Newgrounds.com — Everything, By Everyone.

Thank you guys for all of your reviews so far! I never expected to make it to frontpage with my first submission!
Anyways, for everyone not able to view the credits at the start: The music is from Crono Cross; Time's Scar.

------------------------

This is a small story about how a couple got seperated from each other and died in solitude, but gained a second chance when they became the spirits residing over sound: the Echo.

It is actually my first handdrawn animation. I wanted to do something more artistic, and being partly inspired by Okami, this is what I came up with. It is my third piece with a certain type of spirit as the main subject, but since the others are all just drawings, you will have to visit my devart to view them:

I was doubting whether or not to submit this on Newgrounds, and decided I should do it. I worked on it for 4 weeks, and finished it approximately 2 months ago. Anyways, even though there is no violence or whatever in it, I hope you guys still like it.

"wow that was cool"

I definitely see Okami in it. That was really good too--i like the brush technique and everything. I'm only in the middle of my first Okami playthrough, and I understand why it's so great (i didn't have a system that the game was on) anyway, awesome job!

"Okami-Inspired Animation is Epic!"

After beating the game twice, I feel amazed by the animation. It probably took you days getting the brush work right. It feels artistic and the colors were just right. You better make more flash animations to make Amaterasu happy :D

I've seen some good flash animations in my time and I have to say this one touched me deeply. It has obvious talent behind it and the music suited it perfectly. Kudos to you friend... heres a 10 since there isnt an 11.
