I'm impressed with your animation abilities.   The theme reminded me of something...I wonder what might have inspired it?

Thank you so much !

My inspirations are Kaiba and Le Petit Prince ^^

Here is episode 2 of my anime for those who are interested!

It is made exclusively with GIMP of course.

What kind of opinion? About the drawing?
I'm far from your drawing level, so I don't see myself giving you an opinion about the way you draw, in all case for sure I can see there are a LOT of work on your animation.

In the end I would say that we like it or not, IMVHO I think it's for a niche.

Thanks for taking the time to respond ! Could you expand on your answer if you don't mind? I don't understand what you mean by "niche". I would like to progress so it would help me a lot if you specified your point ^^

define niche on Google:
.../... Denoting products, services, or interests that appeal to a small, specialized section of the population.

The story (or the way you brought the story), dismembering of people, it's gore... all that are for a very particular niche IMHO, especially in this kind of drawing.

I understand your answer...

I allow myself to put the link back because I had to re-upload the video to improve the quality ^^ '

The animation looks more fluid in this most recent post than in the previous posts.  You are getting some good wave action in the hair and overall the movement is more dynamic instead of having an even tempo.  Your compositions and ideas are interesting, but I find the movement a bit stiff.  Having more slow in and slow out of movement and more contrast of faster or slower movement would make the animation more lively.  I would also use poses that are less symmetrical, where characters have their weight shifted. Having very even timing can make the animation feel surreal, which seems to fit with your intention, but becomes a bit monotonous in longer pieces. 

I would like to know how you are doing animation in GIMP.  I am a GIMP newbie who has animated in Photoshop.  I don't see the video tab in the regular download of 2:10 and I don't know if there is a plug in for animation that works in the most recent GIMP.
