Daily 3rd Place! Wow! Thanks everyone for the votes and views and reviews! And the TROPHY! Whoo! *dances slightly*

We started this series back in late November and have concentrated almost all of our time into designing the world, characters, voice talents, picking the right music, adjusting volume levels, animation quality, and story development. So we hope this flash is as special to you, the viewers, as it is to us.

Mark of the Beast Snacks

Episode 1 : Dreams of Beyond

Two young boys have always wanted to leave the confines of their village, however it is surrounded by a magic barrier that they cannot pass... However, with the sighting of a strange talking beast and the calamity in the skies, they might just get their chance at adventure...

We would like to thank all the test viewers and people that helped us along the way in getting this series up off the ground and making it a reality. We'd like to thank our girlfriends for sleeping all alone because we were up tirelessly working and pushing toward perfection and utilizing our skills to their full potential. There is always room to grow, but I am unashamed to say that this is our first flash that I feel we poured everything we have into.

About the upcoming Episode 2 : We already have the full script and story line and even the basic outline for Episode 3 and are currently working on the animation and voice acting process for Episode 2. We'll have it launched as soon as we feel it has gone beyond what we have accomplished here for Episode 1.. As they say, practice makes perfect.

Enjoy the flash and let us know what you think.

We hope you enjoy,

Nathan Gibson and Steve Garnett

Unexpectedly Rad!

That was so tongue-in-cheek over the top! Entertainment for the whole run. Bonus points for all the 2d fighter references, esp. Ryu's SFII music!

Cannot wait for the next installment :D

Thanks a ton! Exactly what we were going for! It's so nice to see people who understand our goal and see the cartoon for what we intended! We'll see you back for episode 2 which is in production NOW!

I loved it!

Great job! Good animation. good story, and funny dialog. One star off just because the animation could use some polishing.


tacobuttfish responds:

I agree. Now that I'm a bit over a minute in on Episode 2, I can see a few things I should have done differently with the animation in this episode. By far, this is our best work, but there's always room for improvement! Thanks for the constructive criticism and we'll see you back here for episode 2!

Honest Review

That was a great start of a cartoon! Very original . I can say so many great things and how much potential this really has.
The art style was unique -
The animation was a little choppy at times but that can be fixed
The frame by frame was great

The only problem I have with this was the humor. The Sudoku joke was funny, but I just don't think it fit this story. I think this should be a story with witty catch phrases , not all about jokes - because frankly this has a great storyline and I would like to know what happens next without it goofing off too much and wasting an entire episode on something that no one wants to hear.

Otherwise great job, cannot wait until episode 2!
