--after watching--

If you'd like to help me out please answer these questions:
k
Do you think I have a shot at placing in newgrounds Halloween if this is the beginning of a 3 minute feature? I have a whole storyboard and at this rate I think I can get a 3 minute done before then.
No. The quality of the artwork is not that good. I don't really like it. Try a different style of artwork. Perhaps something less complicated.
Did you find anything particularly disruptive to the quality of the movements?
Nope, the hand that is cut in half doesn't look right though. Sooooooo... Maybe it's the anatomy of it. The arms are too long in my opinion. Doesn't look right.
Did you see anything that you found to be wrong in any way concerning aesthetics or how it looks? Proportional problems?
One question higher. Arms are too long, and the figure looks too weak to rip his heart out.
Did you notice any lag while playing in any level of quality?
Nopes
If you watched it more than twice, how many times did you watch it?
Once :D I only state the things that I notice on the first view. Would you sit in a movie theatre and watch the same movie twice in a row (paying of course) just to find the errors? I use that principle when rating things. If it didn't really surprize me, then I won't watch it again. Unless you're desperate for criticism :/
Did you like it?
The artwork is bad, but if you add some cinimatics to it, and fix some of the iffy stuff up, then I think that you could make something really good out of this. Story line seems like it would be something relative to Halloween.
I've had comments about the reaction of the heart being pulled out not being 'dramatic' enough. Do you agree?
Yeah. Needs more force and blood.
Thank you if you took the time to read and answer.


Bold words are for serial, dawg.

I'm going to fix up the scratchiness but I'm not going to change around my style. :/

The arms are too long, I agree. I went wrong with measuring the scale of. I will resize them if I have the time after finishing them but right now I'm rushing to get this done.

I am desperate for criticism. I need more opinions than my own. Before these posts I thought it was pretty sufficient so far, but after review I'm going to clean up the scratchiness and rework some points. I want this to be as good as possible and hard criticism like the king you all gave me is the best way there.

I wouldn't call the artwork 'bad' but if you say so, sure. I'm planning and trying to make it more appealing and interesting. :]

Yeah. Needs more force and blood.

The character looks weak as you said before, doesn't he? So shouldn't his actions also be weak and less forceful?

If the character is weak looking (Looks very weak), then how could he pull his heart out that easily? You should at least show some restraint (Weak people often struggle and feel pain easier, therefore they basically rethink what they're doing), maybe throw in a short clip of where his face expresses frustration. It just looks like he puts his hand on his chest, and then rips his heart out. Since he is weak, he will actually need more force to do something like that :D Quite the oposite of what you just said, if you ask me.

This is all quite true. I'll add this to my editing list. Thank you!

Good Luck with it.
Even if you don't make it by the deadline, you should still finish it.

If I hurry I should make it by the deadline, and if its a piece of crap by the time I upload it I'll just finish it as a refined movie later. Why? because I'm liking my storyboard. :B

I think from the perspective of needing to get this in on time balanced with the thought of entertaining the audience with spooky things, I think I'm alright. Thank you though

If you can entertain me with spooky stuff, or make me feel creeped out or scared in anyway, then you sir, are good.

lol This conversation and watching NG videos is making me want to work on my game. . .

Thanks. I wouldn't call my other videos like factory or twilight dark or anything. This one has an excuse too. It's for halloween. So no one can call me ****ed up for animating gore like I really want to. :D

Well knowing your standards that will be a difficult task. :>

Do you have a game development thread I can view in the community originals section?
