Reviews for "Umichan Dark Winter"

w/e you say lol.

Good but could of been better

This flash had an interesting combination boons and banes.

First of all, character moved kind of clunky. To me the smoothness of any flash is important. If you could improve that, I think it would been a lot better. However on that same note I think you got the drift of snow down almost perfectly. The snow had a good feel to it.

Second, part of the animation was kind of smeared. A good example of this is the area around trees. It just doesn't feel realistic.

The lip sinking was another thing that I think could use some improvement. The way they moved their mouths, reminded me of a bad anime. However I also understand that the human mouth has been giving animators trouble forever. So this is kind of understandable.

Finally, I did like how the character was drawn. I can tell you have spent a lot of time drawing and perfecting the small details of this character. For that I say, good job!

Vortex00 responds:

Thanks for the feedback. I'll get better as I do more stuff like this.

Looks good

This was fairly entertaining to watch and it was good to see all of those voices and songs. The animation was simply gorgeous at least in terms of how the camera worked and the background. The downsides was that the character animation could have been better. It is a little hard to take this seriously when her breasts bounce as she is running. I don't know, maybe if she was hotter, I wouldn't care. This still has a great atmosphere to it and really keeps you guessing.

There was not that much action but you are trying to first set up your characters and story. Congrats on managing to make it into the Christmas 2009 section. This could use some more dialogue as it got confusing. What matters is that it does seem to have an original design and for the most part it works. The transition effects are good too.

Vortex00 responds:

Thanks. hopefully I can get better at animation and story telling.

Kinda Nice...

When your animation her use layers for her body parts and face. If you just draw the whole thing it wouldn't look as good. If you look at her in that animation you'd see that her side were kinda rough. This is what happens when you draw her then animate. If you look at some animators you'll see that they use lots of layers for their characters while animating. The results of animating this way is much better than the method you used there.
Another thing you could improve on is lip syncing. When people talk, they don't just open their mouths for words to come out. The mouth usually opens in different ways as a person is talking. For example, if you say 'snake' with your mouth open the word comes out as 'hake'. I hope this review helps you.
P.S: I'm not the best of explaining things so I suggest going to YouTube for some animating tutorials.

umm...

i dont get it at all... i played the game befor but i dont see how it gets here... the voice acting not so nice, i understand your animation style but its not my thing but there r ways for u to improve it so that any1 people ( like me ) can like it, well its just that the animation is not good thats all well thats a harsh review i just gave hehe!

Vortex00 responds:

I will work to improve, however all parts are meant to be understood just yet from just this animation alone. Thanks for the review.
