"Very offbeat, exceptionally imaginative!"

submission: 'the garden'

date: June 21, 2006

Imagination is the most important quality you can have if you are trying to be creative.
This submission, like your others, shows that you definitely have a rich and delightfully odd imagination. I'm impressed!

Score: 10

"Like a breath of fresh air!"

submission: "A tree"

date: April 16, 2006

This is absolutely wonderful! When digital technology made it possible for practically anybody to proclaim himself an animator, an enormous quantity of pure crap began to appear and continues to proliferate today. This marvelous piece of tender art is welcome evidence that all hope is not lost. there are still people with imagination and uplifting ideas
to express. Please continue your creative work!

Score: 10

"Outstanding!"

submission: The Lonesome Boatman

date: March 17, 2006

Its surprising how realistic the ocean effect is, especially since you accomplish it with what appears to be a still image (no internal movement of the waves) by simply panning it slowly across the background. Very nice work!

Score: 9

"Impressive styling, very good coloring!"

submission: The Planet Family 1

date: March 10, 2006

Well designed, very original characters, good timing, and funny. Folks, notice how color is used in this movie, especially in the backgrounds. A lot of NG submissions would be much better if more attention was paid to color tonalities. Fully saturated hues are rarely seen in nature. The landscape backgrounds in this flash are very realistic and visually appealing. It's not just good drawing, its also knowing how to adjust the chroma of the colors.

Score: 8

"Nice Drawings!"

submission: With A Smile

date: January 26, 2006

You have drawing talent and a good sense of framing and camera angle to acheive atmosphere and dramatic effects. Your use of color indicates a knowledge and command of natural tonalities, not the usual gaudy easter-egg hues so often seen on NG. I encorage you to continue developing your craft, you have real potential!

Score: 8

"Good drawing, good color!"

submission: The Filth EP2

date: January 22, 2006

This submission has graphic quality almost never seen on NG. The characters actually have hands, with fingers, instead of flippers. The color tonalities are skillfully designed and applied. A good story idea is still the most important thing, but having some artistic talent
can make even a less-than-excellent idea a pleasure to watch.

Score: 10

"Good in every way!"

submission: Belong to everyone

date: November 1, 2005

Ingredients for exceptional work:
1. A clever idea.
2. Drawing skill
3. Knowledge of color and how to use it
4. Keen sense of timing and pace
This little move has it all.

Score: 10

"Well done, and very funny."

submission: Captain Capitalism

date: October 5, 2005

What a difference good drawing makes! It's nice to see characters that have detailed features, hands with correctly drawn fingers for example. This would be a pleasure to watch just for the quality of the graphics, even if it wasn't funny as hell, but it is!

Score: 9

"Real Quality!"

submission: Kids should be outside.

date: September 7, 2005

CAZ T,
I'd like to encourage you to continue creating your work in animation.
Your talent and imagination is exceptional.

Its obvious that you put a lot of time and effort into your creations, and its understandable that you would be angry if some pathetic non-entity stole them from you. But please don't let it discouage you. I'll be watching for more of your work!

Score: 9

"Good idea, nice use of color."

submission: life: a sticky note

date: August 28, 2005

This should appeal to everyone, except of course, those who would prefer to have the guy killed in a traffic accident with his head severed and his blood spattered everywhere. This flash has many nice qualities (good drawing, good pacing, etc.) but the thing that impressed me most is the intelligent use of color. The world around us is is made up up mostly subdued colors. Highly saturated colors are comparatively rare. Knowledge of this can make the difference between an professional looking work and mediocrity.
