i think you should look into getting one of those virtual camera things... the one that moves around with the characters and zooms in and such. i mean you're pretty limited with just using sprites so i think having another element would make it much more enjoyable to watch than just a still zoomed out shot...
go ask around on the forums. im sure you'll find one. i know im looking around.

"lol, gotta love the 10er's"

submission: Undead Steel

just because something is abstract and experimental doesn't mean its good. abstract art focuses 'more' ... on composition and lighting and the elements that really make up art. if you were trying to be serious for this one consider such things as those. you have interesting color and textures, the music goes perfectly with those. but maybe the voters DO know what they're talking about. its not artistically impressive. just unique. composition is the first thing i would suggest working on for abstract things like this. positive shapes on a bg is just boring. the shapes are the only thing that interested me. the movements were kinda cool but were basically all similar. keep in mind i would give something like calvin carcass #1 a higher score than im giving this because its a different genre, it can cut certain corners and 'ignore' certain things because of its content. with abstract art and animation there are plenty of things that you can't ignore if you want to make something more interesting.
3/5

"awesome. very smooth"

submission: Circuit Skirmish 2

date: July 13, 2008

the fighting sequences were very smooth. you should have a greater change of scenery though. i think thats one thing that makes fight scenes interesting to watch. that and the interaction with the scenery.
if there's one thing im not fancy about is the main character's design. he just seems really short and stocky and doesn't fit with his swift movements. idk... maybe you could consider him getting an upgrade or something. just so design and movements match better.
5/5 this should be higher on the weekly best.

"wow that was really impressive."

submission: Monster's Dream

date: July 7, 2008

the music and style of backgrounds really gave a cool feeling. just the angles you chose and everything were great. really made the viewer part of the animation. the design of the whole thing worked out great. but you should work on the animation of the character. he seems like a sheet of paper because of the shapes he makes when he turns. he looks skinnier at a profile view than he would judging by the front view. just little things like that that look a little bit unnatural... even though it is a dream XP.
5/5 great job and thanks for the extras it was really interesting.

"six 'n a half months in vain..."

submission: Bitter Bill

date: July 6, 2008

this wouldn't take that long if you knew how to make a flash swift-moving and enjoyably quick. there was a lot of stuff that probably took a long time to animate and just ended up boring the viewer. you have some parts that look natural but overall there are laggy movements and shrinkage with the character. also the character designs limit what you can animate with them. the humongous feet and tiny arms just look kinda stupid. so i think timing and character design are two things you need to work on. visually this just isn't that captivating.
3/5

"good surroundings and concept but"

submission: |~Enemy In The Snow~|

date: July 1, 2008

you need to work on perfecting the basics like running and walking. i noticed a few places looked awkward. you pretty much made up for it with the sound and detail. i know i certainly couldn't have that much detail.
also i think the trackbar should fade out, because it felt that it was covering some part up.
great job. it has a good potential storyline.
5/5

"wow this is some great animation!"

submission: Crows' Life Episode 3

date: June 30, 2008

almost all of the animation was perfectly smooth and understandable... but i think you have the opposite of what something say Pokemon would do, which is lots of standing and no body movement, meaning you have too much body movement with not a lot of talking. you need less unnecessary body movements, it'll just look more natural.
but seriously this is some of the best animation, particularly dubbing animation, that i've seen on NG. Awesome job. can't wait till the next one.

"sorry man but"

submission: Drawing Tutorial: Female

date: June 19, 2008

no woman in the world looks like that. the proportions are really weird the shapes of the parts like waist and shoulders are all wrong... if you could see the things were awkward, why'd you keep it that way? just Ctrl Z and draw it again, its just flash. Don't preach some complicated measuring formula to get people confused- there should be an eye in the chin and a line around here from ear to ear... if you really wanted to teach people about the construction of the face, you could take pictures of differently constructed faces and show how they work and how they differ from each other. all faces are different and people can get a general outline of proportions of mainly the body through tutorials but once you get into how the stance should be and how things align... thats where you go wrong. everything in the body changes alignment in different stances.
pretty good for a tutorial but make sure you get it right before you go confusing people.
AND DAMN YOU! i kept having to scroll down i couldn't hit the next button. XD

"hmm"

submission: CoreyStuckInPurgatoryVII

big fan of the series. but this was a little disappointing, i know every series has to have a plot section where it's quieter and i think those help the story but this wasn't as good as the others in my opinion. also perhaps you could stray away from using as many photo backgrounds as you do. it has a weird contrast to your style of cartooning.
despite all that, you still get a 5/5 because its awesome.
