I got excited for NATA this year since you were entering again. You didn't fail to disappoint!
Reviews for "Alive (NATA Finals)"
Pure excellence. Pahgawk without a doubt you are one of my favorite animators on the Internet. Your art style is fresh and alive, and your humor is witty without the use of profanity and stupidity. Your writing and music creating skills are superb, and this piece was just magnificent. I would just like to personally thank you for gracing Newgrounds with your amazing talent these past months as I have been looking forward to each entry the second I had finished the previous. Thank you for everything Pahgawk, and good luck!
The moral of the story is that the best person to teach Death to have a life is a stubborn imbecile.Good work as always even though it is a change from the usual.
I still think it's good. ^_^
Awesome x 1000. Nice story, smooth animation. You seem to choose a dark or sad ending for each of your entries, apart from your first one.
The only thing that to me seemed not right was the wavy cloak effect on death. It was "rippling" the wrong way I think. The hood in particular was out horizontally as if blown by the wind but then the waves in the fabric where travelling towards the head. It's a common mistake I see. Well that's the only pedantic feedback opportunity I could spot.
Seeing your animating progress to the level that it is now has inspired me. You have been able to take the time to make conscious changes to your style each time despite being under pressure to make a lot in a short amount of time (something which I failed to do causing me to fall into old habits and not improve as much)
well done
