[Two Minutes Of Terror Ep3]

its alright

i think i like the concept of these a lot more than the execution - a collection of 3 2-minute horror stories that all tie into each other yet involve a different antagonist and one main connecting feature (the characters' phones).

However, the mystery and suspense is constantly shattered by the narration of the lead character and their 'stock' way of just submitting to their eventual killer. there's little struggle or conflict, they just sort of give up and die.

i just think its a little too blunt for a horror - we see everything that happens as it is, with little left to the imagination. there's no mystery apart from the questionable origins of the plant and the house.

i think the plant monster would have been much more terrifying if it was mostly covered in shadow - adding to the "oh my god what the fuck is this thing" factor.

graphics were decent and the sound was well done too

props for trying with the whole horror genre because its a really fucking hard thing to do right.

[Other Side of Paradise]

jester was awesome

to say this is for an 'intro' to 2D its very well done. could have done with more animation and shading, but its fine for two weeks work. i love shit that syncs up well with the music being played

good job keep it up B)

[Gravitaxis ++]

nice

its nice to see you're still making cartoons, i used to love your stuff as far back as 2004

i cant help but feel that some shading would have made this flash look fucking amazing though

nice concept and you synced everything up really well too

[//Necropolis Xenophobe]

jazza

the music choices were fucking great and your direction in some scenes were superb.

sometimes the movements were kinda off-putting and illogical, they lacked a lot of bounce and weight in parts. Still its nice to see you've finished something so ambitious off. kiara's voice gets a 10 for being british

the main thing is i'm not sure if many people will be able to follow the plot too well. the blue haired elixir guy for example is never established to be some sort of psychic magic superbeing and then BAM as soon as we hit the fight scene he gets all telekinetic on our ass

what i loved most was probably the colour choices in all the scenes after evolve corps' intro, they were nicely picked and the characters never clashed or melted into the background (most of which were nicely done, others seemed rushed).

also the knife fight was fuckin sick B)

[Making A Piranha Plant]

fffffffffff

the sculpture was fucking badass, i loved the effect you got for its teeth

but like one of the VF bros. said, it just feels like a slideshow of pictures to me - and that's because its just a tweened series of photos lmao. maybe this would fare better in the art portal.

as a movie this just isnt doing it for me. loved the piranha plant itself though, good job

[URG advertisement]

haha

that was some fun, if short stuff

i cant help but notice that you two guys' work is starting to look like nogfish's though

It'll hopefully end sometime, but right now I can't help it sort of...

[Misinterpretive Porn Star]

sexy

i've always loved the 'cheesy' factor of your cartoons (especially CNT and watchmen) but everything in this i could see coming a mile away. Maybe if you hadn't already given away the fact that he was a misinterpretive porn star the little punchlines would have been much funnier. also, the 'lolrandom' ending felt like a bit of a copout (it could have been worse though).

the animation however was fucking great as usual, you really do breathe some life into your characters.

[Puzzle Shoes]

piece of da puzzle

lmao this is fucking awesome, a few pacing issues here and there but i loved it

[Alfred Christ]

smite

lmfao this is the best thing done with calvin harris's electo beats ever

i love the animation that syncs up with the 'pyew pyew' part

[Castle Crasher]

woah

swords and shields holy fuck i betta buy this game!!!!

UneducatedChimp responds:

this is only my 2nd flash (my first being a bouncing ball) and am still new to flash and everything. I admit that sucks really bad, but as some people say Rome wasn't built in a day ( this was made in like 2 hours of being really bored). The real reason to post this was to see if people liked how I drew the character and I was making it up while I was making it.
