Our first deadline when everyone was assigned their parts was the end of August. I finished my piece in the end of October, and the last of us finished at the end of December... After 3 days of unsuccessful compilation of the final individual pieces, Kirbopher sent the files to
JohnnyUtah and just like that, he got it done and Kirb submitted it. (=
I hated the crap we had to go thru compiling the first collab, and after working like a madman to get my piece done, I never wanted to be part of a collab again... But Kirbopher soon had scripts written out for the sequel, and I gained interest when I read my piece 'Pokemon Snap XXX'.
My piece was originally supposed to be about 10 seconds long, and not nearly as explicit... Of course I fattened it up, and blurred it out. I originally had all the pokebabes wearing clothes/swimsuits, but I thought as a 'sequel' to my Ash v Pikachu piece in the first collab, I should add blurrs and make it 'mature quality', SO I DID! When I handed my piece back to Kirb, he said it may be too explicit to put in, but after a check with the other artists, outside opinions, and my nagging, he kept it in. (= It seems I polarized some viewers with my piece, I hope it doesn't take anything away from the other pieces. You wont see anything quite as explicit from me for a while.
I watched the finished piece last night, along with everyone else, and I loved every piece of it, and I thought I could provide my own review for the artists who put so much work into it, even if they brush off my opinion:
Menus - I thought it turned out well.. AND THERE'S A SCENE SELECT THIS TIME!
Mario Party 287 - I liked the fast pace and the smooth-'bubbly' type animation.
Excitebike Wipeout - I've never played it, but it was nice watching him eat shit.
Low Low Low - The emotion switch and animation work great - I love when he pops into Joey's piece.
Olimar Forgot - I did not expect the ending to this piece, found it pretty funny.
Revenge of Metanight - I loved seeing Kirby in my voice. (= This was the first piece I saw of the collab, and it gave me some oomph inspiration when I was working on my piece. The color, animation and style are off the charts.
Duckbill Hunting - Shows great emotion in the animation, and the voices really get me into it.
Starfox Perventures/Pokemon Snap XXX - ....Awe-inspiring animation on the fox part, soo smooth. Snappness = hawt too.
Majesty of ROB - LOL That is so FRUSTRATING! I love the face the guy makes - AWESOME!
Campfire of the Four Swords - More smooth animation, and great coloring.
Kongcest - Eeeeew... I find myself quoting the line tho - 'THATS EVEN BETTER!'.
...Wario's Emporium... - I liked the use of the line tool, and the smooth lipsyncing and transitions.
Planet of the Kongs - Perhaps my favorite piece, because of the voice acting and animation style/expression he gave the characters.
Cook - AAAH! LOL! FRUSTRATING! Also another great piece, i love it.
Master Hand Throws a Fist - Cute. Dedede has a great set of expressions throughout the piece, I like his smile. (=
Pokemon Snap XXX cont. - Blurrs - WOOT! I LOVE the piece added at the end - 'WTFs THE PAUSE BUTTON!', cherry. (=
Fire Emblem - Grrr... Marth... I like the inturruption tho - WANNA HELP SAVE MY GIRLFRIEND?!
Revenge of Metanight cont. - More smooth animation and good expressions on the faces. I like how you used my final 'heee...yay' at the end, sooo cute!
Starfox Drama Mission - 'uh-huh...' Animation is great, awesome expression/motion on the characters.
Pokemon 5th Generation - I was wondering this myself. Funny meeting at the end. (=
Tetris - LOL - long setup, but it was worth it. I loved watching the S-guy breaking into pieces, and the 8-bit SFX added hilarity.
Final Battle - Nice animation, GREAT expressions! METAL GEAR! Jiggly's cute. The trophies are AWESOME! I wish there was a pause botton, so I could look at those- they go by too fast! Great ending.
The voice acting for every piece was great! Voices are critical for setting scenes up, and they really did a bang-up job setting the tone. (=
I created some wallpapers for this collab, uploaded them on my site:
