Ericho's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[elf and goblin showdown]

Wow, you were certainly busy on July 8th, 2009! It must have been a chore to simply put all these things out! While not great, this was better than the previous entries. It's a good use of the textbook drawing design. It may not be on a textbook, but it certainly reminds me of one. I think those are leaves flying around them.

He looks more like a zombie than a goblin. Perhaps he's both? I like the look on the woman's face too. It has more of a background than a lot of your other drawings. Her face reminds me of Princess Zelda.

[El Aurige]

Dude, this is one of the most wonderful art pieces ever made! It is IMHO, at least. I was just watching fireworks outside my room. It reminded me of them! It wasn't so much that, it just made me realize the beauty of the world around us. In this picture, it looks like the heavens are pouring out! It looks like something from "Avatar".

I love the fireflies or whatever those things are. It wonderfully captures the atmosphere. There seem to be some machines in the clouds. I don't know why, but it still looks awesome! This should have gotten Daily Feature. It's just a gorgeous piece of work!

[the empty one]

I don't see what you mean by "soulless". I'm going to assume that means he's evil. He doesn't look evil. It looks like you were trying to give off the notion that he's just a boring person. Being bland doesn't mean you have no soul! Anyway, this isn't that bad of a drawing. It's at least better than the one about the guy who isn't cool.

I think you should have put some background in this. I'm starting to like this shading effect you use. It comes off as pretty authentic. By that I mean realistic. A bit too bland of a picture to really...recommend, can you recommend a picture?

[Bug Bait]

I admit that I'm not a big fan of the game series, but this is truly a great picture! Granted, it's probably because I don't have other Reemus pictures to compare it to. It doesn't matter, it's still wonderful. I think you probably drew this better than the actual creator! In fact, I'm surprised you aren't the original creator of this! I love how good the shading is.

There really are a wide variety of invertabrates here. They all have a distinct drawing. They appear to be in some giant mouth of some sort. I don't know, it's been a long time since I've played the games. I can't tell if this is something from them.

[the not so cool kid]

I guess I just thought this was too mundane of a picture. It's just a kid who isn't cool. Are we supposed to sympathize with him? It seems hard. I guess the picture isn't that bad in itself. The artwork is pretty good. It's just that this seems like a step back from the other stuff you've made.

At least the kid isn't that fat. The underwear is a good indication of how uncool he is. The expressions are okay. Well, other people seem to like this. I'm glad they can enjoy this. I just don't see the appeal.

[Old Cowboy]

For some reason, I thought your thumbnail looked like a pokemon. I think this is the first drawing I've seen that had won three awards! Granted, I don't think "frontpaged" is really an award, but it counts. It really does deliver exactly what the title promises. I imagine this is how an old cowboy would look. The best part is probably the red.

It looks like he has a robotic eye. I guess a cowboy living to be that old would have some new technology available. I can see now that his hat has bullet holes in it. The insignia on his arm is great too. This is simply a well detailed picture.

[Cave Troll!]

Okay, I think I can now see this as my favorite drawing of yours. What makes it so wonderful is how you really show off this massive being. It seems more appropriate to call him a troll. There doesn't seem to be any cave around. I love how there's fire too. I didn't even notice that at first!

It's great to see all the big cuts on the troll. You get the sense that they are at least trying to kill it. The ropes are a great touch too. He seems to look like a hunchback now. Even the clouds are great!

[pipe dream]

YES! Another wonderful drawing from you! I think you might be becoming my favorite artist on the whole website! This surpasses the previous drawing I reviewed because it's more detailed. You get a greater sense of being in on the action. Everything gets emphasized in the middle.

The way the colors change are fantastic as well. There's so much detail put into the houses. I think some of them resemble Daleks, with the parts that come out. There's even a bridge in the background. The . for the author comments was great too! I hope to see more great stuff from you.

[Dragon Rider]

I think this is your best image around this time! It manages to keep that kidlike drawing, but adds a more adult edge to it. My only complaint is that there could be a background. I just love how it's such a standard story being told. Well, usually the knight fights the dragon. I guess I was wrong in that it's unique.

That's always a plus in drawings. I like all the little scales. I guess dragons are usually depicted as having claws like that. I think they're modeled after dragons, right? I hope he's going to rescue a princess or something.
