[Dem Parodeez - 2]

Could use some work

Well it was kind of funny but it can't really be considered a funny parody unless the user is able to watch, follow, and be able to understand what is going on here. I didn't seem to understand much aside from Dhalsim was jealous of not being chosen so he comes out beats Ryu using his select screen icon which is weird.

Animation seemed to be pretty sad actually. There was Dhalsim who had a sprite at one point and mouths were also moving sometimes but it is largely lacking with people moving and background which kind of makes it a bit bad. Possibly put more effort in and work on it rather than rushing and I am sure it could win a daily spot on the front page.

The voice acting was pretty humorous anyways since it was one guy just making up a completely random story of what happened one day in Street Fight for some reason. Still makes little sense and at some parts they could speak up a little louder too.

Overall, just need some time, paitence, and willingness to make sure that you think its truly funny before submitting. Not too bad though, slightly funny to me.

haha thanks!

funny story, this was on front page

[The Sugar Claws: Iiii-vii]

Creative as usual

Well I find the art style has remained unchanged as has the music. They are both still great though so that is good to know. How long do you spend drawing each frame anyways?

The story seems to have thicken. The innocent rabbit she had killed from before is an endangered species. Quite a plot twist that is. That and she is trying to keep the fact that she killed it a secret for now as well. Wonder what will be happening to her next.

Overall, the plot has thickened.

The time spent on the artwork depends, anywhere between one hour, to four hours per panel.
Back when I was working on "Cooljaw" the drawings would be finished in like 10 minutes LOL.

Thanks for the review!

[Brony Appreciation day]

Could use some work

Was expecting it to be a bit cooler but it's kind of a let down that it turned out the way it did. I think one of the minor mistakes made was having Rainbow Dash in there three times, could have drawn the other two as two other ponies I think. As for Pinkie Pie I expect her to defy gravity anyways since she just naturally does it well. Who was the guy standing there?

The animation was alright I guess. Was expecting it to be a bit longer then leading up that that loop instead and such. The characters looked very quickly drawn which could have been one of the few problems here on this short little loop. The background still looked pretty simple and good though. Would have been cool if Luna, Derpy, and Celestia had been put in the background though.

The song was pretty cool anyways. Nice to see it was a remix of Avast Fluttershy's Ass but also sad that I did not find her anywhere in the back either. Also cool use of the line from Pinkie Pie at the start too.

Overall, I think this could have been a bit longer and a little better presented actually, it's not totally bad but it still needs some minor improvements made to it before it would be a great piece. Nice work though, liked it anyways.

Markanime responds:

I didn't spend so much time for this, only one day, anyway thanks for your review

[The Animating Process]

Writer's block

I guess sometimes in animating in making a flash or game it can feel that way as you spend several minutes to hours trying think of a plot for a brand new idea for a flash. then it tends to hit you when you least expect it and you get the motivation to work on a new flash project.

The animation seems a bit cheesy but I think that is how come it also turned out quite nicely as well since it seemed to be mocking the way flash looks a bit too which I found humorous. The last humorous part of this flash is it is an endless loop meaning the cow will have that one Mountain Dew forever.

I think the choice in music here was nice. Kind of made me think of some old Peanut cartoons as well. Nice choice in music.

Not too much of a storyline here aside from the author simply trying to think of something for a new flash is all.

Overall, nice loop, funny.

Thanks for the review, sir.

[The Sugar Claws: III-VII]

Further down the rabbit hole

This is still bizarre anyways. If she has a school she attends then there should be a store nearby? Why can't she go there instead of killing animals or does her father shun that?

The animation is nice as always since it just tends to be shades of pink providing the imagery of the story as always. The music used was rather nice and calm as usual too. The story seems to thicken with every piece made. Wonder why Maple is getting sadder in every one?

This time around she just seemed a bit demented in killing the rabbit.

Overall, further down the road in a strange story.

Review Request Club

Celx-Requin responds:

Maple isn't getting sadder only more stressed, it would take too much time for her to buy food, plus she has no money of her own, remember she's doing all of this in secret.

She has a hatred for rabbits, and the reason is explained in subtext as the story progresses.

Thanks,

[Sir Henry Studios Intro]

Wonderful intro

However if you only plan to use this for small 5-10 minute flashes then it should possibly be compressed a bit to save up on size unless you can get Tom to raise the bar for how big your flash can be. If you plan to have an intro looking this good then you will need the rest to be this good since going from 3D intro to flat 2D flash format just looks bad in most cases.

The animation was pretty cool though and considering it was done in 3D it probably took a few days right? The grass, tree, and logo in background were quite nice. What was the creature walking around for anyways?

The sounds used were quite fitting so I have no issues there except for when it raised its head back for a moment and you hear bird chirping for a moment. Then for some reason it seems as though a few frames got skipped since it's head doesn't lay back down or even fall down, it is just back down without a motion of it falling.

Overall, fancy, needs to be compressed a bit is all.

sirhenrystudios responds:

thanks, yea this was kid've a prototype, it will be recreated so I can make it smaller, better and more to the point. AS for the head falling part, it's supposed to be exaggerated, My animation style is heavily inspired by older style animation with extremely exaggerated characters and movements. All in all a very suitable and thorough review, thanks.

[Cat Vader 2]

Still funny

I remember seeing the first one a couple of years back as well thinking it was funny. Liked how it looked at the start, the cat jumping onto the spider looked a bit more realistic actually so that seemed a bit better to me as well.

The voice acting was nicely solid for the cat. Who did the voice for the neighbor cat? The human sounded rather civil and kind to Vader until Vader tried to steal some of his food.

The animation looked quite nice so that was rather pleasing to watch once more. Vader is one funny cat. How did he ever end up having to have a mask on his face?

Overall, good humor for a cat in a flash.

koit responds:

Thanks for your review. Glad you liked his antics.

[Ogre & The Witch]

Interesting

I found this to be rather short but you did a really good job considering it looks like you just used color pencils, not sure if you used crayons either. Really short but it was still corny and clever I think. Experimental and funny.

The animation was nice since it was drawn from scratch on paper too. Do not see those or claymations too often either. The chest and one eyed ogre were cool while the witch and wizard at end stuck to the stereotyped looks which is nice to see since now in modern books and such they aren't stuck to a stereotype anymore which is good as well.

The voice acting was rather solid on this so I was happy to see some of that come in here. Not sure what the witch said half the time and I recognized just one spell from Harry Potter and that was about it. Funny how the ogre locked part of itself in the chest and returned to the cave after killing the witch with her pot.

Overall, probably took a bit of time but it turned out well so nice work there. Looking forward to future pieces as well.

Ty very much ^^ This did take A LOT of time... and I used mostly PASTELS, with a bit of crayon ;) I did the voice acting lol :P had to get right into it hehe. and yea i just went with what felt natural during the entire production. Thanks for the review, really reviews like this is what keeps me working :)

[Pico's Penny Prank]

Funny

I found this to be a very short yet funny piece as well. The use of sound effects was good. Kind of laughed a bit when the kid was almost run over when he tried to pick up the penny. Also nice use of anime physics I suppose since I doubt a vehicle running over a penny or any kind of coin glued to the ground would get it to come off the ground. Then again in cartoons anything is possible to do right?

The animation here was nicely done anyways. Kind of could have been a bit funny if the kid swore or something when he hurt his foot kicking the penny or made grunt sounds picking it up.

Overall, very nice, if I had anything to whine about here is that it is kind of short delivered you know? Then again I have no idea how long you spent on this so it could have been time constraints right?

ToonCastleTV responds:

Well bud, it started off with my doing the keys traditionally, tracing them on flash, and filling them in and doing the backgrounds and production. Oh,and not 2 mention a whole week was spent on the beginning background. Due to time constraints this was the best thing I could do, and I finished this on 5 oclock picoday. I AM going to add more blood/length to it,and grunting sounds would fit perfect ;)

thanks !
OH
and YES!!!
IT'S ANIMATION- ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE

[The Sugar Claws: II-VII]

Still good so far

Also kind of funny how it covers five chapters here. Enjoyed the speech bubbles since I read them well. As for the extra fancy hand writing it took me a moment or two to read a few of the words but I was able to read them quite well anyways.

The storyline seems strange but good still. She gets a home in her new area and her father seems a bit mean but nice. Funny how that plant is called a cat too. Different name for things I suppose.

The drawings were nicely detailed. As usual I still enjoyed the minimal use of colors and simply sticking to shades and tints of one color to paint the characters and things in this series.

Overall, good work here.

Celx-Requin responds:

Working with color is difficult :(
