I'm sure several of you are familiar with Andrew Kauervane, creator of the series 'My GOD! Robots!'
Yeah well he just released an animation, it had me spellbound the whole time

Here is a fine example of someone who should not be submitting to NG. Heck, he could start a goddamn TV show on cartoon network easily with that skill, and NG gives him a 3.92 and no awards. This is probably actually the best animation I've seen on NG to date.

^ there's the problem
Yeah I love this guy's stuff.
He's very underrated.
yeah hes super under rated I mean why else would his cartoon be on the frontpageghsfdsdfffpppytttt FUCK
andrew kauervane is an asshole
although his stuff is really good he's an arrogant prick
like wonchop with his fur shaved off on steroids
I can't recall being annoyed by anything Kauervane's said.
But I don't wanna get into a gay argument about it.
crap story
channeling mccracken like a leech
He's a good animator yeah, people say he's arrogant and stuff. I myself haven't really seen him being arrogant or anything, but I don't really know anything about that guy so..!
I don't know shit about him
and that's gr8!!
What's the big deal here? Are we not supposed to tell our favorite people we think they're awesome?
I remember when My god robots was first released to ng, i was like omg move over bitey... but yeah wtf
my god robots was even worse than this
Quote from: rtilcrap story
channeling mccracken like a leech
oh so THAT's who he's rippin off
i've been wonderin who he was rippin off for a while cause i knew his style was really familiar
"really familiar" is an understatement
Quote from: rtil"really familiar" is an understatement
"exactly the same" more like it?
hit the nail on the head
I liked the my god robots remake a lot. The animation was pretty good, by far better than 90% of the NG animators can do. I don't really care if he rips of someone's style, he does what he does pretty well though.
the animation was OK (at that point he was ripping off bonus stage more than anything else), but the story was like one of the worst things i've ever encountered. he writes horrible scripts and his voice actors don't help much either
jeez i didn't think this would evoke such a hostile response
Sure his style is way similar to Craig McCracken, doesn't make him a bad animator.
His movements have gotten so smooth, his color scheme is great, It's like he could actually be animating for the show (Foster's). You can't deny he's an excellent animator.
I don't give a fuck about My god robots that wasn't so great it's his more recent stuff that i like better in terms of animation.
i said the animation was ok, i meant it
what he's good at is copying other artists, that's the only positive thing i can say about him

^ ouch
"For the love of god please vote this high"
sorry, but that kinda stuff bugs the hell outta me
also the animation was slick but my god it made no sense
it wasnt funny, meaningful, poignant, sad, epic, joyous, happy, scary or anything
it was just there.
i just dont like this guy. and no im not just agreeing with rtil
the animation of robots didnt look very special to me. ive seen much better on numerous occasions.
and he is arrogant. ive read his blogs/replies
and he looks like a tit in his ng picture
and i cant pronounce his 2nd name
agh. dont like

that kind of pissed me off too, tbh.
I don't know, i've never talked to him, i haven't done any real background research on him either. I can't say i know a lot about him except i've watched most of his flashwork, which seems looks pretty professional to me. And he does have his own style, like the one in the She-Beats video he made. It's just his most recent one that is a McCracken ripoff.
he has been morphing his style from a bonus-stage ripoff to a mccracken ripoff. that one was probably some strange combination of the two. either way take it from me - the guy is a total asshole. he had a fit over my "pixel id" parody on deviantart. the conversation went something like this:
"dont' you have anything better to do?"
"that's a dumb question"
"you're an asshole"
"ok"
"asshole"
and then wrote a journal a few days later saying that i (and shmorky) had huge egos. dunno where he got that, he was just taking my work too seriously
we should link him to the bashing in this topic just to see his reaction and let everyone have a fine glimpse at what an asshole he is
if you do that i will be really upset with you. enough people troll these boards as it is
Quote from: rtilif you do that i will be really upset with you. enough people troll these boards as it is
on your website, trolling your forums XD
haha trolls here? none of them even bother posting.
yeah i guess he is, in NG heriachy, a good animator. but his stuff isnt funny or anything, and he thinks he's more loved that he is.

that's why they're called trolls

Please explain your logic so we can go completely off topic

ok i used the wrong word i think
a troll will deliberately cause trouble by posting something blatantly meant to cause offense
what we have are lurkers, people who just read everything and never post because they're pansies
or they just are too lazy to make an account
i dunno the proper terms, but i always thought a troll was someone whod pick a fight (e-fight!!! yeeah") with someone they didnt like
ive had it before on NG, it was something about /b/ and i got a couple of btards messaging me, complaining. i just didnt message back
Haha, I guess I'm a lurker. I just rarely get around to these forums, to tell the truth though, or if I do and I read something I usually have nothing new to say, and I hate post where people just repeat what someone said earlier.
That being said, I wouldn't go as far as Rtil has in saying Andrew is ripping McCracken off, but he is taking his style. However his toon was something very different I found that a McCracken piece.
I also peronsally really like My God Robots. It was erratic, spaztic, all over the place really, but I loved that about it. Also Matt Wilson's music was great for it I found.
That being said, I've spoken with Andrew, and he is like the John K of NGers. Totally self-righteous and arrogant. He's very disrepectful to the very people who made him who his is today.
at least he picked a good mr. bungle song
the 2 highest scoring submissions on ng today are a stick movie an a sprite movie
ok, but that has nothing to do with this topic. i'm sick of people bumping it anyway
