thanks dadwarlus

[Words of wisdom: chugga]

So, you kinda just animated a nerd talking to the screen.
He mentions that he's trying to catch a Moltres, but that's never shown.
just a dude talking to the screen, moving his arms a little.
In this case, the animation didn't add anything to the audio clip, and to be completely honest, I think the audio clip is funnier on it's own.

Horsenwelles responds:

the premise is to animate the letsplayer's quote. its basicially a reaction shot, and its not specificially supposed to add to the clip besides the visual representation of it.

i know defending such a hollow premise is pointless, but it is the point of the series, and in terms of what it is, people outside NG seem to like it (youtube and DA) because it is in a context they understand and appreciate.

thank you for your opinion though =)

[TOME Episode 01]

It's time you choose ONE thing to specialise in.

Honestly, if you're gonna try this hard to make it look like a machinima, why not just make an actual machinima? I really think that's just a convenient excuse to poop out super lazy content. You say you're doing it this way to focus more on the story, but the story is just... pointless. Why did the guy with the red hair need that power? The very first scene establishes that he's a competent fighter. I can tell you'll retort with something to the effect of "Because THEY couldn't beat the hackers". If they as a group couldn't handle it, why would only one character gain these abilities? It really is just bad pretty much all around. The art isn't engaging, the characters are all minor variations of eachother, and watching it made me feel like a fucking idiot. Please let this sink in: the humour was intended to be so accessible for young kids, that there isn't anything left for older ages to enjoy-- I actually felt stupid while watching this, it's insulting. Please hire a new writer, You've managed to show me time and time again that you many be impressive to all the little middle-school kids who frequent this site, but your writing/dialogue/concepts are very under-developed. And from what I can tell, you're just not in a place to be writing. Like, this is a reboot of some shit you made years ago, right? I've noticed that less capable writers latch onto the stories they created in their youth, because that's probably the high-point of their imaginativeness, and ingenuity. Further proof of this, is how many parodies you do. It's like you're totally incapable/unwilling to use your own intellectual property. If you think about it, this is a parody/tribute/expansion to that older series, and even with this being the most original thing you've ever produced, it's still pretty cliché in not only the premise, but also in the characters and the plot. I honestly, truly, sincerely think you need to pick ONE aspect of creating content, rather than being kinda bad at everything. You lack focus.

2/10, because I feel the co-authors shouldn't be lumped together with your naivety.

[Digital Art SFX Tutorial]

Thank you so much!

I added this to my favorites so I can refer to it later ;D
I like you style of teaching, it's very easy to follow.

[FF Kingdom Hearts: Ep. 3]

I like this...

But its so untrue to the series. Roxas has no heart. It would be cool i if had nothing to do with kh.

[Block Tetris]

meh

the concept is interesting but its quite slow paced and unrewarding. You at least could have added some music

[Bwuah]

I'm addicted to that wibbly wobbly bass line in the beginning

[The Clock At Night]

Shit.
I really like this a lot.

[My Name is Tom]

It's too bad nobody gets it.

[Portrait]

awesome, dude! I'm seeing a lot of personality show through :D
One thing I can suggest is that even if one eye is farther away from the viewer they're still so close together that it won't really get smaller vertically, just horizontally.
And since you mentioned the hair don't be afraid to have locks of hair come away from the silhouette of the head, at the top its one smooth line but following the direction of her locks of hair you can add more volume :0
I hope that all makes sense I don't normally give critiques because it's so pushy to throw my opinion at ppl lmao
anyway lemme know if I need to explain anything better!

Greebs responds:

alright, i see, thank you for the advice! :D

[Willow Wood cover illustration]

You showed THEM what's what!
I can only imagine what the hair might look like with super detailed shading
