Reviews for "Feioras Story Part 2"

Not bad

Like the person previously reviewed, some areas/parts have excellent graphics and others...just fall waay short. but i noticed the consistency of smoothness for the most part, except for the loop of when the mother and child are walking. One thing that realy brought down my review was the voice acting....really doesn't work...

merit44 responds:

Thankyou very much for you input. As far as the voice acting what would you suggest I do. I'm not saying it to be funny but do you know how hard it is to find reliable people that are willing to stay with a long term project? That is why I ask you or any one else out there reading this. I think I may start a forum on my deviant art site just for this. You can send me an e-mail at my general account ariencjdix44@yahoo.com if you have any suggestions on this.

is this finished?

During some parts the animations and art are awsome, but during others it's just plain horrible. It makes the whole thing look a little humerous which is obviously not what your going for.

merit44 responds:

Yeah! I pretty much get that vibe as I tread through these reviews. I think I need to focus my efforts on conveying the story as a whole and I will probably get better results in the long run. I hope me Xmess episode doesn't get the warm reception this one did 00

Yet again I'm still confused...

But I understand at least a fragment of this story... I think? Anyways, the 3-D affects are awesome and the art is excellent. It was really enjoyable but I only had one problem with it... the coloring. It's... very colorful, I'm used to plainer flashes I guess but oh well... still a great flash. Oh and as for a flash date, be expecting one late this year around november or december. Sadly, it will only be a practice flash. I'm currently gathering ideas for a game that might be made... maybe, I'm stilling thinking about it. Anways, I'll tell you when I'll release my flash on your websit name thing or whatever you told me( I have a horrible memory). Well can't wait till part three. Good Luck :D

merit44 responds:

I'm starting to think rather than try to break this off bit by bit I better just consintrate my efforts on conveying the whole plot of my story in the movie itself before I get run off of Newgrounds LOL! Coloring an issue hun. That one has us both at a lost since I make a majority of my money using colors choosing colors for layouts and schemes and what not. I will see what I can do to soften it a bit. Oh and I really can't wait for your flash presentation. I will be the first one in line hopefully to see it and don't worry about it being your first on or putting it on newgrounds. I will back you up and I have pleanty of people that will do the same in case you run into a bunch of jack rabbits on this site (Yeah I'm tired of cursing now so I will behave a little). An Artist has an obligation to please his udience but by first and far most himself. You just do the best you can do and you will find what works for you and if it works for you chances are it will for others out there. Don't worry about the rejection part cause as you can see from my comments I'm pretty used to dealing with it. Do your best man I look foward once again to seeing what you can do and if I can help in anyway I can let me know. I believe in backing my fellow artist!

Interesting.

All right, I have to admit that you get a few bonus points for this one: my name is Nora, and you used that name for one of your characters.

Besides that, I think you did a good job on this! It still needs a little work, but keep it up and you'll do just fine.
Good job!

merit44 responds:

LOL! You don't say? Maybe I can get you to do the voice over for her character since I stink at doing female voices. Who would know Nora better than Nora LOL J/k I appreciate your thoughts on this and I will aim to improve that is a promise to you ^^

Not great

This is nice for a newgrounds animation in general, although the overall quality is still not exceptional. It's nice enough. Hence a 7 for graphics.

Where this fails is in general terms of style. The story is somewhat cliche, that characters are not particularly deep. The movie does a fine job of poor job of creating pathos - the characters are weak, and they do not develop in any meaningful way. They use of anthropomorphic characters is not a big deal to me - but I must admit shock that the author of this would reply to a review criticizing the reviewer for stating an opinion, and essentially telling that person that they don't need to look at other things by this author: Style is always up for discussion, it's why we have a style tab in our review section. Furthermore, the purpose of art is to be understood, and to review something - usually called a truth. If you criticize someone for not understanding your work, then it probably means that you need to make your message clearer in some way. Frankly, I don't have a problem with your message or meaning. I have a problem in that your presentation here is weak in general.

merit44 responds:

Okay! I can't waste all day trying to explain myself to evey individual that has a problem with what I say and do. Why is it that it is wrong for me to validate *My opinion* based on someone elses opinion? You guys can dish out critisizm nicely but you damn sure can't take it back very well. I thought one of the things that is garenteed in the constitution is freedom of speech right? So then let me ask you this...where do we draw the line? Should I go up to everyone that I don't like and tell them that to there face? Should I tell everyone that is ugly to jump back into there momma womb and stay there? Should laugh at everyone in the street that is having a bad day when mine is going great? Why don't I just walk into an art gallery and say that a freakin pacasso (sorry my speeling stinks ^^) doesn't make a damn bit of sense to me. The list goes on and on. There is something called Netiquette(internet term for etiquette) my friend. If you don't know what that means I suggest getting a dictonary and looking it up cause then you will have and answer to all of the above and why I say what I say and do what I do. Don't take this the wrong way, it's only critisizm after all ^^ With that said I agree that the story needs work and I will try to bring my characters to life a bit more as soon as I figure out how.
