Ericho's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Nice Fire]

The first on NG?

Woah, this stuff isn't numbered or anything, so thank you for telling me this was the first art submission in the comments. It's interesting because this one is actually of pretty high quality in itself, so it's great to see how far we have come since then. I guess I'm only giving this a 5 because of how significant it is. It's not much besides a simple sketch. It is interesting how you got it from a notebook. I have notebooks full of stuff I could submit as art.

In fact, why don't I do that? This could use some background or something, and I would think a notebook would have lines. It's still great to see where this art all started. I should have starting reviewing it when it first came out! Now I have to get caught up on all the great art work that I've missed over the years! At least we have this for the memories.

[Cardboard Cobain]

Cardboard images?

I'm not quite sure what you mean by that, but it matters little because this is a really awesome picture. It's always great when artists show tributes to their heroes. It's great how every single thing here has a different color and shading. It's great to see how it all weaves together to form a great picture. Again, you are really good with hair even though this was not shown with little hairs. I love how the background is made up of these strange red fibers or something.

Collages are always something I have looked for in terms of art. While I haven't seen that many photos of the guy, this is done very well to make a realistic portrait. Were you trying to show trouble in his eyes? I guess I've reviewed too many art pieces I keep looking for hidden meaning. I'm surprised this doesn't have more views.

[Yum Yum Java]

Oh, I get it

While I haven't seen the actual movie, I understand what this is about. This is referring to the fact that the movie features hearts being ripped out of people's bodies. This combines it with candy hearts (at least I hope). I have to admit that this seems like a really bold step for you in terms of artwork. It was like you were really attempting to do something different and it worked out great. This works well because the lines are very curvy and nicely done all around.

The villian presented here has a very disturbing appearance to it. I guess that might be played for comedic or scary effect. The red background makes it particularly suiting for the hearts and blood and everything. I also love the stains that are on the side of the white frame. He looks like he has nails painted red.

[Stamper]

Very realistic

I guess it doesn't help that I haven't seen that many pictures of Stamper, but this was very well done. I especially love how it seems like you really went out of your way to make this realistic. I like how at the bottom his torso just seems to be blowing apart. Or maybe that's supposed to represent the actual canvas or something. I do not like it how his forehead is so big. It kind of makes him seem too cartoonish.

It's great to know that I have seen people who dress and even appear like that. It's definitley something you can see any time late at night. The shadings were done really well with this even though there wasn't color. You're really making the scrapbook look authentic. It's nothing that flashy, it's just a picture of a scary looking person, lol.

[Agent Argento]

Hard to comprehend

I couldn't tell if this was supposed to be. I guess it's probably just meant to be a ridiculous surrealist work because you have done stuff like that before. The coolest thing is looking at the detail he put into the flowers in his hair. I have no idea what's going on, but overall it's pretty well done. The bricks in the background are extremely nice as well. I even liked the grass that's in the fore/background because of how sketchy it is.

It's weird because Agent Argento is the most cartoonish thing about this. His nose especially makes him look silly. I like how all his facial features just seem to be pointing to the side of his face that he's facing. It looks like his gun has a dart or something on the end of it. Probably the only reason I didn't like it more was because I couldn't understand if it was supposed to be a joke or serious or what.

[Wonderland Redux]

Quite nicely done!

I must have a dirty mind because I think "Down the rabbit hole" implies something dirty. What matters is that this has some really good shading to it. I guess I'm so familiar with the Disney version of "Alice In Wonderland", I'm not used to other versions. That's probably the only reason I didn't give this a 10. It's still great to look at and shows how you put real emotion in it. I'm surprised something so highly rated doesn't have more reviews.

I think my favorite effect would have to be the Cheshire Cat in the background. The Cheshire Cat is probably my favorite character from the franchise. It's pretty creepy to see the white rabbit bleeding like that. The Mad Hatter looks like a pimp in this. Of course, given how early versions of fairy tales weren't as cheerful as we think, I wouldn't be surprised.

[Change You Can Believe In 3]

Joe Biden?

This is a well done picture, but probably not one of my favorites because I didn't know who it was at first. As the previous two were Hillary and Obama, it was pretty easy to realize this was Biden. My gosh, he looks like a real egghead in this. I mean literally, his head looks like a giant egg. This is very well done, because it emphasizes the individual spots that are stained by blood. I like how one eye is more revealed than the other.

Normally, when you see that on a zombie, it's because the skin is removed where the zombie's eye is. This time, however, it's just opened differently. I really like the background, especially how the green has these little dark spots on it. Your zombie stuff kind of reminds me of the stuff by theonewithoutaname. I love how there's little bits of his skin falling off at different places.

[Change You Can Believe In]

Ooh, one of your best!

It's interesting to do zombie pics of actual people. I believe there was something else called "Hollywood Zombies", but this actually seems better than that. What really works is that you get the splashes of blood flying everywhere just right. The way his nose is ripped off makes him look like a pig. He seriously doesn't even look like a black man in this, he looks like the skin color of any zombie. I like how there are different tears in his face.

The blood is also black (or at least dark red) near the places around his mouth. It's stuff like that that puts depth in your work. The colors make it seemed like this was drawn on scrap paper or something. Well, it certainly is a change from what we in America previously had for Presidents. The creases make it seem more authentic, too.
