Anja is a good girl

Not often we see variants getting the love they deserve.

Ahhhaha, to be the friend of that anja! So playful, yet so in control o.o… that story had me goofy smiling being in the shifted perspective.

Oh my gosh this is delightfully wholesome!

This is a massive step up! Well done to the both of ye.

half a year without major animations. I don't mind small animations. But they only tease and do not bring satisfaction. Look at a beautiful character for 40 seconds and that’s it. Previously, you released animations that were 15-16 minutes long. They came out with a lead time of 2-3 months. Now there are a lot of small 30-40 second animations and not one big one in half a year. Dude. I like your creativity, but stop teasing the expectation and go back to your roots. You were loved for your great animations, this can be seen from the number of likes. Long ones collect more than short ones. Short animations are made by the vast majority of animators. They loved you because you brought your characters to life and revealed them in a 15-minute video.

This looks like bait, but since I collaborated in the making of this animation and I don't have much to do at this hour, I'll bite.

Literally, who are you to demand this kind of things from any artist? Do you know how long it takes to animate that? how much time and resources it takes to render it? Do you know all the technical difficulties we had to go through to make this animation in particular? How much work we spent on importing the maps, models, textures and everything from this game?

Going by all your previous comments on this site, you had at least 3 years to learn Blender and make your own, perfect animations. You have no excuse. What have you been doing all this time?

JESUS CHRIST FUCKING TELL HIM DUDE!

Wonderfully wholesome and excellently animation; great use of sounds too.
You rock!

I mean you Can't Rush Art, And looking at all of his videos.. He does a Great Job at doing them, But yeah they Take ALOT of resources to do and Awfully alot of time to Make the creatures feel Real.. even in these Short collaboration animations..

Ivory if you see this, including Pb..
You guys do a Very good job at animating these!

But yeah it's Hard work to Make 11 SFM or Blender Videos with Monster Hunter creatures as they have alot of Animation, including the Depth perception and the Light/Shadow's to put in for them.. and knowing how they move exactly too...

Like The old man from toy story 2 said
"You can't Rush Art.."

I'm a fireman and I've been getting people out of burning houses all these years. My criticism was constructive and reasonable. And you just run over. I saw what animations he did before and what animations he does now. Go to his profile and see what animations people like best. You will immediately understand that they love him in 15 minute videos. His characters are alive and even without sound in these videos, he conveyed the emotions of his characters. Now he only teases us with short animations. I'm really looking forward to a new 15 minute animation from him. If I want to look at a 30 second animation, I will go to other Authors. I'm not downplaying his work. It’s just that previously 15-minute videos were released every 2-3 months. Now I've been waiting for more than 6 months and sometimes a long animation. I want to see story and character development and not a 20 second swallowing video. Where are the preludes, where is the communication between the characters who were there before? And stop blaming people, if a person hasn’t mastered Blender, it doesn’t mean that it’s useless. This person will then pull you out of the house and pump you out when you inhale carbon monoxide.

Again, who are you to demand such things? We create content because we like to do it, and we are kind enough to share it with others for free. One thing is giving feedback to improve our work, which is always welcome. Another different thing is what you're doing: complaining that it doesn't meet your "expectations". And you keep complaining about time and deadlines. Again, who are you, What makes you think we do art for you? I don't recall PB or I signing any contract stating that every 3 months we would release a 15 minutes long animation with story, sounds, character development, starring Knuckles and Dante from the Devil May Cry series. You also have NO IDEA what happens to us IRL that may impact the amount of content we can produce. We are human, not a machine. We also don't make art to see funny internet points going up, so that doesn't even matter.

You're free to do so.

Now I've been waiting for more than 6 months and sometimes a long animation. I want to see story and character development and not a 20 second swallowing video. Where are the preludes, where is the communication between the characters who were there before?

I've been waiting, I want to see, me me me me. You should consider throwing huge amounts of money to us or any other artist for things that YOU want. We wanted to do short, fun, and cute animations as we worked to improve and learn a lot of things that will help improve the quality of our artwork, as you can see in these animations. Don't you see there's an increase in the quality compared to the first things we released? Bah, what am I saying? You don't care about that.

And stop blaming people, if a person hasn’t mastered Blender, it doesn’t mean that it’s useless. This person will then pull you out of the house and pump you out when you inhale carbon monoxide.

Then apply it to yourself. Imagine that after saving me from a fire for free, I complain that you should have done it faster and with style, that I waited too long, that you used to put out the fire in less time and now I lost all my belongings thanks to you. Me complaining about the work you do for passion. See? It sucks. If you can't see it, then you better change the way you express yourself or simply stop commenting on other people's work. Because again, it's just a matter of reading your previous comments on this site.

You speak sound logic, and you are a good man/woman/non-gendered individual. Thank you. I’m tired of seeing selfish pricks thinking that artists revolve around them. If you can’t afford to do it yourself, then you aren’t allowed to complain. Simple as that.

It sounds like your trying to say it doesn't meet "Your" expectation...

Ivory and PB have made these animations for ALL of us to see, and they do a good job with these 30 seconds and they have improved their artwork...

Including how hard it is to make a Blender and Source Flimmaker animation, as they had to import the maps, and also the creatures in this as I said...

Not every art revolves around "your" expectations,

And another thing..

I don't think Firemen act this way... especially seeing the comments you posted on others animations...

I don't comment often, but these artist deserve respect. They put out phenominal work.

Let's try to spin this:
You, a fireman, don't put out evough fires. Cool, that big 5 story building was important, but now your calls are just residential or brush. Guess you just don't want to put the big stuff out anymore, right? Who am I to demand you go big when there are none to respond to, or time to do so? I thought you guys lived at the station, no home, no family, nah nothing but work. Doesn't dound right, huh?

Darn good animators like this got me back into my writing I used to do. Even started trying to learn blender for personal projects to pair with it. Do I get it? Not at all, can barely get a model built, let alone animate it to THIS level.

I enjoy quality. The short animation with the pocked Jagras, yeah, I felt it. Legit envy for that hunter, lol.

The most important thing you are missing on that high horse of yours is this:
Are you paying for it? Way I see it, you are getting qualkty that takes hours on hours, days on days, to do. For free.
As a hobby writer, that means a lot. I spend weeks on one chapter that people read in a few minutes. I ask nothing, but feedback and enjoyment.

I agree here, if you think it's such a snap,let's see you do it.

I like this jelly drool.

Bro what? You can only demand something like that, if you had a previous contract about it. You are free to go to the other animators, but thats such a shallow "threat" by itself. To what other animators? Quality like that and with such content is quite rare you know.

Ok, would i be really happy, if there was another unbirthing/whatever work containing the magma dragon? YES, damn right i fucking would. BUT and this is a big one, since i dont have any contract with pb472 and i didnt pay him any money, i can do nothing else but hope. Sure the longer videos are sweet, but if pb472 is more comfortable doing this, who am i (and who are you?), to tell him what and when to do stuff.

There is a fine line between constructive criticism and just being an ass.

And you know, you made me quite angry, becouse i have seen this type behaviour before and it usually only ends in one way. The author becomes jaded with his work and moves on, sometimes even starts to hate it. So i would like to ask you, next time you will have this bright idea to enlighten us about what goes around in your head, maybe think about it once more and... just dont?

This is amazing its aways a wonderful treat to see any of your work thank you

Sir or madame. I see the point you are trying to make, however, the counterpoint to your argument is how much are they charging you to view their art? Nothing? Please don’t complain about free stuff. For one, it looks bad to complain about free stuff. The saying “you get what you paid for” comes to mind.

Also, let’s take into account how long it takes for a minute of animation. About 60 hours+ (depending on frame rate, quality, and complexity of each individual frame, plus adding sound takes even longer getting the sounds matched up with the video. So tac on another 60+ hours. Animation artists please correct me if I am wrong. I am a writer, not an animator.) per minute of video. Depending on what the artists do for a living, they may not even have the kind of free time to make the videos at the rate they do and still live normal, and healthy lives. Please take these things into consideration next time you comment.

To clarify, this is not an attack on you, but on your argument. Did my best to keep everything objective, and related to the argument at hand.

Hey nice work to both of you
I've been having difficulties lately to get in the right mood to work on my own, so I always love seeing the work others share

Stuff like this sometime helps me getting back into it.
I should try making longer animation lmao

Thanks again for your nice work!

Writer’s block? Or I guess in your case, animator’s block? Been there before, and I feel your pain. Staring at a blank screen for an hour and not able to come up with a single thing to write about is not fun. My suggestion, look for whatever it was that inspired your earlier works for inspiration. Or maybe keep a dream journal and see if any of your dreams inspire you to make something. Hopefully this advice helps.

does anyone know if this dude has socials or not?
