Cyberdevil's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Draw with Jazza!]

I wouldn't be so happy with a YT promo on NG, but that dancing monkey... I mean it is for some greater good, showcasing artists from the community, teaching aspiring artists greater things. :P Nice work, and congrats on what must've been an unexpected daily place!

[The Swell Endeavor]

Seems like all animations like this make me think of The Reward. There certainly are similarities (maybe the music, mostly) but the style of animation is completely different. I like the odd combination of characters that don't look too accomplished and the sense of accomplishment, and it definitely is a swell endeavour, nice work!

I'm honored that my toon is mentioned in the same sentence as The Reward, it quickly became one of my all-time favorite animations. I actually chose the adventurous track because I was inspired by The Reward! Thanks very much for the view/feedback!

Maybe you should make it a bit clearer that the girl is battling against Lukemia? It's easy to see something's happened, but what that is... that's a mystery unless you first read the description. Feels like there's too much holding-head-in-hands and looking miserables when the girl doesn't even look dead at the end. The music works well, and it does seem a bit sad, but it feels it's not as effectual as it could've been with a backstory before the ending. It's just all... ending. Keep it going!

What an awesome mesh of angles and effects this was, each punch seems to be followed by some form of explosion, and it just gets grander and grander the further it goes. Love the evil grin, the mechanical input along with the magical, must've taken quite some time and effort to animate, but the final results are more than worth it. Amazing work!

['The Fish Tower']

Haha, I was going to write that the last blade looked like it was made of cheese, as it turns out... it really was! I'm not sure if this animation is supposed to look creepy or adventurous. When the creey music kicked in around the title, I decided it was supposed to be creepy, but that atmosphere never really settled. Maybe it's the decisive stride of the main character, or the big comical eyes that even the monsters in the story weirld, not sure what it was, but through it didn't get creepy it was plenty exciting. Final scene takes my mind to RPGs. Nice work!

Butzbo responds:

Heh, you have a good point there. The original plan was to make it mostly creepy, but then the ending I had planned (finding the sword) wasn't fitting at all with the same atmosphere, so I ended up changing (a bit suddenly) the mood of the animation by that part.
Maybe it could've worked better if I could've given some more time to build up the tense atmosphere on the beginning.
Well, as it's possible to guess, a big part of my work is influenced by videogames, mostly RPGs!
Thanks for the review!

[PeanutButter Fish Pockets]

Woo, another grand invention that's rpobably never really going to see the light of day. Plenty of creatively bizarre ideas in this, great voice acting, great animation. The dead pigeon in dog poop, lmao, fun stuff. Keep it going!

Starktoons responds:

Thanks! more toons coming!

[Green Sky]

A story with a moral. I don't see any contaminated lakes, nor many casualties, and the scenery can be rather bland at times, but still, it's a sad story. The atmosphere builds up through the simplest events. Nice work!

[Monster Raiders EP2]

Nice, I like the style of animation, reminds me of anime from the eighties, the characters are all simple and effectual, and both cute and a bit ridiculous in the same time, which I guess they're meant to be. Being new to this series, I appreciate the intro at the start, even though it's rather long for a quick intro. The series overall has a somewhat slow pace to it, things don't seem to happen at their natural speed, but at the same time this reminds of regular series. The voice acting and music all fits in great. Will be looking forward to the next one!
