Good one!
Very, VERY good for a first flash. Not many first flash videos contain music, sound effects and such a quality. Well done!
Reviews for "The Consumptionist"
Nicely done
My only complaint is that the art could use a bit of improvement (the shuttering/inconsistency, that is. I like your style).
Besides that, this is nicely done.
What a pleasant suprise
For a first animation this was pretty damn good. I wouldn't be surprised if I were to find this kind of thing on the front page. It had a minor story line that didn't need to really be explained, the music fit the animation, the animation itself was also pretty good. The only thing I could really see needing work is some minor shape issues (the hand at some points looked a little odd... but they are hard to draw anyway) and I would try to work on some smoother animation skills. That might mean drawing more frames for the end result, maybe working with tweens in some way, or any other solution you can think of. As this is your first I gave you a 9 due to the sheer wow factor that it hit me with. I enjoyed the minor story and even felt some of the emotion that it conveyed. (the part inside the creature, viewing what has or will happen) The simple effect of dropping all the color and keeping it line art only was the right move to make there. All in all a great first movie.

Strangely entertaining
I really liked how fluid your animation flowed it seemed planned out and given enough parts to shine. Its a bizarre piece but feels very European riddle in mystery. I love your balloon or liquid style character that follows your protagonist. I definite believe this is from a dream given the multiple meanings riddled within. Your protagonists face seems a bit boxy but the missing mouth seems to send a deeper meaning.
Not bad for 2 days of work.
I thought it rocked.
You should be proud of yourself. It had more depth and sophistication in the story than 99% of NG submissions. Your aesthetic palette was restrained, thank god, and your animation flowed well. Visually appealing, and satisfying.
Can't wait to see more of your work.

That may be true, but I am shooting to be as good as the 1% of the animations that are jaw dropping, Ive got a long way to go.
