Fairy Sorrow

"Patience is not a virtue that I have in abundance."

I don't know much about flash, but I know what I like, and I like this. Now, my problem is that I have now waited for FIVE YEARS to see something new from you. FIVE YEARS. I hate to think you are squandering your animating talents in favor of flipping burgers or something equally silly, so if you are waiting for someone to ask you to make more, consider yourself asked.

If you are done with this and want to animate no longer, well, at least you gave us this. I guess we really can't complain. Thank you.

Hello, dear datatroll!

Frankly speaking this is the first review I answer in five years.

After this toon I had two animating projects, but due to some unpleasant moments of my life, the inspiration has left me... totally. It is like loosing one of the senses, like smell or hearing.

Now I seem to regain the vision of images and stories of the lands of imagination. And at the moment even tend to try and regain my hand-drawing skills.

It's pretty hard, while working as a newly graduated lawyer! :-) Total lack of time makes me spend the only available free time - the lunch breaks, with a pencil and a torn bit of paper.

But, hell! Perhaps I'll get through life's frontiers and complete idiocy of Flash CS4 and publish something with the new style and story. Hope you'll like it!

Thanks for the support! Another thanks of supporting after such an astronomical period of time!

Respectfully yours,
Volo

Tankmen: Incursion

"A noble effort."

Ditch the falling leaves and put camera control in the hands of the player (close, mid, far) and I will come back and give this a ten. Keep working on it until it offers 20 hours of playtime and I will pay you ten bucks to download a copy for myself. Has the potential to be one of the best platformers I have ever played, right up there with the early Mega Man games and Earthworm Jim. Just too frustrating right now to bother with.
Sorry.

KILLROY 10 part 3

"For the record..."

You know, some of your other stuff is pretty cool. But at the end of the day I really wish you would just do more with this clown. Killroy kicks ass.

YAAFM 12: Muslims

"Like it or not..."

submission: YAAFM 12: Muslims

There is no denying that the only reason we bother to give a shit about their religion, rather than just sniveling about oil prices exclusively, is because that part of the world as a whole spends so much time pissing in the pool.

Here in the States we HAVE problems. We have the KKK, we have huge amount of other random racism. We have rioting over dumb shit sometimes. We have international policies that can be, at best, antagonistic. I am proud to be an American not because I think we are perfect, but because as a rule, these types of behavior are considered unacceptable and the vast majority of us do our level best to make it stop. So many places in the world seem to think that things like bombing an embassy over a cartoon printed a thousand miles away should be NORMAL.

For the record, I gave you a rating of 7 not because of any real disagreement I may or may not have had over your subject matter but simply because the animation itself was fairly uninspiring. It was well done within the work it was in, don't get me wrong. But it wasn't in the same league as the things I would put a ten on. Like the Brackenwood series, for example. You can take that any way you want I suppose. Having watched the whole series as you made them I am just going to say that as a whole, I really enjoy LISTENING to them, and your witty commentary is what would get any of them a rating of 8 or 9, where the animation itself would rate maybe a 4. Since the average of these scores would lower your rankings as a whole, I figured I would just put my completely unproffesional an unasked for opinion of the series here, rather than rate them all and lower your stats some miniscule amount across the board.
