Reviews for "Tail's Halloween"
Fantastic animation and a fun, simple plot, though I feel the ending could have had more “omf”
Really like the lighting and shadows you have on the characters. Makes them fit in right with the nigh environment. The overall movement of the characters is absolutely fantastic. They move fluidly from position to position very well, especially the walking/running transitions. I also really like the reaction faces that they get, especially on the sonic.exe character. The faces he makes are priceless lol. I guess my only issue with the animation, and this is more of a nitpick, is the amount / positioning of spines on sonic, it seems to slightly alter to me, in one part it looks like a Mohawk (like in the sonic x anime and the first 2 sonic cartoons), but in another it looks like he has one spine on his head and the other 2 are on his back. Probably in the future, consider drawing Sonic’s spines with more consistent placement (a good place to reference the placement for Sonic’s spines when just drawing 3 of them would be the Sonic X anime and if you want to try out 5 spines, go find Sonic and the Black Knight story book styled cut scenes).
I also really liked the use of sound effects. The timing on them is great and they're place appropriately. The use of no dialog also really adds to the overall animation too, definitely giving the atmosphere of sonic.exe.
I liked the overall story and it’s a nice parody on the Sonic.exe game/creepypasta. The only issue I had was the end, which felt a bit underwhelming. Not that it’s short or contradictory, it’s a fine length and the story follows through, it’s that the way the sonic.exe character dies felt abrupt. Tails stabs the sonic.exe character in the eye with a cross and that’s it, like it kind of lacked a punch line. I understand that the cross (which is used to ward evil spirits away in some religions) was used to trick Sonic.exe and catch him off guard, but it seemed kind of predictable. Maybe an ending with more “omf” could be if the cross had a reference to a weapon or enemy in the sonic franchise that kills sonic instantly (regardless of how many rings he has), or he bleed rings until he died (and making the traditional sonic death sound).
Overall, really liked the visuals and your best use of sound, lighting and shading yet. Probably just focus on the delivery of the writing. Keep it up!
I don't know if it's the smooth animation, lack of dialogue, subtle sound effects, or fantastic atmosphere, but this is definitely a top-tier animation. It is most likely because Tails has always been a bitch and I've been secretly waiting for retribution, but this does him justice. I would love to see more like this ahah!
for those that don't know, this is based on one of the sonic.EXE games. the games are pretty much creepypasta but that doesn't stop ur imaginations going wild.
Dig the animation u've done here. I assume u got tired of dealing with sonics crap and made an animation to fight back. really well done.
BoomBuster responds:
I have to agree with you, bro. You can't do anything but run in both direction and let him catch you in the game, and that's how it is to let a demon inside him win. I love Sonic.EXE, but that doesn't mean I let him win depending on other Sonic fans out there ;)
What a suspenseful tail of Halloween horror! :O Nice jopb keeping the suspense up! Animation, sound; everything works great. I didn't notice Tails was dressed up as Pika till the end btw. Nice work!
