The art style for this movie had a simple look in terms of character design and many of the backgrounds looked great.
This movie used less shading than other newgrounds submissions; However, the lighting and shadows were always given clear cut sources.
The coloring was well done.
You used plenty of camera angles and the animation had plenty of great poses.
This was a very good submission.

Nice little story. I really liked your style of art.
My feelings on this are complex. On one front, I was immediately captivated by the drawing, the animation, the scoring, the use of silence, and the way you brought this all together -- it was beautiful.
The plotline was also obviously well conceived, carefully constructed. But you lost me before long. The dragon's approach was menacing. Villagers or no villagers, that bad boy was coming for destruction. Yet before long he was changed to the victim. Why set us up that way? The villagers could be wrong, but why set us up to the heroin's side just to switch over to empathy for the dragon? I quickly found myself confused. Perhaps there are good dragons, but you seemed to already tell us this was not such a dragon.
Perhaps that is why I found myself only half-involved afterwords. I remained on the edge of my seat waiting for something to change -- when does the dragon prove to be tricking them? when does something go wrong? -- only to find the contiguity of the promised plotline upheld from thence forth.
In awe of your creative talents, I remain nonetheless confused. The emotions, the passions, the goals of each character changed -- including those of minor characters -- so rapidly and via such rapid actions that the story broke down. It could not captivate as thoroughly as its visuals promised. And that, in itself, was a shame, for I was engrossed from the very start by the beauty and surprisingly evocative nature of your composition.
Such are my thoughts. Perhaps I pontificate for nothing, but here it stands.
You have such obviously great talent. Stay true!
Very original. I like the story and concept. The VO is superb as well as the music and sound design.
