Ericho's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Faster, Dynamite! Kill! p.01]

Great artwork

I always thought that the characters in this looked like they would be in the Archie comics. It also reminded me of that anime called "Panty And Stocking With Garterbelt". It even has somewhat of a similar theme. It's great to know that you are submitting full webcomics to this website. Yes, I know it has fairly few of them, but we can take whatever we get. Dude, I can't believe this was made before the BP oil spill!

You practically predicted the future with this! When I first saw this comic, I thought it was a reference to it. Then again, I realize it couldn't because it claims that it takes place in 2003. Was there another big oil spill at the Persian Gulf that I don't remember? It's as humorous as ever, and Blackie looks good in a bikini.

[Blackie - Combat Heroes]

Ah, this is better

If you think I rated this higher because it has a hotter character in it...you'd be absolutely right. What also makes this work is that I am more familiar with your style. Gosh, it's been so long since I've played with GI Joe toys. I still have like one toy in my room and I can't even remember the guy's name! What's really cool about this is that I think this is a more realistic pose. It shows better proportions, not like I don't like cartoony ones.

This seems to be a nice blend of the more realisic and cartoony parts. I swear the Blackie has some of the stiffest nipples I've ever seen. Does she put startch in those things? The lack of color makes me realize how good she looks in purple. I like how the digits are done in this, particularly with how nicely they seem to be represented, you know.

[Eva - Combat Heroes]

GI Joe?

It's nice to hear where you got your inspiration from. I don't recall there being too many females in GI Joe. I thought this was one of your lesser sketches because it doesn't really show anything unique. A full body sketch is fine, but it needs to have more to it. It's still nice to see the process by which you draw a final picture with. I know there are oodles more you never submitted to this website. I notice how the pants in this picture seem to be especially baggy.

I especially notice how she looks more cartoonish in this. On other occasions, her head is proportioned in a more realistic way. The series itself can be goofy at times, but this is a nice example of how body parts are being exaggerated. The fingers also look quite large in this. It isn't that finely detailed, but it actually is a bit different than some of your other drawings.

[Emperor Eva, General Blackie]

Future?

By "future" do you mean a spinoff from Miss Dynamite? I don't recall this being much different than the previous comics. For whatever reason, this is another nice picture because it shows how good you are with sketches. You rarely see ones that are this well detailed. I like how you make the characters appear to be blushing in this. If I know the relationship between these two, I know that can lead to trouble. It reminds me of this sketch from "The Onion" about a female dictator.

I imagine that if Eva did become a dictator who killed lots of people, it would bring great pride to women. While it isn't the best detailed, it's still nice to see those fancy uniforms. i like how Blackie has a skull for a medal. It would look better with color, but it doesn't need it. Throughout these years, it seems like you have made little difference in your drawing style.

[Rolling Dynamite]

Started out strong

It's interesting to take a look back at all of the stuff you've done over the years. Granted, most of your drawings are of course on your website. I feel honored that you decided to share with us some stuff on this website. It's stuff like that that makes me think of Newgrounds as being a proud member. While I may not always agree with your personal beliefs, I appreciate your talent. It's nice to see such good sketches.

I'm guessing color could have made this better. It of course still works rather nicely as a sketch. I look forward to your later work when you start the show the characters looking hotter. Every art piece is a piece of history on this website. I might be analyzing something too much that's just made to be sexy, but it's just on my mind.

[Sisters]

She's nude!

This is a great picture because of how haunting it is. I guess it would have made more sense to submit this around Halloween time, but it's still a great picture. What makes this so strong is how to appeal to so many different emotions. You obviously get the sexualness from their nudity. The expressions on their faces are also quite conflicting. One doesn't seem to care what she is, while the other shows nothing but concern. I guess conjoined twins might act like this.

And you thought "Total Recall" was something that had a lot of breasts. Yes, I saw that picture this morning. I like how you place such a strong emphasis on the colors. With the blue color, you make a person think of sadness. Although I guess that could be just how this is a pretty disturbing picture and I am glad to have come across it.

[Dr. Robotnik]

2013?!

Dude, I think this is in fact the best Robotnik fanart I have ever seen in my life! As Sonic is a popular character to use, I have seen him a lot. It's a bit hard to make out whatever Robotnik is seeing in his glasses. As it looks very blue, I'm guessing it could be a version of Sonic most likely. I love how you perfectly illuminate this character and show all the light around him. He looks like some giant space monster god ready to take over the Universe.

It's done so realistically it looks almost like it could be live-action. If there ever was another Sonic movie made, you would be the perfect artist for it. I can make out the aurora lights or whatever those things at the poles are called. I hope you continue to make excellent artwork like this. You have truly captured how Dr. Robotnik fits as a villian and his place in this insane world. The best part might be his devilish grin, which speaks for itself.

[War Paint]

War paint indeed

From the preview icon, it looked like this might be a picture of Optimus Prime. It's just that I have seen and reviewed so many awesome pictures of Optimus Prime. This is, of course, fantastic in its own right. It makes you wonder if there was a contest to show this specific robot. Of course, any author would really like versions of his or her own work. I think the coolest thing would be how you can see the blue handprint of someone. It's like someone tried to attack the robot, but was blasted off.

In fact, there seem to be bits of blue that are going all over the place. It really does fit the standard definition of "War Paint". It's great how there are so many fine details on this robot and it seems to be just at the right level of detail you would need. Even the background is very nicely shaded, with how you get a good sense of him being in a light environment.

[OTHER SIDE]

Very moving

Robot Day has given us some great artwork. It's awesome to look back and see all of the great things we have to thank for this. The best part about this picture is how strongly you put the emotion in. It makes you seem like the robot is trying to connect with the girl on the other side of the window. I'm not even sure how they would, but it's quite well done. It makes it seem like the girl is another version of the robot. It doesn't even look much like a robot here, more of a human skeleton!

With that being said, it was great how you put so much style into the robot's skeletonic appearance. I can see a sign or something that says no robots allowed. Seeing as how the robot is on one side, I'm guessing that's supposed to be on the other side of the window frame. It seems like it has sort of a brain. I like how there's all those zeroes and ones on screen.

[Robotic Postapocalyptic]

Now that's finely detailed!

I think the only part about this I did not like was how the robots looked too similar. Then again, they do have different designs on their computer monitor faces. It's nice how you went for a truly terrifying look for these creatures. I love how there's so much detail put into their wild circuitry as it looks like they're full of molten lava or something. The background is also great, especially with how it takes place over a really dark area. I appreciate the different styles used in this.

It looks like some of them have horns, but it's hard to tell if it's that or cords on their heads. I especially love how one has this really awesome sword. It could be a sword but then again, it could also be a part of that character's body. I really enjoyed the utter absurdity and badassery of the whole ting. A robotic post apocalyptic scenario probably would look like this.
