This is probably the least funny thing on Newgrounds, but I'm proud of how the animation came out, and I wanted to put my final major animation project somewhere, so here it is.


This was born out of my interest for dragonflies and other insects, since they move in such a fascinating way to me, it's almost like nothing else in the animal kingdom, followed by a friend introducing me to the first 6 Star Wars films. My inspiration lies heavily in Invader Zim and Polandball comics I was addicted to recently.


The designs on the Dragonfly's spaceship was intended to be what would come naturally if dragonflies were to design a spaceship. A human is most comfortable sitting in a chair leaning back, so everything about driving a car is designed around that. Meanwhile, a dragonfly is most comfortable perched on a stalk, so I designed the controls around that. I also made sure it had a recognisable silhouette from every angle you looked at it from (not because I intend on doing anything else in this universe, I just wanted to show off) and had inspiration for the textures from Olimar's ship The Dolphin from Pikmin.

A very good job. You should be proud of yourself

These are some very interesting and well made visuals. I love the mix of 2D and 3D animation.
This is some real front page material, I've gotta say! I think I'll go recommend it right now.

I was quite impressed by this! The least funny thing on Newgrounds? I can think of a lot worse things than this. The best part is the animation. You seemed to show all sorts of different styles here. The sounds were great too.

I love how you list your inspirations. This is really well structured. These insects have a fair amount of personality. It's hard to do that in something so short. It's a nice watchable cartoon.

Thank you so much!
This is my first thing posted on Newgrounds, so I felt there was this expectation to focus on comedy, but it really means a lot to me that yours is my first comment!
