Ericho's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Noodle.]

Four hours?!

Well, I have no idea how this got its name but what I do know is that this art piece is absolutely fantastic! The most awesome thing was how there was just so much detail put into everything! It might have used some color, but that's pretty much it in terms of flaws. I just had so much fun trying to make out every single design that was in this! This is the kind of thing where you can look at it over and over and find new things. There is so much detail put into everything.

The main attraction seems to be a skull with something popping out of its brain. There are also these little happy faces that appear to be on the bottom of that. I think there's some dancing black woman thing on the skull's brain. There's also some weird laughing pig thing with a chef's hat on. Thank you so much for making this masterpiece!

[Morbius]

He twirls around

I didn't find this to be that great because the lower half of his body just looks too cartoonish. It just seems a contrast with how well the upper half of his body is drawn. This is still fine, because you keep all the effects and skills that make you good at drawing. I especially love the long claws in this. That has to be some of the longest pairs of claws you have ever drawn, my friend! It's only now that I realize Spiderman is on the lower half of his body.

It's fairly surreal with how everything just wraps around itself here. He is a good villian as I have been chronicling his adventures in the "Marvel Zombies" series. Spider-Man seems to just incorporate himself out of Morbius' clothing. It gets better the more you look at it but you do need some help with shading. The scratch paper does make it authentic, though.

[Life after death]

You're welcome!

Woah, this is one of the most awesome pictures I have ever seen here. This is just so sweet how good the colors are in everything! I was hoping that an art piece with this name would be great and boy was I right! It's a very original idea to envision death as having a child. It kind of makes you wonder how that could even be physically possible. I guess anything goes with the supernatural folk and I especially like how flawless the coloring is.

You manage to put so much emotion into a still image. There's just an excellent arrangement of colors and shading to this. You seem to have completely omitted the black outlines and made everything from pure stratch. It's cute how Grim Reaper Jr. has a little scythe. It is also fantastic how this was made with pencil and no digital effects.

[what is it.]

Goon?

I guess it doesn't really help that I know nothing about what you are trying to draw. I guess it's not an original character but if it is, it isn't that terrible. The main fault of this is that you did not put in a background. Granted, other people have done that but the design just didn't seem that great. I guess it just seems as though the character is kind of surrounding the picture too much. It's like he's small in size but looks weird in this proportion.

Still, I have to give you credit for some good shading effects. I can see many styles of blue out there. He kind of looks like an egg and it appears as though he has a yellow eye on his forehead or whatever part of his head that is. It's not terribly done, it just needs to be brushed up on. I can't tell if he's/it's sweating or bleeding.

[Mental Warp]

Quite deranged

This reminds me of that old story from Greek mythology about the wax wings flyer. Dang, do I wish I could remember what those names were. Anyway, this was a great art piece because it showed that you have a truly deranged mind. There is so much detail put into every single thing. It's also extremely disturbing because it looks like the pigeons plucked out his eyes. Seeing as how everything is in black and white, I think they might have pooped on him a lot too.

One side of his brain just seems to be smashed in or leaking out. I can judge from the title that this was really meant to portray madness. Granted, I have never heard of the song "Mental Warp" before. Don't trust something that is known for pooping on everything. The beauty and grace of the pigeons contrasts well with their true actions and intentions.

[Thatch Preliminary Drawing]

More experiments!

It's amazing just how many different kinds of art you can make. This still managed to fit into the dark genre that you're more known for. What's cool is that it also seems like a different style with a lot of different shadings and everything. The hunter seems to be missing one of his arms but I can make out a hook hand or something on the side. What I do not like are the fingers. I can recognize your style, but this seemed to not be shaded in all that well.

I'm not sure what the 60: mark on his chest means. Maybe it means he only has sixty minutes to live or something? It's good as always you put in a description because artwork like this is hard to recognize. I like the little sketches and color dots that are in the background. It was probably not intentional, but it makes it look authentic.

This is a purely experimental piece with this guy. I'm working with a different medium to color. I should've been more specific to the guy's condition and the number on his chest. Thanks for pointing that out.

[Apocolopolis]

Woah...

This is one of the best art pieces I have ever seen! There is just an amazingly fantastic amount of detail put into each and everything! I have no idea what is going on or why anything is happening but I do know that this art is fantastic! It looks like there are various villians who represent the elements, perhaps. I see fire, ice, electricity, and water. The only one I really don't get is that weird alien spaceship that seems to be firing a green laser at something.

Oh, and there's also a green dinosaur with a blue tongue. There's also this weird part where it looks like it doesn't even fit in the drawing. It's more of a rough sketch of some machine monster sucking the life out of a building. This is one of the biggest art pieces I've ever seen and also one of the coolest! You sir, have true talent.

[Not a Bishie Vampire]

Try harder, almost there!

I don't see why this has such a low rating. Granted, it's probably one of your lesser works but it's certainly not terrible. I think what turned a lot of people off was how butt ugly that vampire is. Of course, people didn't seem to mind the graphic stuff you did. The creepiest thing is probably how it looks so much like this vampire has man boobs that look so much like female boobs. It almost looks like the creature is surrounded by lens of some sort.

I think there's an error in your author comments. There's a part where it say, "Oe figure" but I think you're trying to say "One figure". I would hate to see what the rest of this hospital has in store. The best quality part is how the teeth are exposed. I suggest you maybe putting in more of a background and some slicker detail.

linda-mota responds:

It's not my best, at the time I wasn't very good with the anatomy of an obese male. I plan to do a redux of this. the man tits are very awkward too. The next redix will have a background, promise! -_^

[pain]

Pain?

I guess I've been watching anime too much because I thought this was going to be the picture of a certain Naruto character. It does seem a little cluttered, but overall it's good. This manages to put a really realistic tone to the piece. It seems like it was really made by someone who was working on a canvas. That might even work a little too well because I think I can see the second sheet of paper. It reminds me more of the stuff my mom makes.

In fact, my mom was the person who inspired me to review art in the first place. Well, okay, I also wanted to be recognized, but still. The person here seems to have yellow skin and is screaming out in, well, the title. There were a lot of dots and stuff tapered across this piece. It was a little sloppy looking but overall adds to the authenticity.

[zelda redesigns]

Wow!

You really have to get the big picture if you want to appreciate how good this drawing is. Of course, it's improper to probably even call it a single drawing as it's just so many. I have been a Legend Of Zelda fan (you could probably tell by my icon). While I am not familiar with the newest characters that much, you don't have to to appreciate how good this is. I think there are some characters who are shown twice but never the same version. The detail is fantastic.

It just seem to be as good as any professionally made works for the series. Everything is just so smoothly done I simply can not say anything to recommend that it be improved in any way! You are a credit to all true TLOZ fans. It's just fantastic to see so many good colors being put together. I understand the high rating.

thanks sir
