Rust is a figment of your imagionation. If you think it exists, you're just going to make yourself suck.

Moch12, work on your movements and I'd say you're good to make threads. you practically have easing down for your stage of animating. It gets a lot more complicated throughout the "ranks" though. Unfortunantly.

lol you mean intentional...
epic fail... :P
yea i know, but if its REALLY nothing to him, then jumping off and landing with a BOOM wouldn't matter either :P
and dude ark angel, did you see mochs thread?
man some people are such douches :/
even if you're trying to help, look before you leap geez..

ok im gonna work on a easing test, a guy PUNCHING A BALL! WOAH COMBINATION!!!! ^&$%^&#$%&$^*#
yes i know i rock xD

Quote from Nedwardturtl

Oh god! i haven't animated in so long =/

Here is a little test



Please, tell me why i suck so much...

because you're using pivot, go and try flash/easytoon.

Wait, so if you started with Pivot, then used flash, stopped animating for a while, then wanted to get back into animating its better to restart with FLASH rather than PIVOT? o.O I thought it was simpler with Pivot cuz its easier to use (well for me and some other people :/)

No. It's better to get refitted with flash.
Animating in pivot and flash are two entirely different things. You will transfer to flash and lose nearly all of your 'skill' that you've obtained with pivot, same with flash.

And I don't need to see his thread. If he can apparently ease and shit, he doesn't need to be in the beginners section. I cannot beleive that faggots have completely taken this section over :/ Could have called it though. If you want to find out if you're good or not, ask me, zawmbee, pf0 (if he's still active) or go to www.darkdemon.org

ahh...
wait so, once I get the concept of easing and physics, reactions and stuff
i can LEEAVE? really?! well guess Im not gonna be leaving for a looooong time :/
uh, I'll post one of my better anims later...
alright thanks but Im not good. yet... O_o
just by looking at my sig you can tell im not exactly good...

Low beginner - no concept of aniamtion whatsoever
med beginner- grasp on easing and physics
high beginner- good grasp on easing, physics and decent with movements

borderline - Good movements, lots of motion, floors, scenery, basic effects

Intermediate- Good movements, great easing, perfect physics, basic effects, more complicated animations
Med Inter- Great movements, great easing, perfect physics, good effects, very complicated and long animations (300+ frames of a good anim will get you med inter)
high inter- Great movements, entertaining, perfect physics, great effects, longer more complicated animations (Usually no onion skin animations) different angles, multiple things going on at once, etc.

Veteran - Make very good high inter animations without onion skin.
Elite - be active enough on DarkDemon for people to like you enough so that rate you better :/

The anim I criticized on was med beginner.
Beginners section is for low beginners.

okay then Im like in-between low and med beginner..
wait so beginners section is lows? okay then i guess im staying here a bit longer :/
how can you have no onion skin animations?
damn, i think once i git inter ill already be pretty happy :D
shucks guess I better practice a bit more :/

so whats this? low? (and yes I know the lower left hand corner is really, really choppy...)

that'd be low.

Dont' pay attention to the beginning, what until the deleted frames pass, blue is low beginner, green is med beginner, dark red is high beginner, pink is somewhere around intermediate. I got carried away lol.

Me and my good buddy Levi's collab (God knows what his name is now >_>, Maybe Abyssal, idk). It has parts that are low inter, and it has parts that are high inter.

ouch, okay then what about something simple like this

and pink is intermediate? holy **** i have a longgg way to go :(
btw your collab is soooo confusing o.O but the majority of it was damn good.
how the heck do you guys even draw some of that stuff o.o"

My good buddy phantomtookay's DDC9. Veteran animation.


Elite animation. No onion skin. Onion skin is the light grey shadow behind the stks. when you move them.

Low beginner.
Try making an aniamtion purely out of movements and easing. Don't attempt effects until you're confortable with easing. Bad effects will bring a good aniamtion down a few levels.

Arch-angel....You avatar looks like a kawaii from whirled?

is it.....

ok that sounds good, ill just make one with a guy punching a falling ball. that should help (i think)
and thats elite? REALLY? doesn't look that great to be honest :/
maybe i just don't how to appreciate it..
i know what onion skin is but, wait a sec.
they made that animation, without onion skin..
holy crap i take it back thats amazing. one of my friends is a good flasher and hes blind without onion skin... dayumn im definitely impressed (as if thats hard but wtv.)
ok ill take your advice, ill post something soon.

no?
Rawgreen made the character for my game, thats what it is.
