Here's a brand new preview of this month's Troll Slayer episode! I think the show finally has a coherent style now that I have the hang of Toonboom's amazing animation tools.

Hehe. Just watched the first two episodes and the third episode preview. I like. The animation kind of bugs me, how he's constantly doing the same expressions and just sort of... bobbing left and right, like a pendulum. >_> Aside from that, though, while this isn't the most creative idea, it has a few laughs in it. The character himself is pretty boring, just a stereotype, which is, of course, entirely the point, but even so, this whole things seems to lack real spirit. I think more body language and not so much, well, repeating expressions and swaying would really help.

Also, the voice is beautifully spot-on. I admit, it's pretty much the whole reason why I stuck around for it. Great voice acting.

Oh, and nice choice of colours for him. It works.

Hey Scented Pliers, thanks for the feedback! I'll keep your comments in mind. I'm pumping these out pretty quick (my goal is once a month and so far I've met that goal) so I reuse a lot of poses and expressions haha. When your character is just sitting in front of a camera there's only so much you can do animation wise.

And yeah, he's basically a stereotype, but I think he's slowly but surely developing into a unique character as we figure his personality out.

[Scented Pliers]

Haha, this one is my favourite. XD Probably in part because I think you're getting into your groove more, and I'm starting to get to know the character and show itself better.

Yeah, I can see what you mean there. The poses in this episode were pretty good, though! It had the same pendulum problem, but overall, I liked the addition of terrified poses and the like in this one. X)

Also, insects are awesome. And so are the wolf spiders that live on my desk. s(~_o)b

[jnethery]

Hmm, ok I'll see what I can do about the pendulum problem.

And yes, insects are awesome And I see those wolf spiders all the time around my place. They're pretty cool.

Nice to see another episode up. ^^ (I swear I'm not stalking you, I just happened to visit this forum's Original Visual section for inspiration and went looking for your videos!) I laughed so hard at it. Maybe because I felt the exact same way when I played Amnesia. XD Right down to the "did I say scared... I meant happy... I want to go give Slenderman a hug" sentiment.

I was starting to laugh at loud when we got to the part with the truck, but I laughed out loud at "FAT MEN WEARING CASUAL CLOTHES" so hard that I started to cry so GOOD JOB. These are definitely getting funnier, lol! Seriously, from about... 9:30 onwards it was completely hysterical.

As a side note, I am reminded of this image:


Hope to see more from you soon! =)

(yes i totally ended up doing just like he did and just... went to go give the enemy in amnesia a hug. NOT AS PLANNED D: )
