Ericho's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Purge the Shadows]

No author's comments? I thought those things were mandatory. Whatever, this is a fantastic art piece. I was afraid I wouldn't know what it was fan art of. I don't care, it's just that awesome! If I could take a guess, I'd say Warhammer 40K. Then again, it could be an original creation.

I'm so surprised this didn't win any kind of award! You'd think I'd see more of those things around. The colors, shading, and everything else is simply flawless. It looks like he's using that glowing thing as a weapon. The glowing blue eyes are great too. Skeletons are just something I like to see.

[Breaking Bad Tribute]

A 4.85 is one of the highest scores I've seen here and it certainly shows! It really does make me realize about what it takes to draw live-action figures. I am just so used to cartoons. You managed to be so wonderfully realistic with this. I wish I watched the show enough to know all the characters here. It's impossible for someone like me to not know ANYTHING about it.

That reminds me, I just missing watching the show tonight... Oh well, this is just wonderful to look at. Your other art pieces look fantastic as well. It reminds me of classic movie posters. The blue aura is just flawless. They seem to look vaguely yellow too.

[Nice to meet you!]

Yet another great art piece! It reminds me of "The Iron Giant". Granted, I've never seen that movie, but I've heard a lot about it. Titan concepts are pretty cool. Maybe that was the inspiration for the iron giant? I just loved all the little things going on in this picture.

The hot air balloon is probably the best part. Everything just seems so evenly spread out. I think there are starships in the sky. A little low flying, I guess. The rock on the left looks like it has a maze on it.

[Searching for Love]

Um...happy Fourth of July? It's hard to even know what to say. This is fricking awesome, man! I am so glad to be introduced to your unique style. You really did know exactly what a real life heart looks like. I really think you have scientifically represented the chambers. It's the perfect metaphor for what's going on.

At first, I thought it was someone holding the heart. I know it is just suspended in midair or space or something. The fire at the top and ice on the bottom creates perfect contrast. This guy really is searching for love! I now notice the beautiful birds. This is wonderful, man!

YakovlevArt responds:

Hey thanks a lot for the kind words!
I really enjoyed making this piece, many sleepless nights and revisions lead to this. It's comments like this that keep me going and creating new pieces.

Cheers!

[The DiMorteli Brothers]

Here's another simply great picture. I am amazed that you managed to have such a lengthy description of it. Honestly, we do not need a literature portal. I just love this two headed design. It's not two heads in the traditional sense, it's more like Professor Quirrel and Voldemort. The claws are just done wonderfully. I've always been a fan of those.

You really get the idea of the monstrous vampire down. You rarely see those anymore. I love how you made devils the vampire's greatest enemy. I could spend a lot more time just talking about the description. It's all so wonderfully organized.

Kkylimos responds:

Thank you very much! Im glad you enjoyed their story too! And as far as vampire design goes , i always liked to imagine them as the incarnation of gothic horror and nocturnal evil. Im not a big fan of vampiric pretty boys :P

[Zombie Brand]

This was a good picture, but I didn't think it was great. I thought it would be a parody picture, like it would show a zombie with a brand of drink or something. It does seem to be inspired by Jazza. Oh, I didn't know this was another character as a zombie. I guess I can see why people like it more now.

I think I can make out a nipple on him. Never heard of zombies with nipples. He kind of looks like the Hulk. I guess I never realized how much he was like a zombie. Don't worry, I've read "Marvel Zombies".

[We found peace]

Yes, perfect! I just saw the video that promotes this! It's easy to see why this was Jazza's favorite. I'm surpassed you didn't mention the specific recognition for this. It's a great picture because of how beautiful it is. You know how to create such a sense of harmony.

Everything just seems so happy and joyous in this. I love how you've made everything so colorful. I doubt there even are birds that look that great. The woman seems to be lacking shorts or something. The trees themselves look like animals and/or birds! You are a true artist!

clayscence responds:

thank you so much :D I really appreciate your kind words, I am happy you like it!

[Windrunner]

Dude, this has a rating of freaking 4.96! I think that may be the highest I have ever seen anything being rated on this website, if not the entire Internet! Was this meant to be the princess from "Brave"? Or maybe someone from a Zelda game? Whatever it was, it was done perfectly. I simply can't not like something so high rated!

It could always change, but it's flawless. Oh, it's from DOTA 2. Jazza sure has taught me a lot about that. I just submitted my first art piece today. I hope ANYONE can become even close to this good as you are. The background is fantastic. Did you scan an actual canvas?

KattyC responds:

Thank you so much :) It is scanned from watercolor paper

[The Zabrak Droid]

Dude, that's awesome! I was thinking that maybe it was supposed to be like Doctor Doom. I know realize it is a lot more like General Grievous. This is an awesome name. I haven't read that much Expanded Universe material, so I imagine it's from that. It's wonderful to see all the little details put into the little gears and stuff.

I also love the axe he's holding and one arm appears to be a gun. Even the background is done wonderfully. My only complaint is that I think the picture is a little long. It's still wonderful, because you can always find new stuff in it. I just now noticed the blades on his front arms.

Nempatriarch responds:

Thank you for your kind words! This is just a comission, so its not canon in any way. The guy wanted a zabrak stormtrooper gone the same path as grievous, so i guess i achieved my goal.

[Creature Concept | Roar]

I love this probably because you made it with an actual blue pall point pen. In fact, you seem to like things that are blue, judging by your other art. I think those might be arms on the bottom of the dragon's neck. It's a dragon, right? It seems to be something covered in feathers. Even with that, it looks really powerful.

You even see some shading in the background. I just now noticed it was blue. There are so many good details put into every single part. I like the two really long feathers. Well, that is how they say dinosaurs looked.
