You do a great job at keeping things 'G' rated and family friendly. I love all the color in this, and the expressions. It's a really good action scene.

Comment from ABG Photography


Great animation and vitality seen here between the squirrels and the birds. Armor clad with shields and spikes, how creative and entertaining! The red floor is a little distracting, my eye sees that first, not the characters, maybe if you changed it to a medium tone green it would work a little more harmoniously. I suggest green because I am assuming the blue background is sky and the animals are fighting on the ground. As always, your technique, imagination, attention to detail and bold use of color makes this a spectacular composition.

    Ah, now I understand. Thank you. Yes I'm back. Always busy, have had lots of New Englanders coming down to enjoy our fabulous weather leaving me little time to check in. Glad you're still here. Hope all is well.

    All is cool..this one I'm working on is for Bryan Taylor again. He is releasing his new CD and ask me to do the video.. about couple left till finish with the drawing part then the editing begins. You know it's perfect timing that you are back. Tom has given me permission to create a music video for all 3 FAN sister sites. The music is gonna be Queen's"we will rock you". It will be streamed on YouTube. Now I'm getting out to all 3 sites(I'm a member of all 3) that any Fan members who wants to participate send me only one image that you feel represents you. The deadline is by Halloween. Would love to have you join us..the email is 1mkflood@gmail.com.

Another excellent cartoon, Mark, for your music video and great entry for the contest. Love the expressions on the faces and the positions of all the creatures. So much to look at and capture the interest of the viewer. Excellent choice of colours. Good luck in the contest. Suzanne

Comment from adriansart


Well mark another one of your powerful and some what comical pieces of art and as you say the viewer sees no actual harm in the image! In fact it must make(as it did me) people smile and look closer, especially with the claw on the head of the one on the right and the seemly joy on the birds face in doing so! But the attackers seem to go their own back with the one on the left barging the bird away and not looking pleased about that!

    Well no matter how hard I try to make this one really serious I guess I'm just a light hearted cartoonist..lol..hey I watch many action movies but I just have a hard time to give the vicious feel of this attack..you I covered many emotions in my past videos..some made folks laugh..some make them tap the foot..some have love(for those flick fans..lol).. some make you think and I even have some that might pull a tear..I did dancing videos but this will be my 1st action video and Bryan Taylor wants to put it for the promo song for his new CD to be released later in the year. Even though I have 20 videos now they run only an average of 3 to 4 minutes long. Check it out. Thanks again for the awesome review
Comment from Patti C


It looks like this one is pretty much even Steven birds got one squirrel by the head one squirrels rammed the bird. But I see more birds flying in but I think I see part of another squirrel on the far right maybe more squirrels are coming in too. Will have to wait and see what happens hint hint

Comment from csimmons032


You definitely get the impression of some kind of war going on, but as you said it is not gory which is something that I like. It is still very detailed, without being too detailed if that makes any sense lol. I am not a fan of blood and gore anyway. As usual, you did a great job. Thanks for sharing. :)

Comment from michiganmike


I wish I could follow the plot line. It's pretty bad when you can't even follow a cartoon. I like the characters and the artful presentation though.

Comment from alexisart


I know there is some symbolism in here that I probably don't "get" but these colorful and well drafted illustrations are very imaginative and keep one looking for sure.

    No symbolism here..just you came into the middle of the story..kinda like turning to a TV program that has been on for 30 minutes.. wink. Thanks for the great review

    Thanks for the explanation - I think I just felt I didn't the story behind what was going on.
reply by the author on 14-Mar-2019
    It's understandable..since you're unaware what led up to the scene..but I did keep the goal of no blood or carnage.. trying to keep this "G" rated.. wink
