[Living Cum]

Funny idea.

Show, don't tell. Showing the masturbator's horrified or guilty reaction would have been way funnier than just saying "This is how to feel... Just Kidding!"

I like the way you animated the cum. The technique has potential.

Keep it up!

artistunknown responds:

Mmm, yeah, good point. I felt like presenting it as a fake anti-masturbation PSA though, so the text was more fitting. Now that I think about it though, showing the masturbator's reaction AND having the text would have also worked.

Also, I still showed instead of told, at least when it came to conveying the story of the cartoon. Well, what little story there was anyways. Pretty much nothing about what happens is actually explained in the cartoon, there's only an explanation if you read the short description :p.

And yeah, it was fun making the cum look more like cum. Was easy too, I just painted white blobs in flash as the base animation and then went into photoshop and erased bits of the white with a soft eraiser, resulting in that look. Unfortunately, this method involved having to re-import the frames back into flash, and flash couldn't handle importing 200+ images, so I had to compile the animation AGAIN in sony vegas. A few hours were wasted trying to import the images into flash, but other than that, this was fun to work on and everything went smoothly.

Thanks for the review!

[Love potion]

Funny idea, but it would have had more punch if you ended on "You are so brave!" Hanging around after the punchline is an easy way to kill a joke.

The drawing is pretty good, but the level of detail makes the lack of arms creepy (in a distracting, unnecessary way). It's also hard to read when they are reaching for things and interacting.

Good effort, though. Keep it up.

[Sublo & Tangy Mustard #2 - Mascot Melee]

Excellent. I really enjoyed both episodes of this series. You have a great understanding of writing, animation & character. You fit a 22 minute episode of a TV show into 2:20. Impressive :)

[TekkoI]

Fantastic work, especially for 7 hours. It's funny, well staged and actually has moral of sorts (whether intentional or not). Did you plan it out/write/storyboard ahead of time, or did you make it all up on the fly?

aap responds:

Made everything up as I animated along. Planning takes too much time. :) Thanks!

[Fantastic Plastic]

Fun, interesting story that was able to keep my attention for 11 minutes (hard to do on the internet). Reminded me of Bill Plympton, Ren & Stimpy and a bit of Triplets of Belleville. Constant motion like this can be unappealing a lot of the time, and hard to follow, but everything HERE lends itself to the overall story, and comes into play in one way or another. The entire concept is really bizarre, but still makes some amount of sense at the end. Also, even though it's off-the-wall crazy, each character is easily readable, even when they don't talk. Great job.

[Let's Play Fallout 4 | Root & Digby]

Really cute, appealing animation. I like the characters a lot. Definitely one of the best December shorts!

[A Friendly Bank Robbery]

Pretty Good! The visuals, sound effects and pacing could use work, and the ending was a bit of a let down, but I really liked the story and concept, which are the most important parts. Keep it up!

[Norman the Crazy Mormon]

Awesome work. I saw this in the Channel Frederator forums a couple weeks ago but I guess I forgot to subscribe on Youtube. Just did.

You should keep working on this style it's really good so far.

[|~Snow Snow For Lucy~|]

My inspiration

I am working on a huge project (I got picked up by a professional, so I'm under horrible pressure), and having great trouble with it. I've doubted myself a lot and had trouble finding the "perfect" style for it.

I was about to give up trying to figure it out, when I saw your movie, Snow, Snow for Lucy. It was so beautiful and well done It inspired me to keep going. I'm still having problems, but I realized I don't have to be so hard on myself for me to keep going.

Thank you very much, and I would be willing to help you out with anything in the future, if you needed help.

[Heterodimensional Lovers]

I gave it a 3 because it stopped working

I LOVED IT until it stopped playing.

Very funny with the glue joke and the whole premise, and pretty good for your first NG flash

The animation was no worse than southpark, and I especially loved the part where he turned his head to kiss the drawing. very good animation there. You have my permission to bug me by Private message when you make a new one lol

Keep it up!

dogsinthecathouse responds:

thanks, I happen to be a huge South Park fan, so I'll take that comment on the animation as a compliment! :-)
I need to figure out how to keep it from freezing. Feel free to send me a P.M. giving me tips on how I could fix the problem
