Ericho's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Ratchet and Clank]

Artwork this good makes me sad that I am not a fan of the Ratchet and Clank games. I mean, this is freaking amazing! I love all the little details put into this. I love how everything is so wonderfully colorful. I love how these guys are just moving their bodies so well. The villain has a really awesome sword.

It's great to see how everything centers on them. It's like they're in this giant warp. The lightning is probably the best part. I think I've played a little of their games a few times. I never got to this boss, though. It's great for video game stuff in general.

[Batman Sins]

I kind of disagree with what you're saying. I'm fairly certain they weren't supposed to represent the seven deadly sins. Then again, those have really been applied to everyone. They were intentional with "Gilligan's Island" and "SpongeBob Squarepants". I think Two-Face probably has the best drawing. I know these characters fairly well.

I've never thought of Mr. Freeze as being destructive. I guess Lust would be perfect for Poison Ivy. She is probably the most well known femme fatale out there. I think Envy would be someone who became evil because of it. I don't think that's the Riddler's backstory.

[Team Fortress 2 Red Pixel]

This seems like a really obvious thing. I'm fairly certain that it hasn't been done before. I mean, MOST popular characters have had sprites of them. Well, I guess pixels are used here. I don't see the difference. We're just getting out of sprites of course.

This does seem old by today's standards. It's just great to see video game characters rendered in a classic way like this. I've seen them in their regular forms so many times. I'd love to see a flash cartoon out of this. Better yet, a game.

[Joy 20]

What do you mean by "miserable"? Do you mean the characters themselves were like that? Or do you mean the comic was done really poorly? I'm pretty sure you mean the former. It's always great to see this artwork. I know you haven't posted all the strips here.

Okay, it would take up too much space if you did. You show the expressions really well. I was really not expecting that. It seemed like a pretty obvious punchline. Of course, I wouldn't expect anyone as funny as you to do something obvious.

[Plague Doctors]

I didn't really understand these masks. I did some research and found out that these were actual clothes worn by doctors during the Black Plague. It's great to be historically accurate. They do appear to be more monstrous in this. It's probably because they seem to have ghostly arms. It's quite effective in its creepiness.

It looks like these guys are already in Hell. I just assumed they were monsters and looked like that. Maybe in this drawing they ARE. I'm certainly glad I don't live in those times. This is why no one complains about surgical masks.

[The Downsons]

Was the name meant to be about Down Syndrome? I guess it wasn't meant to be offensive. It's neat to see your take on some really popular characters. You've done so much work already! I think Marge is probably the most impressive. It's something with the hair.

I like the giant chins. Well, Bart doesn't seem to be huge in that facial area. Maybe you could have put in a background. This was a decent effort of yours. Dang, they look sad.

[Archie]

I thought that this would in some way be connected to Archie comics. It was not. I do like their Sonic ones. Anyway, this seemed a bit too childish. It looks like it was made from markers. In fat, it probably was. I guess the colors are good.

I guess I'm the last person to be complaining. I never drew anything on a computer either. There's just nothing unique about it. I guess the mechanical clouds are kind of cool. I guess this picture is harmless, then again, how could it ever be harmful?

[ROBOTRON SPRITES]

So these weren't your own creations? Whatever the intention was, it came out as something cool. The guy with the bulging brain looks kind of familiar. Maybe it's just a standard sort of design. I think my favorite would probably be the big green robot. It seemed to be the most creative.

Yes, I remember the days when people used sprites with their submissions. It's nice to at least see a tribute to it. A pity this wasn't submitted for Robot Day. Of course, robots are things that people can look at any time they want. The all caps showed nice emphasis.

[hipscotch]

Why is the score so low?! I swear this is one of the lowest I've ever seen! This is a nice picture! It mostly works because you seem to harken black to classic art days. Maybe it was romanticism? I'm not that familiar with these art movements.

I like the square glasses. This really takes place in a world of its own. At least Almightyhans likes this a lot. It deserves far more praise. I guess it's cliché to say hipster.

[Breaking Bad Poster]

This is a great picture from such a great series. I have seen several episodes and know it's one of the best ever made. I really find that you did something unique with this design. Well, I guess it's not really a design. It's how the show made it out to be. The colors are simply wonderful.

You captured the likenesses of the characters so well. That's hard to do with a live-action show. You really made it work well. I managed to see the finale when it premiered and I hope you did too! The background looks fairly realistic too.
