Nicely done!!

Spits

It WOULD of been better if she art’ed her animation herself!

OW-Fan

I think the intention here is to make the fan-animation here look exactly like the the off-white style of Tan and Akreon’s and even if it is not exactly her art, it is well done either way. Much more better then her previous ones and she improved here a lot. c:
Kim

I agree with you Spits

Elo

you know you’re from germany when you can’t watch 3/4 of the videos on youtube. fuck you GEMA.

Natiss

OMG, this is amazing!!! O,O
It’s even better than the previous animations. Nice job, FleshCreature

Gunmaja

Ok, ok, I concur. I very rarely enjoy fan animations, but this IS well done. Certainly better than I could have done it. Hats off, lady-who-made-this-film!

Oh any by the way, does anybody know where I can find this song? I know it’s florence and the machine, but if i’m not mistaken it sound a little like a remaster or a cover, and I actually prefer this version.

Rachel

If you look up “florence and the machine drummer song” on youtube the complete version of this song is there.
- Shus
  
  I googled for this song for a good two hours but all I found was the original or different remixes. They’re talking about where they can get this version.
FleshCreature

Thanks for your nice words and since a lot of people have been asking, this is actually the Version I used: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HTeMgb_akfk
Hope this helps.

Kirira

What is that music?

EasternPhoenix

It’s Drumming Song by Florence + The Machine

Lonely

I see only bad animation. Oo

kirani_wolf

In my opinion this is not bad at all, this takes a whole lot of effort that even these two amazing artists (akreon/tanathe) recognize.
Really?

Ok, I haven’t replied to anything on this site at all, but this comment really put me over the edge. How rude can someone get? The person who made this put a lot of effort into it, and honestly, this is a whole, whole lot better than anything I can do. I bet you that I will ~never~ be able to make something as good as this. The thing is, I bet that it’s the same for you. This animation has been stuck in my head for days, it’s something that really gets to you. I love this animation. The animator put forth a lot of effort as something for us while they asked for nothing in return… and all you can say is that “All you see is bad animation”.
- Lonely
  
  Let’s think straight. When you watch cartoons, you will first assess the quality of the film and not think “how much work invested animators”. Generally, the thought comes, if the animation is really good, it is seen and work and talent. There is no work concerning animation, here is labor relatively drawing. That is, the author has worked on more color and shading, and not the movement. I do not know how it was possible not to notice! And you can only admire the visuals (yes, the author knows how to work in Sony Vegas) and high-quality color, but not the animation …
  - Shus
    
    Did you ever consider that the person who made this fan animation may have been within an age range below 20 or that they may not have had any sort of education in animation work beyond what they managed to learn on their own?
    
    It’s a fan animation, possibly made by someone in their teens, and if that is the case then this is a major improvement in my eyes as anything outside of 3D space in terms of animation I would butcher so hard.
    - Lonely
      
      I know many people who are 15 to 18 years, and they draw the animation is much better than what I saw here. They, too, have no education in this field.I repeat: do you think that I would like to leave a comment if my level of animation would be less than that of the author, and if the little I knew about it? Please answer this question.
    - Peace
      
      I am sorry, I just wanna be honest about something because I wanted to do OW animations too after watching this video but your comment made me feel unsure about doing it. If you are so picky about her super great work, then what would we other fans do, we would probably do something worse but at least we are showing our love for the Authors. So it’s what Fc said if we don’t do it perfect you are just gonna write rude comment and make all our hard work feel like a shame to the comic. I feel that you are going way overboard with this whole thing and it seems more like jealousy because these great Authors Tan/Ark noticed her great work once again.
      Anyone here can tell a lie, so you can talk all you want to about how great you and your friends are but in the end it’s not your work that was been acknowledged, but hers. And it’s not your work that is on the OW homepage. Also I agree you can not compare animators because it’s like comparing artist. We love different things and have our own methods in what we do, that’s what makes us unique. I love her work and unless you wanna try to do something better I wouldn’t act so high an almighty. Also, this video is good for the comic, now more people knows about OW so please keep that in mind if you are a true OW fan. You can write whatever you want to but I won’t reply so stop acting so silly and desperate and let us fans of OW enjoy this wonderful piece of art together. We do after all have a common love here so we should be happy about peoples effort in making it more worldwide known.
      So next time you wanna write a criticism choose your words more carefully because it can also hurt the receiver if it’s just a mean message. And it can also make fans like me skip trying the effort to do an OW animation when we could do something else that would be much more appreciated. For you are ruining it for the OW Authors as well.
    - Lonely
      
      XD Funny you did. Of course, I’m sorry, but I do not know how many times you need to repeat to you finally understood what I mean. Either you are so desperately trying to protect the author, that you close your eyes to the obvious, or to do things with you very badly.I’m curious why you think ordinary words rudeness. ooJealousy? Ha, do not tell! Once again, the usual advice you perceive as rudeness. Learn to accept others’ comments fit and worthy to answer them.
    - Owlfeather
      
      You know a wise friend once told me : “deal with it”
      They’re so right because if you don’t like it then fine, go ahead steam to yourself. But fleshcreature obviously put LOTS of effort into this and no one cares who hates it. You say that you aren’t being rude. Read your own comment! You use sarcasm and call us blind and you say you aren’t being rude? Critism is telling fleshcreature maybe you want to clean up Blalalalala but youre just hating AND calling yourself superior. Yet you still call it critism. Look, if you don’t like the animation or the other users, no one’s making you stay here. And as a reply to my last comment you still have yet to show us a shaded, colorful, animation to appropriate music. Til then, you are just a user who makes rude comments they cant back up and think themselves above a fantastic animator.
    - Lonely
      
      After this comment, I consider pointless to talk to you.
      I do not have the patience to explain to you the same thing more than once!
    - Owlfeather
      
      You’re doing it again, talking down to me. All we have of you are words and none of the animations you tell us of.
    - Lonely
      
      And you want to see my animation? Then why do I never told about it?Actually pretty funny turns. We are very slowly away from the topic video and switched to the topic of “What I snapper.” Х)
    - Comet.Fox
      
      I just think we should all be nice to each other and relax. ._.” The world is terrible enough most of the time, the least we could do is be kind to each other on a simple comment board provided to us by two amazing artists of this beautiful comic that is clearly being misused for arguments and rude comments. Also: don’t feed the trolls/bullies.
    - Shus
      
      What does your level of animation has to do with the author at all? If your level is above it then why did your first comment contain nothing more than “all you saw was bad animation”? If you’re really better and know how FleshCreature could improve, then a more thought out critique that wasn’t worded in a way that would have made you look like an ass would have been better than this mountain of comments that have piled up. Just saying :B
    - Lonely
      
      Why do you all polls latched on to the first one my comment? That’s just not come off of it!In my opinion, I tried to advise the author as to draw better animation, but he would not listen to me. He remains confident that his work is perfect and mistakes in it.How many times you repeat it yet?
    - FleshCreature
      
      Easy Tiger! Don’t act like a smart-ass with moí! I never wrote that I wouldn’t listen to your criticism. I am mature and not a child so of course I am taking your Criticism to me. But don’t act like a mind reader Next time. Also, if you want all of this hostility to stop then you should try to do like I did when I did the same kinda mistake. I said Sorry and I would practice on my English and be more careful with my words next time. I too wrote a comment that I felt people didn’t understand, but once I read it again it didn’t make any sense and I finally understood why people were acting the way they did. Bless those people for letting me have it because I learn from that mistake, we are only human after all. People here are not mind reader either so we don’t know what you were trying to explain with your first comment. You picked some wrong words to explain your point to begin with and unfortunately you can’t delete your comments here in OW once you have posted them. That’s why you must be sure to write carefully when you have something to say.
      I know what it is you want me to improve so I am gonna work on that, but don’t insult me or others in the future next time with poor language. Also next time don’t mock people who are trying to improve their skills in a certain area. Everyone here has feelings, writing in a sarcastic way back is mocking and bulling for those who are tying to let you know how they feel. Just read what they have to say instead of replying like you always wanna be right. And instead say sorry, because you did make a mistake and not all of us. I am also looking forward for your future OW animation so just wait for this storm to be over naturally :)
    - Lonely
      
      Perhaps it is. I really do not know English, so we have to use different sources for translation.Although it is likely the cause of your this attitude to my words, this is what we are probably from different countries. And our country and our culture is very different. Although, it is even quite inetersno.Just as I do not re-read my comments, I imagine would have taken them in my country, and no one would find them rude. X) so I think that for you, they are not rude. I certainly apologize to those whom I have offended, I do not mean to offend you.
  - Black_timberwolf
    
    Its a fan made animation, not a movie. Who cares if it didn’t come out perfect. Its still good.
Maracrazycat

This comment wouldn’t be so f***ing rude if you told what you think is bad and your opinion how you think animator should fix it.Then your comment would be constructive criticism.(sorry for the bad english)
- Lonely
  
  You think, what if I didn’t know about what I speak, I could leave the similar comment? I draw animation and I know how it should be done.
  If you want, I can investigate in detail each animation in this clip.
  But I can precisely tell, it not animation. It is a statics. Movements not smooth, at characters move only feet. It isn’t beautiful!
  I tell nothing about art abilities of the author – they are good. And about work I too told nothing if you noticed.
  - FleshCreature
    
    I
    am fine with your opnion we all can’t like the same stuff. But get
    your facts straight before writing /: Static is
    this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MZ354kNwYLg
    
    Animation
    is
    this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rHppfe91Mt8&lc=9HP1Yo5Gc9gBDKgS2UMOW8hx00-YzCLf9WC1GlbjynM
    
    Animation
    (Anime which I am doing) Is when frames/ images are brought to Life.
    So if it’s just a stick figure moving his arm it’s considered
    animation. There are many ways of Animating and each way is
    correct.
    
    You
    expected Disney style while I did Anime style. Now Disney shows are
    missing Shadows but are smooth made. Anime show are Lacking frames at
    times but has beautiful visual colours. So What I did was Anime and
    whether you see it as animation or not is something you must deal
    with on your own. But saying it’s not animation is a Huge mistake,
    get you facts straight!
    
    Also
    yes, I did spend a lot of time on the Visuals because it’s Anime
    style and I wanted to stay as close to the Original Comic. You are
    going way too serious over a fan work since my channel wasn’t enough for
    you, right~
    - Lonely
      
      Maybe I do not say so, or you misunderstood me. Speaking of static, I mean a still image, parts of which are moving, that there is in you.Of course, not everyone likes what you do, and, of course, is that I do. I
      have just the same problem with the imposition of color, I spend more
      time on it is good, smooth and dynamic movement, so that the character
      was alive and had character. (In
      the comic so many characters, but none of them in your work is not
      expressed, except at the end of Iki. This is not good) So, with a lot of
      attention to the movement, I do not have the patience for quality fill.
      But the very opposite situation. Well you paint, but the movement did not feel. And then it does not matter what style you do: anime or simple animations.No, I’m not too serious attitude to this and did not plan to see this style of Disney. Oo Just here clearly visible problems understanding the dynamics of the movement. (Sometimes I even thought that you are too lazy to draw a lot of shots). That is why the work on the cartoon involved a lot of people – you can not shoulder all on one person. The result can be very bad.I do not in any way do not force you to throw this case. No. I just try to advise the better!
    - FleshCreature
      
      Okay
      I respect your point of view but you are taking this too seriously!
      
      Because as you wrote yourself “ You can not shoulder all on one
      person”. So you are basically saying if you can’t do a Perfect Job alone,
      Then don’t make Fan Work at all! This is what is considered Taking an
      animation Too Seriously. You are not respecting me as an Animator/
      Off-White fan who has Spend a lot of effort in making this video by
      saying “ I only see bad Animation” And ” I thought you are too lazy to draw a lot of shots”.
      
      I don’t care if an animator had made an OW animation in Chibi style
      or had bad anatomic I would still pay respect for the Fan who made
      it. It’s time consuming and shows the fan’s gratitude for the
      Authors. You can Not compare other Animators So stop comparing me
      with you! I find Animation easy but colouring Hard! So If I only
      needed to draw outlines and make the Character show “emotions”
      then I could do the Whole Comic In a couple of months.
      
      And you are wrong once again, My animations do show emotions. But
      since it’s a Music video there is a Time Limit For each Scene and
      therefore you shouldn’t exaggerate each animation scene because those
      details won’t be Noticed. That’s why I made Iki talk in the end, So
      you could see those details -and just to add a little fun.
    - Lonely
      
      You do read what I write? Or just can not understand what I mean? You pull up some phrases of what I said, and pay attention only to them, not paying attention to anything else!And stop is to get out! Rather than pay attention to my mind and re-evaluate their work, by all means you are trying to justify yourself! You do not respect my opinion at all! I think it is time to realize that not everyone will tell you “Bravo” and “amazing”.Or are you so sensitive to criticism? Well, then tell me!
    - FleshCreature
      
      I
      read what you wrote, and of course there will always be people who
      don’t like my work. But that doesn’t change the rude messages
      I’ve gotten from you, even in my other OW work.
      
      I
      can understand Criticism but it wasn’t Criticism you gave me to begin
      with. But the true main thing I don’t understand is why an OW-fan
      would be so demanding from another Fan. Especially Since you yourself should
      know how hard it is to animate. I will Not keep writing a huge Harry
      potter book so you can have the last word if you please.
    - Lonely
      
      Rude messages? I said something rude? OoIn my opinion, I fully substantiate his point, and I do not think that the phrase “I see only bad animation” rough, and that it must be so responsive. OoAnd what of your other work, you got my abuse, you can find out? This is your first job I commented.Why did I ask this question? I thought that if you took the hand-drawn animation, then you know what it is and what it is for. I hope you do not think that the animation – it’s just a picture move. So I tried pogovrit with you, as an animator to animator.
    - LimoSpirit
      
      look. as a human, you should show respect to her work and the effort she put in the job she is doing. Its hard to animate and Im sure you know that to. As you said nobody wakes up and being perfect at animating. This is true, and Im sure nobody pissed you off while you was only learning and you wasnt that good. Nobody did, and if they did piss you off, then Im sure you was upset because its not the right thing to do. You can tell your opinion but you should try to sound nice and not just say it is bad animation. If you are on deviantART you see all sort of people uploading their art, even if it is really amateur, but nobody goes to them and say its completely bad. What I usually do is tell what is nice in it, and then tell what you should improve on. But never just say its bad.
    - rachel
      
      Okay, Lonely, you’re really are starting to tick me off. You have a lot of guts saying this is bad. On a scale of one to ten, I would give this a 9 3/4. The only default I see, as you pointed out, is the slight lag. But this is a million times better than what I could do! To me it was laggy the first time I saw it, and half-way through the video I forgot about that. And all I see with this is an awe-inspiring masterpiece. I at least have the decency to respect it. Even if this is “bad” in your perspective, you could use some common sense. FleshCreature may be doing this, along with the previews for the series, for fun and/or practice. She may still be trying to learn more techniques for animating, so of course it won’t be perfect; she is not the Leonardo da Vinci of animation. Get that! I understand it is what you believe, and I respect that,but you still be kind and say or think, “You know, FleshCreature must’ve put buttloads of effort, patience, and spare time into this.” Maybe you could also actually think before you post. Use some common sense and courtesy!
  - FenrirSulfer
    
    Please show an example of your animations if you can apperantly do better than FleshCreature.
    - Lonely
      
      Well, you can see some of my old works, which are assembled on this channel:http://www.youtube.com/user/EternalFlightStudioThese animations were made by using a computer mouse in 2010 and 2011:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s2Rrq53lR5A&list=UU7Me-Q_NeFAKi3KCF0AzFVQ&index=6A new animation you can see here:http://multator.ru/user/theAliveAnd these small animations are also made with the mouse (There was no x)):http://s1.ipicture.ru/uploads/20130126/ElR3eV2U.gifhttp://s1.ipicture.ru/uploads/20130126/WORnCu8R.gifhttp://s1.ipicture.ru/uploads/20130126/r1H3ivh3.gifI will not upload anything because you have to put a lot of links. And I repeat that there is no misunderstanding: I do focus on the movement and animation itself, and not on the color or design.

      Lonely, if you’re human, you didn’t just pop out of bed one day and know how to animate. Even if you see yourself as superior, weren’t you at this point once? If someone had put you down by calling you bad, you probably would have stopped (maybe, or at least felt bad about your hard work). But what are you doing now except doing that to someone else? Critism is probably appreciated by FleshCreature, what you are commenting isn’t critism, but useless spam.
      *reads comment below*
      You say that “this is you” well ”that was you” at one point, just remember that.
Owlfeather

then you do better.
- Lonely
  
  No problem.
SoulOne

Well, I actually catch BOTH points of view. I like the animation: not professional, it’s a fanmade, really good and better than I can do.
But, yeah, I see some mistakes, like, the same pose in some frames, or no movement in fur and some expressions are missing. For example: Gebo running. Has the same expression and themovement with the legs and his face don’t match at all.
But, I congratz Flesh to do this. And don’t worry, with practice and time, your animations would get better :3. It still an awesome animation.
Beanpants13

I saw some of your anamations, and I must say they are very good, but I still don’t think that calling FleshCreatures anamation bad. I think she put lots of work into this, she’s up loaded some speed anamations on you tube and you can see how long it takes for one scene. Your anamations are good, but Fleshcreature shaded hers very well, as real as the comic itself. Yiou both do better then I could do, but respect other people’s work too.
- Lonely
  
  Dear, I have not done an animation of the comic strip Off-White. What shade? X)
  - Beanpants13
    
    Exactly. Some of your anamations are not in color, and some have a photo for background. FleshCreature not only shaded the fur, she made the backgrounds great too. And unless you think you could do a better off-white anamation. I suggest you shut up and get of this site.
ziikra

I see only a forever alone hater who is hungry for attention and jelous of popularity

EasternPhoenix

Haha, I absolutely loved the ending, it was hilarious xD For the animation, I noted that some movements were a bit jerky, but overall I thought it was very well done

Owlfeather

Who sang this (it sounds like Florence and the machine but I’m not sure)

RealmoftheDragon

Yes, it’s Florence and the Machine who sings the song.

I love this video so much…

Random Fan

I just read the ENTIRE thread of comments from Lonely’s comment. My, how do these things get started on the internet so quickly? I see nasty comments on the internet that are completely ignored, and these ones are intentionally rude, not just a misunderstanding of the language. Then I see little comments that are just attacked. Oh, internet, why so violent?

FleshCreature, it may be because I do not know how to animate, but I liked the video. Yes, yes, it was flawed, but I don’t think the point of this was to have crystal clear animation, it was to flow with the music, yes? I encourage you to take Lonely’s advice, as I’m sure you plan to do, but I would never say your stuff is bad. You’re just not practiced enough yet I don’t expect something like Avatar: Legend of Korra, I expect FleshCreature: Ernest Effort. And who knows, maybe you will animate like the people who do Legend of Korra someday X3

I would like to see some of Lonely’s animations, though…

Random Fan

By the way, a really good way to put out unnecessary flames is to stop feeding them. Escalating can be just as bad as instigating.

In other news, I still don’t like chicken.

I just think we should all be nice to each other and relax. ._.” The world is terrible enough most of the time, the least we could do is be kind to each other on a simple comment board provided to us by two amazing artists of this beautiful comic that is clearly being misused for arguments and rude comments.

INGENIOUS!

Checkerd-icecream

i really love how this is done :

Owlfeather

I just want to thank FleshCreatue and the Aliveful for making such wonderful fananimation. I hope you both continue and get better and better (not that I dont love what youre doing now XD) Also, I’d like to thank the Off-White moderators for turning of the comments of the Aliveful’s fananimation, so people like Lonely get forced to shut up. Unfortunately, that means the creator cant hear how great it really is but I guess its inevitable.

Impoverished-Picasso

Lonely and TheAliveful are the same person… It was definitely unwise of her to make FleshCreature an enemy though.
I hope my comment won’t start an argument about who’s better or something. Seriously, stop it.
- Owlfeather
  
  Are you kidding me?!?! (Sorry, have to ask) How do you know?
  I mean, really? No offense, but I wouldn’t brag about some animation sketches, not that they aren’t good, on this, a finished product. Lonely/TheAliveful, as you’re obviously done talking to me in the comments below, please don’t reply to this.
  I find it truly sad that L/TA would make such rude and unwanted comments, then disable them on their own art.
- Lonely
  
  You’re wrong, I’m not theAliveful. :/
  
  And too it is unwise on your part to make such conclusions.
  - Peace
    
    The Animations you sended said TheAliveful. So either you are, or you
    stole her work -_-’ Decide for yourself. And TheAliveful hasn’t
    complained about your statement so I assume “she’s” Agreeing with
    lonely=Thealiveful. And she has seen this animation/coments. She’s doing
    animations for OW, so she must have already seen the BadAss Animations
    FC made…Which is still my favourites. Keep it up FC <3

Haloreach5750

That was awsome

Black_timberwolf

I’m pretty sure that I saw FleshCreature’s name on this fan video not yours lonely. Leave her be damnit! This is her work, not yours, so just leave her alone. Make your own video if your so proud of the animations you do. Never compair yourself with others unless you have something to show to compare with. Awesome work by the way Flesh creature. I can draw but haven’t learned to do animation yet. Keep up the good work, it will only get better and better. Looking foward to seeing more animations and artwork
