Ericho's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[How's It Taste, Mother Fucker?]

Lions are scary

I thought this was going to be a drawing of one of the characters from "Pulp Fiction". Of course, it turned out to be something just as cool. This probably was a reference to PF in some way. I can just imagine the lion in his suit as Samuel L. Jackson but now I realize it is probably more of a "Chappelle's Show" reference. It makes you wonder if he's chomping on barbacued zebra when asking that question. I read too much "Pearls Before Swine".

The best part is how there is so much great detail put into the lion's face. While there is no color, there looks like there's a great shading effect with how he just stands (or I guess lions don't stand) there. While it's a talking lion, it's actually a very realistic reendition of a lion. It's like you got close enough to one at the zoo to draw this. Even the words he says have great art in them.

That reference to the Chappelle's Show is actually a reference to Sam Jackson's character in Pulp Fiction, so its a bit of both there.

Thanks much for the review.

[red baron]

When I first heard this title...

...I was hoping it was going to be a reference to Snoopy in the "Peanuts" comic strip. Of course, I don't think I ever even heard of the real Red Baron before that comic. This is certainly a great piece of art to celebrate that other Red Baron more known here. That reminds me of how that happens to be one of my favorite games. The main color is red here but there are a lot of good shading effects. It seems like it was drawn on brown paper, but that could be the color.

He is surrounded on all sides by the light coming off him. That gives the image a really good CGI effect to give it depth. There's a lot of detail on him and it makes you realize how there are so many things on this guy. The spikes are really good and it looks like he has leather straps or something on his forearms. The battle stance is great too.

Possibly your best yet!

This is another submission where you truly give into the insanity of your art style. While I am not familiar with Hellsing, I can still appreciate how awesome this picture is! This is where you really let your sharp points show their style! It isn't just the fingers but also the teeth, tongue and maybe even some of the limbs. It's cool to see how this dark matter just flies out of her arm becoming her new body! My only problem is that there does seem to be a line near her tongue that shouldn't be there.

The pose is extremely terrifying as well. It's not enough that you simply show the appearance she has taken on, you show her actually doing something. It is left up to the viewer's imagination to see what will happen next. I imagine drinking blood would never do anything that good to you. It's a bit hard to see the breasts in this shot.

NO SERAS BOOBIES FOR YOU!
But seriously, thank you so much for that review. =)

['Frog Eclipse']

Wonderfully done

I am so glad to be introduced to your art style, because this is some truly impressive artwork! The best part is that are simply so many things to look at in this single picture. The main image is the giant frog judging by the title. I suppose the lack of color was meant to emphasis that it was an eclipse. There were so many tiny objects in the background that you have to look closely. I can see some magnets and some objects that appear to have eyes, so it's hard to tell if they're objects.

I can make out a great staircase as well as a plate of spaghetti on top with legs. This is a great example of how a person can tell a story with a single image. It's as good as any great abstract cartoon sent here. Some of the planets appear to be falling down or maybe they're held up by wire. While completely incomprehensible, still flawless.

Whoah, i'm just finding this review which is rather 'old' (hope we get some sort of "notification" with the redesign, coming, extremely soon!).
Well, glad you liked it, I've been still aiming for this kind of 'abstract' work lately so there's definitively more to come!
