[XminusOne]

That guys awesome, great work. Really like him a lot.

[JulianoCastro]

hey man! good to see yu around too, and good to se another cartoon entry!

i'll keep watching here...

[XminusOne]

Just having another look because I liked him so much and noticed he doesn't have a whole lot of room in that helmet. You could probably make it a little larger without sacrificing too much of the "look" you have going now. Up to you obviously, I still like it a lot.

[mim-Armand]

Hey! Nice character and I agree with XminusOne too about his air bulb (?!) Btw its nice yet;
looking so funny!
goodluck buddy and keep up it!

,mim

[JRBRAZ]

Thank you Mibus!! You saved my work :beer:

[JurajMolcak]

great you made the deadline. Congratulation. It was fun to watch. There is something that is bringing your and my entry closer - maybe its the point that something "nice" becomes "bad" :)
My only crit will be your soundtrack is fighting a bit with overall artdirection but that is just my taste I guess. Good job, Good luck!

[JRBRAZ]

Thanks JurajMolcak :beer:

Yeah the soundtrack is a shame, because I don't have enough time to finish the sound FX, so I just put a single music on it. But I working on this now, to get a more polish short movie in my portifolio :). And I belive this will make "more understandable" the history too, with the aplause sound in the end, for example.

Who want to see the movie in a better resolution, here is a link:

And thanks for watching :)

[mikebot]

Love your visual style. One of my favorites here.

Glad to hear you're working on sound! Can't wait to see what you end up with.
