Ericho's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Knock Knock]

Who's there?

Wow, this is a rather odd art piece. Granted, I have seen tons of odd art pieces before, but I guess this one might stick out because it's not THAT odd. The weird thing is that everything takes place in a rather ordinary looking environment. I guess it might take place in the olden days, given that the building looks a tad old. Of course, it wouldn't look old in that era it took place or whatever. It was good how you put distinctive animal skulls for every character.

The use of color effects is very nicely used as well. I especially find it cool how it manages to be so colorful even though it takes place at night. You would think there wouldn't be much in that situation. I also like the details put into the little cracks on their skulls. It doesn't try to show much mayhem, just a strange picture.

[Zombie Steven]

Well pronounced

This is another nice drawing because it harkens back to your darker stuff. This is somewhat of a combination between the darker and goofier stuff you have done. The tone is goofy, but the more realistic lines show more matureness in how it's done. How often has that rising sun background been used? The lines are very well done in this. Well, I imagine they would be as much as you could realistically portray a zombie.

I also think it's really cool how all of his body hair is shown. It is kind of a strange picture all around, but certainly worth checking out. It's nice to see how the shadows effect everything. That brain sandwich he's holding actually looks kind of tasty! I hope I do not get a craving for any exotic food like that even after I'm dead!

[Shades]

That's you?

Of all the stuff you have that I've looked at, I think this is the first time I've seen you with a picture of yourself. I kind of think you resemble Chris Niosi, no offense. Of course, I wouldn't understand why you'd take offense at that anyway. This is a very good picture because the shading is just fantastic. It's quite a departure from your first submission which was way more cartoony. It's great to know that you have worked with different styles.

You've painted yourself as a really serious guy in here. It seems like something you would see on a poster to represent the oppressed lower class or something. The sunglasses help show that you lack emotion. It looks like it was made with chalk or something. It's stuff that this that makes you look like a real visionary.

[it's a caricature]

Caricature?!

Dude, this isn't a caricature, this is one of the best drawings I have ever seen! I always kind of thought of most caricatures as being a bit insulting, but this is the complete opposite! I wish I knew who the people in this picture were supposed to be. The colors and shading are absolutely fantastic. It is some of the most realistic drawings I have ever seen on the art portal or the entire Internet! You do your fellow artists proud with this.

I never thought of caricatures as having color or shading for that matter. You have created possibly the caricature with the most depth I have ever seen. The lines are incredibly well drawn and indented very well. It's great to show an old person with a very young person for good contrast. I wish your work was more popular!

[Massive boner]

Not stupid

This got a decent score so it's nothing to be ashamed of. The coolest thing is how silly the characters look in this. The biggest suggestion I would make is that you should probably put in a background. The thing that does work the best is that the characters really let their emotions tell the scene. Oh, I'm not that familiar with the "Star Trek" mythos, but I now understand why he would blush the color green. Kirk looks so bishounen as a blonde.

I'm surprised there weren't any blatant gay jokes in this. You can still call me a fan of Star Trek, simply because the most recent movie they made was one of the best films I have ever seen. It's cool to see the emotions slowly accerelate. It feels like it could have been done in a few fewer panels. Hey, that's a funny thing I just said.

the new star trek movie was a horrid disgrace to the franchise of star trek and should die in the ground

[Untitled.]

Fairly interesting

I was expecting something ordinary for something with this title. It was more interesting than I found, if far from the most detailed picture out there. What's interesting is that you manage to put a good sense of emotion in the character. She looks like some kind of cyborg that was imprisoned. It could have had more detail, but it still works with its shading and especially its background. Black tears are a nice dark thing too.

That has always weirded me out when I saw that in regards to makeup. I think that probably is the actual color of their tears. Oh yeah, seeing as how her eyes are literally black, that makes sense. You see, the lack of a description or even a title leave the story to the watcher. The lipstick does a great job of really coming off the character, too.

[Skull Mask]

Wonderfully done picture

At first I thought this was supposed to be Skeletor or some other character. It's reassuring to know that this was apparently an original creation that was in no way cartoonish. The clothes make it look like it belongs to a nun or some holy worker. I guess it's supposed to fit in with the irony of something ugly in a religious world. The colors are just wonderfully done with this. You can practically see the stained glass coming out at you in the background.

I don't know if this is intended to be spiritual or anything, but it's dang good. The way there is so much detail in this praying figure is flawless. I can't tell if the purple stuff below the mask is its skin or part of the mask. It's so good, I don't think priests would be offended by it being in a church. You are so good with your pencil.
