First episode isn't the most animation intensive, but they'll get better as I get used to animating. Hope you guys enjoy.

You already know I'm a fan and I enjoyed this a lot. Also the animation looks great. Since I can only compare it to DBA. I must say this was better BECAUSE this animation Doesn't look DEAD

That was cool! :clap:
James Teal (Animerica 1996) wrote:When you think about it, there are a number of similarities between the Chinese-inspired Son Goku and that most American of superhero icons, Superman. Both are aliens sent to Earth shortly after birth to escape the destruction of their homeworlds; both possess super-strength, flight, super-speed, heightened senses and the ability to cast energy blasts. But the crucial difference between them lies not only in how they view the world, but in how the world views them.

Superman is, and always has been, a symbol for truth, justice, and upstanding moral fortitude–a role model and leader as much as a fighter. The more down-to-earth Goku has no illusions about being responsible for maintaining social order, or for setting some kind of moral example for the entire world. Goku is simply a martial artist who’s devoted his life toward perfecting his fighting skills and other abilities. Though never shy about risking his life to save either one person or the entire world, he just doesn’t believe that the balance of the world rests in any way on his shoulders, and he has no need to shape any part of it in his image. Goku is an idealist, and believes that there is some good in everyone, but he is unconcerned with the big picture of the world…unless it has to do with some kind of fight. Politics, society, law and order don’t have much bearing on his life, but he’s a man who knows right from wrong.

Hmmmm.... I don't really have an opinion on the animation just yet. Since it's just a minisode setting up the tone for series and there was very little actual animation (which is completely understandable), I can't really judge anything. I'll be keeping an eye on it nevertheless.

I do have a question, who did the background and space art?

I take back what I said then, I do have an opinion on the short; I really liked the background art. I'm not really great when it comes to environments or digital painting but I think you did a really good job here.

That would be awesome, but I'm trying to avoid the 'Absalon Syndrome', in which it takes over a year to make one episode

Anyone who has seen me on here knows I take an objective look at all critiques both negative and positive. Mellavelli just lashes out at everyone 'cause he had his head up his own ass.

Looks really good so far! I remember you posting a test animation for this before. As a fellow animator/artist, would you ever be up for posting about your process/what programs you use/etc? Looks like Adobe Flash for the characters, if so, what settings did you use? Brush tool? Pencil tool? Sorry for all the questions, I've just been looking for new ways to animated myself :P

All the animation frames were done in Photoshop Elements 8. All the audio was mixed in Audacity. The movie was edited/ timed in Windows Movie Maker. So... Besides Elements, all my programs are free lol
