Here is its eulogy, a collection of the kind words written about it while still among the living. They shall live on forever in its place.

*UPDATE* Hundreds I mean literally hundreds of people are asking me about the music. The most common question is, who made them? It says on the credits... The holiday OST by Hans Zimmer.....
The songs used:
"Anything can Happen"
"Cry"
"Maestro"

*Warning. This is graphic heavy. Medium Quality is recommended... and flash 8 player*

Yeah I know, you guys haven't seen me do stuff for over a year now... Most of my stuff usually goes on other forums and my DeviantArt page.

Don't expect too much of this one, it does not have any complex full frame by frame animation like my On Your Mark p.1 for example. It's more supposed to be more of an emotional/moody experience, rather than having an all crazy action here and there footage.

This is based on an online comic from DeviantArt, simply called the "Balloon comic" by Emmy Cicierega!

Her comic style is hard to imitate for me in my opinion. I did the first 3 pages, but overall, I screwed up the designs. You can read the rest of the story here and see how it ends, its a great read.

Animation by me

AMAZING! You captured the comic very well, and the music fit perfectly! The crow was really hilarious!
But I do wonder if you're going to do the rest of it? If you're not, that's just as fine-But THANKS for doing this version!

That was very good! It's the "little things" that help the great artists stand-out from the good ones. People focus a lot of attention on their fore-ground subjects/characters, but they sometimes fail to realize how much awesome backgrounds can help contribute tons to the work. Also, the style of art, like your faux watercolor style, subconciously adds to the overall quality and beauty. Your backgrounds were simply amazing...amazing! The story and music went very well together, the expressions on the characters were very good and emotive, and the animation was very good. There was some definite professionalism here. A labor of love made for the joy of it, rather than just cranking something out for the pats on the back. Great job!

that was a cute little story, but, everyone is treating it like some sort of masterpiece.
anyways, that still was a nice piece of work. good job.
P.S i didn't know that water dragons liked potato chips so much.......

it was a little short, but hey none the less it was awesome and i loved the music :)

good detail but i dident like the story but the water dragon thing was cool
