Jumpy and needed to be finished - would've been awesome complete, though! Nice idea.

richard a.

looks great!

Ben LaScala

Love the context but the character is hard to make out, but the animation is well done.

Patrick Verlangieri

really good work

the drawing is awesome, the character is cool and the movement is good

The only thing is that it feel's blocked, specially in the begining

Paula Decanini

Feels like it hits on correct beats, especially at "make important decisions". Polish up the expression in the eyes so emotions read more clearly, but good job!

Adam Roades

Would have loved to see this cleaned up! Nice gestures and timing!

C. J. Cow

Great!! You should definitely finish this piece. i love it.

E. Ault

This will look great once finished, smooth out the frozen keys!

Janzelle

The animation is nice, and I like how the person waits for probably who he's listening to finish talking, but the wait is a little long and hard to understand when you watch it for the first time.

I really like the way you were headed with this. I'd like to see it when it's complete! Nice movement and the ciggy is a nice touch.

This is absolutely great! I think some polishing or darkening of the lines could have been used to greater show the animation; and while the first 5 or so 6 seconds add greatly to the entry, the time spent on it could've been used to do some of the incomplete frames that went with the audio. I also feel like eyes went a bit too wide and open at "guy" and gave an odd vibe because the enthusiasm in the audio didn't match with the face, so it was a bit too contrasting with the smile the character does at the end. However, I really love the "stair-like" movement the character does at "You should never make important decisions". It served as a way to give emphasis and imply sort of a break between those words. Great stuff!!!

loved it.... There are few awesome 2D entries this month, so the competition is tough.
