I think it'll be better if you change the wooden fence into a metallic one. One that is made with iron bars put together. And instead of vines growing in the wooden fence, gears would, in the slits of the iron bars.

Thanks again, but I was going for everything to be made of wood and stone. This has already made its way to completion in my animation as well, so it won't be changed: [link]

It needs more gears, clockwork, and complication. It looks more like a town with clockwork than a Clockwork town.

I usually associate clockwork with dark to grayish tones, and warped atmosphere that suggests mystery. The light and open clockwork town is a different idea and I like it.

I agree, I spent a long time concepting the look of this film and I ended up scrapping everything and starting over way too late. This is only the first incarnation but I don't think the final outcome was much better. [link] if you'd like to see. Thanks for your critque, I appreciate it

That's a touching piece. Though I don't like the way I interpreted it. It says to me that I belong in just one place, and if I accept that, I'll be happier than trying to escape.

Even if I consider it from the standpoint of the gear woman, I'm a bit depressed.

I really liked the way it all looked in black and white, but then, that's my preference. :+D

You're welcome for the critique. It's good practice for us both, hey? :+)

Its more of a story of the ultimate sacrifice of oneself, a truly selfless deed. She wasn't even supposed to get the balloon, but friends wanted to see her get rewarded. I didn't make it obvious in the movie, but the balloons are conscious so she's no longer alone. But I kind of did want to make people sad

I also like the way it looks muted better, i designed the story somewhat around having an excuse to do it. Thanks again!

I think that if anythings wrong(which there is positively nothing wrong in my honest opinion) would be the fence. It's wood. Nothing else is wood. . .it should be metal or iron or something else. . .or have metal "repairs" to it Since it was an abandoned town. . .shouldn't the wooden fence be in need of SOME sort of repairs. . .?

Hi love it
I dont think something's missing
Well maybe.. there's some suspense about the whole scene, theres gotta be a evil creature of something like that somewhere. Master of the tower or a guardian maybe

Autumn-Honey [2007-04-21 14:28:16 +0000 UTC]

Maybe add a giant pendulum that swishes through the center of the tower? Comes out one side, then goes back in, then comes out the other side..?

CaraKhan In reply to Autumn-Honey [2007-04-22 18:03:38 +0000 UTC]

Thanks for the advice. Unfortunately it doesn't fit with the story of the piece, there is no pendulum in the tower. But that is a cool idea! Maybe I'll make another version just for myself.

The only possibly thing i can think to add is some trees, but other than that it looks awesome

CaraKhan In reply to GhostSystem [2007-03-29 22:41:12 +0000 UTC]

Maybe I could add some trees with little cogs hanging like apples or something. Thanks for the help!

brettacular [2007-03-29 19:21:58 +0000 UTC]

This is honestly amazing, but if you're looking for advice, yeah, something around the fence. Ivy, plant growth, something to signify that the place is really dead.

Angelious [2007-03-29 11:43:07 +0000 UTC]

Maybe some more people here and there? A couple of merchent tents or whatever in the background? Maybe some stuff around the fence?

And yes... I'm totally thinking about Gadgetzan or whatever from World of Warcraft. I really love this though.

CaraKhan In reply to Angelious [2007-03-29 14:14:43 +0000 UTC]

The town is dead when she enters it, thats the reason for the lack of people. But it was a good idea anway, thanks! lol As for stuff around the fence, I just wish I knew what it should be...
I actually don't play world of warcraft, so I don't know what you're talking about, heh.

Angelious In reply to CaraKhan [2007-03-29 21:28:57 +0000 UTC]

Whooooooops. I thought you did, haha.

Maybe you could have like wrenches and other tools scattered around? Or signs of an attack or something as to why the town's dead? I can't remember what you wrote down for the original...
