Ericho's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[We found peace]

Yes, perfect! I just saw the video that promotes this! It's easy to see why this was Jazza's favorite. I'm surpassed you didn't mention the specific recognition for this. It's a great picture because of how beautiful it is. You know how to create such a sense of harmony.

Everything just seems so happy and joyous in this. I love how you've made everything so colorful. I doubt there even are birds that look that great. The woman seems to be lacking shorts or something. The trees themselves look like animals and/or birds! You are a true artist!

clayscence responds:

thank you so much :D I really appreciate your kind words, I am happy you like it!

[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
