Ericho's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Naissance de Pico et Darnell]

Wow

It's stuff like this that makes me realize how big a fan I was of sophisticated art when I was younger. Now that my mom's a painter, I should get more into it! What was so awesome about this was how it looked exactly like a Renaissance painting! The colors and shadings were just perfectly done! It does seem a bit out of place to be doing this for the Pico characters. Whatever, this is still incredibly well done and great to look at.

It's probably based on another painting that I can not remember. The cutest part is probably how baby Darnell has a mohawk. It's especially disturbing with all the skulls and stuff around them. Maybe I'm too vulgar to think that there should be violence and/or more sexiness in it. Gee, I'm afraid I haven't lost my faith in art.

[NG Vaultboy: Level 5]

Seems less effective

I don't know why, but this reminds me of the guy on the Monopoly box. Except in color, of course. This one kind of confuses me because the person is not depicted with a weapon as they were in the previous level. Then again, I suppose that bare knuckles would deliver more pain than a boxing glove. Granted, I would nothing about boxing or anything like that, as I'm just not interested in that stuff. I like how the guy really looks like he's ready to fight.

You got the shadow and shadings really well done in this. While it isn't the most detailed, you get a good sense of how his shadow contrasts with the rest of the picture. It's more authentic when there's no background. Sorry to be the first person to not give you a 10. It's still worth seeing, because it's simply a nice art piece.

[Hot Dog]

How adorable

Dude, I could never eat something as wonderful as this adorable little hot dog! The best thing is probably how you put those great rosy cheeks on it. It does look rather feminine for a food that appears to be male. I love how it's presented right smack dab in the middle of the picture. Everything in the picture exists for the purpose of focusing on this cute little guy. I love how sincere his face looks as he stares up at the world around him.

I also love his little mustard tie. It's like you're trying to put a crazy electric vibe onto his body. Whatever the intention is, the end product is fantastic as it gives off such a great sense of innocence. While not that well detailed, it's still great to look at. If I ever in my life saw a hot dog as adorable and mild mannered looking at this, I would let it live.

[NG VaultBoy: Level 4]

Here's where it gets sweet

It's great to finally be adding actual weapons to the roster that these level icons have. This is great because it gives off a great sense of fighting. Again, you use the shadow effects well by showing the parts of the character in the background where the only background is the website. You seem to make a lot of submissions like that. I like how the glittery parts of his boxing glove show off like sharp knives.

You're giving off a good sense of being ready to fight. It's great to look back at all the stuff I had to go through in order to get as high as I am today. As you have many submissions already, it looks like you're probably get all of them done eventually. It looks like one of the longest running art series I have seen here. You don't think much about that in other works.

[Sleepy time]

Nicely done

What I really like about this is how quaint everything is. I guess I've been on the Internet too long as I think there might be underlying sinister things to it. I guess I was thinking there'd be a serial killer or something lurking about. I am so glad I accept this for the pure innocence that it is. There are simply a wonderful arrangement of bright colors being used well. It's everything you would expect an old timey bedroom to look like.

There isn't that big of an attempt to be flashy, because you obviously don't need one. Wonderful bedrooms are great just the way that they are. It looks like this might be a secret entrance to something rather than a skylight. It's great for us all to capture this innocence. There are some great use of shadings here, especially on the mirrors.

[Pumpkin Tower]

Some of the best!

Dude, this is by far one of the sweetest pictures I've ever come across here! It helps that every single detail is completely perfect! The description made me realize it was also supposed to be a Halloween art piece. It is just great to look at the vast amount of detail put into this! One of the most impressive feats is how the tower itself looks like some monster with trees for claws. All of the jack o lanterns have the best detail in them too.

It doesn't even look so much as a tower like an evil city. There are these big building extensions every way to emphasize the evil in this place! I can tell there's witches but there are some other shapes that I am unsure of, such as the bat or dragon monster. It sets up a fantastic rainbow of colors of which pinpoint to the right service. It's probably the best Halloween piece of fanart I've ever seen! Long pictures are always good.

[NG VaultBoy: Level 3]

He looks ready to fight

This isn't one of my favorite of these submissions, probably because I'm not a fan of this icon. The coolest thing is that that is really a nice gesture. I think it has to set some record for the hand gesture that has the most use of fingers, including the thumb. I guess the thumb doesn't really matter on some gestures. The best part of this is how you consistently keep up a nice style of animation. It makes me proud to look at how far I have come.

While there are not a lot of shadings, they are stil done well. As this is a fairly simplistic picture, you don't have to worry about it so much. I like how he's grinning at the audience. It gives you the implication that as your icon, he's telling you how awesome you are for getting this far. A popped collar is also a really cool touch in this.

[Luis]

Steroids are good

I could tell from a mile away that it was Gonzossm who made this. You always create the most ridiculously muscular characters in your submissions. It's been awhile since I've played "Portal Defenders". I will always remember it as the first game that had medals on it! It's hard to believe I remember it well because I don't even recall Luis' design in this. Of course he would favorite this! I wish you good luck on your future works.

You wouldn't think a lollipop would be much of a weapon, but it can be with Luis around. It has to be the literally sweetest weapon I've ever laid eyes on. I love how each muscle is so well detailed. If I ever have to take a class on the muscular system later in my life, I'll go to you. He kind of has a silly expression on his face, that fits you.

[NG VaultBoy: Level 2]

Another nice picture!

I am glad that I am now a lot more familiar with this series. I know just what to expect. I can't really say anything bad about this, because this is pretty much exactly what an art submission for this would look like. You show a great sense of having really bright, vibrant colors. While it's not that detailed, I am still very glad it exists. It reminds me of the all the times I had when I slowly rose up on the ranks to new levels. That lollipop sure looks tasty.

It's really cool how you managed to put some good shading and shadows on this. What really worked was how it was a bit out of place with the shadow. It's presented as being besides the actual color of the website. I would think that level icons would have boxes around them to show what they hold. I'm of course being too nitpicky, this is good.

2?

This was certainly strange because it was one of the most random and non-sequitor things I've ever come across. Then again, the artwork is very well done. I thought maybe the kid was wearing a mask but that does seem to be part of his actual body. I love the background, particularly with how you're giving such an interesting vision of what's there. I will not try to make any rhyme or reason out of this. I imagine it's just something you thought of randomly.

It's kind of creepy how he appears to be looking at the viewer as if asking a question. The shadings and everything else are wonderful in this. This is an extremely realistic picture with gorgeous colors. It's funny how I'm reviewing this, as at this very moment, my mom is working on art herself! His head does seem a bit too big for his body.
