Luc Degardin:

Good idea! Work more on the facial expressions and lipsynch and it'll look even better!

Allier Zelaya:

Great idea. Love the face animation. You might want to zoom out with the camera so you can see the ax better.

Caleb Drewel:

lol good stuff, the face needs a little more expression tho

Renaud Déchaux:

Haha Very nice idea! Good animation.
NICE!!

Guillaume Roux:

Funny concept

Louis Ng:

Haha, nice idea, really. Main grouse is the tree is not very expressive though. Great job!

Johnny Castuciano:

Hilarious!

jonathan fontaine:

great story !!!

Cameron Huber:

That's a cool take on the audio file! I really dig this character! The only part I didn't like was his shriek at the end. I know he's rooted in the ground so making him jump isn't an option ;) but I think his face needs to be exaggerated more - maybe before his squints in fear to have him bulge his eyes for an instant to really get that shock value in. Other than that, nice job!

Ben Hammersley:

really like the concept. would have loved to see more expression in the brow area,

jinu:

really great work

Daniel MC Alvite:

I love the eyebrowns, so subtle,,,
look at me, very nice head turn, bounce down and up.

Traci Plagmann:

Original idea - I like it!

Charles Eubanks:

Wow, awesome job! Clever concept and execution, and you get an incredible variety of expressions and deformation in your character's face. If I were to change one thing, it would be to make a wider mouth for the scream at the end. But overall, this is incredibly impressive work!

Mike Courtney:

good concept

Émylie:

i like the idea of the tree:)

Niels Beekes:

The axe talking? That even scared me! :|
The character's acting was alright

Laban:

sweet idea

Paul Naas:

Nice model and concept. Like it a lot!

Aaron Clement:

He seemed to lose expression after 'fat'. Great animation on the first half!

Matthew Brophy:

awesome job your sound is off a bit in the beginning

Dan Dulberger:

This was kinda hard to judge. Those eyes really aren't expressing emotions clear enough.

jonathan topf:

nice idea

Siva Kumar:

Really nice concept ! If the eye brows animation is exaggerated.....it would be even better....well done !

Michael Vandenhoven:

great idea

Santi Hurtado:

It needs animation in the in the eyes/eyebrows, but the rest looks really nice. That's why I vote this so high.

andrew s:

I like this. Lip sync could be a touch off here and there, some of the hand poses seem to stop at the same time, but still, this is very good work.

Brad Regier:

funny concept.
The eyebrows need to be animatable.

Justin Weg:

cute idea

Taber Dunipace:

And the most interesting idea award goes to... YOU! But seriously, I think this is a very nice piece. Good emotion and animation. Sort of hard to get good poses here. Definitely good over-all.

Nathan Jones:

Love the idea as much as the pencil and sharpener one. and the animation is really good!!!! just needs a bit more to really bring out the emotion!

A well executed original approach!

Marin Petrov:
