Ericho's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Children combat]

Looks GREAT!

I don't know what the finished product is going to be like, but this art piece is FLAWLESS! It kind of reminds me of the stuff by Kol-Belov for some reason. Don't worry, this is fantastic in its own right. The creatures down below kind of look like the monster Jinzo from "Yu-Gi-Oh". Of course, that franchise could only hope to be as awesome as this! Upon closer inspection, I don't think two of these creatures in the entire picture are alike!

I can't even tell who to root for, all I know is that it's awesome to look at! Even the background is great, putting up a good realistic cloudy night theme. These guys look too grown up to even be called children! I have no idea what's going on, but everything is completeley awesome in the best ways imaginable! Every crease and scar on the creatures' bodies is wonderfully done. I am glad to be introduced to your art style!

[Angel Named Billy]

Ah yes

I believe I have seen this image numerous times before, even if I am not sure where. Maybe it was in a submission, maybe it was looking in the art portal itself. Whatever it was, this was a pretty good picture. It's not something that I like that much, and I really don't want to come off as a homophobe by saying that. I just don't think it's the most detailed art piece out there. It's still interesting and the overall art is nice to look at.

I guess transvestites deserve all the popularity they can get too. The silliest part is probably how the lips are just winding off to one side. This guy has so much makeup on, it's funny. Yes, I am more attracted to pictures that have really hot women in them and this was quite the contrary. I can still appreciate it for being a detailed thought piece.

[Carnage]

Good beyond words

This is easily one of the greatest art pieces I have ever seen submitted to the portal. What's fantastic about this is that the lights and shadings are simply perfect. I can't ask for any room for improvement because there isn't any! The coolest part is probably how there just seem to be bits of Carnage's flesh just flying everywhere. It's like he has spikes coming out of his back. Even the background which is like he's near a wall near light is awesome!

The sharp teeth are extremely scary as well as they appear in color so similar to his skin. It's amazing someone made this, because it seems like you need to go into professional artwork. Even your signature was done in a really cool way. It's like you can see the blood vessels that are just flying around his body. An awesome tribute any fan of ANYTHING should like.

[The Great Migration]

Now THAT is sweet

This is an absolutely fantastic picture because it is just so freaking adorable! It's made even better by your author's comments. It seems like something that would be from a classic anime film such as "My Neighbour Totoro". Those cat creatures look like giant pieces of cotton flying across the sky. Actually, they kind of look a bit more like those rice balls you see in Japan. The mounts of ice cream make it even better!

It's out of the ordinary to use this kind of angle for the picture, but it works. It gives you a great oppurtunity to suck in the beauty of the landscape. The colors and shading in this are fantastic, like made with the best watercolor. Dude, you are an inspiration to all aspiring artists out there. I can just imagine those giant cats meowing across the sky.

[The Cold]

Nice and dark

It's amazing how resourceful when you use your negative space like this. The highlight is probably more of the way the dark streaks go everywhere. You can associate with this character somewhat as she appears to be a mother. It's hard to tell if it's the same character in every image being presented. The most disturbing part is probably when the figure on the top has her hand fall off. I see some veins or strings like that coming out.

The strands of hair seem to be twisting around the picture. I think I might see some shadowy image like an angel or something in it. Another sure fire way to really create scary imagery is to lack the pupils. Every single thread of hair just seems to be jolting out near itself. It could be a bit more detailed with maybe more emphasis on the figures.

[Salas Fingles]

Wonderfully done!

Judging from the title, I thought it would be about a Mexican theme. I guess that might sound racist, but it turned out to be something much better than I expected. This is a piece where you capture the essence and appeal of a character. The coolest thing is how wonderful this shading is. Everything just blends so perfectly together and the shading is near perfect. While not the most detailed picture, it's definitley worth seeing.

There's more things in the background than you would think. I can see some shadowed figure to Salad Fingers' right. I think there might be two birds or something in the upper left hand corner. It's so cool how you don't try anything fancy at all, but just go for how beautiful something is in terms of how it can be represented in a simple way. You almost feel sad as he's crying.
