Sleepy Posted March 3, 2018 Report Share Posted March 3, 2018 This is a web comic I've been following for the past few years. I'm curious to see if anybody else around here follows it too or even knows about it.The comic can be found here: http://www.harpygee.com/comic/cover Though the main reason I'm making this now of all times is because Nickelodeon just released an animated short of it: Other stuff from the creator I just felt like sharing[spoiler=Animation for Space Unicorn] [spoiler=Amethyst, Princess of Gemworld (CartoonNetwork shorts)] Among other stuff I've been tailing because I'm a fan of the animator xD[spoiler=Banana Cat] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blake Posted March 4, 2018 Report Share Posted March 4, 2018 Huh. That's interesting. Short video doesn't seem to do it the most justice, though. Some of the whimsy and charm of the comic is missing from the animation, and I'm not the biggest fan of the voices for the characters. They feel a bit... generic, really. I don't feel like they did a good job of fitting the characters, as opposed to their general roles. I need to get caught up on this... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't feel like they did a good job of fitting the characters, as opposed to their general roles. I need to get caught up on this... I have to agree it's not as good as the comic. It actually is a pretty unanimous opinion.Four minutes is not a long time so naturally, they went for a short self-contained clip focusing on one or two of the characters, and didn't concern themselves with introducing most of the cast. I also have to say I don't really have a huge issue with the voices, as in, I could easily get used to them even though they aren't the best I've seen out there either, but I mostly wasn't a huge fan of some of the dialogue. Even in the comic I think the characters took a while to start shining. Opal has been growing in me in the comic lately but I didn't think much of her in the first chapter or two. Ash feels a little bit more mature nowadays (he started up pretty bratty and with no background). I am more excited about the idea that stuff from the actual web comic could get animated and even cause the comic itself to speed up. I also gotta say, some of the shows I currently follow had pretty awkward pilots. Gravity Falls felt so weird and I'm not the biggest fan of the Steven Universe pilot either, so the promise of adjustments should this get past animated short sounds, well... promising xP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
