Huge-ass animation! These jolly aliens are casually destroying the earth.

I know, the animation looping doesn't really make any sense, since they're destroying the earth over and over again.
BUT maybe that when we think they're doing this lightspeed-ish travel thing, they're actually traveling BACK in TIME to destroy the earth again! Does this make more sense? It doesn't. Ah well, I tried.

My entry to pixelween 2007. I'm hoping to see lots of other entries there! Get pixellin, y'all have till halloween to kick my ass!

Might edit it a little, some tidbits annoy me.

EDIT: Made a better earth explosion. Thinking about adding something else right now...

Great loop!
Homer: Wait a minute. Statue of Liberty. That's OUR planet! Damn you! DAMN YOU!

Ah-hah! Zaphod Beeblebrox saves the day!

Beeblebrox (Level 4 Mercenary) at 10/26/2007 11:29:21 AM
If you want the Hitchhikers Guide explanation for the looping animation, they are traveling to different Dimensions to destroy each earth due to the instability of the plural zones.

Great Job

lol, awesome animation!

The alien that drinks the coffee is amazing!
 Excellent realizzazioen,   with little pixels,  it's so well  realized that it seems to see the scene of a film to the cinema.

Faktablad (Level 6 SWAT) at 10/25/2007 7:55:59 PM
I love the coffee, it's hilarious.

CircleOfTheDarkOnes (Level 2 Flatfoot) at 10/25/2007 2:41:25 PM
Win.               

Larwick (Level 8 Shodan) at 10/25/2007 12:02:53 PM
Awesome update! A tremendous result. Reminds me of how things explode in Worms.

A.B. (Level 6 Serial Killer) at 10/25/2007 7:57:47 AM

The alien are drinking coffee while Sol 3 are exploding...

That's kinda funny. o.O

Koch (Level 6 Made) at 10/24/2007 2:20:59 PM
Awesome repulsive pulsating aliens.  Drinking the huge cup of coffee was a great touch.

dumbo (Level 9 Executioner) at 10/23/2007 11:17:37 PM
Show off...

AdamPlays (Level 6 SWAT) at 10/23/2007 2:53:07 PM
Love the explosion now!   I still think the coffee sip should come after the explosion, but good either way. 

BlackDragon (Level 10 Lieutenant General) at 10/23/2007 2:10:07 PM
Brilliant update!

Larwick (Level 8 Shodan) at 10/23/2007 5:21:28 AM
The moment he lifted that mug up, omg lol, so great.

1 nitpick = planet doesn't look as spherical as it should. Too flat!

Emanu (Level 3 Chief) at 10/22/2007 1:09:08 AM
great stuff as always!

jalonso (Level 11 Godfather) at 10/21/2007 12:30:34 AM
Always a pleasure to see your work.

Squirrelsquid (Level 4 Mercenary) at 10/20/2007 5:56:15 PM
pretty much first place if you ask me :P anyway, I like it

dogmeat (Level 7 General Manager) at 10/20/2007 10:52:34 AM

Coffee is the best part :) I would take the heart off the cup and put the PJ nerd guy if it were me :)

I think the planet exploding could use more work, it seems more like lineart at the moment. Otherwise, top notch stuffs here :)


Mil (Level 3 Private Eye) at 10/20/2007 10:40:53 AM
The animation is amazing <3
Great idea,  funny and very well done!

inkspot (Level 4 Button Man) at 10/20/2007 8:03:47 AM
Heh, nice coffe animation. Like destroying a habited planet would be a routine.

Rikas (Level 1 Rookie) at 10/20/2007 7:21:32 AM
Like if we needed help to destroy the earth... :D

greenraven (Level 5 Killer Klown) at 10/20/2007 7:20:14 AM
I like.

As the loop problem, yes time travel is the only way to explain it.

Adam (Level 8 Brigadier General) at 10/20/2007 3:32:57 AM
Another astonishing animation! I have not much to say except: WOW! Well, OK, some nitpicking: the display looks a bit static compared to the other parts. It could maybe scroll a bit as if the ship were rotating slightly or zoom in as if it were advancing.

chanfan (Level 1 Thug) at 10/20/2007 1:35:57 AM
HAhah that's funny!  I love the coffee!

M.E. (Level 4 Team Leader) at 10/20/2007 12:15:08 AM
Great style as always.
I really like the coffee drinking part.
And I second the earth explosion. (You have some lying around)
5/5 + Fav

Marina (Level 3 Private Eye) at 10/19/2007 10:58:54 PM
hahahaha i love the animation... you're so talented.

Souly (Level 4 Murderer) at 10/19/2007 8:23:33 PM
I want to sex you and hopefully gain animation skill from it.

Zeh (Level 1 Rookie) at 10/19/2007 5:56:22 PM

Wow... Great work!


dumbo (Level 9 Executioner) at 10/19/2007 4:29:31 PM
I love this work...

leel (Level 5 Killer Klown) at 10/19/2007 3:59:58 PM
i hope you win :)

DJD (Level 4 Button Man) at 10/19/2007 3:59:21 PM
This is awesome, I can never get enough of your mastery over glorpy gross animations. I did feel a little overwhelmed at first and I missed out on coffee with so much going on at once, yet at the same time I've always appreciated how your animations have so many little things doing something interesting at the same time. I can't make a suggestion as to which option would be better between what you have now and what Adam suggested but aside from that you've done a wonderful job. I encourage you to do many more slimy animations. ;)

surt (Level 10 Maniac) at 10/19/2007 3:45:41 PM
I've got to agree with Adam about the explosion its cheapness really let the rest of this excellent anim down.

MrMister (Level 1 Depressed) at 10/19/2007 3:35:31 PM
bring me your universe's ultimate cup of coffee. black.
edit: woops i made it my avatar instead of favoriting it.   woops.

A.B. Lazer (Level 2 Flatfoot) at 10/19/2007 3:34:05 PM
They are destroying Earth in different space-time continuums. Or they are destroying every planet that looks like Earth...

Doomcreator0 (Level 6 SWAT) at 10/19/2007 3:32:09 PM

 Technically aren't they blowing up Sol 3?

But nice job, I like the animation. Very nice..how much?

 


skeddles (Level 9 Necrophiliac) at 10/19/2007 3:30:16 PM
Anything that includes blowing up the earth is fine by me.

FrankieSmileShow (Level 6 Manager) at 10/19/2007 3:22:12 PM
The earth explosion... I had kind of a dilemma.
I mean, its the end of a planet. I can either do an apocalyptic explosion of craziness, which would probably double the animations' size, or I could just do something weird and short. I chose the latter. Maybe ill change my mind...

For the comedic timing, you are probably right. Actually, I tried doing this first, but it ended up looking a little weird, all animations happening one after the other in an orderly fashion, it didnt seem very natural. Like, pause, space travel, pause, scan planet, pause, destroy, pause, sip--  But now I think the problem wasn't really that everything happened separately, maybe that the timing of the movements was just wrong.

AdamPlays (Level 6 SWAT) at 10/19/2007 2:44:50 PM
This is great.  If I had to nitpick - which I will  - I would try to make the Earth explosion look a less oekaki, and then I would change the timing between the sip of coffee and the Earth explosion.  I would make the coffee sip occur after the explosion, (it would add to comedic value as if he were saying "just another day on the job!")
