Wow, what an ambitious animation. The character design was very good. Nice head turns and varied views of the characters. Delightful sense of humor. Interesting backgrounds. I think it would have improved with tighter editing--the kind of thing you might ask an independent eye to do for you. Incredible that you pulled all this off.

Thank you human for your comment. What do you mean with "thighter editing"? It may be a usefull advice for me, so I would gladly know it.

Sorry to be unclear.

When I say, "tighter editing," I mean trimming the scenes so they last only long enough to convey the action.

Sometimes it helps to have another person act as editor.

But, essentially, your work is very good :)

Awesome! I love it when the wolf is typing on the internet and googling. I also like the smoke from the seared flesh traveling through the forest to the wolf's nose. It's the little things that make animations interesting and funny (of course that is only my opinion).

I look forward to seeing more of your work. I haven't come across many female animators exhibiting their work on the internet. Great to know there are more of us out there. :D

Big effort Diana, some of the drawing/animation/backgrounds were very good, and had such detail.
I thought the mix of realistic and cartoon imagery was surreal.
The sound design did however need to be improved, to match the rest of the piece.
Perhaps you could get some help from someone who specialises in that area, it would really lift it.
Très Bien.. :)

Thank you very much Chucky! Yes, I am aware of the audio-flaws. For my actual project, a long movie for DVD with plenty of dialogues, I work together with a musician and compositor who helps me with the audio files. Still, it is pretty difficult to work with multiple audio files, rather than have ONE studio recording.

Nice. I like the way you melt natural media with computer art.
Great gags and story. ^^ I did laugh when the wolf did search on the web how to cook him. :lol:
I love the backgrounds, they are really cute ! ;) (color pencil + watercolor ?)

( I did look at your website, I loooove "bad karma" :lol: )
