Reviews for "Pyromane"

I am absolutely stunned. Hell, I can't believe this happened. ZeTrystan made an animation. And by god, for a first proper frame-by-frame animation, this looks incredible considering. It helps that you're already damn good at drawing and making illustrations and stuff, but watching this shows you have real skill.

Artistically, I always thought your art style would fit a full animation really well, and by god, I was fuckin right. I have seen so many first tries, but yours genuinely doesn't look like a first try. I'm not just sayin' that either. I have seen animators on here who have made animations for years, but never got their work to look this unique, and this visually beautiful, in their entire collection of work. Let alone on their first whack at it.

Honestly, the framework and use of colour was amazing. The colouring was kept minimalist and yet visually relaxing and worked well for what the animation had in mind. The music choice was weird, but I liked it! The fucking fire effects mate... It looks so good. Even the sound mixing is good. It works with the simplicity of the visuals really well, and it meshes together to create a great short animation.

Genuinely so happy to see this from you. It certainly isn't perfect, but for a first time for doing it? Pretty damn good. Animation takes a very VEEEERRY long time. I half-recommend doing animation because animation sucks your soul. Your very being. But you also get a lot out of doing it. You become better at the craft, and I feel you can only get better. This screams potential, and I am hyped to see what comes next, if there is a next :).

Seriously, good work, old friend!

ZeTrystan responds:

I know right? I MADE AN ANIMATION. It's weird! Who knows... maybe it's because you started making a lot of work on your side... I was jealous and needed to catch up to you. (haha)

Seriously, dude, you're WAY too kind. I mean, if giving compliments was a crime, you'd be in prison for life!

The song is actually a song singing about a pyromaniac! It makes more sense in french, I suppose. :D And thanks! I tried to make something simple enough to help me finish it at time for my class, but still visually nice. Happy it worked!

Who knows, maybe there will be something more, one day. I love trying new things, and with time I hope I'll get better.

Thanks for the eternal awesome long comment, Retro. ;)

well that escalted quickly....

ZeTrystan responds:

Not quickly enough! \o/

Deep.

ZeTrystan responds:

Like, symbolism and stuff!

Shows potential as it explains the true meaning of life in a more altrouistic way.
(That means it is random)

ZeTrystan responds:

Of course. The metaphysic concept of time, space and love is explored in all its complexity.
(I second that)

This was simple and very nice! I love it, and it's cute and funny too! :) love the music as well, 5 stars!

ZeTrystan responds:

Well thanks! :D Happy you had fun watching it!
