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.

Very good, keep up the great work.

MARUSHIRU :P

Nicely done. The soundtrack works perfectly and creates a nice soft mood for the film. Did you have trouble making the glowing edges to the characters? I've considered that effect for a film of mine but found that the gradients severely hampered the playback speed. But you seemed to make it work. Great Film for a great comic!

This reminds me of the epic anime series. This could easily be made into a two hour feature film. I hope to see you continue your work. I loved the wind blown hair and your drawing style.

i love it. Nice colours, and the style was brilliant.

I liked the emotion you put into it with the music fitting well too, and the bird made me laugh :]

Feel good stuff.. i hope this gets into the top50

very nice, wonderful music, the lighting at the beginning sounded very good, the story was interesting, I like the dragon being fed a bag of chips :P
