Ericho's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[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

[Samuel the Ring Leader]

What?!

Dude, at first I didn't understand why this was so highly rated, when it just seemed to be a photograph. I was impressed beyond imagination to find out that it was actually not a photograph at all, but a drawing! I'm going to say right now, I know nothing about "Heroes". It's actually kind of sad how that show seemed to lose its popularity fast. I'm still appreciative of people like you who make great artwork like this. I simply can not tell it is a picture used with Photoshop of any kind.

I guess the only part that looks cartoonish are his eyes. You should make more flawless pictures like this and try to work it out at an art auction. Make sure it isn't fanart or anything, so you won't have to worry about copyright problems. The way each hair and wrinkle is done is completely flawless. Anyone can appreciate what an utter masterpiece this is! The fourteen hours were well worth it, friend!

StudioGiselle responds:

Thank you for your insightful comment Ericho! I really appreciate it. I work a lot these days so it is difficult to find the time to make more art!

[The Vorhees Incident]

Wow, another one!

It's interesting to see an entirely new game come out that's so popular. I love how so many people are coming out with their own different styles to show their appreciation for the series. The only problem I have is that I do not understand why it was Jason who was in this. Now, I'm not familiar with the games so maybe there's a certain irony to it. I think you might have also spelled his last name wrong, although I'm not sure.

It's great to see how much variety the most prolific art reviewer has in this stuff. The black and white really works off itself. It's amazing how much shading you can have in something without color. It's fun to see Jason represented in a rather mundane matter. He would know more about killings than anyone else.

TheShadling responds:

Your last sentence explains why jason is in this.

[Massive boner]

Not stupid

This got a decent score so it's nothing to be ashamed of. The coolest thing is how silly the characters look in this. The biggest suggestion I would make is that you should probably put in a background. The thing that does work the best is that the characters really let their emotions tell the scene. Oh, I'm not that familiar with the "Star Trek" mythos, but I now understand why he would blush the color green. Kirk looks so bishounen as a blonde.

I'm surprised there weren't any blatant gay jokes in this. You can still call me a fan of Star Trek, simply because the most recent movie they made was one of the best films I have ever seen. It's cool to see the emotions slowly accerelate. It feels like it could have been done in a few fewer panels. Hey, that's a funny thing I just said.

Civilized-Apocalypse responds:

the new star trek movie was a horrid disgrace to the franchise of star trek and should die in the ground

[Skull Mask]

Wonderfully done picture

At first I thought this was supposed to be Skeletor or some other character. It's reassuring to know that this was apparently an original creation that was in no way cartoonish. The clothes make it look like it belongs to a nun or some holy worker. I guess it's supposed to fit in with the irony of something ugly in a religious world. The colors are just wonderfully done with this. You can practically see the stained glass coming out at you in the background.

I don't know if this is intended to be spiritual or anything, but it's dang good. The way there is so much detail in this praying figure is flawless. I can't tell if the purple stuff below the mask is its skin or part of the mask. It's so good, I don't think priests would be offended by it being in a church. You are so good with your pencil.

NeonMonster responds:

Never saw this comment, thank you so much :)

[Cocktail]

WOW

This has unanimously good scores for a dang good reason. Everything about it is completely awesome. The coolest thing would have to be that it looks so CGI and it's unbelievable that you managed to do this all in Photoshop. Every single bit has a well shaded and wonderfully done series of layers to it. The disco ball head guy kind of looks scary with how realistic he is. I think I can see some people dancing in the background.

I just now noticed how the straw in his "drink" is really the plugin for the cassette tape. Maybe this symbolizes how old technology is going out and is lonely by itself? He seems to have a happy look on his face. Even every part of his mirrors ball head is realistically done. It makes you wonder what he has for a torso...

Fabhawk responds:

Hello Ericho, Thanks for your words :)

[Beware of Dogtooth]

Nice and dark

This was so cool to look at because there was so much detail and depth put into everything. The best part was probably how there were different positions of the monsters. It was really weird to just see them looking at the viewer with those gaping mouths and eyes. I seem to have forgotten that HappyHarry was involved with anything with someone named Dogtooth. If anything, it shows he can be great at more serious stuff. It's freaky how the one zombie's ribs stick out of his chest so vividly.

You have to look closely, but there are some more zombies in the darkness. It must be cool to have access to two blunt objects at the same time. He's just looking at the viewer in such an awesome manner because we know how cool he is. The shadows and even the ground add to how well detailed it is. It must have taken forever to make something this good.

sucho responds:

its definitely one of his most thorough and interesting projects - but its live action so there's not much evidence of it on newgrounds.... for the moment...

[Halloween Adventure]

Great, but demented

I liked this image a lot because it had such a great amount of detail put into everything. The only thing I did not like was that it was truly frightening! Seriously, this kid looks like some demon out of my nightmares! At first I thought it was a character from "Newgrounds" but I think it's actually the title character from that Flapjack cartoon. It's amazing how every single part of his body is exaggerated so much. Even his buttcheeks are protruding from his pants.

The background is also wonderfully done as well. It has a style different than that of the picture's focus, but still manages to be demented. I like how even his uvula seems to be reaching out of his mouth. The shading is so wonderfully done too. I never thought anything could be more demented than the stuff by John K., but I was proven wrong.

adamkav responds:

Aw thanks, I think highly of John K, so I appreciate that.

[Nosferatu]

I'm finally done!

This is another awesome picture because it captures the spirit of the scariest vampire ever. It's mostly because his apperance with the grotesque head and teeth are so frightening. I am not quite sure if this character is the same as Dracula. I heard some say that "Noseferatu" was actually an alias of Dracula. As this picture was done in black and white, you captured just how well he looked in the movie. It's kind of sad how people don't appreciate good movies that are really old.

Granted, modern film techniques are better but these are still classics. I think he may have the longest nails/claws of any character you have ever drawn. He appears to have blood running out of his mouth. It is a relief to finally have a look and review every single one of your art pieces. You are the first person with whom I have ever done that with.

linda-mota responds:

Thank you so much for all of your reviews you've done on all of my artwork! They've been very helpful and way too kind for someone like me. ^_^
You'll never be done, I'm constantly putting up more art almost every week. I really appreciate what you've done.

I do agree, I end up meeting a lot of people who dislike silent films and classics on the basis of "they're old" or excuses like that.

[madness nine]

Now I get it

I was a bit confused at first because I wasn't sure who those other guys are supposed to be. They kind of looked like earlier versions of Hank before he was injured and stuff. I now recall those characters from the episode. What is cool is that you are giving these guys the recognition they deserve. Those only familiar with the first couple of episodes would not know who these characters are. This is easily one of the strangest MC tributes I've ever seen.

What's weird is that everyone just looks so realistic. I can still see some of those cross faces but the proportions of their body are so well done it's kind of creepy. Of course, an image with a guy leaking blood out of his mouth is supposed to be creepy. Hank is easily the best looking of all because of how sinister he is. The shading is dang impressive too.

jouste responds:

wow thanks so much for the great review!

i really wanted to try and get a more realistic approach to those guys. you pretty much nailed it with your review! thanks so much!
