[666Contamination]

An Anticipated Return to the Core Roots of 666.

This is what makes the 666 gallery. A mysterious picture seen through a grainy camera lens effect. Music that is moody, yet so atmospheric and ever so slightly sleepy(Usually in the form of late night techno). A bizarre Science Fiction/Horror/Dark/Fantasy scenario with Exotic/Erotic elements. Not to mention, An acompanying night time mistress(Usually in the form of naked). Due to your mysteriousness and typically artistic quality of these works, we can't help but save these still frame non-animations from deletion. They also come with a cryptic message from the authors comments. However this certain entry has faults. Namely with the anatomy of your feminine model. Number one would be that she is a bit chubby on the thighs, just a bit 'kay, not too much. The next gripe comes with the perspective of the arms. I know what you are trying to do, you want to make the hands reach out towards us. Thats hard and I have trouble doing that too(but not that much). My tip would be to unthicken her left arm a bit(not too much now!). The key in drawing reaching arms is through proportion( hands have to be a wee bit bigger then the arm. Next thing is the breasts of this delicate creature. I can see her left boob, but her right boob looks awkrad, that is, if it is not her right shoulder, but I'll go with boob considering her stance which appears to be a side view. Her fingers need some polishing too. I find nothing wrong with her face whatsover. I do notice her tail by the way. I also notice regular human ears. Hmmmmm a half human half Lion Furry Hybrid crossbreed perhaps? Speaking of which, perhaps she doesn't have to be proportionate. Afterall, she could be a mutant victim from the radioactive after-effects of a nuclear war. That would probably explain the dusty/wintery, pale background and the tearful deformitees and angry/determined expression of this poor hybrid lass. Thats probably why the title is Contamination, because of the now entoxicating landscape rich with deposits of hot Uranium, maybe...I am pleased that the tradition of 666 is back in place. I wish you good luck on your next picture(s), make it a master piece.

This is quite possibly the best review ever written.

[Akuma]

Unfinished, but Served with Raw Apocalypse.

No Lie, this was quite professionally done. Make a true, solid action thriller with a thought provoking message next time. Something in this tells me that you watch Akira with a side dish of X and then you gulp down an ice cold glass of Matrix to wash it all down.

[Virus Alert - "Weird Al"]

A Swell, Digitally Contagious Music Video.

It has an original art-style, and all scenes match up with the lyrics, which properly implements them with effect. You chose a good song to use. Wierd Al would have been proud if he saw this. You should contact him so you can make this the official video.

["It's Worth It"]

Looks Like Somebody Needs....

....Art lessons, and animation lessons to boot! Please do not be afraid to do a little hand drawn sequence here and there. Try to draw you characters with much more proportionate anatomy. Also note the scene with the trees and the horse chasing(not all trees are on the ground). I did find the Predator cameo to be a little funny. Just who is the girl anyway? A witch or some soldier of some kind? "Tank!" is a great jazz bop masterpiece from one heck of an anime serial, Cowboy Bebop.

[Ariel's High Sorcery 1of3]

Breathtakingly Short.

To make a short story short. Some girl(Mage in training) practices anatomical contruction. She tries to enlogenate here fingers, but a it is a tad too hard on her wee little joints. So she mana dyes(magically recolors) her hair. The Result are sucessfull and she is eager to show her friend her new tricks. Once again this is a beautifully illustrated fantasy world. I like how it is all cute, innocent, and etheral right now. Please note, if you ever depict your characters battling things, be sure to use some sweet had drawn sequences.

[Master & Cat clean kitchn]

Great Artstyle.

The look of this flash is very clean and shiny. It is wonderfully illustrated. I do question the animation, but otherwise the characters have a distinct look that can only be done by a master fantasy artist. Now a criticism I have would be directed to your storyline. Yes, the characters were interesting, but you need to develop a deep, thought provoking piece of drama. However, if you were going for a silly, but fun filler episode you suceeded in that. Keep in mind that fillers kill series if done one too many. Afterall, it happened to Inuyasha and Pokemon. Speaking of which, that cat reminds me of Meowth. Hmmmm, I now question the originality of this piece. Enjoy your score.

[Blue Hair Is Cool]

Plain Boring Spam.

A real Crom joke would have done nicely. Otherwise it is just a kindergarten greeting card with fancy fireworks.

[go little dude!]

My Constructive Criticism for the Author

Don't use sticks. Try to master animation with other anatomical forms. Make them do the cool atheletic tricks you had the stick do. Use close ups and different camera angles too in later movies. Otherwise I say you have a decent animation for now.

thank you for the advice

I had already been thinking my next one would have full people rather than sticks.

[Awesome Video Games - Ep5]

Rad, but Fails in Demolishing My Gut with laughter

We have all laughed at terrible games before, but not so much at instructional videos that tried to help us in playing them. While Angry Video Game Nerd swears at bad games, these acid washed dudes try to give out tips and bounce back amatuerishly between gameplay footage and themselves in an embarassing fashion. This is very remiscent of those terrible videos youngsters had to sit through. Thank goodness we have gamesfaqs today. My gripe is that this video is a little too remiscent of those videos and it borders on reenactment rather then satire, but at least I really liked intro. You should do a segment where you parody the U.S. Videogame Team's technique for defeating this certain boss in Blaster Master(throw a grenade at it, hit pause as it explodes, and have the kids sit through aproximately 10 minutes of pause)

That sound slike one intense tip dude! Thanks for the awesome review, and thanks for watching!
