Nicely done
Animation was higher quality than previous green collab. Some bits are drawn out and dull. Overal nicely done I look forward to seeing more!
Reviews for "The 5 Shades of Blue"
Here's the dilli-o.
Let me say this first.
Xionic Demon's entry was the worst. Angsty teenage bullshit set the whole collection back as a whole. Linkin' Park, Chibi Anime art style and broken heart suicide. Real original there buddy, and I don't care if it's based on a real event in your life, odds are your overexaggerating to the extreme, you over-emotional hack.
Water isn't a weapon, idiot.
As for the rest of you. Awesome. Some were very artistic and meaningful, others were just plain hilarious. You guys put together something really nice here. I'm going to give this a four out of five because I really enjoyed the majority of what I saw, but your score out of ten was reduced thanks to the angsty demon over there.
Anyhoo, ciao
hmmmmmmm

xionic demon..you try too hard to make a meaning. that was dumb.
there was a lot of overplayed music in this...it was annoying.
fucking dumbass right there, just thought id let everyone know.
there were only 2 of em that i liked the shark one and xioni demon one. demon because it had linkin park and was alright and the shark one cause it was funny. Other then that i thought the rest were pretty dumb
worst collab ever. Well, not really.
I only found that I liked a couple of the entries in this collab... Usually I find that half the collab is very good. Was there a lack of talent this time? I dunno. Let me go over the entries:
DNR's entry was very well done, but I got the feeling that maybe it was done for something else, and then re-colored blue and water added to make it fit the theme of this collab. I may be wrong, but I guess it's just that it would have worked just as well had it not been blue, and had there not been water. Animation and art was superb tho.
Mynamewontfitin... I dunno. It's just strangeness, it lacks cohesiveness, there's not a lot of plot going on.
Greedom - Not badly done at all. The animation was good, there was a plot, a definite beginning, middle and end. Reasonably well done.
ZeekySpaceyLizard - I dunno. It was well done, but just kind of strange. I liked your simple, but effective "waves." The story was kind of blah, kind of obvious what was going to happen as soon as he threw the paintings in. Also, I'd like to say that the animation of him falling from the boat was a real cop-out. Or was he SUPPOSED to be a two-dimensional character?
Space Chicken - well made, I laughed once or twice... Unfortunatley I saw the ending coming a mile away.
Xionic_Demon - your version of the simplified "madness" style characters are decent looking, and you did a good job with the facial expressions. The violence was kind of unrealistic somehow, though - the movements were slightly wrong. I dunno. It wasn't bad, just a bit sub-par.
Djamin - ...Not a whole lot of plot going on there, is there? Just sort of a snippet of music video with a very simple character. The lack of plot was disappointing, I would have liked to have seen more going on. The lip-sync was perfect, well done... But at the end, I found myself thinking "That's IT???"
So you see my problem with this collab - I felt that most of the entries were, in some way or other, mediocre. It's not bad, and I certainly wouldn't have blammed any of them had they been submitted on their own... But It's not up to the quality I've come to expect. Ah well.
Good concept
MyNameWontFitIn: Funny. Dreaming part cool. Somewhat depressing.
Space Chicken: Freaking fucking funny. You rule
Xionic_Demon: Nice graphics. Sorry for the event of your life
Greedom: Quite dark. Quite violent.
DNR: What´s the sense of it? Nice drawings anyway
DjAmin: Nice. You got bored of animating, or what? It needs something extra...
ZekeySpaceLizard: Trippy... beautiful. Nice head you got.
