Really crappy Sam and Max Flash Animation

edited April 2010 in Sam & Max
I put it here just because... well... I get inspired to try to learn this stuff again by reading posts here... and, appart, I don't really know anybody who can help me improve in this stuff, so, here we go. Any constructive critic is encouraged.

I grab a sample of Max's voice from the Games using the telltale sound extractor, and I tried to "animate it". I was planning to continue the conversation, but, it's about time to go to bed. And since people here care about my sleep time...


Try number 1. I warned you! It's really crappy

    Aww ... you're like a mini-Majus! Although I'm a bit disturbed by bishie Sam. (Hey, Sam actually looks kind of SIX FOOT TALL DOG. STOP THINKING THAT NOW.)

    That probably is because I draw him like three heads and a half wide for some reason I still cannot figure out ("bishie" manga style, for call it in a way, has that "proportions". Or at least CLAMP's). Also because my style is in the middle road of been cute and rounded...

    Well, at least you didn't give him glasses, then I'd have really been done for. (You know, if in the future you feel like drawing broad shouldered human guys with glasses let me know, okay? ;) ) You really did do a good job though. Max's ears look slightly demonic, but otherwise I'd say you did a fantastic job. It's very lively and expressive and nicely animated.

    It's great! Goes really smooth and the expressions are well done.

    Yeah it’s good! Many animations in there and no »I only animate the mouth«-lazyness. And if you want to improve yourself, just make another one, and another one, and another one, and another one… gets better and better.

    Okay Ginny, you have officially been praised. Now go do as Majus said and animate more cartoons to entertain us with! *whiplash!*

    Yeah, I notice that. Now I'm wondered if that was a good idea...

    At least I have motivation...

    That in fact is a mistake... I was so into the animation that the drawings are much more fast than usual.

    My favourite Max expression is where he gestures with his right paw (coincides with "avoided"). Very cute. :)

    Ah, I love broad-shouldered guys with glasses... and just guys with glasses... and, well, guys in general really. :p

    They're talking about us, men. They seem to react positively to our visual maladies and ample bone structures. Commence ego-driven fist bumps. Allllriiiiight.

    Hey! I finished (Somehow).

    I added a Replay button just for the sake of adding it.

    "Enjoy". (It's the same link, which mean you can watch it from the first post too ^^!)

    Awesome. Loved the part where Sam says "Jersey Devil! Jersey Devil!".

    Aww I thought it was pretty cute for one of your first attempts at a flash film. And I agree with Falanca that the "Jersey Devil" animation was funny. :D So all in all great job. :cool:

    Aww ... I don't think I've ever seen Max look embarrassed about anything before! You made him look so sweet :)

    And I'm glad we were able to massage your egos, guys. The male ego is so fragile and delicate a thing, like a beautiful, masculine flower, and I am happy to play gardener :p

    Yeah, quite impressive drawings Ginny. Keep up the good work!

    Just wondering, if you could give me a link to where you got the Telltale sound extractor that you used (as I'd know it would be reliable), thanks in advance. :)

    Hey, that's REALLY impressive! I love how you made it so lively, even while the other one was talking, the quiet character was moving and making expressions, too.
    I especially love how you animated Sam's dialogue. :D Wow, I wish I could be able to animate like this! I don't even know how to use Flash. XD

    Hey, maybe you should try and animate the song we made (Icedhope and I). :D

    I have a bad feeling about this I meeeeeeeeaaaaaannnn, you know, I was planning to ask to you eventually, That song was in fact one of the reasons why I started to learn flash again but I was planning to build some more skill levels in flash before even ask to you.

    Now I did the disclaimer and you asked to me directly, is everything I need in the post? Or Do I need to know something else? (Just in case, that is a "yes, sure ^^!")

    It's not crappy. It's adorable. 8D
    And yeah, I agree that we need more animations from you. :p

    I...I...

    ...I thought that during the whole two seasons >.> He looks so sexy (to me) and that disturbs me so much >_<

    I tell myself it's the voice. Just the voice. Yeah, that's right.

    I think it's just the lack of sexier males. He ends up being the closest thing there is to sexy. Plus he's so cute. And very huggable.
    And he plays the Banjo.

    I thought Max was the one who appeals to females.
  • AvistewAvistew

    To fictional females, maybe :P

    Max is awesome in a very different way, but I'd never ever want to try and cuddle him.

    That was a good flash. I liked Max's expressions.

    Sam is one of my favourite characters ever, especially the Telltale version of him. I can't say I find him physically attractive -- I really can't, I'm asexual -- but I do have a thing for big, dorky characters.

    Max, I think, is a bit too cartoony even if you can find Sam attractive.

    I don't know, Sam is the "manlier" one who has a more logical view at things. Dudes can emphatize him well. Max looks... well, hideously cute and "marketable". Everyone that has a feminine side (also a liking to sarcasm may be required) can find Max actually quite adorable. He IS a rabbit-y thing, after all. Girls dig rabbits.
  • AvistewAvistew

    Max is too creepy. His teeth scare me, they would hurt. If you dated him, he'd probably kill you halfway through the date, too.

    He's adorable as anything that's not alive, like a plushie or whatever, but I'd never want to be near the real thing without Sam to protect me.

    Sam is adult-sized instead of kiddie-sized, which, as far as being sexy, always helps. He's got a deeper voice, that's sexy too. He's more dependable (in comparison) and I wouldn't be as scared of him just shooting me or biting my head off. He's less unpredictable, therefore less scary.
    He also looks more like a human, somehow, probably the proportions. Or the fact that he wears clothes.

    Girls dig rabbits, sure. But do they have sex with them?
    If we're talking about being cute, adorable, and freaky, then sure, Max wins.
    If we're talking about being cuddly, warm, sexy (comparatively), and having qualities that could be looked for in a human being, Sam wins.

    I can't believe we're having this discussion.
