[Yoshiko Animation: Showreel 2011 - 2017]

It's always amazing to see how much people have improved over the years. To be honest, all of these clips, especially the one from 2011, were pretty much perfect for that time. Good work, man!

Yoshiko-Animation responds:

Thank you so much <3 That's so nice of you. I'm glad you like it :)

[Bubbles Away Speedpaint]

Pure genius. I love how you made all of this. Space or night-sky themed drawings are the toughest jobs that artists have faced, and you nailed this one. However, to my honest opinion... You may have overdone the blending and the blur tool a slight tad. It looks a lot like everything is consumed by a big gas cloud. But, still, seriously well done! I want to be like you when I grow up! :)

Great job, you made me use the :) smiley. That's already a big achievement, because you made me happy with what you did.

MysticalKittian responds:

Apologies this is so late! >^<

Thank you, and now that I think about it maybe I kinda did. XD

Anyways thank you! :D

Your artstyle is something I really admire. It's almost photo-realistic, even the earth looks very well done, almost like the one we're standing on. However, the zooming in and zooming out can use a bit of work, because it looks more like a transition of layers zooming in and out. Next, the music being played isn't in a very good loop. But, as I said before, this animation has extraordinary art.

[How to draw skulls]

Pretty useful tutorial. I'll be sure to make use of this when I'm drawing some macabre-themed stuff :)

Animation-S responds:

cooool!!!! :D

[The Archer Girl - Crisis]

It has that pretty impressive display to it. The sounds, and background music, along with the parchment-like paper background. But, the voice isn't exactly the best, unfortunately. It's something with the mic a bit. It gives out that echo-ish feeling. But, other than that, I am completely looking forward to this animation.

Wondermeow responds:

Thank you for your feedback will keep you posted.

Kind regards,

[Electrical Energy Story]

Very well done, and interesting too. It has a very whimsical and educational side to it, which pleases me, because everyone's a sucker for cute things. You gave me quite the scare, though, in the beginning. The voice appeared all so suddenly, without even a proper introduction. But, that's not quite necessary.

Good animation, and a good voice are then things I love here. In fact, I don't see anything wrong with this one. Great work! Keep this up.

Animation-S responds:

<3 thank you! :) The animation was part of a video game with broken up clips. The intro is another file...on the way! :)

[Mike Tyson's Punch Out Guide To Exercising]

You know, making Little Mac get beat up to a pulp wouldn't have gotten you a great animation just like this. This is pretty educational, and interesting too. Well done.

[REDACTED: Infection Trailer]

It's an alright bit of animation, but what bums me out is that the music overlaps when you press play one more time. Time to get your sound-kit and see what you can do about that :\

Amtemeri responds:

I'm not good with soundtracks is the problem.
Edit: I left in a reference if you can find it ;)

[Space Train]

It's got some really good art, and I like the background to it. It feels so sleek, that I think I'm in heaven. One thing, though. The character up front isn't that much for animation. It's all just head bobbing and the rest of the body is looking a bit static, meaning that it doesn't move much. And, I have my doubts that anyone would like to watch a minute long clip where nothing happens. But, that doesn't mean you made the character look bad, for the designs you put up to make it was really nice. The shading catches my eye. Overall, you did it well.

oODaBadgerOo responds:

That's very helpful feedback. It will be one of a few backgrounds to stream music to so I didn't want it to be too distracting. Might take this character a bit further though. Thanks again!

[Ed, Edd n Eddy in 2017]

I remember watching this show while I was a kid. It inspired me a lot, and this is a nice little throwback to something in the past. Great animation, sweet character design, and they look completely identical, and maybe much better and more modern than the original show. Well done!
