[Adolf Hitler:CAI493+D 124]

Blondie would have suited

Why has Hitler got blue hands and a black face, instead of purple hands and face, to match Jynx?

Not sure what the music is, but you've certainly got a taste for the orient, where a tune by Blondie would have been better suited. Thank fuck you didn't is all I can say, as Blondie sucks big time.

Liked the touch of giving him the Blonde mustache as well. it fits quite nicely.

AfroUnderscoreStud responds:

The original design of the Pokémon Jynx bore a striking, but possibly coincidental, resemblance to entertainers in blackface. A strong case can be made for Jynx being a parody of or homage to the Japanese Ganguro and Yamanba fashion trends, which were extremely popular when Pokémon was first released, but it can't be denied that blackface-influenced characters have appeared elsewhere in anime and manga - examples can be found near the beginning of Osamu Tezuka's early graphic novel, Metropolis and also can be found with Dragon Ball Z's Mr. Popo.

As Pokémon became more popular in the US, this perceived similarity to a racist image from America's past offended some. In particular, it had offended children's book author Carole Boston Weatherford, who accused Jynx of being a racist stereotype in an article titled Politically Incorrect Pokémon in the magazine Black World Today, shortly after the anime episode Holiday Hi-Jynx aired. Episodes later on are also either banned or cut in USA.

In response to this controversy, in 2002, Nintendo changed Jynx's face from black to purple and its hands from blue to purple in Pokémon games, a change which would be reflected in the anime three years later in Advanced Generation.

MetaPEApod!

Well, this was a simple conversion for Hitler. I'd suggest that you look in the background, as there are two concealed troopers from 22-regiment SAS. Watch out, or they will slot Hitler, before he gets a chance to complete his pokedex :P

I feel I should slate the people at Nintendo for this particular flash, because the Caterpie is a much better image than that of Metapod. Evoloution means to make better, so why haven't they?!

Because newer isn't always better.

FUCK NO!

Man, I was expecting something for my special day / number thing. Awful music and a Welsh Pokemon?! What the fuck?!

Anyway, aside from me not being impressed by a Welsh (Leek-wielding) pokemon, I'd like to draw your attention to a couple of potential errors:

1) The wings are in the worng orientation. Rotate them around the 'z' axis about 20-30 degrees and they'd fit on Hitler's back better.

2) The beak is missing a black line for where the top and bottom join together.

If we had these two things dealt with, I'm not sure it would make any difference to the quality of the flash, but it would make me feel better about being affronted by a Welsh bird on number 83.

Blame Nintendo.

Brylcream?

How does Hitler keep those spikes every morning? Are we talking a ludicrous marketing contract for some hair care product?

Still need to work on the left hand outline - I think that you could zoom in and get a closer outline, before applying the paintbrush in that liberal style of yours.

At least the horns and spine don't look as odd as the blue rhino thing (Sorry for confusing, but that's the search engine's fault, not mine :P)

AfroUnderscoreStud responds:

I actually have the colour all over Hitler initally and then erase what's not needed.

[Adolf Hitler:CAI493+D 111]

Horny teenagers :P

Wow, Mousse T. Vs. Hot 'n' Juicy takes me back a decade or so. Fucking hell.

Anyway, the drawing of Hitler is what really needs some work. Are you editing it in Flash, Photoshop or MS Paint?! The outlines of his left hand seem to have gone all funny and he looks like he's a victim of Chernobyl, rather than a fear dictator from the 30s and 40s.

The horn looked a little odd as well - maybe make the moustache a little bulkier, so that it downplays the odd factor.

AfroUnderscoreStud responds:

Photoshop, although sometimes it's touched up a little in Flash afterwards.

[Adolf Hitler:CAI493+D 010]

Um...

Not sure that I've ever seen a flash movie with a more detailed preloader than the actual flash itself, except than by yourself.

My god Craig how far you have come. I think that over time your alterations to Hitler have (marginally) improved and that the drawing of the eyes that you did for him in this one were particularly wrong. Clearly 4 months is a long time in flash artistry terms.

Sometimes, short is best.

This is a well animated little animation, with a decent joke and good delivery. When the woman says "Let's have sex" I decided that it was probably time for me to put down my food, because things could get ugly. Clearly, I underestimated you and your sense of humour.

I'm looking forward to seeing more of your work, the movement was smooth and the drawing looks nicely done as well. Now maybe the next step is to get some sort of series going?

Bizzare

Love is all he needs? He's got what he needs then :P

How many old women have you looked at in your experience? That woman's breasts stuck out of her chest and then bent down at right angles, which as far as I am aware isn't how tits act under the influence of gravity.

I quite liked the joke, but I thought that the flash deserved more than just this one joke with the crash. Overall, I liked it, but it was a little too short for my tastes.
