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:
Extra points for a great idea, well done
Ritwik Nag:

Cute.

Very original and well executed!

BLINK!

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:
