Ericho's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[ifrit]

DUDE, this is one of your best submissions ever! It's funny because I'm trying to think about which mythical creature you are emulating. I really don't think you're trying to emulate anything. It's simply just a fantastic picture that took a truly creative mind to make. It looks like it has the head of a beetle and the tail of, maybe a scorpion? Speaking of the tail, I love how it turns into little blue flames at the end.

It looks like it has insect legs on its back! I keep thinking this is like a dragon, although that might only be because this thing breathes fire. Even the background is absolutely flawless. It looks like this creature is going through Hell or resides there or something. The fire looks fairly solid. It's just a wonderful picture in every way!

[humaggot]

After seeing "Prometheus", you'd think I'd be used to seeing disturbing stuff. This is great because it really is one of the scariest things I've ever seen here! It doesn't even look like the bug thing is part of the person, it looks more like he's throwing her up! Most of its appearance is pretty standard for an insect, but the mouth/face is DISTURBING. It's not often I see an art piece that makes me scared like that. The maggot even looks more like a fish.

I thought this was going to have someone being eaten by maggots. It turned out to be something even worse! It looks like the creature is some weird firey place or maybe it's not meant to be like that. Whatever it's meant to be, it's wonderfully done. It should have a higher rating.

[tiger]

This is a great picture, mostly because of how good the colors are. Cats are my favorite animal, so members of the cat family are cool too! I really like how there's such a strong emphasis on shading. It looks like the picture is really coming and jumping out at you. The tiger looks a bit too bulky to be realistic, but that never stopped me from liking something before. It seems to keep a cartoonish style.

It may not have much besides the tiger, but it's a nice picture. I like how there's some good focus on how strong the creature's muscles are. The eyes look a bit too small. That was probably just done to emphasize how terrifying the rest of his body is. It's a nicely detailed picture.

[Ultra Demon Cannibal Dad]

I could have sworn there was another art piece with the exact same name. Maybe there was, it seems like there's so many a few were bound to have the same name. Anyway, what made this cool is how freaking realistic it is! It looks like an officially licensed toy that the website made, but it isn't! I guess it is a bit strange to see him being colored red. I can't believe this thing hasn't been scouted yet!

All of your hard work certianly paid off. I love the strong signs of detail put into the chainsaw, especially. This guy has a look like he's ready to do some damage. And you thought Ash from the "Evil Dead" movies was cool with his chainsaw arm! Too bad things went poorly for you, but you have the picture here for everyone to enjoy!

[Blueby Wooby]

I can tell you're the same guy who made an art piece that I favorited. While this wasn't your best work, it's still great to look at. It's mostly gorgeous because of how vibrant you use colors. There don't even seem to be any black lines at all, it's just you using the colors for everything. This picture itself is extremely freaky. You did this with sharpie and pens, now I'm motivated to draw anything to submit here!

The creature has two faces and all four eyes are closed. Heh, normally, when you think of a four eyed person, you imagine someone with glasses. It looks like their flesh and muscles are just melting away or being ripped off somehow. There's tons of great lines here and there as well. Insane, but extremely creative.

[WELCOME TO NEWGROUNDS]

I understand why you would want people to enlarge it. When you do, you get a really good sense of how well it's detailed. I didn't even realize the giant skull belonged to a body that was shown entirely on screen. This is also great because it shows off the tankmen looking so good. Having realistic stuff with goofy characters is always a good idea. In the future, if Newgrounds was a place, this is probably what it would look like.

The coloring is very nicely done too. I appreciate how you get in a lot of shadings even if you don't use many colors. It looks like it was drawn on background paper for something. That might even just be how authentic its colorization is. I keep thinking the TF is supposed to stand for Team Fortress.

[Newave]

Now THIS picture is pure unadulterated fun! What really struck me as awesome about this was that it reminded me of the "Nextwave" comic. That's such an awesome comic with crazy stuff going on, it reminded me of it. The coloring effects in this are simply gorgeous! I also love how you have nearly every scary creature in one picture! You've got snakes, a shark, and a dragon (I think) and maybe a wooly mammoth?

It's just oozing awesomeness everywhere! There are even some white designs (or maybe shadings of some sort?) on the monsters' bodies. It looks like there's candy or blood or some kind of strange goo flying out everywhere. It makes no sense, but it's freaking awesome! There's an unbelievable amount of fine detail put into this. It's great to see such a creative mind at work.

[Alien Hominid Fan ARt]

This is another great picture because you get down the muscles and bones so well. It's pretty satisfying to see such strong body tones put on the alien. I will never, ever figure out what that dude's name is. I don't want to call him "Alien Hominid" because that's just cliche. I think the strongest asset here is probably how there's a bunch of lines on his body. That might seem kind of silly, but it shows strong detail.

It seems like you have your signature in this, but it's a bit hard to tell. It's nice to see him drawn in a more realistic manner. In fact, he still manages to have a big head so you're still faithful to his overall cartoonish design. Those are some strong looking teeth too. By strong, I mean that they look that way and they're drawn well.

[New Land]

I thought this was a pretty funny picture. It mostly works because it deconstructs the idea of learning instructions in video games. It just doesn't make any sense for a lot of this stuff to happen in those games. I haven't even played that many games that have made fun of that aspect. I think the little chicken is cute. I do think that you used a bit too much negative space.

It could have used more detail. It still indeed accomplishes what it sets out to do. I also like the way the little words are written in the lower hand corner of the picture. It might have used some color, most Castle Crashers fan art has color anyway. I guess we could add the gray knight.

[salior chick]

When I first saw the title, I thought it was going to be a picture of the title character of "Sailor Moon". Like how you were drawing a really hot picture of her which was why she was called a "chick". I was very wrong. I have to give you a lot of credit for having some really unique stuff in this. It looks like it was indeed made from torn up paper. It's always great to see people using every bit of material they have.

From the title, I always thought it might be a Popeye parody. You really have no idea what to expect with a picture as bizarre as this. While it's very nonsensical, it's still a very well done picture. It mostly works because there's just so many things going on. I love all the little details.
