Ericho's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Windrunner]

Dude, this has a rating of freaking 4.96! I think that may be the highest I have ever seen anything being rated on this website, if not the entire Internet! Was this meant to be the princess from "Brave"? Or maybe someone from a Zelda game? Whatever it was, it was done perfectly. I simply can't not like something so high rated!

It could always change, but it's flawless. Oh, it's from DOTA 2. Jazza sure has taught me a lot about that. I just submitted my first art piece today. I hope ANYONE can become even close to this good as you are. The background is fantastic. Did you scan an actual canvas?

KattyC responds:

Thank you so much :) It is scanned from watercolor paper

[The Zabrak Droid]

Dude, that's awesome! I was thinking that maybe it was supposed to be like Doctor Doom. I know realize it is a lot more like General Grievous. This is an awesome name. I haven't read that much Expanded Universe material, so I imagine it's from that. It's wonderful to see all the little details put into the little gears and stuff.

I also love the axe he's holding and one arm appears to be a gun. Even the background is done wonderfully. My only complaint is that I think the picture is a little long. It's still wonderful, because you can always find new stuff in it. I just now noticed the blades on his front arms.

Nempatriarch responds:

Thank you for your kind words! This is just a comission, so its not canon in any way. The guy wanted a zabrak stormtrooper gone the same path as grievous, so i guess i achieved my goal.

[L4D - Out of Ammo]

I regret to say that I don't know much about this collab. Then again, there have been so many of them, it's hard to remember. I like how casual the guy seems. He's probably just used to killing zombies. The silhouettes look quite monstrous. I do think this could be more detailed.

I guess I was just wishing for more action. I like the little green stuff on the bottom. Is that zombie blood? I didn't know that zombies had different colored blood. Of course, you can make up whatever you want with them.

Sabtastic responds:

Oh - haha the green stuff is "Boomer bile". It's a thing from Left 4 Dead where there's all kinds of special infected zombies with crazy abilities. The Boomer is a big gross bloated zombie with the ability to project bile onto its victims. The bile attracts hordes of zombies! o_o

[that explains everything]

It's actually kind of sad looking at this. I have no idea what this Galacticamaru character is. I am just so used to seeing the titular character and I do mean "tit"-ular character. He looks like a creature right out of "Dragonball Z", which makes sense. I wish Egoraptor was back. It's still a pretty cool image.

I really like seeing all these pieces of rock shatter everywhere. That never gets old. It really is cool to see these characters like that. A pity I only know Girlchan's name. Ah, I guess most people do.

jouste responds:

yeah that's true! most people only know girlchan and not the other awesome characters in this series. I actually heard that egoraptor might make another episode! *fingers crossed*

*highfives*

[gotham's dirty work]

He seems to look a lot more like Catwoman. Doesn't she usually wear the goggles? His utility belt seems to be a bit too big. Then again, it probably is a more realistic interpretation. The background is pretty good too. It really does seem dirty and in a sewage.

His insignia is now part of his shoulder. It is a image that takes awhile to get used to. I still find it to be a decent version of Batman. There have been so many already it's hard to find some that are truly original. This fit the bill well.

dommi-fresh responds:

thanks man i tried to make a more real less wealthy batman

[larry vs. gnomes entry]

This is one of the nicest pictures I've come across of Larry. You really know how to put a unique spin on the character. It works well because it's faithful even though it's a different design. It seems to be a more serious way of looking at the character. I don't recall one of the gnomes looking like that. I'm referring to the purple one.

He looks more like a character from the "Dad 'N Me" series. You can't see the other ones well. It's still a fantastic image of course. The best part is how there are so many behind him. Larry certainly looks older, or at least taller.

jouste responds:

yeah i did make him taller so i could fit more detail on him. The big purple guy behind him is actually my favorite boss in the Larry vs. the Gnomes game! Thanks for another thoughtful review!

*highfives*

[link from beyond the grave]

While not that special, I did in fact like this. I think the best part is probably how grim it comes across as. I think this is a pretty accurate depiction of a rotting corpse. There may be no zombies in real life, but we have dead bodies to look at. You really are a great artist. So I guess Navi is evil now too.

Eh, no one liked her anyway. I like how you include a story to go with it. We don't need a literature portal with you! Zombies are just so awesome. The background is great too.

dommi-fresh responds:

thanks man

[Autumn Guard]

I thought this was good, but not as much as most people. I think the head is a bit too small. Of course, it was probably supposed to look like a hunchback. Part of his arm seems to be missing. I'm not quite sure if that means that part's floating. I really like the joke about not having the background. Hey, that is something I noticed!

I knew those were leaves. It's funny how almost all your other art has people in it, at least judging by your thumbnails. It is a pretty unique design. I think the colors could be better. I like how you described it.

kmau responds:

I agree with pretty much everything you wrote, this thing really didn't age very well. There are only a few other machines in my gallery and the most recent one actually has arms that connect to the body so I guess that's a step up!

[WOLVERINE!]

Wow, this is a great picture! It really does work hard to capture Wolverine's essence. I love all the little details, like the blood on his claws. You've created a wonderful atmosphere too. The ripped shirt makes him look, well, ripped. It has a nice ambiguous nature.

While his eyes aren't seen, you can still understand his facial expression. The all capitals emphasize it well. The shadows and darkness are used wonderfully too. I can even see some stuff in the background, like he's on a wall. A very deep picture.

dommi-fresh responds:

thanks i have been a big fan of wolverine since i was a nipper. glad you like it

[goofer the gravemonster!]

While a very strange picture, it's still very nice to look at. My favorite part is how there are so many of the little things in this that you can see. This guy has four spike bones as weapons on his arm. There even seem to be bones rising out of the ground. The two shovels are a nice touch, or are they weapons? Either way, they look cool.

I'm glad this appeared on the front page. He looks like he has a hole on his back somewhere. With all the spikes coming out, that would make sense. A little too much negative space, but still great. Even his toenails are nice and sharp!

jouste responds:

hey thanks!

goofer was done quite a while ago when i was still figuring out what kind of style I wanted to make my own. He is definitely in the direction that I ended up in. Thanks again for another thoughtful review!
