your first flash, right?
Well, I'm not gonna go easy on you just because of that. It's not very good, but it's still better than the majority, so you can be proud of that.
Besides, your new MGS toon made front page, which is awesome. How many people can say that? So if this submission gets flamed, just be like "my other one got fp'd....bitch."
-Big Red-
Oh boy. Cliched crap.
Hey look everyone. Its yet ANOTHER anime-styled cartoon about some goofy character being a lifeguard and helping some chick with oversized boobs. And they are both weird dragon-creatures with bulging crotches.
Just what the world needs to see.
This is sarcasm, by the way.
Get a more original concept and stop repeating an art form that Japan invented. Disgusting. Come up with your own style.
Are you fucking serious, mr.ZekeySpaceyLIZARD? So what's your character then? Wow, talk about hyprocites.
don't like it!!!
sorry this isn't my cup of tea i mean the characters are like what are they? are they animals or human or alien or goats? i mean they're drawn ok yeah but the slow motion effect needs some work. not that i have perfected a slow motion effect myself (although i've tried!!) but it just doesn't look right here.
for characters you should try making movies about these stars with faces of seven different colors going on adventures about punch and masturbation or something, that would be something every little boy and girl could enjoy regardless of animation skill.
yeah and the bitmap traced backgrounds are cool and all but only if you're making a gameboard about halo or something with an angry gray squirrel without a mouth or like i said a gameboard. dude you make me 3 gameboards i will give you so many like good scores you know your sheezy art bandwidth will totally overload and you'll have to like not go there anymore or something drastic like that.
has anything like this ever happened to you? ALL of this happened to me one day, yes it was October 7, 2005 when this exact scenario happened to me, i submitted some not-very funny but promising movie and next thing i knew like eight days later i found myself watching examples of the gameboard. trust me, there are LOTS of chances of loosing, it's very hard.
well ok your gameboard is a little sloppy, and it sounds as if you thrusted the mic down your thoat, but yeah you can do it eventually if you post in the Flash forum with actionscript questions or something i am sure you'd get totally honest answers and nothing to do with grinning pine trees wearing sneakers or anything similar to that, especially not anthromorphic fruits with timepieces, pistols and/or security measures for cyclops eyes.
Detestable
I found this flash devoid of humor, an eyesore, and reeking of laziness. I cannot imagine why it has the score it has. Actually, I can. Newgrounds is teeming with people who enjoy this trash. Anyways, I'll try to be constructive here. On to the review:
Graphics: I can see you have some artistic talent. Your drawings here, however unoriginal they are, display some skill. The main problem with the graphics was the laziness. It is painfully apparent that you took shortcuts in every way possible with this flash. First thing I notice is the traced-bitmap backgrounds. Using traced bitmaps sends tells me you were way too lazy to actually draw anything in the backgrounds, so you just searched for a picture on Google then used this nifty little tool in flash to make it look like you actually did some work. Essentially, you cheated. You may trick Newgrounds viewers with that but you lose immense amounts of respect from your fellow artists. Then there's the animation. Its immediately apparent how little work you want to do when I see a circle tweening across the screen that is supposed to represent a character. You only actually animated about 5 frames in here, then looped each one to make it look adequate. The rest was just tweens and traced bitmaps galore. The only work you did was the run animation, from the front and the side, and that looked painfully awkward.
Style: I seriously can't think of a style I despise more than furry art. Allow me to explain. Of course, furry art is done in anime style. Wow, never seen that one before! Before you draw anime, consider just how often the same tiresome style has been used. Don't you think it would be refreshing to try a new style? Wouldn't it enrich your works to bring some semblance of originality or creativity to them, instead of just going along with what everyone else is doing? Besides the anime, you've also drawn anthropomorphic characters here, customary in most "furry" cartoons. I feel this reflects a strange sexual fetish in your works and it certainly turns me off, even if it turns you and your friends on. If you want to be taken seriously as an artist, furry cartoons are definitely not the way to go, even if they aren't intended to be sexual.
Sound: Boring music, but it was the highlight of the flash. Why exactly did you use that song by The Who? It was completely and utterly pointless. The voice acting was just atrocious.
Violence: Dead lizard girl.
Interactivity: Your ugly preloader highlights the groin of your main character far too much for me not to question your sexuality.
Humor: It couldn't be further from funny. It might have been, had the delivery been better. But I think I got pretty thrown off on the storyline as soon as I saw circles tweening around the screen. Anyways, I have seen countless parodies of Baywatch. What makes yours any better? Is it the fact that a freakish anime hybrid of a man, a cat, and a blueberry is acting out the parody? Sorry, that doesn't do it for me. The gag at the end was stupid as well, mostly because of the utterly inappropriate music. The only reason I gave you a one in the humor is because you didn't include a busty anime kitty cat girl to pose as Pam Anderson. I most likely would have vomited if you had. Oh, and for the record, the mere appearance of David Hasselhoff in your flash is not humorous in any way, except to morons who giggle at any pop culture reference.
Overall: The kind of flash I hate. I'd like to see less of this, even though I know there is a fanbase for it. It perplexes me to no end how stuff like this becomes popular.
and
i spent way too fucking long on this review 54yuj45bbnfgnnjsdj
Yeah, as stated in my Sheezyart's description, I did take the "lazy" shortcut, because college work and deadlines were piling up onto me. And I can't do backgrounds pretty well, so my only option was to use a couple of photos I own. I don't really see what's bad about that though. Even when you've got a professional animation team, the background artists and the animator himself are mostly not always the same. Some lack talent here, and some lack talent there.
I used the song by the Who, because its pretty obvious. Its the theme tune to the CSI series. IDY first went dramatic on Baywatch, and since he failed, he didn't give up and switched to the CSI drama. I even put CSI on his swim suit just for people who are a bit slow to realise, but I guess it didn't work for you either.
Half-assed
I'm sorry, but I can't give this a good review. Apparently, the artisic talent is there, but the fact that you got VERY lazy at the animation absolutly ruins it. When there was animation, you took the easiest way out by taking as many shortcuts as possible. (Loops, simple shapes when there was movement, TRACED BITMAPS, etc) Even furry faggotry wouldn't save the movie for me... Well maybe it would. If it was detailed though.
I agree it is Half-assed, because it pretty much is really, but if you looked further into my SA account on the submission's description, this flash is experimental and I had to finish it off quick, for college work and deadlines were piling up onto me. Thanks anyways for your honest oppinion. Still appreciated.
