[Xionic Madness 4 Part-2]

This one sucked me in!

What a truly outrageous display of skill with effects and animation you have. Coming such a long way mate!

Music was amazing, sounds worked. Some swearing was unnecessary, but overall good voice acting.

Colour scheme and style were amazing and original and the storyline reminded me of all the DBZ I used to love with her transforming, and you made my gut fall at the end. NOT TO BE CONTINUED!!! D:

Hurry up man get to work! Cliff hangers.

Xionico responds:

Yep! It has been a long way! And whenever I feel like it hasn't, I just have to watch the first Xionic Madness and say "...Yep! It has been a long way!"

Yeah, I admit, a lot of the cussing was unnecesary, but I wanted to make Xero one bitter potty-mouth :6

And I will get to work D:!

[RedHand 2 Short Preview]

VOICES!

Animation is crisp and the voices are flawless.. The guy that does GOHAN'S VOICE o_o AND DBZ announcer! WTF...!

So win... Do we have a due date? A way to follow you? Need help setting something up?? I want to see this ASAP.

Seriously dude. Contact me if you're interested in any help.

Shayphis responds:

xD Thanks man! Yeah i'm just as surprised this all worked out :)

No dude date yet as of now, still have quite a way to go :C, and i don't have twitter (only bookface) lol but i can always post occasional updates if you'd like here ^^. Actually i do need some help with a 3D vehicle driving bit, i will contact you about that :)

I really appreciate the interest man!

[King David Demo 2011]

Great potential!

You're very consistent with your character drawings which is VERY hard to do. (Consistent between frames)

What it does lack I noticed, at the end of an action, whether it be an arm raise or a final keyframe of sorts, there's no ease to that final frame. This isn't always nessicary but boosts your 'smooth animation' feel 10 fold.

You know how to contact me if you want to know more, and great progression mate. I'm very impressed how far you've come! :)

ToonCastleTV responds:

Haha thanks a lot buddy. Been working hard, and yes I'm aware of this technique, and if you check out Pico's Penny Prank - it is apparent in a lot of the other character's actions, (Felt Pico was krazy as fuck and felt he had exaggerated speed) But I shoulda thrown those other character's clips in on this, but i'll just put them in next years to show i've improved ;) The movement of arcs I believe is what your referring to.

the reason why I didn't do it was to save time because this was a school project and had to be in at a certain time, and barely had time to do what I did lol :P

But thanks a lot for the kind words and encouragement bro! I actually study animation avidly, but there is always more to learn - so whenever im in doubt, ill run my thoughts by ya :)

[To Dream of Flight]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Wanted to see the 'predictable' cheese grater death!!! :'( Would have been hilarious to splat then slowly 'grate' himself down...

Still awesome animation 4/5 - 9/10

WhiteLightning responds:

Ah, you're one of THOSE people : )

[Shower Products for Men]

Annoyingly Bad Quality

But storyline, art style and concept were outrageously hilarious i couldn't but help share this link with all my friends!

Great work, please think about export quality next time and look for some more alternatives (as I noticed flash wasn't used much for most of your effects).

Keep it up dude! :D

Chag responds:

The amount of time trying to get an export that was under the file limit and still good quality drove me insane.

I'm really annoyed with how bad the quality is, but I eventually just had to run with it and provide a link to the high res version instead =\

[U: First Thing Game]

Damn!! :(

SO MUCH POTENTIAL!!! The greatest and most powerful tool in animation is your timing. The 'back flip kick' was totally unnecessary, more so there was no sound or emotion. That was you main punch line so next time something like that happens do this:

"Justin Beiber"
*guy gets immediate angry face* half a second later punches the friend*
*Dragon Ball Z power sound* or something

Of coarse this is only a suggestion. You're going to have to make up your own god damn mind if you're going to accept what I have to tell you or not. :)

Good luck in future productions man!

Blakant responds:

thanks for the good suggestion, we'll try to dig out more idea & execution it much btter next time :D

[Inside the mind of Craig]

It's good to have you back!

Mate! Brilliant work, you keep excelling at what you're good at and you even give me inspiration to continue Killing Spree 7! So I might go ahead and do that now...

But first brilliant graphics, Sound, Animation and Story. I'm very intrigued to what you pull this out to be!

I look forward to hearing from you soon man, we have a lot to catch up on.

-Samus

jocki responds:

Glad to hear I inspire you man ^^

[SWAP! ch.1]

Wasn't too bad

Music and Ideas were great, as some have already mentioned the voice acting was bad.

Obviously English isn't their native tongue as the timing and expression of the voices were TOTALLY off.

There are so many voice actors available on NewGrounds that will gladly help you out for FREE and their actually really good! Go here to advertise for your voice actor: www.newgrounds.com/bbs/topic/816629
