Ericho's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[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!

*highfives*

[battle block theater fan-age!]

I didn't find this as good as the second part. I guess it's because the monster on the second one was a lot more cool. I still think it's good and of course I knew there was a first one. I guess this white guy really doesn't have good luck. The other guy looks like some orange cat thing. Well, I love cats and the color orange.

It almost looks like he has a shock collar on him or something. He certainly looks unhappy. It looks like he has a suit under his police outfit. The expression on their faces are pretty good too. It's nice to know your second bit was better.

jouste responds:

hey thanks! I really like the cat-cops in BBT so wanted to make a more specific drawing. thanks for the great review and I'm glad you liked the piece!

*highfives*

[battleblock theater fan-age 2!]

This is quite a nice picture. It reminds me of how I have at least seen previews of this game before. I recognize the white head guy. I don't recognize whatever this thing is. I mean, I still think this monster is pretty freaking cool! He has a lot of spit coming out of him.

It's nice to see something like this get popular. I remember when it was new, but not so much anymore. There are really good details on the teeth. He looks like he's going to eat the guy. He's part raccoon, part deer, and I don't know the other part.

jouste responds:

yeah the monster is a really neat combination of a bunch of stuff. He's a pretty scary part of BBT and can lick you apart in no time! thanks again for the well thought out review!

[Orc - Remade]

I've FINALLY finished seeing and reviewing all of your pictures. I am so glad to see this wonderful art piece. I had no idea it was their 5th anniversary. I love how the thumbnail just shows that robot. Hey, I would have liked it even if it was just that robot appearing! The fact that the trick is so wonderfully done shows how great you are.

I love hearing about all the things that made you become an artist. I can barely even recognize the character! The original character STILL looks nice. I am so glad to be a reviewer of fantastic works such as this. I'd love to see more remakes. You are awesome, dude!

Jazza responds:

I can't thank you enough for how much support you show to my work, I see your reviews all the time and am always eager to hear what you have to say, thanks for being such a huge support :)

[Consumed]

I don't have much idea on what's going on, but it's a great picture! I really do like the fine details in this. It looks like those red disks are coming towards her or something. It's a bit hard to tell. You really do manage to create a sense of being restrained with her handcuffs too.

The fingerless gloves are a nice touch too. You really can see the concern in her eyes. I don't know what this is a reference to. Whatever it is, it works quite well. Her hair seems to have streaks of red from the discs.

zigan responds:

Thank you. This is quite an older piece, but I always appreciate positive feedback. :)

[The Undersea]

It's always a good idea to say how long it took you to make something. That way, we can get a good sense of the effort. Of course, anything this awesome would have effort like that. I just love how you portray this beautiful world. The only thing I didn't like was how there should have been more kinds of life. There were just whales and fish.

The whale reminded me of a certain pokemon, Kyogre, that was its name! I'm glad I'm not behind on my pokemon names. I think these balls of light are supposed to be eggs. Whatever they are, they certainly look wonderful. The light coming below is great too.

Kamikaye responds:

Thanks a lot :)
There might bemicroscopic life around ;) Na seriously, I didn' t really know what to add in the end regardig lifeforms. The orange ones could be eggs, or other lifeforms, who knows :)

[the legend of zelda]

Wow, it's amazing what high scores a lot of these drawings have. I'm not complaining, I think this is great like everyone else does. I love how it just seems to capture pain. You don't think of emotions that strong when referring to a video game. Then again, the Zelda games are pretty plot driven. It's hard to tell where the blood is coming from.

It doesn't look like it's from Link or the fairy. It looks like it could be from a scrapped knee, but Link has pants on. Yeah, you could tell by my icon I'm familiar with him. The fact that we don't see his eyes makes this all the more stronger. The detail is wonderful.

dommi-fresh responds:

thanks man i do get a little too deep into my characters when playing games. glad you like it though

[Left 4 Sled]

I don't see why this has such a low score. The reviewers don't seem to support it. Judging by the thumbnail, I thought that was Walter White. I was about to compliment on how good you draw live-action characters. Well, I still enjoyed this piece. It's funny, because I didn't notice they were sledding on a zombie!

I don't know what the blood trail on the snowman means. Was there a zombie there? It is nice to see these guys having a fun time. I often notice new things on this. There's a frozen zombie in the background. I guess people were expecting more of a mashup.

TmsT responds:

The blood trail there is the snowman's tongue, because it's "the smoker", one of the zombies who has a really long tongue (and a puffy, deformed face).
Cheers!

[Sonichu]

What does COOC stand for? I doubt he ever would feature it on his site. He doesn't really care much for anyone, really. I knew it was going to be something ironic. There's no way you would just use that thumbnail for a drawing. He's still there in the corner, though.

I myself am not much of a furry. Then again, I am a straight male. Wait, does that make sense in this? Whatever. It's always nice to see when fans make their own works that are so much better than the original content.

sucho responds:

oh, ignore the pokeballs, the fingers are suppose to represent a W to make Chris-chan's initials, CWC. its a little confusing given the separate colors for each, but couldn't leave out the ol' red white and blue

[MOLESTER DUDES]

I admit I don't like this that much. It still isn't bad. I think it really does have a funny way of contrasting what these guys look like. It is kind of a classic feel. Of course, they both have the same goals. Many drawn people are ugly anyway, so it's nice to label them as molesters.

While it lacked color, it is nice to see something you made in a short time. I wish I knew how to upload stuff here I drew in real life. The all capitals are good for emphasis. I like the real paper you used. While not great, it is authentic.

JohnnyUtah responds:

this is certainly a review
