Ericho's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Suffer No Guilt]

Wow, I can't believe how detailed this is! I'm really surprised you didn't win some award for this. Then again, I don't know how that process even works. You deserve the high score. The skull itself is great, but then there are all these other things around it. I now realize those are supposed to be waves.

I'm not even quite sure how this symbolism works. For all I know, you made everything up here. Even if you didn't, you deserve tons of credit for it. These monsters are so detailed they look like buildings. They just seem to be part of the background. It's great to have depictions that fit so well.

Jakubias responds:

Thanks dude, glad to see someone still sees my stuff. It did get frontpaged back then and I was pretty hyped for that. Thanks!

[plip plip]

This is a great picture, but it is very weird. I couldn't help but be reminded of ILoveEgg. I really do wish that series was back. This guy looks a lot more like a candle wick, now that I look at him. It's easy to think that because of the fire. He also looks like some guy made of gold.

It's amazing how many ideas this picture spawns. There are many different interpretations to it. This thing appears to be hopping. Maybe not, it's just that there are bits of fire behind him. The reflection's cool too.

[beam]

Dude, you are talented! This is one of the best beam pictures I've ever seen! There's another one I've favorited, so I have seen other great ones. The best part is probably the Earth itself. It just look so beautiful and majestic. I believe that's the Earth at least.

The positioning of the character is just perfect. The reflection of the beam is a wonderful touch too. This character's head vaguely reminds me of Unicron. I guess it's the whole way the horns are positioned. I don't know what part of the body it's coming out of. It's fantastic for whatever it is.

[Epic Zelda Fantasy]

I remember this appearing in one of your games. I believe it was the fourth one. Kind of makes sense, seeing as how this is your most recent drawing. I really love how adorable this is. I didn't know that Zelda game had cut out stuff like this. Natalie's probably the best drawn.

In fact, she seems to be the character you draw the best. I'm not just saying that because she's hot...although that helps. I just love seeing everyone so happy. I'm so glad you submitted at least one drawing for 2012. Please make more drawings and other things!

[Cassher zero sins]

I don't quite know what this character was from. I don't think this is one you made yourself. Whatever it is, this is absolutely gorgeous. The Japanese text is a great touch too. I think there's some more on this guy's helmet. I think it's a mostly clothed figure.

I think I can see this thing's skin under that cut. I don't know why I don't see more pictures that have won awards. I think this deserved something at least. I just now notice the weapon he has. Well, it looks more like a shield, but it can be used as one.

[Bullet Heaven]

Right upon seeing the thumbnail, I knew I would favorite it! I have been waiting so long to take a good luck at it. I can't believe it doesn't have a rating of over 4.5! I personally think this is the best artwork you ever submitted. It took an insane amount of detail to get everything right. I remember how hard this game was.

All of them have such unique patterns. I didn't even notice that it was the same guy on the lower half. It's hard to actually see the characters with through all those bullets. Well, I guess they're lasers, not bullets. I think my favorite would be the one on the far right. That was the hardest boss.

[Foes]

Dang it! This would have been absolutely perfect if not for one thing. Why oh why didn't you put this in color?! I think that's the only reason this has such a low rating. Well, at least in comparison to your other drawings. A lot of them do seem to have similar eyes.

These are probably the most adorable enemies I've ever seen. It's hard to really hate these guys! Even the bosses are great. I know you have drawn ugly guys before. There's always new things to explore here.

[Seafoam Sanctuary]

Now this is a wonderful picture! I really like how you seemed to omit the black lines. The colors just seemed so natural in this. I appreciated how slice of life it was. Well, I guess most people don't live in places like this. The waterfalls are a great touch.

I just love how this is so subtle. Everything isn't thrown right at you. You get a good way of absorbing everything. It seems to be quite realistic. I live in Florida, so I would know.

[Bows 4]

I was about to say that you were busy on November 30th. This was actually submitted a few days later. Either way, there was lots of work put into it. I think my favorite is the one with the knife. The bows seemed to be made of the same stuff as the arrows. This is particularly noticeable with the one made of bones.

Half of them had spikes. Well, I guess that's just how bones naturally look. The third one has a bow that looks like part of a gun. You did great guns too. I'm glad you submitted all this stuff.

[The Greatest Race Ever!]

Judging from the thumbnail, I thought that would be Pikachu. It was actually Speedy Gonzales' hat. Whatever, it's great to see these characters all together. I think the Flash would probably win. From what I heard, there was actually a comic where he challenged himself to a race and won. This means he's stronger than anyone else, even himself!

I didn't recognize your artwork at first. This seemed to be less cartoonish than your other stuff. I guess it's because the heads were made with more realistic proportions. It's nice that you tried something different. It worked out well.
