Use one of the other shading variations, (the dots) with different distances seperating them.

ok cool, thanks, and i got a bit farther, tell me how you think of it...

great :)

I like the summon technique :D

oooh! Very good!

But on a negative note, gray resizes when he stands up.

Also work on your particles a bit. They disappear pretty fast at some points and also lack easing. Try to use the smallest brush size too. Big, blockey particles can look kinda ugleh.

But seriously man you've got some great talent. GAH! Stupid computer, I really wana animate now but my USB port is fsked up. I need a new computer T.T

Wow, awsome talent...
Just maybe add another easing frame..
But I love the summonin tchqnique and stuff...
lol, stuff xD
For some reason, I reckon this is gonna be similiar to Ultimate Showdown...
Hmm...while im on that subect, how is it going puinkey?

<.< stupid Imageshack won't let me show ya gaiz ......

That's what happend .

And I haven't animated for weeks now .

Use more frames, you can hardly see what's going on. Do less spaces between movements. The trails on the sword in the first one were good. The second one was bad.
Keep it up.

Oh god no, Puinkey dont start typing like that PLEASE.
Anyway, that sucks.

I thought that it was really good Matt!
Just the really thin lines around greys sword don't really fit.
All you need to work on is smoothness and particles.
I really like the explosions it was different.

alright tahnks, ya i kinda didn't like the sword trail for the big sword either, but tonight i will fix some bugs like smoothness and trails, etc. thanks guys!

Explosion needs more particles, some size changing, should be looked at.
If the summon was animated a bit better, maybe more particles, more force and cool stances, it would be ****ing sick....
You just gave me an idea for my Fb animation
:D

@stare : ................. *sadface* :(

@Matt : still progressing ?

heres a bit more, sorry, i haven't worked on it in a while

Pretty cool animation (I could never do better -.-)
very creative as well =D

thanks, any more?
