Ericho's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Larry - Night City]

Yes, another fantastic piece. I do think it's a little weird to see Larry in this. His cartoonishness seems to really stand out. It's still a fantastic art piece, just not one of your piece. I can see why Jazza favorited this! I really love the contrast.

I think the left is supposed to be a Hell-like place. The right is better, but it still doesn't seem quite like Heaven. I wish Larry would return. The clouds are great in this. They even seem like a monster's limbs.

[Ninja Air-Fortress]

I should just go right now and say you're my favorite artist on this entire website. I just loved this as most of your other drawings! The weird thing is that at first, it looks really realistic. It's a bit cartoonish when you take a close look at it. That's not a criticism, it works perfectly. I at first thought this was a city floating in the air.

It looks more like a giant floating ship. I love how the main character is there looking at everywhere. Can a picture have a main character? Something as epic as this certainly! The details of the bird and the Moon are fantastic. I'm glad to be part of a community that brings great pieces like this out!

[Autumn Guard]

I thought this was good, but not as much as most people. I think the head is a bit too small. Of course, it was probably supposed to look like a hunchback. Part of his arm seems to be missing. I'm not quite sure if that means that part's floating. I really like the joke about not having the background. Hey, that is something I noticed!

I knew those were leaves. It's funny how almost all your other art has people in it, at least judging by your thumbnails. It is a pretty unique design. I think the colors could be better. I like how you described it.

kmau responds:

I agree with pretty much everything you wrote, this thing really didn't age very well. There are only a few other machines in my gallery and the most recent one actually has arms that connect to the body so I guess that's a step up!

[bros before ho's]

Aw, it's been too long since a Leo And Satan cartoon was made. I am quite impressed by this. I don't really understand what the title means. I don't recall either of these characters having a love interest. Oh well, it's still a great picture. Leo looks more realistic in this.

Satan, however, appears to be just as cartoony as usual. His head looks like a chair or something. I noticed his horn hair looks like pubic hair. Maybe that's where he got it from? This is a very well done picture.

[WOLVERINE!]

Wow, this is a great picture! It really does work hard to capture Wolverine's essence. I love all the little details, like the blood on his claws. You've created a wonderful atmosphere too. The ripped shirt makes him look, well, ripped. It has a nice ambiguous nature.

While his eyes aren't seen, you can still understand his facial expression. The all capitals emphasize it well. The shadows and darkness are used wonderfully too. I can even see some stuff in the background, like he's on a wall. A very deep picture.

dommi-fresh responds:

thanks i have been a big fan of wolverine since i was a nipper. glad you like it

[goofer the gravemonster!]

While a very strange picture, it's still very nice to look at. My favorite part is how there are so many of the little things in this that you can see. This guy has four spike bones as weapons on his arm. There even seem to be bones rising out of the ground. The two shovels are a nice touch, or are they weapons? Either way, they look cool.

I'm glad this appeared on the front page. He looks like he has a hole on his back somewhere. With all the spikes coming out, that would make sense. A little too much negative space, but still great. Even his toenails are nice and sharp!

jouste responds:

hey thanks!

goofer was done quite a while ago when i was still figuring out what kind of style I wanted to make my own. He is definitely in the direction that I ended up in. Thanks again for another thoughtful review!

[Smoke]

JAZZA just does not favorite bad art pieces. I really liked this, because this guy is portrayed in a realistic manner. I think his head might be a little too small. Then again, heads are just usually portrayed as big in a lot of pictures. I can't tell what he's carrying. It appears to be something for holding a gun, I think.

I couldn't help but be reminded of Wolverine. I think it's the haircut. Of course, the eyepatch reminds me of Snake. Yeah, I'm just reminded of a lot of things here. He looks like he's bored or tired.

[battle block theater fan-age!]

I didn't find this as good as the second part. I guess it's because the monster on the second one was a lot more cool. I still think it's good and of course I knew there was a first one. I guess this white guy really doesn't have good luck. The other guy looks like some orange cat thing. Well, I love cats and the color orange.

It almost looks like he has a shock collar on him or something. He certainly looks unhappy. It looks like he has a suit under his police outfit. The expression on their faces are pretty good too. It's nice to know your second bit was better.

jouste responds:

hey thanks! I really like the cat-cops in BBT so wanted to make a more specific drawing. thanks for the great review and I'm glad you liked the piece!

*highfives*

[battleblock theater fan-age 2!]

This is quite a nice picture. It reminds me of how I have at least seen previews of this game before. I recognize the white head guy. I don't recognize whatever this thing is. I mean, I still think this monster is pretty freaking cool! He has a lot of spit coming out of him.

It's nice to see something like this get popular. I remember when it was new, but not so much anymore. There are really good details on the teeth. He looks like he's going to eat the guy. He's part raccoon, part deer, and I don't know the other part.

jouste responds:

yeah the monster is a really neat combination of a bunch of stuff. He's a pretty scary part of BBT and can lick you apart in no time! thanks again for the well thought out review!

[RAGE]

I found this to be good, but not THAT good. From the title, I thought it was going to show a Ragecomic. I would have preferred if it did. It is nice to see all the detail you put into the mouth. I know enough about anatomy to understand this. The mouth really looks like a spine when you think about it.

Is that supposed to be Tom? I guess I just assume all realistic people drawn here are supposed to be him. I like the little vein in his neck. The background isn't bad. While not great, decent.
