Ericho's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[I.V. 5]

Well, I guess this is the last of the IV pictures. I'm surprised people were able to submit so much art stuff in only one day. Well, it was worth it to see all these pictures. I really appreciate how she sticks out from the others by having her arms spread. You really get the idea that this is a big, strong character ready to kill people. The two guns fully spread out looks great too.

I noticed she has a green thong on. I don't find her that attractive, but I find it funny you would actually do numerous pictures of a female character. The colors are all wonderful in this. I especially love how you see so much of her body, even if it isn't her front. Your signature is cool too.

Krinkels responds:

Yeah I got a thing for powerful, violent female characters. I really need to apply what I did here to future work, the expressive posture, and all.

[Poultry]

I liked this because it seemed like you were trying to send a message about vegetarianism or something. The duck here looks a lot like Plucky Duck. I just can't think of any other green ducks. The artwork was really well done here, especially with how you put so much emphasis on shading with the cheeks. I also think it's sweet how he has an orange "X" around him as that's my favorite color. Green's my brother's favorite color.

There isn't much besides that, but it's still a decent picture. I am starting to see how well you use your light effects in all your works, like the hot dog picture. I probably would like it more if there was a background. It's basically a non-sequitor picture in itself. It should appeal to all of your fans.

Leigh responds:

Yeah okay thanks.

[The Magic Bullets]

This looks just like it was something out of the Beatles' "Yellow Submarine". What's cool is that YS happens to be one of my favorite movies. I could just not get over how insanely awesome the animation was and the overall story. I really like this, because it seems like you wanted to create something that was authentic but still paying tribute. I have never heard of the band The Magic Bullets before. If they inspired something like this, they must be good.

I love how the Sun (or something like that) is seen illuminating the figures, giving it a very strong appearance. It's one of those images that makes you think about hope. Okay, it also makes you think about drugs, but that's besides the point. I'm sure the band would be impressed if you ever showed this to them. It's also cool how his shirt seems to be almost part of the background.

fabulous999 responds:

Thank you, I had fun making it.

[Locust Fo' Evah]

One of your coolest!

What is wrong with these voters giving this a fairly lower than normal rating? This is great because of how wonderful the colors are defined and stuff! A 65 year old trapped in a porn star's body is a pretty scary subject. I like how there are these claws that are just jutting out from her, even though I don't know how they do. I'm guessing those are supposed to be wings, but they could also be claws. I like how all these other monsters are looking at her so funny.

Even the writing is done in a very cool manner. She really does look like she's in a fairly horny mood. I guess it's the tongue. I have little idea what is going on in this picture and I am not even sure if it is supposed to be a representation of something someone else made. It's got lots of great detail and seeing as how this was made close to Christmas, I now wish you a merry Christmas.

MindChamber responds:

haha I really liked making this picture, but its gotta be the lowest score ive gotten here yet! Im assuming people dont like the subject matter?

anyways, those blurry claws are actually leather tassels that drape from her hips,

shes actually grabbing her crotch and thrusting her hips forward, making the tassels bounce around. Though I might not been able to achieve that..

[[Shump] Steampunk concepts]

Here's your score

I wish I had some idea what causes certain submissions to have no ratings on them. Of course, we always have the reviews! I thought this was kind of one of your weaker entries, but it's still well done. Its strongest point is probably how you use these sketches so well. It reckons back to the old days in the Renaissance period where people like Leonardo Da Vinci showed off their art work. Hey, we're the modern day Leonardos!

It would have worked better if there was more background. Then again, that was more of the point with the sketches. The colors are pretty well done and I really understand where you're coming from with this. The bright yellow colors are easily the most elaborate. It doesn't really seem so steampunk, more like standard fantasy.

MindChamber responds:

The reason some submissions have no score is because its submitted as a "sketch" or WIP. so its not officially in the Art portal.

thanks for the review

[Morrigan Aensland]

Nearly perfect!

The only reason I didn't like this more is because it's not the hottest Morrigan I've ever seen. That would go to the Morrigan featured in "MVC3: Dante". Of course, this is still great because you get everything about Morrigan completely right. This is one of the few pictures where you get a great shot of her butt. Hey, every part of her is hot! I am confused as to why it was put in "Mature" because I didn't see any private parts.

Morrigan's cleavage is just massive in this! Seriously, I think those boobs have to be the size of her head (each)! The background is fantastic as well, particularly with how the shading is so perfect. You just know how to get absolutely everything right in this. It's exactly what Morrigan, as a succubus should be in her pose. You can appreciate everything that makes her so beautiful.

Sabtastic responds:

Thanks!! haha
I agree, yeah. It's so hard to do Morrigan justice. She's just got so much fanservice potential. lol

I showed this picture to a co-worker today, and she was like, "WHOA, BOOBS! -- SO MUCH OF THEM!" and then we joked about how her boobs take up about 50% of the image.

[STARBARIANS]

Holy cow!

I take back every bad thing I ever said about you, you are awesome! This is one of the sweetest pictures I have ever seen on the Art Portal! The coolest part is that you don't try to make it vulgar or anything. The original "Starbarians" was great for giving us fanservice, but epic battles are just as sweet! It kind of portrays what a less comedic approach on this flash would be. It's amazing how everyone and everything has all these bright colors on them.

All the body tones are wonderfully done, with so much emphasis on the muscles. There's even a little bit of boob for us! It seems like every single part of this is wonderfully detailed and has something going on. Like just, I noticed the Alien Hominids running around. The colors are so high class and so realistic. This is just freaking awesome on every single level and you are fantastic!

sucho responds:

whu...what did you say about me?

[22]

Very abstract

This is an extremely ridiculous picture, but the graphics and everything else are incredibly well done. I'm guessing that's supposed to be semen coming out of the pencil? Either that or candle wax. Geez, how many bad and crude things can be on your face that are colored white? I also really like the stars who have the weird faces for some reason. Nothing makes sense in this picture at all, but it's still very well done.

The background is fantastic and I notice how it seems to be actually dripping. It's like it's in a town made of chocolate! The shading effects are great, especially around the eyes of the girl. I'm sure there's 22 of something in this picture, or is that the girl's name? The background colors are also great with the skyline.

sucho responds:

mmm...choco town. 22 is the age, this is in a series of portraits.

[Mr. Bernard Berkeley]

Hey, XwaynecoltX is below me!

I wish I had some idea as to what the name was supposed to mean. Is there some popular fictional character under this name and appearance? It doesn't matter, because this still manages to be a fantastic art piece. I suppose it's most likely because I am such a huge fan of cats. There are just so many great details in this, like how the leaves on the side look like the cat's whiskers. It's amazing how there are so many hairs that are individually detailed.

That reminds me, I might see "Puss In Boots" tonight. I just love how dignified this human cat looks and how he seems to be staring off studying. Look out, human dog! Even the background is nicely done with the nice colors and shading. I like how there are so many shadings and markings in the picture. I hope to someday look as good as this cat.

Araelyn responds:

Haha no it's not a popular character, I just make up fun names for stuff sometimes. Thanks for the review <3

[1 2 3 4!]

This is weird

I guess I do have to appreciate these art pieces, because they are in fact completely ridiculous. I have no idea if you are trying to give out a political message or anything else. I didn't really care for this one because it didn't seem to have anything unique. I'm not sure what the big deal is about a guy with a lion's head. I notice that his hands indicated he's black. Is that because black people live in Africa and if so that's racist!

Well, I have to compliment you for having a unique style. I think the shading is a bit better in this one, but you still need work with the dark outlines. It looks like this dude has a candle on top of his drums. The other coloring effects are decent, but do often come off as being too weird. I still like it how he streaks off at the bottom.

Mekka23 responds:

Thanks for the feedback, His hand's are the same color as his fur, which is a dark brown. And even if i made him have black hand's it wouldn't be racist. Also, that's a crash cymbal and the candle object is the device to fasten it to it's stand
