Incredible work

I can tell you're not an animator but your illustration skills shine through like nothing else. Awesome integration of the music, awesome posing of your characters. The only thing that could make this better is having animation basics behind you. Other than that, hot damn.

Art needs lots of work-good effort and persistance

Since you seem like the person who actually wants critiques here's my two cents.

When people say your art needs work, it means that you need to focus on making your characters more believable. By believable, I mean that the characters seem like they can actually exist in that world. Try to keep their volumes from warping constantly. A great reference for you to learn from is the "Animator's Survival Kit" by Richard Williams. Almost all animators worth their salt own this book as well as any beginners. The effort put into this animation shows to me that you're serious about trying to learn how to animate. Start taking life drawing, etc. Another book I'd recommend to learn how to "see" when drawing is "Drawing on the Right side of the Brain" These are two no-bullshit books that will improve your abilities by teaching you the basics of art and animation. Good luck.

Eh,characters look more believeble? they are cartoons you know, the have oversized hands feet and head for a reason..Bu if indeed you also menat believeble for a character, i have a couple drawing learn books here,including a manga one , so i guess i will take a look again, thanks..

So imaginative. Artsy.

Awesome, great to see something with such interesting visuals, and approach. I was still left wanting a resolution to the end. Can't really explain it, not so much as wanting more; It just felt unfinished.

Great Job

I appreciate how you got the tense feeling across without having to resort to loud sounds or screams whenever something freaky comes out. Great work.

nice illustrator reel.. but..

For a reel to land an illustration job I'm thinking you'll need to pay much closer attention to colour correction. Also make absoultely sure that you take out that eyeball with the screen reflection in it. Compared to the rest of the art, it shows where your drawing ability really is when you see the person reflected in the eye on the screen. I'm automatically assuming that you copied or traced all the rest of those people from magazines or net pictures. Life reference or tracing isn't a bad thing but that eye scene just screams "DON'T HIRE ME"

I can proove you wrong, today I was drawing for hours in a test - not tracing- to proove my skills. At the beginning I just was not used to draw anymore, but I soon got better while drawing. Thanks for the mentioning of the eyeball - this was my first attempt dealing with reflections the car window was the last. In one point you're right, reference is a thing every artist has or has to have plus the books of good ole Burne Hogarth!

Incredible. Absolutely incredible

A Sambakza masterpiece. Awesome, awesome work.

For Southpower: I believe that in Korea grades are based on rankings among students rather than just letter grades. You're placed like first, second, 205th, 2,275,908th, she was on the lower end of the grades. At least, that's what I gathered.

Plagarism: Only screwing yourself in the end

Perhaps if you would adapt reference rather than blatantly trace entire animations and section them up; you may actually get to a level of art that will be worth the time to shoot down. As of this post, this is to inform that this has been Very badly traced from at least three animations I've seen, there was one scene I was unsure of but I have no doubt that it was traced too. You're going nowhere in life, scrote.

Best use of sprites I've seen yet

The thing I find awesome about this is that you managed to make awesome use of good and bad sprites alike. Granted there is nothing original about this beyond your method of execution but damn man. You pulled this off so smoothly, I just about died when I saw Buu in there doin the wriggly thing.

Admirable Effort.

If you want to improve your art, read the book "Drawing from the Right Side of the Brain" (Sorry, forgot the author's name and I can't find my book right now)

If you want to improve your animation, get the Animators Survival Kit by Richard Williams. Follow the basics in here as if they were your bible. This book is used for reference the world over. (Even If you're an athiest, you can still pretend it's a bible)

Hyper-Shadow-Death responds:

thanks ill be sure to check it out

Great effort.

You spent alot of time on this and it shows. Valiant effort and with more tweaking as well as attention paid to the character, you'd have a top notch animation.

Should read up on proper animation and doing key drawings rather than straight ahead. once you practice with that; you'll make a lot better animation in less time.
