[Good Woods]

This was brilliantly crafted, riffing on a simple concept and taking it unexpected places with two offbeat characters that are well drawn and perfectly voiced, neither too cute nor too obnoxious and just the right amount of deadpan. The acting's not wooden, just the backdrop. This has potential for a series. It's easy to imagine scenarios the two main characters might encounter.

[wake up walko 4]

Cool depiction of a dream. I've had similar experiences in that R.E.M. phase of sleep prior to waking.

[Safety Off | SAFE MODE: 06]

OK, this is my #1 pick for monthly favorites. In terms of the writing, visuals, music and overall world-building, it kept my attention throughout its runtime. Bravo!

[LEMONADE WAS A POPULAR DRINK。]

Dope!

[Last Nite at Sam's]

This is really well done. I like how the story unfolds and the atmosphere created to set the stage for the cascading events.

[Planet of the BABES]

The drawing style brings to mind Eduardo Risso. I'd love to see you animate a scene from "100 Bullets."

[How to Finish Artwork]

This is an excellent video essay providing food for thought. I appreciate your meticulous process, too. Definitely sharing.

[The Milkman]

Kudos to your team for this cool, well-illustrated story. Even if it was a bit long, the pacing was such that it didn't feel that way. And bravo to my VA colleague, Nick!

Schwanemann responds:

yeah, everyone who worked on this were coocoo-bonanas. And I don't say that lightly.

[Hedgehogs]

The song brings to mind They Might Be Giants--it sounds like something they'd perform.

[Pizza mayhem- A pizza tower Animation]

Love the anime intro.
