Ericho's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Crab on a tricycle]

WOAH, that is a GOOD drawing. When I first heard the name, I wasn't expecting that much. You are an artist who is so good you can make any seemingly random painting look fantastic! I don't know if this was supposed to be a metaphor or something. I really don't care, because it's a great art piece to look at. You are just flawless with colors and I can see why Tom Fulp favorited this.

Everything is drawn in the most realistic way possible. I think that if there was an actual crab on a tricycle, it would probably look just like that. I love how there isn't a cloud in the sky. When you drew this, it looks like you have a real appreciation for nature. Granted, you're not going to see something like this in nature, but it's still great. The crab's legs look like scorpion tails.

[Ryu is Hawt]

It's funny how the first art submission by the creator of the website isn't that well done. Of course, I've never done an art piece myself. It would probably be even worse than yours. What I like about this is how stupid Ryu looks. It's awesome that you make fun of yourself in the author comments. Don't worry, there's plenty of more famous stuff you are known for that you've done for this website.

The eyes are probably the goofiest looking of them all. It seems like you rarely submit regular flash to the website instead of games. It's good that this came from something you actually did work on. Maybe your...other art piece will be better. You'll still a shining influence to all of us here!

[Visit to the Soul Tree]

This is an awesome art piece, mostly because it just works perfectly with its lines. I'm not quite sure what it's even supposed to represent. I'm guessing it's something having to do with moving on with life, but then again, I can just read the author's comments. I wish I could make out what the head stones say. Many of the objects seem to have conflicting color structures. The head stones are more old looking while the landscape is wonderfully bright.

You did a great job of showing off colors with the background too. You get a great sense of perspective when you see the leaves coming closer to you. It almost reminds me of Pringles chips. It seems like this could make a great short story or even a novel. With pictures like this, you really don't need a literature portal. I love how the skull guy looks so ordinary with his clothes.

[Dad Plushie]

I would say that this wouldn't be appropriate for the website, because it's a photograph, but it's still very nice. Some other art sites have photographs too. I imagine it would be hard to prop up something, even a toy, so I can understand why this would take hours. It's amazing how cute someone can look when they're holding a chainsaw ready to cut people up. Well, I guess the picture makes it look more like he's doing tree trimming. I wish I had one of those.

It's always nice to have a photograph that shows off weird things. I have never seen a Dad doll in real life or any marketed Newgrounds doll for that matter. I can't ask you to change things, because it's an actual photograph. It's nice that you live in a pleasant, sunny day. It could have had a bit more to it, but still good.

[Shadgirl]

This is one of the most bizarre things you have ever submitted. This character herself seems to defy standard anatomy understandings. She has these skull tattoos on her breasts, but no nipples. Is she wearing some other thing covering them? It's also weird how she wears this thing that shows the upper and lower half of her thong. Maybe I would have liked it more if she was hotter, again lol.

She has a ton of piercings and a cross tattoo on her forehead. Is she supposed to be a religious warrior or something? It looks like she's holding a pen or marker or something like that. This didn't have as many details as some of your other stuff, but still quite nicely done. It's hard to tell what's her skin and what's her clothes.

Krinkels responds:

Thems ain't tattoos, silly, they're emblems on the bustier. check out the original: http://www.newgrounds.com/art/view/theshadling/shadgirl

[Lucee Starr 2]

I am not that familiar with this character, but I do think she may have been in "Marvel Vs. Capcom 3". Anyway, this shows that you are getting better with these pictures as the artwork is improving. I guess it's because here you show off the proportions better. This picture really looks like it's sticking out at the audience. I don't quite understand what ensigna the background is supposed to be. Her spine seems well aligned with this.

You even have a pretty funny thing for the author comments. Again, you can see all of the nice details put into her clothes. Her face is great too, as it looks like she's really looking for some fun. No, not in that way, although I don't know. It's just a nicely done picture and one of your best sketches.

[See the Madness!]

While not as good as some other Madness stuff, this is still a very nice picture. I think the main reason it works so well is because you get to see all the characters at once. Congradulations on being Krinkels' all time favorite art piece! It's great how there's so much going on here. The way the character is all stitched up reminded me of the "Xombie" series. Dang, I wish that series was back here.

It's cool how a lot of these characters look like they're stuck. I notice Tricky's head at one point, pointing out to the audience. Or maybe he's pointing to some other character there. Either way, it's worth checking out. Hank looks great at the top with that crab arm.

[Commission: Rih]

This entry struck me off as one of your weirdest. I really shouldn't be thinking dirty thoughts when seeing a picture of a furry. It's still neat to see you take on different characters and styles, yet again. I think this picture looks a bit distorted because her body seems a bit out of whack. I think it might have worked better if the picture was slimmer. The moon for the background is really nice.

I can see all the fine little details everywhere. It's not as good as some of your other stuff, like your Team Rocket pictures, but still very nice. It looks like this girl has antennae coming out of her hair. I think the rocky environment she's in isn't bad either. You have to look closely for those knives, though.

[Different Colors]

It's kind of nice to know you didn't revert to full frontal nudity for this. I'm just not that big a fan of those things. I thought this was really a new and innovative style for you. It was great to see you take on a more cartoonish approach. I like how she's just dully staring out at the viewer. The place where she's in is really cool too, especially with the purple colors.

You really have everything colored in terms of standard sexual sadism stuff. The spiked cuffs on her wrists are great. Even her tail has great detail and it actually looks a bit like a stingray if you look closely. Her horn struts out in a pretty cool manner too. Overall, it's a great picture.

[Battle Ready James]

I guess you are a Team Rocket fan after all. As I am a big one myself, it's great to see a picture like this. You really seemed to portray this character the way any fan wants him to be portrayed, as a giant badass. The Best Wishes version wasn't as badass as this, so this is awesome. What I love about this is how there are so many little things on his body that are sticking out. He has the same boots and knife Jessie has.

It would be funny if you had Meowth dressed like this. I love how he's showing off his muscles. It seems like you kind of got his hair wrong, because it should be in strands. Of course, this wasn't meant to accurately portray the way he looks in the show obviously. As before, the "R" is a good background.
