[My Clay House Episode03]

Good this was great

I really loved this. You addition of storyline and explanation of the anarchy factions really helped to build on the war that is building in the Clay house. It would be really funny if for some reason all of the factions were united against Bob but I hope you have better ideas than I can suggest. Nice work. I may be updating my own recent flash game WhAcK A MoUsE to also include a claymation about why I would ever want to whack my cute clay mouse.

Congrats on your continual improvement!

Phill64 responds:

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it, you wouldn't believe how many deleted scenes and batteries i killed on this one.

I've been waiting for someone to ask/comment about a war ;) And i'm glad you find my episodes to be improving on themselves.

[PTTY: Grade 9]

Do keep up the portfolio...

You got a good head on your shoulders. I agree this is a definite way to shine when you go for your college interviews to various art and design colleges. I think you are showing some vast improvements and should continue to exploit how you are growing to a mature flash artist.

One suggestion don't short change yourself from mastering actionscript it will help you in the long run!

swiftstylerX responds:

Hmmm, I may try to learn some AS in the future, if it's going to improve my chances of getting the scholarship, and if I learn a lot and it can help out my animating, then I'll definitely been learning a lot more than I have.

[Sweet Revenge!]

Its an execellent start

This was good so hat's off to you. My only complaint besides it being short was just the length of time for the zoom out on the wound. It would have just been as good with either less frames of multiple jump shots.

I will be happy to see you continue to improve.

H-W-T responds:

Thanks!

And i thought the overall length was too short as well but i wanted to get this one out the way and see what people think so i can make a proper one with story.

And the wound bit i wasn't sure bout either i only thought it felt long because i kept watching it to see if it looked right but i was wrong lol.

Thanks!

[Santa and the Hebrew]

A well animated short

I have no complaints at the amount of work put in the animation of this piece whatsoever. Yet, Santa Claus is a commercial symbol of Christmas not close to the most important. Christ is a Hebrew hero whether the Jewish community wants to admit it or not. They may not call him their messiah but Christianity is a branch of Judaism not some freak phenomena. It is a Hebrew religion deeply rooted in Hebrew culture not Santa Claus which is a Western symbol. I agree Christmas is a Western holiday born to destroy of the pagan celebration of the solstice.

Your animation is sweet but your thought process shows a lack of understanding of the connections between Judaism and Christianity. Without a Hebrew, there is no Christmas and no Christianity.

evolart responds:

I mean i really dont care. Its a christmas flash.

[My Clay House Episode01]

Somebody can overachieve

This aint your early newgrounds knox work. This is totally original and I happy to see someone create their own madness. Although killing claymen is no new thing, you methods of madness certainly hit the spot. I also like it how much you keep your character moving.

Nice work... The only thing you can do is continually improve!

Phill64 responds:

Thank you for taking the time to review me. It's great to here positive feedback i'm glad you enjoyed the clip.

I would like to thank you further though, for giving me some constructive feedback, keeping the action moving around was a key point i was trying for and i'm glad you noticed.

I will certainly do my best to improve the series as i go along, positive remarks such as yours are good fuel for the fire, i just hope your expectations aren't too high next time around :)

[KILLROY 8]

Another well developed and orchestrated Killroy!

I loved how Killroy just seemed so uninterested in this villain's play with his mind. I also like it how lame you make villains out to be. It was pretty stylized and I knew Mr. Mysterious was going end up dead but I liked how Killroy held out from just taking him out.

You are really developing Killroy well and each episode really helps this series keep an original charm.

Thanks for another great episode.

Uptown-SlimJim responds:

I appreciate that. You know what I also appreciate? When people don't spoil most of the story in their review.

But yeah, thanks for noticing how I try to keep it fresh each time. It's not easy, and a lot of the success comes from using a different villain each time.

[Book-Man Episode 6]

A loveable story and witty end

I have always liked your style Gary. The thing I like the most is that this can come from only one mind. You truly are blessed with more talent then you realize. I hope to see new stuff just a witty and funny as Book-Man.

Of course there are many ways to revive a hero but it is only the mastery of Gary Marston that could bring him back.

I liked in this episode how you introduced us to Book-man's secret super power of speed reading. I also like the re-introduction of all your fabulous creations in your Book-man world.

If you ever need a voice or an animator my offer still stands. I would love to help you in a collaboration.

Thanks for an enjoyable series.

CustardCartoonsInc responds:

Tonio, thank you so much! I would love for you to help me! I am going to start a much more funny and bigger project than book-man.

Lets just hope this survives or I'm fucked!

[A Phoenix Wrong Tribute]

It was half and half

I was really considering blamming this piece seriously. The beginning really overall was failing. Plus you did one of the parodies already portrayed in another Phoenix Wrong (the Weird Al one.) The second half is where you shined. Don't resort to text it ruins it and especially no customizing the sprites with nose bleeds it really hurt it.

The magic really lies in your ability to compile your material.

Kitsunedai responds:

Alright, thanks for the review. I'll try to improve when, or if, I do a next one.
