Ericho's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Calender Faill]

Incredibly cruel

This was, well, a really interesting picture to look at because it's just so insane. You come off with a style that is completely your own to mock the medium. What's amazing is that these characters by themselves mock innocence. You have managed to cross the line even further by showing them with such innocent appeal. You misspelled "fail" but I don't think it matters. It seems like a Norman Rockwell painting gone mad.

Darnell's hair should probably be bigger, but I'm just being nitpicky. Nene's hand looks like it's made of paper. I guess that might go along with the calendar idea, but overall it's nice to look at. It even seems like something that would be in Mad magazine, by the same artists who work on Alfred Neuman. The smiling reminds me of him.

[Deadpool vs Powdered Toastman]

How nonsensical

Dude, that looks exactly like Deadpool does in the comics! It seems just like what official artwork would churn out! Powdered Toast Man looks a little updated for a more modern comic book appearance, which is great. I guess he's not really a meta guy like Deadpool, but both are at least involved in wacky adventures. Of course, Deadpool would be one who would engage in activity with any crazy character. A bit nonsensical, but still great.

The background is also good, because it fits the stereotypical action comic book. I would love to see this developed into an actual comic book. I love how confused Deadpool looks. The lines and body movements are really well done and emphasize the parts well. I've been saying John K. is a big art influence to many people, but I think this is the first actual fanart featuring one of his characters.

[Look at my cute little toy...]

Totally weird

I could have sworn I saw this character one time before, but I can't remember where. It seems a lot like something Jhonen Vasquez would create. He was known for having a really dark style of drawing with a lot of detail. What was awesome about this was that there was such a wide variety of weird creatures in this. The most disturbing one is probably the green blob toy thing. It looks like it had its lower half slashed like it had a C-section!

I'd say this takes place on the Moon, but I can see the Moon literally grinning in the background. I now believe that it takes place on a meteor near the Moon. It seems like everything is slanted so much. It's amazing how much of an odd world you can create with a single image. The toy the central character is holding looks like a red doughnut! Even the stars are very well detailed.

[The Shadow Men]

What a day!

I am so glad to finally be able to review something of yours the exact day it came out. This is the kind of picture that really grows on you. While it did lack color, it made up for it in style. I was just so impressed at how much dimension you gave everybody with those black lines outlining them. Even the pointed claws, a staple of your artwork seem to take on a whole new transformation. It's hard to make out the faces because they're so ridiculous.

By ridiculous, I mean in a good way. It's amazing how many different degrees of macabre artwork you can put out. The clothes are so dark it even looks like the flesh colored parts are sort of just jumbled around. You know how to create a great way of emotion with the lines on their faces. I am glad you will never stop at this!

[Naruto VS Fullmetal Alchemist]

Hmmm...

I guess it doesn't help that I like Naruto more than Fullmetal Alchemist. Then again, I've never read or watched the Fullmetal Alchemist manga/anime. What I didn't like about this was how it wasn't even really a battle. It was just the guy's hand going through Naruto's face. I would have liked it a lot more if you could have seen how the two fight and those different styles clashing. I guess this isn't a bad piece, because the drawing is pretty good.

Naruto really seems to have huge hair in this, almost looking like a Super Saiyan. I also wish that the FMA character could have been shown from the front. The overall art is still nice, especially with how the hand is drenched in blood. I like how Naruto has such a shocked look on his face as he is being killed. The background was okay.

[Madness: Operation promo art]

That's it for the rating?!

I am so proud to raise the score of this art piece by 0.04 points, because it deserves it! You have truly created your own world of Madness Combat! The coolest thing is that Hank himself looks like some kind of demon in this. He even seems more of an original character with such a unique design. The spines practically bursting out of his coat are freaking sweet as well! I love the detail put into all the dead bodies.

He looks more like a goblin in this because I think I can see some pointed ears. I also love the development tanks in the background. It kind of makes you wonder if that's where all the people in the series come from. I do wish you would go into Flash creating and make something out of this. You are such a talented artist!

[Dr. Shroud]

Art block?

You will simply never stop creating great art submissions like this. The coolest thing is that this is a series I am actually familiar with. While I am obviously not as big a fan of Dr. Shroud as you, I can appreciate the artwork put in by a loyal fan. The creepiest things are easily the monsters in the bottom part. They have wonderfully detailed extra sharp teeth coated in blood. I even wish you would collaborate with the author on the next episode.

Dr. Shroud himself just looks so insane in this. I can't even really see anything besides his face as the rest of his body just seems to be warping around the picture. The blood streaks look like they could be blood or claws writhing everywhere. Even the monsters seem to be wounded from him in some way. Robfeldman should appreciate your work.

[Levels of Insanity]

You've captured insanity

I was thinking this was going to be less of an art piece and more of a chart. I guess I would have liked it more if it was, but it was still great! It's amazing how many different things you can think of just from a title. I also thought this would be a collage picture featuring the famous Rageguy characters. Instead, it was something that was entirely your own doing and I am glad it was. The face on the left side kind of looks like Freddy Krueger.

I like how they all seem to be mocking the audience. The best is by far the "Explosion Of Superfear". That really works because the designs of those layers of teeth on each other is so cool and actually reminds me of my own art style. I thought that might have been a mouth in the middle, but I'm sure it's an eye. Long live true insanity!

[Venom]

Great tribute

The picture is amazing, in fact the only flaw is that it doesn't look that much like Venom. I would prefer he has his usual purple color scheme, but it's still good. The most remarkable thing is how there is such an amazingly great amount of detail put into this. My favorite effect would probably be how some of the teeth are so crooked they cross over each other. Each his tongue seems to have bristles or spikes on it. The saliva has great detail too.

He doesn't even seem like Venom, but more of an original creation. It is always great when people can come up with fantastic original designs. I think I can make out a nose on his body. The holes or pores on his head kind of look like craters from the moon. You might even say he looks to be covered in fur, like Falcor in "The Neverending Story".

[ULTRA DEMON CANNIBAL FORCE]

A masterpiece

This is one of the finest pieces of art I have ever seen on the portal, plain and simple. It makes me sad that I never got the 2010 NG calendar. While I never gave a "10" to any flash you made, I am very glad to give it to your art piece. Every one of the characters is pumped up into an ultra demon form. There's so much detail, like how you can even see the Agnryface's little penis as he walks along. I would so see that movie with Denzel Washington and Val Kilmer in it.

Everything just comes alive so well in this picture. The chainsaw weapon literally comes out of Dad and demon Pico's gun even has a face to it. The most impressive part might be the eye beams coming out of P-Bot. There's so many things to look for, like the bats in the background. Even the Sun appears to be incinerating everything.
