[TOME Episode 02]

Incredible.

The falling down joke... brilliant.

[TOME Episode 01]

Let me reason with you.

I'm really disappointed in your ability to not listen to anything at all.

You have two people who have successfully made a career out of animation, joke telling, and design, and these are the two people you're adamantly choosing not to listen to.

I just think you genuinely don't understand anything about direction, story telling, character development, or visual design, but you're convinced that you do.

Your colors suck. Since the first time I ever talked to you I told you your colors suck and they still do. It's not a choice, it's not a "style," they're ugly. There's no harmony. I can't even describe where to start because it's all so wrong. Please paint or... something. Just get a handle on some color theory somehow, read some books, watch Thundercats.

Your characters are 2 dimensional and I find no joy in watching them. Okay, I get it, that was your choice. Great, but it's still boring. I could choose to put dogshit in a soup because it was my intention but it's still going to be disgusting soup. I find your characters' snarky archetypal "personalities" an embarrassing chore to sit through and I think a little humanizing and something any audience can relate to would add to them greatly. Also motivation helps. And backstory. Who are these people? What do they want? What do they like? Why should I like them?

The story... my god, what is even happening? Typically you set up some kind of clear conflict or motivation for the characters right away but, I don't know, nobody seemed to be attempting to accomplish something and none of the characters aahsdhgjhsgljh THIS MOVIE IS A MESS.

But look, I get everything you're trying to do, honestly I do, but you're failing at all of it. Clearly you wanted to write an engaging story and you failed. Clearly you wanted to make likeable characters and you failed. Clearly you wanted to have an appealing "style" that RPG fans can appreciate and you failed.

Your biggest problem is you can't even grasp the concept that you may be really bad at all the things you're trying to do "on purpose" and you're writing any criticism off as people just not getting it: it's not "our thing." Take a step back and realize that there are some people who deserve to be listened to because they know what the fuck they're talking about. They're not being mean, they're just being honest.

Wow

This one is amazing dude. It's super impressive animation-wise. All the weight and the movement agghh so good

TheBoogley responds:

they are a bunch of little fatties, but I don't think it's very appropriate for you to draw attention to their weight. Little blobby guys have feelings too you know... APOLOGISE!

[Multiple Personality Loop]

Brilliant.

This is the kind of stuff I've always wanted to try with color, but never had the balls to study up on. Really fantastic man.

I think it would be really neat if like, to give it a little story, the blobs of color were actually shaped like something, so as if to say "this thing is what makes this guy act like this."

TheBoogley responds:

cheers Arin, I had to teach a class in colour theory a few years ago when the regular teacher went on leave. I was scared to death of getting everything wrong and ended up reading about 5 books on the subject... it's come in surprisingly handy.

A very very true observation, but there's no way in hell I'm changing it now. You can't make me... can you?

[asdfmovie3]

Yeah

I liked it but it had too many non-jokes and go-to timing gags.

[Stamper has no hope in NG]

Yesss

Your voice with that hilarious drawing of tom is the funniest thing. Good work bro.
