Ericho's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[The Surreal Fish]

I thought this would be more about a fish that was evolving. That is, I would think the title would be about that. Apart from that, it's still a pretty good picture. What really makes it work is the sort of grainy effects you put into the background. I know realize it is more surreal as it also has front hands or arms or whatever. I like how the bubbles are different sizes, too.

It also makes you realize that this fish has no front fins, or middle fins or whatever. Anyway, it's interesting to see the creepy tone the fish has on his face. The scales are pretty nice too. While not well detailed, it works well for what it's supposed to have. Not much else to say, except nice gills.

[Pico Team vs. Dad n Me]

This is an absolutely wonderful art piece. It mostly works so well because it's so good to its characters. You really seem to set up the fact that these two groups are evenly matched. Well, maybe not that much, but it's still a very nicely done drawing. I know of your artstyle, but had no idea you were THIS good! The colors and shades are freaking wonderful. The shadows are also a great touch.

I guess we're lucky professional wrestling is fake, huh? Anyway, I can't tell which one is supposed to the dad and which is the kid as they look the same size. I like how good Pico looks holding up his gun. I can see the clips that he holds in his other hand. I can even make out some shapes of the other characters in the crowd! There's Bitey, a Madness guy, and a bunch of Clocks.

[Zombies]

I enjoyed this and I guess I was only turned off at how weird it was. I guess that's weird (lol) of me to say because I've seen tons of weird stuff that I liked. This just came off as more unsettling. Still, it's a good art piece. The most noticeable factor seems to be how much these characters show off through their bones and muscles. It looks like they're freaking melting off!

It's just insane with all the different features these guys have. They even have different clothes and they're only wearing one article of clothing! The background is really nice with the trees. I like how there's just random blood spots here and there. You know how to make insanity!

[THE Red Knight]

Thank you for probably your best pick, as seen by how popular it is with its score. I like how you say that it's "THE" Red Knight. It seems to signify that this is the best picture of the red knight people are ever going to come across. That is probably true of course. I can really see the indents of where you wrote on the paper. It looks like this was made on drawing paper.

I'm going to use my webcam and upload something I made eventually. This isn't at all cartoonish, it shows how this character should look realistically. There's a lot of bootstraps on his boots. Maybe if I looked closer at other artwork, I would notice that. Congradulations on the mass success of this!

[Tom Fulp]

While it wasn't that well detailed, I just think this was a really nice picture. It seems like you were trying to portray Tom as a hippie. It's just that with all the plants around, I thought they represented weed or something. Dang, I've been reading about that stuff too much lately. I just now noticed the "Fuck 'N" thing up at the top. I'm glad to see an art piece with the penicorns.

I'm surprised that isn't more recognized as a meme here. I guess it has a whole new meaning with the success of the latest MLP cartoon. Wait, they seem to be smoking something so it is weed! You probably need to have better alignment of lines. Then again, you were probably high while making this.

[Behemoth]

This was really good even if it's not the best thing I've ever reviewed. What really made it was the fine details. I can really look closely and see each of the tiny little lines and imagine how much effort must have been put into making them. That chicken looks like it has a pair of testicles hanging from his chin. It reminds me of that one "South Park" episode. I really like the details put into the gray stuff around the boom box.

I wish I knew the difference between a stereo and boom box. I wish there had been some kind of behemoth in this. Of course, I haven't played the game, so I probably wouldn't know. The atmosphere reminds me of the "Ratchet And Clank" games. The colors and everything are great too.

[Castle Crashers King Badflash]

Congradulations on working on the calendar. It's cool how people have submitted various parts of it instead of just one person doing it all at one time. It makes me wish I had gotten this calendar. Sheesh, I don't even have any gear left! Here's another great and unique style of drawing. I thought maybe you were trying to show his legs being cut off.

I now realize that's just poofy clothes. I like how monstrous the king is, with how he has four eyes. Come to think of it, I wear glasses, so that might come off as offensive to me. Anyway, it's great to see how each of the Castle Crashers represents a certain element that they are shown using. Hands with middle fingers should be cut off.

[Dad N Me calender]

"Dad 'N Me" is one of my favorite games here! Granted, I have like hundreds of those, but it's still a great game! What I really like about this is how you have everything the series is known for. I like how there's so many things going on, like the ET cartridges. Does that mean this game takes place in Mexico? I am sad to say that I never got to use this calendar as I just found out about it now.

I like how you get to see the shadows on the grass. It shows a good concern for every detail. I can see how it was inspired by Dan Paladin with how flat the characters' heads are. I like how everything is put at a good angle. It certianly doesn't look like something from a game. It looks a lot more like a creative cutscene. It's great how people here can show off their uniqueness.

[Alex Kidd in Remake World]

I believe I had heard of Alex Kidd, but never played any game he was in. I really liked this art piece because of how many things are in it. I appreciate how there's such a nice variety of colors used in this. A lot of people don't consider pixellation to be art, but you've proven it can be. I really have no idea what any of these things are supposed to represent. It's funny how some of these guys have hands for heads.

It's weird how the first rows are the same character. You then mix it up with by having a bunch of crazy looking designs. This guy looks like he has monkey ears or horns, perhaps. I know it's kind of hard to call those things similar, but they look alike to me. Everything's just nice and colorful.

[Malfoil]

I didn't find this that appealing. I do get the impression that this wasn't meant to be that good. There just doesn't seem to be any shading as it's all one solid color. It does kind of remind me of the stuff by Cuboy. It looks like you've made a lot better stuff. I like how he has a Slytherin badge that is shaped like an "S". Draco just looks stupid.

It seems like you could have also made a pun on his first name. There seem to be some strange things going on in his shirt. I guess it doesn't mean anything, but it's just something I noticed. You should have more details in your drawings. It's okay for what it is.
