so dignified. It's not the best realistic drawing I've ever seen, but it's definitley in the Top 10. It looks like you were maybe trying to draw your ancestor who fought in some old war. I doubt that happened, but the thought's still great. Even the background is good with its gray color. I love how you're staring out at the audience.

[Be Happy]

This looks like one of those grotesque cariactures you see in MAD magazine. Or rather, the ones you see people make on the beach. I don't know if this was intentional, but it looks a lot like it has pedophiliac overtones. It's like the guy is trying to molest the children because of how ugly he looks. I think it's just more of a failed clown like guy at a birthday party. The funniest part of the picture is probably his sock puppet.

I like how his head just seems to be taking up most of his body. He looks truly monstrous in this. There's just so much great detail in everything here. It kind of looks like a political cartoon that would be in the "New Yorker" or something. Hard to be happy with a giant man gleering down at you.

[No.35]

Woah, this is one of the most brutal depictions I've ever seen of a character here! It's not even so much a character here, as it is, well, a emote. It's amazing how you can give so much depth to something that's just a picture. This is probably the most painful black eye I have ever seen in my life. That thing looks like it's swelled to the size of the rest of his head! It's a powerful picture in every sense of the word.

I don't understand the title, unless that's the number assigned to that emote. NG has just turned this guy into a giant mass of swelling flesh. He even has this weird bump coming out of his head like a "Looney Tunes" character. You've shown how much wrath we can dish out. It's amazing how much depth you can give to this.

[RAIN]

I had little idea what this was supposed to mean or represent, but it's still great to look at. I think its strongest point is how the main character in this looks so good. I don't think that guy was a kid when the comic started because he had a beard. I guess it's a case of be careful what you fish for. I still appreciate this for having some really slick drawings in it. It's good enough for a professional comic book.

Heck, it could even make for a great ironic children's book. I could see this being published. I am so glad you won the award because I've reveiwed so many art pieces where people mentioned they entered a contest and didn't say they won. I guess it's probably meant to be a tale of childhood innocence lost or something? It's still great.
