[The Master]

Not bad but bland

It was a cute short but too little action in it.

I know obiously it was meant to be just a quickie about a j oke but graphic wise there wasnt much to look at but a the two guys.

i know it means more work but something like view point from the fly flying around. Maybe him making smart alecy comments about him not being caught or something would have added more spice. Sound was good and graphics decent. But the blandness accounts for the low score.

Keep producing though, I think you will have some nice ones.

Bearzark responds:

Thank you I will work on that.

Not bad, content and animation needs work

That scene between father and son, dracula stuff, was cute. ^_^ Made me laugh.

Only real critism besides needs to work on the animation, looked too tweened and jack-in-the boxish, is the script seemed rather disjointed. Didnt seem like a single plot. Just a bunch of jokes run together or bits like a string of beads. Need to tie it together better as a story. but I say over all you did well.

When I say jack-in-the-box I mean these little toys they used to have like 100 years ago where the little character would jump around to music and his limbs were put together at joints and he would flop around.

Really animation if you want to short cut it, (I knwo its alot of work) works better if you just make the eyes move, mouth, and then the arms at the shoulder joint. And redraw the hands for differnt poses. Other wise it looks cheap. And its less work. I guess.

Foamy is a great example of simple animation with good drawing.

Thats me two cents.

Cute made me smile

Strawberry clock is a legend now. This was cute. Good job.

Made me smile. Your art is coming along.

[Lilium]

wow, good drawing but icky content

I have to say this is the first time I have ever been stunned.

Your talented but the content is absolutely grewsome. Which is what you wanted apparently. You took a thing of beauty like a little girl and made her a thing of horror.

I have a gothic comic on my site, its not like I flinch at the site of blood but watching this was about as much fun as watching some one get raped.

It was ugly.

Geez.

Beauty feeds the imagination. And this was not beautiful. Well drawn but ugly of soul.

[College University pt 10]

NICE!!

Man if this episode isnt as good as the others, I cant wait to see the others.

Very funny, I laughed out loud.

You tweened but you knew just how to do it. Excellent. Fun to look and and watch. I wasnt prepared for how long it would be.

I thought it would just last a minute or two. Im surprised your not on adult swim.

Keep em coming.

[Scars Will Never Heal]

Ugg re-do

Another toon to make me sigh. I wish you would get someone to help on the drawing. If your going to take the time to do something, put the time into it to make it look nice.

Didnt watch the whole thing. I know what you were going for but too overdramatic to be funny.

Language not necessary.

Ugg do over.

Obiously your doing this for fun, but you need to put the care into it, even if its just a fun piece.

[Where do clams come from]

I like it but it still needs work.

The beginning was confusing because you didnt make it clear enough that she was not a human but a dryad. It got good toward the end. The animation isnt bad. The beginning where she is laying down looks a bit too much tweened or lazy animationed. Needs more action. Like a bird flying by ect.

I think if you had her walk out of the tree, in the beginning, it would have been more clear. Or do more to show she's a dryad right off the bat, it would have been less confusing.

Pretty good over all. Work on the animation. Very nice.

[Perspective]

Damn boy your good.

Drawing is much better in this one than the from a bove one. Try to shoot for this quality.

Heh heh. Hate v day? Me thinks you are a romantic at heart.

Good stuff. All your stuff is well written.

[From Above]

Good job, needs a little work on the drawing.

I really liked your toon. Great script. Only thing I would say work on is the art its self. That style of face made it look ametuerish. and it is definately not. The eyes especially. And too much tweening. Needed a few more frames. Like where he is staring at the thing that dropped from the sky.

Either shorten the sequence or put some more movement in there like eye and mouth expressiveness. ect.

I know toons are a lot of work but if you short cut too much it makes your stuff look cheap then there goes all your hard work.

Better graphics would have brought it a higher score IMO.

[Schoolyard Samurai]

Not bad

That was pretty good. Good sound efects. Gave it that japan movie feel. The only thing I would change is the blood. Instead of him really killing the other boy. Have some ketchup packets fall out of his shirt pocket and he not really die.

It would have gone better wiith the stick swords and school ground.

Getting hit with the ball was priceless.
