Great Animations: Tarboy and one more…
January 6th, 2010 by Bryson WhitemanVisual development is always one of the most important parts of my games. For that reason it’s important for me to stay inspired in the art department as much as with the gameplay. My homie Gus told me I had to watch Tarboy by James Lee on Newgrounds. I willingly accepted this challenge and it was well worth it.
Just check out the art…
I really loved the graphic high contrast sections and the beautiful animation throughout. So smooth. Along with excellent staging and perfectly timed to a song that tells the story of Tarboy. Incredible stuff.
I also came across Comme un Poisson on the frontpage of Newgrounds last week when I was browsing randomly with a friend. Funny as hell, and some great animation. I really dig the style.
Comme un Poisson by Stamper
There’s some really quality stuff out there. It’s amazing we get all this stuff for free! 
Both movies are excellent. Hania has an amazing singing and playing skills (she does the music for Tarboy, her husband is the animator), and Stamper always gives me a great laugh when I need it. Hope someone comes across your post who hasn’t seen these yet, great pieces of work, both very unique.
