This was kinda fun to watch because I've always liked seeing other artist's styles. What would have been really cool is if you had recorded yourself actually painting these and not just stages of different "doneness" There might be a couple complaints about how "this is what the art forums are for." But you're certainly a pretty adept illustrator. Well done.

It was your first flash submission, and it wasn't bad, so don't be discouraged by any low scores. I think you should definitley keep going as I see some real potential for humor here. There were a couple of issues, but nothing that any first time flash animator wouldnt make.

It lacked color, which led to a really boring stage of black and white flatness. Adding some background in would have been great, and led to a more finished looking flash animation. My only REAL issue with this was the tv snow sound you had inbetween each scene. I understand what you were going for, and it was the simplest way for you to switch scenes without a buttload of animation. The problem was that the audio for the tv sound was SO loud, and the voices...were not so loud. I found myself bringing the volume up to hear the jokes only to get deafened by the tv sounds.

There was some length to it though, and it seemed like you had a good time making this. My score may or may not be higher than other people's. I don't know, but as I said before, if you happen to get that low score don't let it discourage you. You have some potential here.

I look forward to your future submissions. Keep rocking friend!

Thank you thank you thank you! My new animation is in color and im spending way more time on it.
And the audio i had no idea about. So thanks for telling me about that, i'l work on it. I'm not using that transition in the next one so yeah. I'l try boosting the volume, but i already have most of the audio in the flash animation. My new animation won't have that much improvement but, it will have a noticeable effect.

This proves that you dont have to have amazing illustration skills or animation skills in order to make a good flash submission. As long as you execute a story well, it can be awesome regardless- which is exactly what you did. (Though it looks as if your illustration wasnt half bad either.) I wish there was subtitles because sometimes the voices were too garbled for me to understand what was being said. Overall though, this was short, and well put together. A nice little watch if you have nothing else to do. Good work.

A very simple message done in a beautiful abstract way. The style was great, and the entire animation was professionally executed. I did indeed enjoy it. My only issue is yellow on white. Not so much a good design choice as it makes it hard to see I'm sure for some people- impossible for me because I'm color blind. (kinda like newgrounds having the flash comment box red, and the spell checker has a red underline...c'mon guys!)

I certainly look forward to your future submissions. If this took only three days I'm excited how something would look if you took a couple weeks. Keep rocking!

LOUDMONKI responds:

thank you, sorry bout the yellow but i just like the power of a glowing yellow, almost like as if he became light itself without being white, buti did feel like yellow was too bright and barely noticable idk i just really wanted to finish it and put it on ng. there are allot of things i forgot to even put in the movie.
but again thank u

Nice sound quality, and the animation (what little there was) was well done. I wish there was a way to tell that the triangle in the middle was a play button. I sat in front of the screen for a minute before figuring out that I had to roll over it to see that it was INDEED a play button.

A background will make this piece look much more finished than it does now. Its good to have empty space for your viewer to lay their eyes on, but in this case there's just too much white.

Since Link has the same animation loop every time he brings something up over his head, the focus isnt actually on link, its on the items he's finding. Try to make them each a little more interesting. Thy could animate a little more, or each one could do something special before dissappearing from the screen. Without that diversity in each scene it gets a little mundane just watching Link bend down and pick something up.

Its great that you had a good time animating this- thats what this is supposed to be about; having fun. You obviously have illustration skills, so keep up the good work, and dont be afraid to go outside of your comfort level. Thats when you end up making something spectacular.

midnafan1 responds:

Interesting. You just gave me some ideas. ;) I might be able to add some cause-and-effect animations to this to help bring it together. I'll maybe have the bomb explode in Links face. Or something along those lines. Or when he gets the rupee, his wallet icon comes on screen and adds the amount to his total.

Thanks a bunch. I appreciate the feedback and the spark of new ideas. =D

I dont understand. But it was nicely animated, and for that I applaude you. Can't wait to see it finished.

I found the overall animation very drab, and boring. However it looks as if you spent a lot of time on this. You took the time to create a song, and focused on a story within the animation, which is more than what I've seen other artists do. I think with a little bit of practice you could really start to animate better. Making a story with no dialogue is somewhat difficult, but you managed to pull it off to some extent. I'd be interested in seeing how you progress from here.

Overall not anything particularly amazing, but your efforts show. I look forward to seeing what you do in future submissions. keep rocking.

Gosh you get so many comments but I was wondering, do you animate eerything on the stage? or do you take the characters and animate them in the library? Your work is beautiful What an amazing job. I hope to see something more soon!

If I had rated this on personal preference I would have given it a 2 because it creeped me the hell out. However, it was well animated, and since I had such a strong reaction to your style, I rated 4. You have your own style and that definitley shows. Keep up the good work.

Even though it was short it was still fun to watch. I wish you had made your stage a little bigger, and that it was a bit longer; but thats personal preference and not so much a critique. Great job.

RebellionFA responds:

yeah i agree with you that the stage should have been longer.But I only copied the movements of the dance from the anime.And Tnx

Just trying to be better than I was in 2012.
