[Birthday 21]

:D I turn 21 next month!!!

^ - ^

Oh Yotam, the sufferings of artists are very common, yet each of us suffer with it uniquely.
When people say "OH I WISH I WAS AN ARTIST, TOO" don't you wish you could just punch them in the face?
Anyway.
Lovely little tune, smooth animation as yewsueal.
Can't say much more than that. Loved it :D

[Drawing Tutorial: Female]

You must have gotten better since this

So I won't say much.

While I enjoyed the facial features and structure of the face, those hips ( yes I realize everyone has their own style but still)
You cannot teach people to draw hips that small, especially in a tutorial. As a matter of anatomy, womens' hips are much wider and larger, to accommodate for the birthing process. So they should be IDEALLY the same size as the circumference of the breast area, ever hear "36 24 36". It's called an hourglass, and makes for a much sexier character than someone who looks borderline paraplegic and malnourished. It's unbalanced. of course you have to also think of the internal organs, are they all in her ass or chest? She looks like she's been wearing a corset. Unless that's what youre trying to convey....

Sorry for ranting, but people should REALLY know better about anatomy if theyre trying to TEACH it.

[Demo Reel 2011]

T _T

You didnt even tell me this was coming out.

Your stuff looks great, I'm so happy you have the time to animate, everything you do makes you fantastically better each time.

I'm just at a standstill. No time, no motivation to animate; now that I don't have you guys anymore.

Keep fighting for your dreams, you are extraordinary, Jeinu

[: Germaine Returns :]

improvement has never really been your goal,

Has it?

All I see when I watch these are simple, underwhelming animations ( Please realize artists can tell when other artists are afraid to draw arms and hands) just copy paste from a "Pose" and lipsynch set that you most likely use for every single flash you make.

Foamy has become more of a de-motivator for Germaine ( who I cannot stand watching anymore) rather than his own being, who I used to love watching.

Please, have that bitch as a side character, instead of the other way around. LIKE IT USED TO BE.

Germaine used to be just a generic goth chick, who Foamy would rip on because of her shitty art and sense of "darknessd" which I really enjoyed watching.

Come up with some more rants, they were your strongsuit.

[Mr. Literal]

Pretty fantastic

Your animation style is certainly getting off the ground.. well that is to say, it's getting much better. Keep this kind of dedication up, along with original ideas like this ( ie: not video game related). It's quite good.

[Coming Soon...]

All I can say is; Meh.

Honestly, it didn't really catch my interest, there was no organization, music was bland, too many cliches. It started out really good, but like a boner, after about 20 seconds it threw up and went limp.

Lots of love.

MrScriblam responds:

the whole thing was cliches that is the joke why does nobody get this????

[Nicolas Cage Wants Cake]

God Dammit Harry.

This is way too catchy for its own good.

The clips of animation are fantastic and fluid, AS ALWAYS. You are obviously doing it RIGHT.

Am I one of the only people who got that sonic/pikachu mashup furry nerd reference?

[Tarboy]

Finally, something that deserves first place.

What blew me away, out of many things from this flash, were the particle, and attack effects. You certainly have an eye for it, and integrated it with the rest of the style perfectly.

Story was quite different. Which is refreshing. Hard to come across things that have more than a rudimentary idea of "Original content" on this website anymore. That ALONE deserves 10 stars.

I would really like to see a tutorial from you, how to do some of the effects presented, unless you want to keep that thing a secret. Either way, your choice.

Keep it up. Don't stop believing in your work!

[Asaroki 05- Diagnosis]

Good and Bad

You draw faces very well, and the hair was quite nicely shaded, but your grasp of proportions is way off. Spend a little bit more time perhaps fine-tuning your skills and anatomy.
There's one thing to want to draw in an anime style, but you have to be able to pull of more than just the neck up to make a series.

It's crucial.

I used to be terrible at drawing bodies, but I practiced and practiced and now... well I've still got work to do, but I'm getting there.

Another plus was the voices. Good casting, quite professional.

Don't rush yourself, this seems like a good series, and I look forward to your improvement-

Interesting

But it seems you got really lazy with a lot of it. Three weeks is a tight budget, I understand, but why limit yourself like that when you're trying such a big project.

Still pictures can convey a lot when animation time is limited, but why not expend a little effort into those, rather than just succumbing to laziness? A good dramatic still can speak volumes.

I'm not going to comment on the music, because anyone can find music.

Timing was... Okay.

But scribbling out stuff really makes a bad impression when you're trying to promote your original characters, and your favorite characters.

Good luck next time.
