I do believe that Newgrounds is 80% immature content and the rest is seriously art. I think there should be an even balance, close enough 50/50. This was decent. You put some time into your art. I have to admit I made immature art and it's good they got deleted. But, follow your heart.

very poetic

this was so nice, like a poem to read. There was not much animation. But i think the bit animation you used was enough to colour your wonderful poem.
The text you wrote was truely poetic, and thats why i liked it. This is real art...
Maybe you should become a poet or a short story author. :)

quite amazing work

Now this is quite amazing, a great work of art. The artwork is done nicely, the style fits the theme. The music ties into the story with perfect sync and the animation ran smoothly. Only it lacks a pre-loader and the voice sounds a little droning.

I wish that you would continue posting your work, this is the first time I got to see anything that you created. But you've made your decision and I respect that. I only hope that you continue with your art, keeping your talent fresh and to strengthen.

I say thanks for sharing this with us and that I hope to see more of your creations appear on NG.

...........Read please.

Art: Your drawings are decent. Your silhouette style is fitting for the theme. It could use much more detail though. Much more.

Animation: Nothing special, but it's not bad. It didn't have to be astonishing, so it worked for your movie. The foot bouncing off the water and the water's reaction was good. I'm assuming you did most of this frame by frame. Keep at it. The more you play with it, the better you will be. Please put a "Preloader" with your flash film. It's convenient for the audience. This way the movie can actually begin and end without playing by itself and constantly loop. It's annoying.

Style: Very good. Your transitions were excellent and flowed excellent with your art style.

Sound: The music was very fitting. Shading itself perfectly with your animation and your voice. Your voice was ok. Your intonations were mostly on par. Your mic quality was shoddy. I hope you can invest in a new microphone because your voice sounds nice. You should take advantage of it.

Overall - It's nothing special, but to be fair, it's nothing special to me. I bet it's special to you, since the film seems to have some sort of sentiment and reflection. As an audience though, it just a bit of bewilderment that has a negative affect. It feels too personal, which can be good, but in this case isn't. The end of the film was very abrupt. I hope you post more on NG. You have talent.

Note: I read your comment about people on this site being immature and rude. Yes, you are correct, but you're mostly going to find that everywhere. Newgrounds doesn't exactly promote itself as being a site for maturity. A giant portion of the NG staff are suckers for "cock jokes" (no pun intended) and so am I. Even so, creativity in all aspects whether it be cock jokes, personal reflection, or weird/strange exist here. Also, consider that you're a girl on a website that is populated by 90% males and most of them are teenagers. My suggestion is to post your work here regardless of unnecessary negative feedback.

Cheers!

Who are you talking about?

You shouldn't let other people's opinions discourage you from publicizing your work. Some will love it, others will hate it. That's the way of things. I read the comments for this post and I didn't see any that were immature. Those who didn't like it gave you explanations on what they didn't like.
I'm having a hard time figuring you out. This is your only submission yet you ranted about others having bashed your work on Newgrounds. Did you have other submission that you deleted?
Some of the immature people I encounter on Newgrounds often are the ones who can't handle criticism and take it personally.
