B I G if boy.

Fantastic art style, as always! :)

[Bob Ross Beats the Devil Out of It 2]

This whole thing is amazing. Really fantastic work ya got here, front to back. Loved every minute of it. It started out really awesome, when Bob pulls the paintbrush out and smacks it around on the ground I got a good laugh. Then the ending almost made me tear up. Great job :)

[Shrek_Scene64]

The differences between this piece and that scene from the original Shrek film are very subtle. In fact, for some time while watching this I was certain that I was in fact watching that scene the original Shrek film, but nay, I was instead watching a fan animation based around that scene in the original Shrek film.

As always, the editing in this makes my blood feel good. It's exactly what it needs to be.
Really like the mixing of mediums.
Only complaint is Shrek's voice was pretty hard to understand throughout the whole thing, maybe some subtitles would have helped, and also offered potential for jokes.

Good work <3

Love you Bubbo!!!!

[Interface | Episode 02]

So I loved every bit of the first episode. The art style is absolutely amazing, and the bizarre nature of all of it is exactly the kind of thing I love. Then, when you took me to Montreal in this episode, I was just in awe. If this wasn't already perfect for me, it ended up somewhere I used to live. The cross on mont royal, the olympic stadium, the museum of fine arts, all places I've personally been to and have a real connection with. Never had that happen in anything I've watched before. This is some really awesome stuff, I can't wait to see where this is going. Please keep up the great work, and good luck!

Cheers man, happy you liked it. :)

[007 1 hour challenge]

Been watching all of these as you've been posting them, don't think I've commented yet though. I think this one is the best so far, the water animation is damn near perfect, in my opinion. I mean, sure it's "rough" as far as the line work goes, but given that you only had an hour, I think the fluidity of it is fantastic. What really irks me about this though is how you chose to reveal the inside of the cup. It's only one frame between seeing the side of the cup to seeing inside the cup. I think it would have been way better to change the opacity of the front layer gradually instead of all at once. The only other thing is the end of the water stream looks kind of weird to me in how it's essentially a rectangle. I feel like it should be either rounded or pointed, not exactly sure which. Anyway, this one turned out really well, so good job!

Simrick responds:

I personally don't think that it came out very well but that could just be the fact that I spent the first 15 minutes working it out and undoing stuff but thanks for they encouragement.

If I were to do something like this again with more time I don't think I would of thought to do that opacity thing; but now that you say it\ it seems obvious so thanks for they tip!

Lastly I don't actually know why I had it in my head that water is that shape when it comes down? If I had of done almost any other shape it would of been better! even a hexagon may of been better :D

Thanks for they motivation and I hope you enjoy my newest one as well ;)

[STAIRS]

Absolutely incredible. One of my favourite things I have ever seen on Newgrounds, honestly. This is just so up my alley I don't even know where to begin, it's as if you made this just for me. I am entirely in love with the blending of styles here, the 2D, the 3D, the clay, the I-Don't-Even-Know-What, it all works so well and I'm incredibly impressed with how you pulled it off. Not to mention the sound design, which compliments it all so well. I was hooked right away, but when I saw the hallway scene I was just all in, such an interesting angle and approach to that part. And the angles! All through this thing! Just fantastic, truly. I loved every second of this, thank you so much for sharing it here.

PhoomSewer responds:

Thank you so much, that really means a lot! Glad you enjoyed it! I cant wait to make more stuff like this soon.

[Viscera]

Just brilliant. I can't even begin to describe how much I relate (as much as I don't really want to admit that). The animation style is fantastic as ever, just really well done. The way the characters spoke in the dream was a great touch too. Excellent work all around!

sadtape responds:

Thanks so much, glad you liked it and really glad you can relate!

[Night Terrors]

I love it. Thegamingtrickster said it was too short, but I really like how fast it all is, makes it feel more frantic, like a bad dream. My favourite part is probably the clown just because it's such a cool transition but I really like the Alice-in-Wonderland-y part afterward. Really cool work with the smears too. Nice job :)

WillsRandomArtwork responds:

In a big way I wanted more into it, but I also was going for fast and crazy. Thanks!
