[woah sharks]

Theyre so shiny, I'm so thrilled they got oiled up for their marvelous performance.

Breathtaking, makes America proud (or any other country really). We need more of these beautiful slick shark performances.

[Next!]

Well well well. This is nice! I love 11 second club animations. Short, sweet, little snippets.

Your artwork is awesome. Nice clean, smooth lines, and your colors were very nice and matched the characters well. Great character design and movement. The background was simple but it matched the rest very well and allowed the main characters to be the center of attention without distracting or detracting.

Now, the animation was very nice and smooth too. Your in-betweens flow well and everything (poses and movements) seemed very natural with no choppiness or weird delays. The only thing I noticed was that it seemed the voices didn't completely match the lip-syncing sometimes. Not sure if it was a lag due to my equipment of if the timing is actually off, but it wasn't anything incredibly noticeable, so maybe it was just me.

Anyway, great job, I love things like this. I hope to see more from you.

[Not a Movie Date]

This was pretty decent.

Your artwork and animation was easy on the eyes and stylized well, and worked for what you seemed to be going for.

The music was quiet and set the mood nicely. I'm glad it wasn't too loud -- a lot of people make that mistake. The voice wasn't bad, seemed a little droning at times and at certain points was hard to understand with volume at a consistent average level. Most of it I could hear/make out fine though. I guess a better way to put it would be that the narrator almost seemed congested at times?

The story was alright, and I guess more unique than some other ones about similar experiences/topics. Sometimes these sorts of mini 'stories' can be really common and overdone, and even executed really similarly, but yours didn't totally bore me or draw me away like some others do. Your storytelling was simple and to the point which I appreciated. No convolution or annoying bits added, just good transitions and interesting enough to follow along with.

Overall you did a good job and I hope you expand on more projects like these, and try different things with this style.

[Female Nude Figure Study in Carbon and Graphite]

Beautiful work. I really love the sharp contrasts in your shading, and you captured the essence of each pose really well considering the time you had for each (especially the 15 minute one!).

I loved all my figure drawing classes and wish there were more available to take around me right now. My biggest lesson I had to learn was to do a quick general gloss - over sketch just to capture the composition and figure really quick. I always have an inclination toward drawing the detailed stuff right off, which seemed to be a no-no.

Anyway, I love this and I hope you upload more of these sketches! I think these are great to have in the Portal and for others to see your process and practice work.
