Ericho's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Dota 2 - Axe]

Yes, I do remember this from the cartoon you made! It's sad for me to say that I don't remember it now. It's still a wonderful picture. I counted twelve arrows in his body. I now realize why Dota 2 is so familiar to me. It was used in a cartoon you made.

I assumed it was something you made up at first. It's great to know I'm finally catching up to the pictures that appear on "More art from this artist". That can't be a coincidence. The background's pretty cool too. Of course this was frontpaged.

[The Flash]

I think this is probably better than your Wolverine picture. I think it's because it's done more realistically. Of course, that's rarely something to care about in comic books. I just think you're a little more faithful to the character. I like how his foot is stretching out like that. You can even see some interesting things behind his back.

It looks like clouds are forming or something. The way he's literally setting fire to the ground is cool. It even looks like he could be on the Sun! That's what the yellow and red color looks to me. His face is quite stern too.

[Steve, Explorer of Mines]

Hey, this was submitted on the fourth of July! Too bad there's nothing patriotic about it. I don't care, this is a wonderful picture. I'm surprised I don't see more Minecraft fanart here. It's so freaking popular! I just love how realistic this is done.

You still manage to get down the style of the game quite well. I especially love how you see the blocks from these angles. While not a player of it, I certainly know a ton about it. It's just great how you don't even try to make it that fancy. You just show the nitty gritty coolness of it. I can see a monster in the cave.

[Wolvie]

This really is quite a unique picture of Wolverine. I can't help but think it is a bit cluttered. His body just seem way out of proportion in this. Yeah, I know I'm sounding like Linkara. Hey, where do you think I get inspiration for my reviews? I still like this because it is an original design.

In a way, it fits his muscular structure. Maybe it's going away from the audience to emphasize it. I think it could use more than a blank background. I like its ambiguous nature. You have no idea what his face looks like in this.

[For the Emperor! Warhammer 40k]

I think this would have been perfect if not for the fact that it looks a bit too grainy. I know that was intentional. I still love this. I am always becoming more familiar with Warhammer 40K. They just have the most triumphant examples of tropes out there. The lighting effects are done wonderfully here. You get to see these distinctly different figures.

Its variance like that, which makes a good picture. It almost seems like you were trying to imitate a stained glass window. I thought it worked out great for you. Even the stuff raining down on them has uniqueness. A very nice picture as always.

[Punish]

This is a great picture just because of how serious it is. You know how to show off this character in such a stylistic manner. This really is what he's all about. I love how there are little dim bits of red around his body. It really shows what he represents. I think you used the negative space quite well.

I'm thinking that the spot on one side is supposed to be how he doesn't want to be organized. He just wants to kill criminals any way he can. I don't know if that was the intent. I always try to look at meaning in pictures. The red contrasts well with the blank background.

[Crystal Maiden Vs. Lina]

When I first saw the thumbnail, I thought it was supposed to be Elsa from "Frozen". I now know it couldn't because that predates the movie. Unless of course, you managed to get a copy beforehand... Anyway, I don't see why crystals are that connected to ice. You'd think it would just be ice. Then again, crystal sounds better.

You can really see how they are supposed to be sisters. The best part is how the contrast comes together in the middle. I would love to see a cartoon about this. It just seems like a premise that writes itself. You are just that talented.

[I am... IRONDUCK?]

I notice that Disney really does have a lot of ducks in their work. I mean, they got Ducktales from Donald Duck, and Darkwing Duck from that. A pity the Mighty Ducks cartoon was so bad. While it's just one thing, it really is a great picture. It seems like something straight out of a Marvel comic. It doesn't even come off as that goofy.

It just seems to be what a duck character with do with an Iron Man suit. Oh yeah, they have Howard The Duck. The title is probably the funniest part. It seems like the capitalization would be at the beginning. That makes it all the funnier.

[Dota 2 Invoker: Full]

It was weird, because looking at your previous entry, it seemed a bit too different from the first one. I was interested to know how you would make this so much different. You truly did! The colors are wonderfully constructed here. It really does make you realize how disorganized the previous picture was. Even that managed to be a good picture.

It's kind of like a sort of speedpainting. We are shown different parts of the process. Of course, I have seen a lot of your actual speedpaintings. The balls of power or whatever they are, look great. The purple works so well too.

[Consumed]

I don't have much idea on what's going on, but it's a great picture! I really do like the fine details in this. It looks like those red disks are coming towards her or something. It's a bit hard to tell. You really do manage to create a sense of being restrained with her handcuffs too.

The fingerless gloves are a nice touch too. You really can see the concern in her eyes. I don't know what this is a reference to. Whatever it is, it works quite well. Her hair seems to have streaks of red from the discs.

Thank you. This is quite an older piece, but I always appreciate positive feedback. :)
