Ericho's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Symbiote Ex: KING]

Just never had a bad submission

I have never heard of Quel2many before, but this is a great drawing. What's really great is that he has such a perfect appearance of sadism. He has this great evil joy his face shows by looking at the viewer. There is a lot of detail put into all of the little strands of blackness that go out. Even the rock he's sitting on seems to be so crooked. It just goes to show how much you can do if you do not use digital effects whatsoever.

Its styles like this that make earlier work still impressive by today's standards. Not that I have a problem with digital paint, it's just nice to see this every once in a while. These are some of the most grotesque looking fingers I have ever seen in your work. It's cool how his eyes has different appearances and are both threatening. I hope you had a happy Halloween last year!

[Boogle, the evil mobster.]

Nice detail

What I liked about this was that everything seemed to be presented in a fairly cut manner. I will, however, say that I would like it if there were some flashier effects. It just seems a little dull entirely in black and white. This character looks a lot like Jason Voorhees and I bet that was the intention. You could also use a background of any kind. It might not be an art piece I would recommend, but it is far from terrible.

I suggest you maybe put in more details onto his lines and not just a lot of negative space. You have potential as the designs aren't bad, especially around the hair. I would imagine a mobster as being a character who would instead use a gun, but I guess not here. The best thing is probably the use of dark colors presented on his coat. I also like the finer details like the holes on his toolbox or whatever it is.

[Fist Bump]

Hey this is alright!

It took me awhile to even recognize the characters who were in this drawing! I am glad I can now easily understand it to be Goku and Vegeta from "Dragonball Z". I have no idea who the little guy in the middle coming out of their fists is. He's still pretty cool to have around. While the drawing is good, it does kind of turn me off a bit. It just seems to be a style so different for the DBZ characters. Also, their necks (especially Goku's) seem too long.

The little arrow pointing out to where their fists are bumping is pretty cool as well. The characters are actually drawn in a fairly realistic manner. I guess I have to give you points for accuracy even if it did not suit my tastes that well. It's cool how you can see how this was done entirely on pencil with the lines. It was, wasn't it?

["They"]

Lots of great detail

It would have helped if there was some color in this, but apart from that, it's pretty much flawless. What's amazing is that each monster has a very unique design to it. The coolest part is how none of them are designed the same. These don't even seem to be creatures that come from ordinary mythology but your own creations! The main thing playing the organ seems to be similar to Edward Scissorhands. Even then, it has an original design, especially with how it seems to be missing one arm.

The scariest is probably the one with all the mouths on its body. It's completely expressionless except for the unnatural cavities. Another great one is the skeleton wearing the uniform. It reminds me of the Red Skull from Marvel Comics. There are just so many messed up faces that are staring into the watcher's eyes.

[Madness Is Eternal]

Not quite as good as the first

This probably gets a 9/10 from me only because the first one is slightly better. What's interesting about this art piece is that you go a lot for the mythology of MC. That is, all of the victims here are represented in the style of the character's designs. You can kind of make out these are a little more skull shaped than regular versions. I love how there's that giant sharp-toothed smile to accompany the image. Hank himself just really turns into a monster in this image.

He has this super long tongue that reminds me of the bubble gum I got for Easter. The clawed fingers are back and work really well on everybody. It seems to have spikes on his back or maybe that's just his spine popping out. I just love how there's so much detail in every aspect. You are getting better with your artwork all the time.

[WEM GMB]

Really cool

I really like this image because of how silly it is. It's funny because Well Educated Man looks a lot like PickleMan, a character created by Mockery. He also resembles the art style of Gary Larson, the creator of "The Far Side". It's been such a long time since I have seen that guy's artwork, it's great to see something similar to it. I love how WEM looks so dumb with that funny little graduation cap on his head. What's really cool is how well pronunced the characters are.

It's really cool how you got the lines and shading so right. It was interesting to look at your really cool name in both your nickname and your actual name. These two characters just have such a luck of joy in their eyes and faces. It could have used a background as it did not have one. There's still a good amount of dimension in their appearances.

[Invader Zim Halloween]

Awesome!

Invader Zim is one of those franchises where you can simply do no wrong but doing a faithful tribute! Some of the colors seem a little too dark but is still fun to look at. The funniest thing is of course Gir who has always been the funniest thing. It makes you realize how popular this show was able to become in its short run. It's kind of creepy with how graphic Zim's costume is with the blood and all. Well, maybe it's just tomato sauce Gir is after.

It's funny because Gir is actually already in a costume. It makes you realize how dumb everyone is when you realize the zipper is so big on his costume! The background could have been a bit more detailed. It does still seem like something that would be straight out of the cartoon. May this live on forever, friend!
