Ericho's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[shock baby]

I really didn't know what to expect from this title. I thought it was going to be a disgusting picture of a baby and the joke was that it was used as shock humor. I guess it kinda fits both themes. While not that good of a picture, it's nice to see some really strong shadings. The baby looks extremely evil with his purple lips. I love how it's the kind of thing that you really WOULD want to plug in to destroy its sheer evil.

I doubt it's human, it looks more like a frog creature. I guess it's because it's wearing green clothes. I like how there's a lot of detail in everything. It seems like the picture is a bit too cluttered, but it's still good. The outlet is apparently part of the creature's body, but there's also something strapped onto his head.

[Silhouette concepts]

I couldn't even tell what these were supposed to be silhouettes of. I vaguely think the one on the bottom is Hank. It just that he has red eyes and it looks a lot like his head is covered in bandages. The viking on the left upper hand side looks like the guy that appears on the logo for gamezhero. At least I think it's gamezhero. I don't know what's in the background.

It looks like it might be buildings and I don't like to be reminded of the WTC. Seriously, I'm not offended by that kind of stuff and no one else should. I really like how you use a lot of good contrasting colors for this. It's just great atmosphere. The only guy I have no idea about is that guy on the upper right hand corner.

[Tommykins]

I think this is a fairly cute little picture made of Tom Fulp. I guess I would have liked it more if there was more in it. I mean, I guess a portrait doesn't have to be that detailed, but it can still look better. Of course it was featured on the front page, it has Tom Fulp on it! I think the funniest looking part of him is probably his lower lip. As someone who uses chapstick, I would know what it's like to have a big lower lip.

I like how he's looking so stupidly at the audience. The shading is pretty good with all that purple on his face. I like how his hair glistens too. It feels like this could have been better if there was a background. It's a fairly decent picture all around.

[Chainsaw the Pumpkins]

I know that is obviously not a real pumpkin, but it looks so fantastic you have to take note of it! I just love this artpiece because it has so much going for it. It's great to see every single detail put into all the parts of his chainsaw. I don't know much about how they work or look like, but it's cool to look at. You really showed some gorgeous colors in this too. While I haven't seen many art pieces by you, this might be my favorite.

I believe that's Nene there and I love her hanging costume. Woah, that's a LOT of boot straps. Good thing they're all held up by awesome looking skulls. Dad is especially well detailed is that you can really see the fine points of his muscles. It's just awesomeness the whole way around. Everything is so fricking strong in this.

[Dad N' Me Concept Art]

I was quite impressed by this mostly because it had so many different parts to it. You get to see how this character evolved over time. Then again, it's not really art evolution as it's basically the same character being put through different mediums. It's still great to look at. We always enjoy origin stories, so showing one about a beloved Newgrounds character was a great idea! I think my favorite would have to be the middle one.

Uh, you skipped 3 when listing the types. Whatever, this is still a great piece of art to look at. It's funny how the final part with him in the game looks the most cartoonish. The middle one has a good CGI feel to it, even if it's not in a game. We always enjoy studying character types.

[United Colors of Newgrounds]

The 2011 Newgrounds calendar sure gave us a lot of great entries! What makes this so awesome is how you do each and every character justice. I am very happy to say that I can identify every single character here. From left to right, it's the Tankmen, PIco, Bitey, Hank, Dad 'N Me, Snake, Alien Hominid, and Salad Fingers. Snake is from the "Metal Gear Awesome" series, not just from the games. It seems like you did get characters with matching color schemes for the most part.

Salad Fingers' fingers look like swatzikas. Hank looks kind of weird with a red gun. Dad's head is looking smaller and smaller in every art submission I see him in. They all strike nice poses. You do all of us Newgrounds fans honor by making this.

[Calendar 2011 NewgroundsPileup]

I honestly don't think I've ever seen so many Newgrounds characters in one place! I mean it! I can simply go on all day about how there are so many characters seen in this! It's great to see nearly every single popular character here being represented the way they should be! There's only a couple I don't recognize like that bloody white furry thing on the ground that looks like a Moogle. As a frequent reviewer, you get to see a lot of underrated characters.

Some of you guys might miss some. There's the guy from the "Fancy Pants Adventures" series going off in some random direction. I think the best looking character here might be Dad. Of course, that might only be because he's more onscreen than any other character. You've got Tankmen, the Castle Crashers, Larry, Dad 'N Me, the alien from "Alien Hominid", Bitey, the green guy and other business guy from "Facebook Twitter" and everyone else! A true masterpiece!

Thanks! The white furry dude on the floor is from the Castle Crashers game.

[newgroundian-comrade quake!]

People will simply never stop making awesome tributes to Tom and Newgrounds! The only thing I didn't understand was how there were some characters I didn't recognize. I love seeing the beat up Squirtle from the "Toss The Turtle" game. I noticed Larry coming at one point with a sword. He seems to be a lot larger than I remember. I have no clue who that guy with the yellow suit and the harpoon is supposed to be. It's great to see so many different kinds of characters here.

I can't help but think that the buff guy is supposed to be some user here, like maybe Stamper. Whatever it is, it's great to see such a great cast. One notable cool part is probably the shark mouth mounted on the front of the ship. They're the symbol of terror on the high seas! I don't know who that cyborg is either.

[the behemoth print]

Fantastic! It seems like you gathered nearly every popular character created by the Behemoth. Actually, probably EVERY character created by the Behemoth. I don't even know who the giant moose and hamster are that appear in front. I love the fact that all of these characters look like they're out and ready to fight! The chicken in the background is the ultimate payoff, with him blasting lasers.

Hey, I can see the cardinal from the cancelled "Cardinal Man" game by Dan Paladin. It's nice to know he'll always exist in our hearts and minds. There's this one white blocky guy with a jewel and I don't know what game he's from. Anyone who's a fan of art should appreciate this. I see the alien is riding some strange thing with a unicorn horn. At least it's not a penicorn!
