Bleak-Creep's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[HOMESTEAD (Student Film)]

Oh wow, this was really, REALLY good. The multimedia visual presentation is stunning and I love the pages of text in the backgrounds that help ground the story with a bit more context.

The looseness of the narrative pairs extremely well with the sparse ambiance of the sound design too. It gives it a really haunting quality; even if all of the imagery itself isn't exactly negative, you really get a sense of the solitude and isolation that these women must have felt as they made the journey out west.

This feels like a huge leap forward for you as an animator and a storyteller. Genuinely powerful stuff.

MayaLaCookie responds:

Thank you Bleak! Honestly this is the kind of stuff I want to aim towards for future animations so I'm glad you enjoyed it!

[Lovely Clover]

Very cute. You really nailed that retro VG cutscene look with this. I wish all the animation looked as polished as the shot where the girl shoves the clovers into her bag, but it's a nice little short all the same. Good work! :)

JRetrioX responds:

I see what you mean. I had a personal deadline for the animation so I didn't have as much time to polish it. It was also the first full-length animation I had made in two years, so I was relearning animation fundamentals while making it. I'll be sure to put extra polish in my future animations when I can. Thank you for your feedback!

I love how you can always it's a Goji animation even from the very first frame. Chill and trippy as always!

Goji responds:

thank you for your support!!! it really means a ton

I don't fully understand this short, but I definitely think there's some cool things going on conceptually, even if they aren't all that clearly defined, and that lineless version below really is visually striking. It's a neat little piece!

CaldoChico responds:

That's completely fair. I feel like it is a bit of mess and functions as a neatish idea but I think I just could have done more in planning or writing to work out the kinks.
It also just feels like old emotions I don't resonate as much with now.
Regardless I think it functions as something to learn from and I really appreciate the kind words and you checking it out Bleak!

Your style on your animations is always such an inspiration. Those moving textures add such a nice visual flair too. Think I'll go ahead and back this thing! :D

D-slick responds:

Oh my god, Thank you so much. That really means a lot. It's a true honor!

[Rushdown Rivals - Alloy Update]

Spotted our girl, Maple, in there! This is just so cool to see!

I definitely to give this game a proper try. I’d only played the little demo from a ways back and it’s clearly come so far since then.

Spagato responds:

We made her as close as possible to the game. Even has the secret big mode :)

[Don't be greedy]

Aw, little pilgrim Sami is so cute! Sweet stuff as always! I love the way you always manage to find a special moment in there no matter how short the cartoon ends up being. :)

SAMI-OURS responds:

For smooth animating, the video is inevitably shortened. But thank you for finding my strengths in that part :) Thank you always! <3

[Mi Tesoro (2022) [My Treasure] | 2D Animated Short Film]

This was lovely. The animation itself could probably use a few more inbetweens, but the art is beautiful, and your story really hits straight to the heart. Very sweet. :)

AriadnaRamos responds:

i agree! wish we had more time to work on it so i could polish the animation, thank you for watching it :) have a nice day

[Blackout]

I love your style, and this was a fun little concept. Could use some more sound effects or music, but nice work all the same. :)

Hanyuurin responds:

Thank you! I admit, back then I didn’t really think much about sound design, just sounds where necessary 😅

[Sami Moments]

Pretty cute for a first attempt at using the 3D Sami. Excited to see what she gets up to on a bigger adventure! :)

SAMI-OURS responds:

More dynamic and rich expressions will be possible. Thank you!
