Ericho's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Tarnold]

I guess I would have enjoyed this more if I could understand what it was supposed to be a picture of. It kind of reminds me of one of those masks from the "Crash Bandicoot" games. It might have been an original design. I guess I would have liked it more if there had been some background. It's still a nicely done picture, if only because of how ridiculous it is. I like how its tongue has these little taste buds on it that just stick out so much.

The sweat and yellow claws around the creature's body are also good. I'll probably never understand what this thing is, but it's certainly a unique picture. It looks terrified even though it's a terrifying thing in itself. I appreciate the non-sequitor nature of this. There's a lot of nice, bright colors here, too.

[Doji]

I didn't find this picture to be that appealing because it didn't have much in it. I mean, yes, I appreciate how there's a little green cat and how that can be funny but it didn't add up to much for me. I do appreciate how colorful and silly this guy looks. Wait, that's not a cat, that's a raccoon. I guess I have to give you points now for this being well drawn. It looks like he might be a stuffed animal because of the crosses on his chest.

It seems like this would have worked better if it was part of a funny comic strip or manga. It certainly looks manga-esque. As you fairly see color in those things, this is a bit out of the ordinary. At least I learned how to write "tasty ear" in Japanese or Mandarin, perhaps. It's fairly fine for what it is.

[Head Shot!]

I found this to be a very artistic picture! Granted, it's fairly gory, but this is Newgrounds of course! My favorite part of it is probably how well the bullet goes through his head. I'm not sure about how strong bullets are but I think it's rare there are ones strong enough to go through heads. You'd think there'd be some blood from the face or forehead. Of course, from this angle, it's more realistic that it isn't like that, I suppose.

I hope you got a good grade on your college report. It's nice to see how he seems to be kicking up dirt as he's being shot. That might just be part of the background, but it looks pretty cool to me. Those bullets on his chest didn't do him any good. I like how it gives you a lot of imagination to think of how it came to be that way.

[smokey]

I think this is a decent picture. I guess the main reason I like it is because it works so well in its simplicity. At the same time, it might have been a bit too simple. I guess there should have been more detail, but at least it was cool to see the background sketches and everything. I like how this guy looks so cartoonish, especially with his mouth just hanging out in such a silly manner. It reminds me of a tough guy from Brookyln.

The lines are done very nicely. It probably could have been more creative, but it's still a really cool picture to look at. It looks like there's some kind of cloud or something in the background. For whatever reason this was made, it's really neat to look at. It even looks like his cigarette smoke is trying to punch something!

[Moonscraper]

This is another fantastic art piece that I am so glad to have come by! It mostly works because it truly creates a wonderful world that people can live in. I love how some parts of the city seem to be more like modern times with how the buildings are made. Even the science fiction ships are showing rust. I'm pretty sure that's supposed to be the Starship Enterprise there. The colors are absolutely gorgeous too.

You can see yourself as the kid shown in this picture. The way he just peers out at the world is just how we would. It looked like there may be some explosions going on, or at that was just clouds perhaps. There's so many little things going on in this picture. The decayed starship has this visible tunnel going under it where people are transported or something. It's a wonderful world.

[Action Cat!]

This is an awesome picture because it shows a cat being awesome. I admit it looks a tad silly with how the CGI is done, but still great. An image like this probably wasn't meant to be taken seriously anyway. There could have been some background. I love how there's so many lines to represent all of the bits of the cat's fur. It's adorable how he has such a cute little smile on his face.

This would make an awesome game. I can't believe I never heard of this SNL sketch before. You'd think I'd know about everything that involves cats everywhere. I am so glad you modeled this after a pet that you lost. I know how hard that can be for someone.

[kermit the mob frog]

This was a pretty strange picture. I guess the implication is that Miss Piggy killed herself and Kermit is weeping for her. What struck me as weird was how it didn't seem to have any joke to it. Of course, it doesn't need to have a joke as long as it's well drawn. I think this was pretty well done, but it just didn't make that much sense to me. It does seem like you went out of your way to make something original.

It could have used a background. I can see all the marker coloring pretty well in this. It reminds me of the days before Photoshop where we only had pens to color with. I probably will get around to submitting some older stuff I made. He was part of the mob so maybe he was the one who killed her?

[DAD Wallpaper]

I find this really cool, probably because of how ridiculous Dad looks in this. It reminds me of some comic books that Linkara read where he showed how characters had ridiculously huge muscles in comparison to their head size. This guy looks like he doesn't even have a head. It works better with him, because this is intended to be more of a comedic picture. At least I think it is. It makes you realize how well you can use the color purple.

I like how there's a lot of hsading, especially on his arms. Heck, his legs look too small to support his lower body. As its wallpaper, I can understand why there's a blank part. I would probably never buy a calendar from this website. No offense, I just don't have a lot of money to spend on stuff like that.

[Castle Crashers Ad]

Dude, this is a very great art piece and I'm glad to have come across it! It mostly works so well because it shows just what you can do with all these colors. The Castle Crushers series wasn't that well known for good graphics, but you have shown us some great designs! Not only do I see characters representing most of the primary colors, but also also creatures that bear them. I didn't know there was so much to this game. Well, if a game's big enough like Mario or Pokemon, there will be lots of characters, obviously.

I guess the one eyed knight is supposed to be the purple one. The orange one, I guess, is that devil in the lower left hand corner. Everything just looks so wonderfully flashy in this. It's like a classic Drew Struzan poster, only longer. It makes you realize how big their foreheads are. I hope to play this someday.

[Killer]

I guess this probably was better than your previous art entry. What really struck me as weird about this is how it had such a long story to it. I bet all of us have done something like this in our class. I can remember using paper like this and I can even remember using handwriting like this! What's really cool is how I even still have some of those things. Hey, maybe that's something I should submit to the art portal!

While not a great picture, I really like this for what it represents. It shows how far you have come over the years. Just do us a favor and submit really good stuff to the art portal, eh? Ah, you were psychotic even as a little kid. Surprised you didn't fail for saying violent things.
