Ericho's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Joyous Birth]

Now that is dark

You have done this some dark stuff, but this definitley takes the cake. I was thinking it might be about abortion but it looks more like the woman gave birth to an alien. Better to come out of her vagina then her chest, I suppose. This is just messed up, particularly with how the woman's eyes just seem fixed all over the place. I would hate to know the fate of the people who delivered that monster. It may be most effective because of its title.

I can more detail in the hands and the woman's body. Look fast for another human hand in the upper right hand corner. You could still use some work with the shading for the tiles as I can see the marker streaks. I believe everything here is intentionally made to be out of whack to show off its madness. I don't find it beautiful either.

[Flame]

Dang good

When I first saw an art piece called "Flame" it didn't look like it would be anything good. I was pleasently surprised as this turned out to be a really well done art piece! It's a beautiful way to portray a naked woman. Well, I guess it's not really a woman per se, but it sure looks like one. Despite only using black and white, you still make good use of the color you have. Except for the head, the figure actually has a fairly realistic human appearance to it.

Yeah, I could tell from this that you like drawing curves, hee hee. This of course was not meant to be sexual but more as a work of art. It really creates a mood when you just see her floating around nothingness. She give off any illumination except for showing herself. The nipples are also done really well with the shading.

[The Scarecrow]

Ooh, maybe your best yet!

This is a great artpiece because it's simply so psychotic! It perfectly fits what would go through the mind of a Batman villian. Too bad I only saw "The Dark Knight" where he got defeated rather easily there. I still like the fingers that just really strut out and look like weapons in themselves. This seems to be the most colorful of all the drawings you have made. There's a much better emphasis on shading with the dark lines on his clothing.

I only now notice the bat signal near the moon (which actually seems a bit unnecessary now that I think about it). The scariest part is how distorted his face is. It looks like the thing's freaking melting! It's a good represenation of the madness that lurks in his mind. I rarely saw Scarecrow art before, so it's great to be introduced to it.

[I'm Butt King of ButtMountain]

Shin Chan?

I know little about that series, so I naturally had trouble understanding this. The best thing was how the two butts looked just like each other! The drawings were really lush in this, as nice as anything you have worked on. I notice how the sponge seems to just make a puddle around itself. I am glad that this was not as disgusting as I thought it would be, judging from the title. You have at the description first to try to understand this.

I guess the classic idea of buttcheeks being funny will never die out. There was lush detail put into every aspect of this extremely goofy picture. The butt almost looks like a head with the paper crown on top. I wouldn't want to be up a butt mountain anyway. You might have more going on in your next picture but this delivers its message well.

[Female Green Lantern]

Heh

You may have not known it, but you are actually obeying something called Rule 63. It states that for every male character, there is a female version of it. At least this one managed to not be pornographic in nature. I take this as one of your lesser entries because it does not have a distinctive style to it. It just seems like some of the effects like the yellow light weren't much. It is still drawn quite authentic to the style of the Green Lantern.

This one appears to be modeled after the GL, Kyle Rainier. Next time, you should try putting some more action in it or try to make something to appeal to this character. The extended leg just looks too skinny as well. This did seem to be a new thing for you and I am glad you went out and experimented. The best feature is probably the red hair.

[Hash.]

Nice and dark

I have no clue what the title means, but this is amazingly well done with how trippy it is! Speaking of the eyes, I don't think they were originally meant to look like swastikas. I think the swastika is actually derived from a religious symbol that meant both Eastern and Western religions. The coolest thing was seeing how many tiny designs were in this dude's body. He looked perfect propped up against a marker stained background. This is one where you let the streaks become like clouds.

I love how his arms are extra skinny and really protrude out from his body. The stuff in the background looks like black smoke now that I look at it. It probably could have been in color like some of your other stuff, but is so great to look at you really don't care. I suppose "Hash" is supposed to be the name of the character? I love how his skin makes it look like he has scales jutting out.

[Real Vampire Wins]

Possibly your best

The real cool thing about this was how wonderfully it just looks overall. It appears as though the vampire getting killed is supposed to represent Edward from "Twilight" or something like that. While I love "Mortal Kombat", I don't recognize any of the characters from that series. What matters is that you keep your style up. The best thing is how you draw fingers that are just so crooked. It adds a great degree of madness to the picture and reminds me of my own childhood drawings. It could use a background, but still great.

The use of markers seems a lot better in this one. The streaks do a good job of defining the elements, especially the clothing. While we didn't get to see the whole battle, I have little doubt that it was a flawless victory. The lack of pencil lines around the splattered blood is another plus. The spines on the character's back are cool too.

[marioooo]

Should have a higher rating

This is a really cool drawing because you really let the characters have such ridiculous movements. Mario looks like his face and arm are melting. The goomba looks like some weird alternate universe version drawn by Salvador Dali! While not as surreal as him, this was great because it makes you realize how ridiculous the Mario world is. You can see the blocks in the background and now realize how they would make no sense in a world with depth. The picture just has a really dark feel to it.

I say this because it looks like everyone is just looking negatively at Mario. Their tiny little eyes have a real sort of malice to them. It seems like he took a bite out of the mushroom and is now experiencing its tricky effects. I imagine a mushroom that came from a floating block would do that. You did a good job with the shadows too.

[Thousands of Years Ago...]

Never heard of him!

Dude, I had absolutely no idea who this character was and thought he was an original one made for "Yu-Gi-Oh: The Abridged Series"! I had no idea at all that this was a character from "Aqua Teen Hunger Force". Now, onto the review of the drawing itself. This drawing is simply fantastic, because it is of such high quality. I have never seen this character in ATHF but he certainly has the best animation of anyone in that show. It's amazing how lush he appears.

It almost looks like he's CGI! It also looks like he has a beak or something so he appears to be some sort of robot chicken (whoops, wrong show). You do all fans of the series a favor by making something as good as this! The shading is done perfectly as he shows off a good purple tint. I hope you continue to make great art pieces like this!

[Demongo]

Dang it!

Looking at this art piece makes me realize that I did not see the entirety of the episode where that happened! "Samurai Jack" sure inspired a lot of great artwork and this is no exception. What's truly awesome is that you get the colors and shading just right. There's no areas that are too dim, everything is just the right shading! It is great to be introduced to your art style as it is a truly good one. While not much seems to be happening in this picture, still a great one.

I now am glad to review the first ever art piece that won an award! I had no idea art pieces even won awards but I am glad they do because you deserve it. This works because it does not try to go to anything really fancy. It's just a nitty gritty authentic representation of this one shot character. Aku looks great as well.
