Ericho's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Notes 15]

I'm getting used to looking at these doodles in class. I really like the blue taint everywhere. It was great how you cut this out of the sketchbook. It's certainly a well done cut. Well, I'm not quite sure how this process even works. It still doesn't even seem to be colored blue. Even the pure blue parts are just darkness.

I don't know what the "4" is for. Hey, I didn't even try to make that joke. I really love the "1337" thing. I guess that's been around a long time. I think there might be missiles in the back. Okay, you were in art class.

[Deathwing]

I recognized that this was made by the same painter of one of my favorite paintings! Well, I guess they're not really paintings, but you get the idea. This guy looks like he's supposed to be a dragon too. I can see the detail in his nostrils. He doesn't have much of a snout when compared to other dragon pictures. I just love all the little details.

This guy looks like he's part of a wall or floor. His scales look like bricks in some building. The idea of a building coming to life is cool too. I can see hints of blue on his head as well. You even have an awesome signature. I'm certainly glad this is popular and reviewed.

[Caves]

I really do feel shame when looking at this! I had no idea this is what was in the game. It looks more like a mashup of numerous games. The main character kind of looks like Red. I can still see some of your own design in this. Orange is my favorite color.

It was simply great to see all these colors put together. This is one of the best uses of them you've ever done. The fact that it was a different style makes it all the better. This guy seems to be part of a cave coming alive. I got that from the title. This is absolutely flawless.

[Pattern]

I actually had a hard time telling exactly what this thing was. I now realize it's a guitar. What else can I say? This is one of the most beautiful looking pictures I've seen here. It's so great because it shows so little of the actual object. It's left up to your own imagination to fill in the gaps.

I don't know if that was the intention. That's just what I got from it. This looks like it could be the design for a doorknob or something. It's like the extension cord for a hair dryer. There are just so many ideas that come to mind when looking at this. Thanks for the creativity!

[ghosts]

I wasn't that impressed by this picture at first. When I looked down at the bottom, it all became better. This is wonderful artwork. It seems like most of the tree faces have different structure. There are some that are really solid and others that just appear to be melting. I guess harsh trees do look like this.

I am now starting to see it as all part of the same tree. The simple title works great. Yep, I recognize these guys from the games. Even if I don't, it's still obviously the same style. You could just count the number of faces seen here.

[Totoro]

Great picture! My only complaint is that Totoro looks a bit more cartoonish than normal. Then again, I guess Miyazaki's films are more cartoonish than most anime. I do like how adorable he looks! He actually seems to be less happy than normal. It's still a great environment.

The leaves are a wonderful touch. They just seem to be like they're part of some single entity in this. In fact, most of the background is really fluid. The mushrooms grow up so perfectly. The berries are great too.

[mutant thing]

This is absolutely amazing! This BETTER be the final boss for one of your games. At first, I thought it was just going to be some rock monster. I guess it technically is, but it's so much more than that! I just love looking at all the fine little details of this giant guy. I recognize these parts from other stuff you've submitted.

I don't know if that's actual foreign text in this. If nothing else, you put a lot of work even into that. The figure coming out reminds me of Anubis. The claws are a fantastic part as well. Even as machinery, they fit in well with the rest of the picture. I think those are jack-o-lantern faces in there.

[A Girl and Her Pet]

This is such a beautiful picture! It helps that I really like artwork of dinosaurs. They were something that I was really into as a kid. I guess you can never really tell what they looked like in the flesh. This is as accurate as any other drawing. The girl's nicely drawn too.

The whole thing looks like it was done on watercolor. Then again, a lot of submissions are. I think that's a pretty accurately sized T-rex. The vines in the background are a nice touch too. I couldn't help but think they spell something out.

[shuttle]

Yet another class drawing! Dude, you might as well as taken an art class. Granted, I'm sure most of us have at one point. I now realize the only difference is the lack of lines on the second one. It really looks just the same in Photoshop. I'm glad you were faithful to what you originally wanted.

It looks like a giant rocket made of many smaller rockets. There seems to be only one exhaust pipe or whatever you call it. It would have been nice if you added color. It's still great the way it is. Okay, that's not a swatisaka.

[Abominable]

Dude, this is one of the most three dimensional looking characters I have ever seen! I simply have no idea how to compliment you on this. The eight hours were completely worth it! Well, you got frontpaged I guess. This reminds me of "Indiana Jones And The Temple Of Doom" one of my favorite films. Was this really not done with CGI?

I'm just impressed at how animalistic this guy looks. Even his hand looks like it's part of a spider. The background is fantastic too. It gives a wonderful realistic tone to it. I like to see the details of all his veins. I can see why this took so long. It's freaking awesome!
