Pretty good!

I made a cartoon like this once..

PIED3 responds:

Thanks!

Shockingly terrible

I honestly cannot empathise with people who enjoy this at all, or understand why it is so highly rated (oh wait... it's based around video games)
The visuals were appalling with no apparent set style used (you constantly mingle pen, pencil, thin lines, thick lines, etc, even on the same character! Not to mention the random interchangable versions of stick figures you used).
The background and set were both a random mish-mash of shapes and colours, giving the scene no structure whatsoever.
Voices were annoying. Script felt like a 12-year-old's webcomic from 2002.
Overall: messy, lazy, holding no element of design or style. Features hideously unoriginal concept. It's kind of sad that people will continue to settle for the same old thing year after year.
If you are happy with this and consider its reception on NG any kind of hint as to your skill level or guaranteed success, put it all into perspective and reconsider.
This is all the constructive criticism I can give; I'm being so harsh because from what I gather you regard yourself a genius in this field and are confident that you can do a whole lot better!

RubberNinja responds:

Fair call, to which I totally agree. I was already complaining about the score on a recent Newgrounds blog post, it is rather ridiculous. But as we both know, no artist as control over what the public vote. As to it being about video games.. Well I don't think my employers over at the "Video Games Review Show" would have been to happy about me making an animation about the industrial revolution. So give or take, I really didn't have a choice over the general topic.

"and consider its reception on NG any kind of hint as to your skill level or guaranteed success, put it all into perspective and reconsider."

Well I believe to an extent I'm not happy with this level of animation. Like I did state in the authors comments, this was of course stuck together under extreme time constraints for the show.

"you constantly mingle pen, pencil, thin lines, thick lines, etc, even on the same character!"

It's all paintbrush Tommy. Just some of it is more smoothly defined then other parts (mainly the re-used symbols). Admittedly the picky things you pointed out, were in fact me doing a rush job to meet deadlines. No denying that.

"The background and set were both a random mish-mash of shapes and colours, giving the scene no structure whatsoever."

I agree. But it's a bit late for that now.. I finished animating all of these back in June. In the "interview format break-away", I'm spending a lot of time on the backgrounds.. Trying to get them looking as structured as possible.

"I'm being so harsh because from what I gather you regard yourself a genius in this field and are confident that you can do a whole lot better!"

I wouldn't say I'm in any way a genius of any sorts, but yes.. I do believe I'm capable of a lot better, given the appropriate time frame. And I must sincerely thank you for this review. It's comments like these that do in fact motivate me to better myself. Unlike other artists, who are generally just scared away with these comments.

Thanks Tommy. Appreciated.

very good

i liked how the ending was unpredictable. nice drawings and storyline, good job!

Foxcato responds:

Thanks Pillow...:)

Good good

Nice whatever movie, a few bits look like mine, such as the beginning 5 - 1 countdown. Good job anyway, I like your style :)

freak-show7 responds:

Wow i got review by you. I saw your WHATEVER vid , awhile back and that is sort of why i made one , it is abit little your one , but on purpose. Anyway thanks, for the review and hope you enjoyed it!

Brilliant

Pure genius.

Da-Dinictus responds:

You're better. You just get to submitting that music video! ^_^

good idea

Nice stuff, though I don't approve of killing Locks..

bgryderclock responds:

we made this just before YOU ended the war <3

Looks really good

You should finish it before submitting it, and it would get a nice score.

Bezman responds:

Thanks for the nice review and the encouragement. :)

I was really discouraged by the low score... hopefully you're right. The thing I'm worried about is that it doesn't have a story as such so completing it might not improve the score that much.

It's just a thing supposed to be about someone improving their drawing of stickmen.

Well, I'll finish it in a few weeks' time and hopefully you'll be right about it being better recieved. :)

Stay funky,
Bez
