Breathtaking Ambience
This was instantly slapped into my favorites. It (the flash) was absolutely the best thing to come home to after work. I have to say that this was utterly brilliant. The concept, the design, the action; the list goes on. In a word: Wow.
To be completely honest, when I first clicked on it I couldn't help but close an eye and hope for the best. No, this isn't meant to be taken as an insult, or the like. It's just what I immediately thought when I read the title. I'd never seen any of your other works before so I had no idea what I would be viewing. Boy am I glad that I didn't pass this title up. It pretty much made my day. (And it's quite fitting that I watched this right after purchasing tickets to see Narnia.)
The style was slick and just rough enough to make the entire piece just 'work' for me. Granted everything was smooth lined and double edged but it made me think 'jagged silk'; the type of plaster paint just thick enough to sink my teeth into. Totally metro. (wee for slang) I really could find no fault with this piece in the terms of animation style, coloring, posing, and what have you . . . It was premium.
The sound; that's another story but there again I really could find no fault in any of it! True the battle scene had a lot of reused grunts and cries but that's okay because no one, (basically I), would really care; I was so caught up with the action that the sound melted into the background while I was watching the character hack, slash, and punch his way through the warriors. To be able to make me forget that there is anything besides the sequence unraveling before my eyes is really saying something. (Even if it's just to me.) Applause is needed, warranted, and granted.
Your flash is beautiful. You deserve a 10, you truly do, but I'm giving you a 9. It's nothing to do with the quality, because it's Boss, but more to do with my personal rating system. Love it, saved it, and am waiting patiently for the next chapter to unfold.
Overall 9/10
