Ericho's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[As We Rode So Eloquent.]

Okay, now this HAD to be a reference to "Adventure Time!". Then again, those clothes are kind of standard. Anyway, this was a really good art piece. I especially like how there's so many stars shining in the sky like diamonds as the song goes. It's also great to see how the dear (or whatever that is) has a rather serious concern on his face. It contrasts well with the utter insanity that the boy feels.

I can't help but notice all the little details. Like in the back, there's some shadow effect or something going on with the boy's tail coat (tail coat, what?). The colors are fantastically vibrant and bright. I guess it's pretty silly, but it still comes off as pretty awesome. We all wish we could do this.

[Steampunk Halloween]

This is one of the best Halloween pictures I've ever seen! The main reason it's so good is because everything has this great purple glow to it. It's stuff like this that makes you appreciate the many colors we have in our world. Granted, it's not a photograph, but still great to look at. I love how there's so much work and effort put into every little stitch. I love how everything has these flashing lights coming out of it.

Pico's head looks just like another part of his body. I don't think the idea of a steampunk Halloween has ever been done before, but it's done perfectly here! It doesn't even look like this thing could support its own body weight! I thought one leg was too big, but that's to show it's put in front. Easily the best Halloween costume ever made. Happy Halloween now and forever too!

[Physeter Catodon]

This is a great art piece! I think the main reason I like it so much is because you really get a sense that the whale is bleeding. It doesn't even look like blood that much. It looks more like the whale is being attacked by some red monster from the sky. Maybe that was the intention? I think I can clearly see a stab wound on the side of the whale's body. Oddly enough, there isn't any blood coming out of it.

Now that I look closer, there appear to be some more. I think the red is more of a sea monster or sea serpent that's attacking the whale and it looks like it's coming from the sky! Maybe that giant storm cloud is creating it and sending it down? Whatever it means, this is just an impressive art piece. Captain Ahab would be proud.

[dear dan paladin!]

I guess that is a somewhat Spidermanesque costume. Hey, I just realized you can add "esque" to the end of any word you want and turn it into a new word. I like how there's streaks of blood all over his body. It really gives him a tough guy look. It only makes sense that he would look like this, being a tribute to Dan Paladin. Once again, I can see the background paper in this.

It's pretty cool how you manage to get so many little details right. I even like the little specks of dirt or whatever they are, on the background. His hands are so bloody it looks like he's wearing gloves! His legs do seem a bit long for his body. Still, a nice tribute.

[The Royal Fulps]

While it wasn't that well detailed, I appreciate this for having such a kind demeanor to it. It's really cool to see such popular people being represented in the highest regard. Granted, kings and queens don't really mean much these days, but it's something. There could have been more of a background. Of course, orange happens to be my favorite color, so I'm not complaining. The body proportions are done pretty well too.

It's great how everything is represented so delicately. It seems like you're the kind of guy who could do this for anyone. I'm glad you've shown you don't have to provide on violence and/or gore to make something good. To a certain extent, you omitted the black lines.

[D is for dinosaur]

This reminds me of that one game where they said it was going to be the best game ever. It had like dinosaurs with laser canons! It turned out to be a boring game, but that was the joke, as it was April Fool's Day. The colors in this are freaking fantastic. I hope you're not the Joey you're talking about in your username when you say that Joey sucks. There's something on the tail that says, "My other dinosaur is a spaceship".

This is just made of awesome. An awesome looking robot riding an awesome looking dinosaur! Now THIS would be the best game ever made! The backgrounds are superb too. It looks like it's taking place in the desert as I think I see sand but there's also a mountain in the background so maybe it's more of the Old West.

[track 13]

WOAH! Now THIS is something that needs to be viewed in fullscreen in order for people to truly enjoy it! This is one of the greatest art pieces I've ever seen in my life! The main reason it works so well is because there's an unbelievable amount of detail put into this. I didn't even notice until now that the guy was throwing the stuff up. I see a pony, but I'm not sure if that's supposed to be a reference to MLP.

I could just go on all day listing things that are on this picture. I see a couple of topless women and one topless man. You know, it's funny, when you see a shirtless man and shirtless women around him, you tend to not think of the women in a sexual way. This must have taken DECADES to make with all its detail. Oh and hey, there's a shark with the American flag biting some guy's head.

[Pyramid Disciple 2]

I thought this was a fairly decent art piece. What I didn't understand about it was what it was supposed to represent. I think it might represent some Hindu god. I mean, I heard that there are literally millions of Hindu gods out there, so there's BOUND to be at least one that looks like this. I like how the guy's hair seems to turn into a tree. I don't know if that was intentional or not.

It looks like this guy is made up of all different kinds of things. He has red hands and the symbol of the Illuminati on its chest and forehead. I think the lines are actually pretty good with the crown. It just looks a little botched up. For the most part, it's decent.

[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.
