FFFFrrraaannnnkkkiiieeeeee!!!!!

Damn Dude! That's some wild stuff. Those character poses are so Forte'd, there's no mistaking the style. I'm looking forward to the day you guys have it on Spike or Adult Swim.

Always rooting for the Forte.

I would like to see it more in the vein of Big daddy Roth. more true to that. i agree with the comments on colour and was rather perturbed (yeah i said it) with the tears from that fellow Seantron. We are all professional people and you have to put it out there and suck up the comments.
Best of luck with it.

I agree with Aaron. Its really easy to criticize, but try to give some advice with the critique. If you don’t like something, don’t just say “it sucks”, but rather what you would do to make it better. Approach it with some class…

being frank is fine, and i'm just happy we haven't devolved to slurs and chest-pounding.

know that anyone who produces a homespun piece of work is that one step further than the arm chair pundits who throw stones.

make more shit, everyone! start drawing and start blowing us all away! (chest thump)

This is my first time posting on the Main page, but it seems as if the comments have gotten really harsh as of late. It's not as if it isn't hard enough to put your stuff out there, but then to be attacked by what seems to be a bunch of bitter animators. Shheesh.

That is the very reason why I haven't posted any of my work on the show and tell page. Because I'm an Amateur.

Can't you not like their stuff in a nice way?

(BTW, I must say that most of the people that I have come across that use their real names have been nothing but nice. This is only for the haters out there.)

This “pilot” is more like a color animatic with some animation. As an animator I try things, some are successful, others are not. Maybe this Outer Space episode doesn’t work as well as I’d liked. Gene and I are in the process of revamping the series and the characters. We both agree it needs a good round of visual development and brainstorming. It’s good to get unbiased third party opinions though.

I totally agree with above statement, this stuff isn’t really good at all. Wasn’t the art from this featured in the 2D Hollywood book? If it’s been floating around for this long, the prospects don’t seem good.

Seems like some one with some talent sat down and animated the characters, but everything else looks like it was done by amateurs!

the rob zombie track was already overused in 2000...it's beyond awful in 2006.

ok so basically the plot is a roach and a..rat fighting in space? with a warners style and gratuitious violence?

I know all you guys are buds and enjoy kissing each others asses, but if you keep coming up with weak ideas then congratulating yourselves, well none of you are ever gonna get a show greenlighted.

and look, I want to see people succeed, but I know you can do better.
