[Punk Ass Pirate Donkey]

The action scenes are so well boarded, paced, and choreographed my lord this goes hard

JazLyte responds:

Thankya! Action choreo's what I love most, glad it's hittin <3

[Troyal of the Century]

Major props to the voice actors, godDAMN they sold the characters. The art and animation were a fun take on the Simpsons style too. Cool stuff yo

Edit: WOW ok completely missed the description where one man did all the voice acting. You’re one talented dude Jayden !

TmsT responds:

No voice actorS -- we're allowed ONE!

That's right, all the voices were performed by just one person (Jayden Libran)!

[Failing Upward: All My Friends]

This has got a lot of potential. I enjoy how human the characters are with the way they are written and they way they act. That sincerity kept me interested, but I'd definitely try and take further advantage of the visual medium you're working with. Jaime-R kinda carried with his surreal portions, but not even just because it was so technically well done. What was being animated was just very visually interesting and I think you could incorporate that more into the rest of the animation.

Like even during scenes where they're just talking on the phone, I think you could show more angles of the characters' respective environments and maybe play more with color palettes. The best aspect of the phone conversation was how real the dialogue felt, so why not compliment that by showing the audience relevant visual information? Maybe while they talk about nerd stuff, you can show the dude's posters or maybe he's wearing nerdy socks as he takes a seat in his star wars beanbag or something. Doesn't need to be anything fancy, but if you give us a better physical glimpse into their environments then we'll begin to feel more attached and interested in what's happening. Hell, maybe even do some mild camera movements to keep the audience's eyes from glazing over while they talk.

Pretty lengthy comment sorry but there's so much good stuff here that I'd love to see y'all flesh this out even further! Hope to see more in the near future & best of luck with this project :D

WaeBakStudios responds:

I totally agree. We have a bit more fun in the second episode, specifically in JC's opening. It'll be posted here soon, but it is on Youtube. I'm glad you dug this though!

[GAS PUMP-CHUMP]

I love this so much. I will show this to all the local gas station employees in my area.

MaxJohnsonINK responds:

Thanks! They will all enjoy it, I think. Except for that one… he might do something really, really terrible.

[PIZZA TIME!]

This is like The Noid but cooler

brwler responds:

Thriftman responds:

[The Picnic]

Plot twist: After handing his friend the hot dog, he stands up revealing the 12 inch spiked dildo he was sitting on the whole time

SoraNgin responds:

The extended ending I almost made was him walking over to give him the hot dog, and the baskets just dangling from his weiner.

[In A Blue Balloon]

Absolutely incredible stuff as always dude! Just wanna note that with the 3D hallway walk cycle; next time you do one you should manipulate the frames of the 3D hallway to match the movement of your character since Lucy's feet kinda slide around for that part.

AntonM responds:

cheers!! yeah gotta learn way more about this 3d stuff

[The Tale of Arnold Fossor]

This is fucking amazing

MaxJohnsonINK responds:

[Gone Rotten]

AntonM responds:
