[Adolf Hitler:CAI493+D 189]

Gimmie an H!

Ah, so Skiploom has evolved into Hitler's personal cheerleader. What an interesting change.

I quite liked Hitler's disguise today, which seemed to only be missing a ra-ra skirt, although this may be taking things a little too far.

Good to see the little animated .gif, but I want to see more animation - maybe have Hitler march onto the flash at least, because I know that you can animate!

Buh...

Practise is the key. Tell your friend that. Do you use a tablet, or a mouse to draw them?

Aside from that, I'm not sure about the tactics for this flash - the drawing quality is poor (obviously) and you have shown that you've got more talent than this (not difficult), by drawing the outlines. I'd try and get something proper together, just to prove that you can really get the job done.

I was so dumb struck, I couldn't even bring myself to watch the remainder of the flash itself - I watched the Cow and Rabbit, but reasoned that they wouldn't get any better.

I don't think he aspires to be any sort of artist. He just draws when he has to.
But everything I do is with a mouse. I don't own a tablet.

Indeed the quality of the flash wasn't the greatest. This was a side project that didn't take very long, and I really enjoyed making it.
We talked about making a sequel, and spending more time on it. But it sounds like he'd rather not have to draw any more than necessary. And I myself would rather work on a few solo things for awhile.

Thanks for the review

[LOVEBLIMP]

Nice music

I loved the use of Prokofiev in the build up, although I've never seen that piece as particularly hate filled, despite it being the Montagues and Capulets from Romeo & Juliet :P I've always viewed it as more industrial working, belching out smoke and steam. Mind you, you did manage to capture that essence as well.

The love blimp must have some strange sort of gas within, if it can change the attitudes of these obviously male blimps so easily. Some sort of pheromones? Do they make ones that make women drop everything and chase after you? Can you put me in touch with a supplier?

Simple drawings, but I would suggest that you zoom in and use a smaller tool to draw the images - gives you better control and more clarity when you return to the normal size and it makes your lines look better, as well.

Thanks for the review. I haven't heard the song in the context of Romeo & Juliet. I just had it on CD, and I think it was a song on an old videogame (Asterix and Obelix and the Power of the Gods, or something like that =p). I kind of thought of it with the deep strings and the slow processional march feel, but the great thing about it is the interpretation. To be honest, I never actually saw the blimps as having specific genders (despite fighting and war associated with males and pink and love associated with women), so I didn't think of it as the flirtaceous loveblimp wooing over the men with her channel no. 5. And I'm sorry to say that if there were a gas that made women drop everything and run after you, you probably would have known about it by now =P.

The drawing: Yeah, I'm not the overly artistic type, I went for the undertoned rough look because it was quick and (kind of) stylish. I could have gone into more detail, but it was just a quick animation I threw together. Anything I might attempt in the future will be neater. Thanks for the tips.

Cheers.

[Fat, bald soccer player]

Boulevard of broken dreams.

A nice idea, conveyed really well. I'm not exactly sure about the animation style, but for some reason it seems to work, even though my eyes and my brain say it really shouldn't.

The concept is original, as there always seems to be one fat bald guy playing football in the amateur leagues on a Sunday morning. He naturally is going to think that he's a god of the game and that anyone who disagrees can be trampled underfoot.

The punchline was delivered so well, without even a pause. I love the way that the radio is playing the same tune, but you removed the bass from it - it sounds great.

Once he's out cold in the bath tub, I'd have his wife (obviously not as glamorous walk in, turn off the shower, take the football away and shake her head, before turning off the radio and leaving the room.
