Ericho's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Puppy VS. Laser]

THAT'S hilarious

I just love this picture because it simply shows off how pathetic people can look. It's amazing that there's this monstrous robot and this cute little puppy. The artwork is fantastic. I like how the robot has so much detail put into it, especially with the weird purple background behind it. The puppy is so simple, but I guess the robot is so big it could qualify as a regular sized dog. It looks like the robot has mouse ears or something.

I like how parts of the puppy are just floating around. It's kind of like what you would imagine a puppy in the Madness Combat universe to look like. I love how the energy is all being charged with the robot's laser. It must have taken forever to make that background. This is a wonderful piece of art that everyone should see. I am so glad to be introduced to your awesome style and the shading's great too.

[Demonic P-Bot]

Demonic?!

Dude, I didn't find this creature as being demonic as I did find it to be simply insane. This is one of your best detailed art submissions ever. What's really cool is how everything is done in CGI. You don't see that much on Newgrounds, but when it is there, it's certainly worth taking note of. He looks like some kind of zombie that is covered in blood, which I guess is pretty demonic. I loved the little story you included.

Who needs a literature portal when you can use the art portal for one? I love how his face appears to be dragging as if its coming off his body. It barely even looks like P-Bot, that's how deranged this picture is. There are just so many good things to look at. While there isn't that much variety in terms of colors, the colors are still very nicely done. The shading is good, especially with the background in the hallway.

[Overwatch]

That's really cool!

While I guess it could have had more action, it's still a wonderful art piece. The strongest part is how the lines are drawn so beautifully. I like how you get a good look at what's going on even if you can't quite understand it. Is it perhaps someone who is trying to help someone surrounded by killer robots? I will admit that the hover robots probably look best in this. I like all the numbers and everything that are on the top.

It probably doesn't mean all that much, but it's very nice to look at. It looks like a nice cyberpunk place, not to be confused with steampunk. There are just so many details like how there are papers flying by the buildings. I even notice there's a meteorite on the lower side of the screen. I'm not sure where it fits in, but it's cool.

[Sounds Better Upside Down]

How strange again

I think what struck me as odd about this was actually how it wasn't really that odd. Judging from the title, I thought it was going to be a satanic face that appeared upside down. Either that or an old woman like in that famous optical illusion. It still managed to be pretty impressive in its own right, if only because of how well it was drawn. Gee, I am looking too forward to seeing hot girls in drawings. I like how you seem to show three different versions of the same sketch.

The early sketches seem to show what it was like before being completed. The colors are fairly lush in this. It mostly works because you don't try to be too elaborate or anything. You're just showing what it's like to listen to music upside down and stuff. From this angle, it looks like she's hanging from her feet.

[Mace In Your Face]

Not what I was expecting

I was thinking this piece was going to be about someone who had mace in their face. By that I mean mace the thing like pepper spray that those cops use. It was pretty nice to see something completely different. Those protests have been going on too long anyway. The picture itself could probably be more detailed, as it doesn't have a lot going on. It still has a pretty strong structure, especially with the background.

I like the mushrooms and how they just seem to be there to look pretty. Well, I guess most background stuff is created for that purpose anyway. It was hard to come up with a central theme for this. I was thinking of Samus because that's who I think of when I imagne action girls in blue spandex. She would have been hotter.

[Da KnuckleUps]

A bit strange

I guess I'm just so used to color stuff this kind of thing sort of catches me off guard. This is still a fairly decent art piece, because it shows what kind of work you have been striving for. So far, this apparently hasn't been made into a cartoon. It must be interesting to look back at rough sketches of stuff. It's hard to tell what weapon she has, but I'm pretty sure it's a baseball bat. I'm just not a fan of rough sketches as a single entry because I always look for finished looks.

I think I like it best how the sketches are clearly visible in this. By "sketches" in this, I mean the rough lines. I guess every sketch I see of girls who look like they're going to kick ass reminds me of Miss Dynamite. While this doesn't look that good, I am sure the finished product will look a lot nicer. I think she might be wearing gloves from how they are drawn.

[Wonderland Shakedown]

That's awesome!

It's a bit hard for me to tell what the exact kind of style it is you are imitating. It's simply so good in its own right! I think its strongest point is how you give these characters so much dimension, although I don't know why Alice is black or brown or whatever. I love backgrounds, but I think the lack of a background here put strong emphasis on the actual picture. There's so many great things going on even if the picture isn't that big. It kind of reminds me of Sam and Max, if only because there's a gun totting bunny.

It's quite animesque. It reminds me of all those "Alternate Universe" pictures that show up in fanart. This was a wonderful example, even though I don't think you were intending anything specific. I guess the prescence of a gun (or maybe a sword) is why it's rated "T". There are certainly all kinds of things to make fanart of, but I rarely see Alice In Wonderland.

[Attack Mode]

You a Yu-Gi-Oh fan?

I've seen various renditions of the M-bot, but never one like this. It's amazing because it doesn't even look like the same character anymore. The best part is probably his claws. Claws are things that I have always been a huge fan of, particularly when they stratch the ground like these do. I like how M-bot is presented with these really sharp teeth. I know it was supposed to look like a dog, but the teeth make it somewhat more shark-like. The silhouette is a nice touch as well.

It's also great how you put the NG background in. Well, it's not the exact skyline, but the blue buildings are just a theme here. It just goes to show you that every part of the picture should be well made. It's always great to see the little mechanics of the robotic creature. I would love to see a flash animated showing this guy in action banning spammers.

[Mindchamber Wallpaper]

Wondefully done

This makes me realize how much the MindChamber robot looks like a Transformer. I can tell the original design was influenced by one. While not the most detailed picture out there, it's one that is certianly worth noting. I like how parts of its robotic skeleton (without the color plates) seem to be showing, as if giving off the impression that it's returning from a battle or something. The stance is also great as it's one that is ready to fight.

I like how there is so much detail put into all of the nailed down parts of its body. I guess the yellow thing in the background is just a variant of MindChamber's name. It's nice to do a tribute to someone else here. You're really good with facial features here, especially as he looks so scowling. All around, it sets a very well made tone and stuff.

[LilGirlBigGun]

I remember this

I think there was a contest or something about a little girl with a big gun. If so, then I think you probably have won. It helps that you have such a great background here and such a strong emphasis on the weapon itself. I especially love the way the part of the gun creates those little white and yellow sparks. And yes, it helps that this character has some pretty nice breasts and a good body. I, of course, appreciate this mostly for the strong colors being used.

Vibrant colors are something that I always look for in art pieces. I may have been here too long, but I kind of think the girl looks like Nene. I bet you had a lot of fun putting so much detail in this. I can always look at this and notice new things, like how there's a broken street light. The shading is very well done, something I always look for too.
