At the very end when his front knee bends forwards, I think it would be more natural for it to extend instead. You'd have to make the hips roll backwards a bit (which will be good flow practice) but it would make it easier to sort out the shakiness on the back knee.

At the end, too many uneeded bounces and in one of the frames the placement is off.

The step is still terrible and the arms go back unnaturally. Anything else?

I think when you're doing a step like this you don't need to move the arms like you would if he was walking. It would probably be more natural for him to bring both arms up in front while he's doing the step in preparation to bring them back during the kick.

http://filz.us/D3H This was the second animation I ever made. It was made in stykz, which is basically an upgraded version of pivot.

sexy as always fluffywrench. C: on sp you can make more than one thread for all your anims, so feel free to post stuff like this in separate threads.

@Javelin not very much movements that i can see, you should have eased the arm more instead of having the sudden stops.
I dont think you were too worried about the movements in this, more on the effects, correct?

anyway, i liked the slash down you chose for that ball, it really went well with the fast downword movement of the arm. as for the blast i think you should have shown more frames of it flying forward thru the air. It kind of looks like it just stays there and then spreads. as for the effects appearance itself, not too bad!

As for your handstand animation on the other page, I'd say to try to work on more basic movements. a handstand fall like that takes alot of practice and skill to execute. But if you would really like Cnc, the movements were very stiff and it all needed alot more movement

@Grimmthereaper not as bad as i was expecting, but you should really work on the basics before you do complex animations like that. Start working on the basics by making simple runs, jumps, etc. If you do this im sure it will help you animate alot better and you will be able to work on higher quality animations like the one you have made in no time.

zed. come back babay, this ish harrrrd XD

Ok guys, here is my absolute first animation, please criticize or i will rip your face out. I want to know what i did wrong, how to make it smoother, and what body movements i need to work on. Flaming will be thrown in Azkaban with the rats and Sirius's bloodthirsty corpse.
