So, I took a three month vacation, got all bad at pivot again, and now Im back.

Fresh thread, fresh animations, and hopefully I'll be able to animate at a steady pace.

The newest animation is at the top

Warming Up

Just some movements, nothing special.

Arm Breaker

A bit outta the norm for me.

Spinning Wall Kick

Not bad for a rust breaker.

Back Kick

Slightly inspired by my sig.

Beam test

I tried to make it seem like shooting the beam hurt. Alot.

And as always, I return courtesy if you give me some good tips (thumbsup)

Wow, almost inter!! Break that rust and you'll surely get it. If I were you I'd ask the mods after the next update if you think it's good enough.

"Back Kick" Is your smoothest anim. The other two look like med-beginner. That one looks like high begginer.

You boys are fuckin stupid, hehe.

After the kick it looked weird. when the guy landed he should have bounced at the height he was at.
There should have been more build up to the kick otherwise we wouldnt have got so high in the first place. you need to work on your movements and poses, just animate more.

Courtesy?

Well, your figures are really shaky. Make sure limbs don't move back and forth shakily like that. It's quite easy to edit out, you just have to spot it when you're animating.

Arm breaker: Your newest animation is quite uneased and is lacking physics, but has potential.

Black Stickman: I feel as though you've put to much Emphasis on it's legs. the movement is quite strong and lacks easing, try slowing the movement of the legs by increasing the amount of frames in the animation. You've moved the frames in the back so the upper body isn't stiff, but it could do with some more easing. The arms move quickly and shake a lot. As the stickmans manages to catach the other stickmans arm, it brings his/her arms up and brings them down straight away. Although to dislocate a arm, it would take some force to do so. You could add a couple of more frames between the grab and the lift up to increase easing, then bring down the arm within 1-3 frames. The animation will become more eased and will still contain a sense of power.

Green Stickman: The stickmans first reaction is to punch the opponent, to gain more power you should increase the movement and the spacing in the begining. If you wanted to, you could have the stickman run in to punch the opponent, this will show that the green stickman has gained more punch in his/her punch. the legs just need a bit more easing, the placement was pretty nice. I've already discussed the arms but,i think the arm (Which didn't get ripped off, lol) show more use by again, adding more easing to it. After the dislocation, the other arm which is used for support becomes very stiff and sticks into the back. Just move it a bit more to make it look better. His head can be fixed if you change the movement of it's back as the head will follow, just try and ease the head more by following the onion skin. (the grey outline from the past frame.) ;)

Sorry if you have to read this assignment. Lmao. But yeah. I like it. ;)

Arm Breaker

1. The whole animation is shaky.

2. While foot placement is not really "off", the walk cycle is stiff.

3. The backbone is stiff through-out the whole animation.

4. Very little easing seems to be applied to movements; that or not enough easing

5. It has very little flow.

6. When the guy fell he should have bounced a little. His arms just plop down next to him.

Conclusion:Apply more easing to your movements, study/get a mentor on flow, and move every joint every frame, sticking to flow guidelines.

You boys are fuckin stupid, hehe.

Your newest animation is kinda shaky, and the foot placement is a little off in the back leg.
It lacks some smoothing features and the legs are a little stiff at some points of the animation.
My advice, work more on spacing and easing. I'd say around med beginner :)

courtsey?

Hi guys, I'm back again, check below for my thread
