Hey there, awsome work I see.
The feeling of this gif is a bit rushed, I can only assume you were going for the watchful ninja on top of the roof, contemplating thing. So maybe a slower approach would have been better.
I LOVE the lanters, I wish you could have done more with that.
I wish the ninja was more the center of attention. I had to search for him initially to understand the scene. Maybe if the gif was blown up more I would have seen him better. He blends in too much with the tiles. Maybe change those tiles e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s… " width="15" height="15" alt="
I kind of like the lightning bolt, and hate it as well. To me its just too clear that this is the beginning and end of the gif. Since the gif runs so fast it takes on like a seizure quality to it, makes the gif almost unappealing.
Maybe multiple smaller lightning bolts, then the big lightning bolt with the white out could be better. Make it more natural.
Im not totally sure whats going on with the background, to me its like a mountain path with lanterns trailing off in the distance.
But I cant understand it again because the mountain looks like part of the sky and ect. It looks like a badly placed filter when I really focus on it.
As for the rain. Its very convincing, I also wish you did more with the rain going off the roof. The building seems very beautiful as far as the combination of the lamps and the rain. Maybe with all that work you did on the building the focus could be shifted towards that.
Overall very beautiful and convincing. The flow feels natural, the lightning could use more work.
Keep at it!

O_o.... I dont know why people request for Critique on artworks. Peoples opinions matter very little. We all know the saying, Opinions are like ---holes. Every one has one. Web5ster, you should just keep on making gifs and art. You wont be able to please everyone. ^^ Keep up the good work. Another Deadly Ninja that stalks the dead of night to bring death or justice. !_! .....

Making art without any outside opinion can leave you in a rut, and ultimately will stunt your growth. Art in its very core is communication, and if things don't read well or are expressed clearly, it falls flat. You also will never know what is working and not working until you get a fresh eye and a different perspective. Critiques also differ from opinions. There are just technical things about composition, color, timing, framerate, in-betweens, and style that are hard to balance (or purposefully unbalance).
I feel like KateTheterrorist's critique was fair. I do believe it feels rushed, the character is hard read, and the lightning is too obvious as a cycle. These points are not just useless opinions (that would be, "This sucks." or "So kawaii!!"), these are constructive and legitimate points that aren't too difficult to fix.

The whole point of critiques is just to get an in depth opinion, which if people think is fair or unfair they can rate it. Just another tool to help get useful feedback for the artist to get even better.
