Liked the artwork and animation. Very smooth and very good coloring with some good lighting. The anatomy was good on the characters too, though some parts seemed a bit off like the hands and the ears, though weren’t too noticeable. Felt the facial expressions could have been a touch more varied like when the guy and girl made eye contact they have somewhat similar reactions, though the ones where the Cupid character accidently used his real arrows were pretty funny and fit well (liked the girl’s freaked out expression over being impaled).

Writing was simple and followed through well for the most part, though the end felt kind of predictable. I will say I do find it funny that the arrows ended up being real because when they first appeared, I though they were a weird design choice, but ended up being harmful after all in the end lol. What I found predictable and was sort of bland was the brief flashback of the Cupid character getting his arrows and getting the wrong ones as he was running out of time. The timing was fine, but the visual of someone making a mistake because they’re running late has been done many times before. Probably using a bit more context to add to why the Cupid character was running late would have helped exaggerate the joke.

One nitpick I do have is that it seemed odd for the boy and girl to have cupid intervene because both of them already had clear feelings for each other, from what the visuals showed at least. If Cupid’s purpose to be there was to bring the girl even closer to the guy and if there was something stopping them from doing so, then flesh out or highlight that fact.

Liked the simple story and animation, just consider making bolder and more varied choices to the storytelling. Keep it up!

bocodamondo responds:

that nitpick is actually a subtle joke . its that , its pretty obvious that the two fel in love with just the first glimp of each other, so the entire point of the cupid coming and trying to help is unneeded and at the end he even ruins everything (the opposite of what a cupid should do) ^^

Nailed it with the visuals. Loved the second slinky shot in Stamper's hands lol.

Thank you friend!

lol cute. Liked the use and structure of pure black shadows.

sweetcommando responds:

thanks, it was one of the reasons this took too long

I'd say next time have a little more movement for the characters, but aside from that, funny writing and clean animation and backgrounds.

Mallowin responds:

I was 100% expecting a review like this, and I completely agree. I do actually need to put in more in-betweens in my stuff, rather than full-shaded "slideshows", I just got so caught up in spending months making the first part of it, that I didn't have a lot of time for the rest. I'll learn to be more efficient, maybe substitute shading for a ton of in-betweens, or find a medium. Thanks for the review!

Alright, part 2 has arrived! Great humor once again! Really liked how there was more of a variety in the facial expressions and more visual effects compared to the previous eps.

Cheers!

A stand to a lemonade stand, fascinating! In a way it kind of reminds me of a Calvin and Hobbes comic where Calvin tried to have his neighbor, Suzie, buy overpriced lemonade which was really pond water with a lemon thrown in it. Definitely like the use of characters as shapes and the conversation was quite funny too.

Brewster responds:

Thanks man

Definitely some solid animation there and decent audio too. My only complaint would be the length though you do acknowledge in the description, though I still recommend waiting a little longer for free time to make the animation longer. Though If you still want to come out with work quicker, you could make news updates about planned animations or submit other work to newgrounds like artwork or audio to tie viewers over for the next video.

BoomBuster responds:

yes although it was a long spending time to do this, but this wasn't the only one that took too long, it was my computer that took it too long to get this finished

Like the sketchy style of this animation

RPGsrok responds:

Thanks man! It evolved out of pure rush to finish (literally rendered 30 seconds before they started presenting) but I'm glad you like how it turned out.

Sneezing can indeed be fasinating

Brewster responds:

and deadly

I actually like how the characters incomplete animated models are shown. I know it's not a refference to anything simpsons related, but it's interesting to see how a character's design was somewhat laid out.

Speedo responds:

incomplete animated models? huh?

Cartoons are da' bomb :)
