cute! :)

[The Adam Hendrickson Show - Episode 3]

the dialogue here is pretty lame ngl

[Jorgy's]

this isn't funny. it's just kinda nothing. no interesting conflict, the dialogue is bare bones and repetitive. not to mention the art isn't even bad in a funny way, it's just not very good. the audio is hard to understand and everything is badly timed, the conversation if you can call it that, doesn't flow at all. this looks, sounds and feels like it was made in 20 minutes with no thought at all.

bingo

[The Darly Boxman Show]

pretty cool! I like it a lot! but definitely could be improved. I like the attempt at analogue horror, but idk, the art feels a lil too clean to me. Analogue horror tends to have a more lofi look to it. Your usual high res high fps (mostly)naturally moving animation doesn't really lend itself to that vibe. I also find the timing of things to be a little too natural/structured. It lacks the chaotic timing that makes analogue horror really off kilter and scary. Audio quality was a lil too good too. Idk, feels like you were caught in a weird crossroads between wanting something more in line with your usual animation style and your blue channel stuff, and then ended up skimping on that crunchy grungy spooky vagueness that is blue channel. I would love to see you try something like this again though!! I know you can do it, and I love your work <3

have a great day!! :)))))

Gooseworx responds:

That's fair.
Although I will say I wasn't really trying to go for that much of an analog horror angle. I mostly just wanted it to be weird and funny. Adding the grain and compression was actually a pretty last-minute decision to differentiate the show from the "real world."
But I appreciate the critique nonetheless.

I sure hope runka doesn't take my-

[Seamen]

I think it's pretty good! But the backgrounds and everything except the sea men having outlines make the lack thereof on them feel really jarring and out of place. Give these bois outlines lol

[Puyo Puyo Tetris Animated]

This animation is fucking phenomenal, god I'm so glad you uploaded this to NG! It def makes me wanna get way better at animating character acting!
