[Bugged Out]

great job man! your 3d sense is really strong and your storytelling is great! the animation could be timed/composed better at parts but for the most part it's really well done!

some things I noticed were when the spider first waved the motion of the wave was evenly timed where as it should probably be darting back and forth with eases on the ends of the arc. also, when the vase was tilting both in the horizontal and the circular motions it wasn't fully believable. when it rocked horizontally it seemed to bend instead of tilt back and forth and while the circular motion was drawn well it was titled a little too far outwards.

hope that helps!

Thunder28X responds:

Thanks man! I keep those details in mind for next time!

[Token Taker]

Great art but it would have been better as a gif. As a gif i give it 4/5.

[Edgy Stuff]

Title sequence is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too long. I almost just clicked out of it.

The animation was extremely lazy and the frame rate was super low at some parts. All of the actions only had one or two frames and you'd loop them doing things that didn't really make sense.

The art style could be cool but it's really inconsistent and the colors are uncomfortable. The only redeeming quality is the drawings are decent.

I'd go learn the fundamentals of animation and motion.

sadsorcer responds:

I get it. Thank you for response.

[first beet of the year part 2]

The animation and art is really cool for the most part but the line quality and a few of the drawings are kind of sloppy at times. Also, while the color schemes are really cool and work well in some parts in some parts they don't work at all.

Good job!

bimshwel responds:

I draw in a somewhat painting sort of way which Flash doesn't like. I mean this to be my last project with Flash since I cannot seem to exceed this quality level with it. Line consistency has never been my strength but it is worst in Flash, due in part to things coming out totally different based on the zoom level. Thank you for watching! I am curious which color schemes you thought were least tolerable.

[Talk to Me]

Beautiful animation and art!

LaleyWasHere responds:

Thank you! :3

[LOVE THE MOOCHERS Paid Programming C.T.M. (CLOSE THAT MOUTH)]

Hahahaha nice job man! I would just add some in-betweens for the animation to smooth it out.

softcactusfilms responds:

Wow I'd love to work with you! Many Thanks for the constructive criticism. What's your email?

[Nezni Dalibor - Zauvek]

Gorgeous.

DavorSopic responds:

Thank you very much! :)

[RULE-BREAKER]

Good shit man. Your animation and art style is very well developed! You pumped this out really quick after creepy clown time. I wouldn't use the gradient shading though it looks kind of cheap and doesn't really go with the rest of the art.

michaelgutierrez1017 responds:

Thanks.

[Norman and sho s1e1]

Not bad man theres a lot you could improve on though. Your biggest strength is that you're thinking a lot about shot composition and framing which is pretty good.

Your art style could be a lot cleaner though and I'd spend more time making a set of mouths for each sound that looks really clean so that lip synch is taken care of from the beginning since you're using a lot of it.

As far as shading I'd think about light source, which is going to usually by diagonally from above like the sun or a light in the room. Right now your shading looks like it's coming from the left or right.

Also you have a lot of lines intersecting things where they shouldn't you might wanna think about cleaning up. Also just using less heavy lines in general.

The voice acting could also use work.

Lastly I'd try to cut your next cartoon down about half the length. Even the title screen was there for about twice along as it needed to be.

Keep practicing!

KaboomAnimationz responds:

thanks for your tips i will try to fix up my animation :)

[An Alien Affair]

This is really dope! Concept and humor are great! Art and animation are great!

The only thing is BRO THIS IS SO OBVIOUSLY COPIED FROM RICK AND MORTY like come on it's super obvious.

The way the guy says "Kerry" after every sentence like how Rick says "Morty", the way the voice actor played him was in the same emotionality and cadence of Rick and you even made his pupils have the same shape at 2:25!

Why'd you do that?? it doesn't add any substance to the film and only detracts.

Would have given a 4.5/5 or 5/5 if it wasn't for that.

Good shit tho

TylerLandis responds:

Thanks man! His voice was definitely inspired by Rick, I didn't realize that would bother people so much! Rick and Morty was the first time I saw something on television and thought "Woah, this is like, my sense of humor! On TV!" which was a big moment for me, because I never thought my sense of humor would work on TV. I thought it was too weird. I just thought for this cartoon it would be fun to use a voice similar to Rick's for Dan's character, and that it'd be a fun little reference to a show I love. I can see the newgrounds community is not of a similar mind haha
