Reviews for "penndragon"

Tricky fun, and I liked it, too.

Haha, was that Frou Frou? Were you trying to slip a Frou Frou song by us? You rascal, you.

Not sure what all the combat was about, but sometimes you just have to fight a big dragon in some clouds. Yet I have this suspicion that you're a mouse-user, not a tablet-user, and if that's the case, then let me express my awe. Ok, I'm done expressing, but mouse use is still no easy task. If that's not the case, then you've still got a pretty original style that goes past simple anime.

My only advice would be to animate a few more of the "motionless" characters - don't reserve your talent just for the flashy combat! If you want to really pull people in, make them feel like everyone, not just the person throwing punches, is an important part of your world. Maybe a head-tilt here or a spin-around there; have them put their whole bodies into it instead of just animating a single part of the body (such as an arm) that is itself attached to a still image. Now, I'm not saying that you should fill the cartoon with immobile characters who just shift in place the whole time, but an hour or two of work on this can bring an already colorful world into absolute life.

yeah i use a mouse, she be a cruel mistress, but i cant get used to wacoms for drawing. maybe for painting though, sometimes i get tired of hearing myself click.
i dig what your saying about characters, its true, i could have put more life in the other characters. lots of times i'll see potential, and just do the bare minimum amount of work, you know? but i'll take that to heart, thanks.

Unique and awesome

I loved the art style, it seemed kind of vague but had good effect, great movie overall.

In response to the guy below, I guess they're symbolic.

Very cool.

Very cool flash, even for an experimental one. I'll definately be keeping an eye open for the sequel.

wow

i really enjoyed the style and the song was great, now if i could only know who did it... ^^;;

bravo!

Seriously man, this just had a good feeling to it. I know u said it was experimental, but the looks and story of it just blend so well that it couldn't hurt to make another one like this.
