Ericho's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[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.

[night city]

Here's another great picture from you! I especially love how everything goes on a slope. I don't see why a real life city would be like that, but I don't care. I really do love the atmosphere. It gives off a good notion of being in a wonderful place. I think it forms a face.

I like how there are two moons indicating it's on another planet. It must be nice to live on a planet like that. The two moons are the eyes and the skyline could be a grin. It's great to see the little lights that are there. I can see why this got awards.

[doorway assassin]

I didn't find this as good as some of your other works. It's still a nice picture. I am seeing the style from the previous drawing you made. I still think it looks a bit too childish. I really do like the facial expression of this woman. It's great to see her wearing those clothes.

It reminds me a lot of the "Assassin's Creed" series. Granted, I don't know much about that except for the clothes worn by the main character. It's a pretty sassy look, now that I think about it. The red hair is always good. It goes well with the lips.

[The Invincible Iron Man]

I guess it would be kind of gauche to say I'm more familiar with the movie version. I can recognize him more from that. Eh, those make more money than comic books anyway. I really love how he appears from this fire. It kind of reminds me of "Iron Man 3". The blue part of his hand makes it look like he has ice powers.

Then again, hotter fire is actually blue. It's just not how we normally picture it. The illumination is done wonderfully here as well. He really does have a facial expression. It's simply a very nice picture.

[lucky dwarf!]

I can't tell what his sword seems to be saying. I think it's "Chierin" or something. I'm probably looking too deep into it. I really do like this piece even though it is not one of your best. It seems like a drawing that would be in a children's book. It specifically reminds me of "Where The Wild Things Are".

Even the sides of the cavern are nice. I think it is a little bit too grainy. It looks like you've done different textures of drawings. It certainly seems like something done with pens. I recognize the axe design.

[Spiderman and Iron Man]

I think this is a great picture! The best part about it is probably how well you get the body proportions down. You seem to show them in the right areas. It just makes more sense from the angle at which the characters are shown. Iron Man probably looks better.

I imagine it would be easier to make more realistic depictions with a robotic like character. At least there was some background. It did look kind of stylistic with how there was this big rectangle of background in the middle. They certainly seem to be in the mood for some action. Marvel is like that.
