Ericho's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[the Engineer]

I assumed that "The Engineer" was the name of one of the "Team Fortress 2" characters. I was about to write, this doesn't look anything like him. It makes more sense now that I know he's an original creation. I think you put a wonderful amount of detail into this picture. I just now notice the stuff in the background and the machine behind him. It looks more like he's going into battle instead of digging.

Of course, this being the Internet, who says he isn't doing both? The illumination is wonderful. I like the power lines in the background. It's just a little something that lights up the scene. Well, I guess his helmet does that best, lol.

[2]

I have to admit that I really don't know what the number means. This was submitted on Madness Day. How odd for it to have nothing to do with that. I still think this is a good picture. I almost wish I knew what your dad really looked like so I could judge this. Well, I do kind of know what he looks like from this.

I think it's great that you drew someone you know and not just a famous person. I still don't think it's one of the best out there. It looks like a bust in that he has no shoulders. I can see the stern look in his face. I hope your father is proud of you.

[Inner Darkness]

It looks like you are in fact turning this into an actual story. Well, it uses the same character at least. Look, if you're making someone as loved as this, you should make a cartoon out of it! I can just see you winning every positive award out there. From the title, I thought this was going to be something disgusting. Like, you would talk about her literal insides.

I am so glad you did not. You get to learn so much from this one image. She seems to be slowly turning less carefree as the pictures go on. Well, I don't know their chronological order. The colors are wonderfully bright too.

[Tarboy Rage]

I should know more about these competitions. I thought this guy was supposed to be a xenomorph head at first. He seems to be something else entirely. The background is the best part of the whole thing. I only know remember that classic "Tarboy" cartoon. Dang, they should make another one.

He looks pretty scary in here. I don't know if he's in the state of attack or demanding something. It certainly doesn't seem pleasant. It's the first Tarboy fanart I've seen. I don't even remember him looking like this.

[Wash On Wash Off]

Oh yeah, I really am getting more fond of Larry. I guess it would be too cluttered to put all the comics up here. I should have known some hardcore gay thing was going to show up. That's what to be expected on the Internet! At first, I was thinking it was just him doing that thing in the first panel. It was interesting to see how it escalated.

I think the fire under the nuts could count as SBM, too. It is kind of creepy to see a little guy in that situation. Unless that's your thing of course. Comics are good ways to become familiar with the story. I just wish you weren't on hiatus with this.

[Mictlantecuhtli, God of Death]

I thought at first that this was a drawing of the character from "Indiana Jones And The Temple Of Doom". Then I thought it might have been someone from "The Princess And The Frog". Now I realize it's simply a god figure in Aztec mythology. That guy has appeared a lot in popular culture. He is pretty disgusting with the eyes in the necklace. They're pretty well cut out, I guess.

I like how you see that red pyramid in the background. It really gives off a feeling of gore. Interestingly enough, his expression doesn't seem that intimidating. He even looks kind of disappointed. Well, I'm certain he has a lot of blood on his hands.

[Hydra]

Ah yes, the hydra is quite a special mythical creature. I have never seen any art piece that won awards like these. I had no idea there even was a monthly 3rd place. We should record that. I counted a total of thirteen heads. This is a wonderful picture because of how well it captures the spirit of mythology.

They all look similar with the monstrous teeth. I especially love how the teeth are done. I don't know how they're balancing on the water. Maybe there's more heads underneath? Oh yeah, it's close to shore.

[Witchblade]

I remember Witchblade. I didn't know she was from a webcomic. I just assumed she was an X-Men character. Seriously, that probably has the most individual characters of any popular thing. I think this is a great picture. You really seem to capture the toughness of her.

I think I may have seen her before. It looks like she's covered in bones or something. That is one awesome design. You really know how to put detail on all of her body. She even has spikes on her shoulders.
