"The Ultimate Warrior" Episode 1

Well guys, I've officially begun animating my new fantasy web-series: The Ultimate Warrior and I've completed the first episode:

http://www.nranimation.com/ultimatewarrior.htm

This is the first time I've ever done this sort of thing. All the episodes in the series are short (2-3 mins) and each episode is part of a continuing storyline.

The main point of this series is to experiment not only with the fight-scenes but also with short-format episodes. If you've seen the Average Joe episodes, they range from 5 to 7 minutes each and 6-8 pages long.

Well, each episode in this series was 2 to 2.5 pages long and it comes to about 2 to 2.5 minutes each and I was surprised how much I can pack in to a 2 minute episode.
I think one episode is 3 pages but that's the very last episode and we wrap everything up then so it can be a bit longer

Anyway, enjoy the episode!

Hello spooze!

WHEN IS THE SECOND EPISODE????

I liked it, liked the story, the drama, the voices.

What I didnt like, the ambience, as in the darkness of the layout, at night is good, but could use a lill more gradient to it, like from blue to dark blue/black skies, that sort of things, I find it a little dull from that perspective.

Gee, that is just so dark, gloomy and ugly. Some of the movement is OK.
I haven't seen anything as morbid and depressing as that since the Lone Ranger cartoon show. Does anyone remember that? Last screened here early 1970's? Very melancholy!

Sorry you didn't like it.

There's a Lone Ranger cartoon show?

Morbid and depressing isn't necessarily a bad thing!

Yes, there was a Lone Ranger cartoon show. I think it was produced in the 1960's. It had very limited animation, dark, turgid backgound art and nightmareish scenarios.

Haha, I personally like morbid and depressing. Aliens wouldn't be one of my favorite movies otherwise

That's strange. From what I can remember of the live action TV show... it was more campy then dark.

Was it one of those Filmation animated shows? I know they did a ton of those "based on TV or movies" shows.
