Slow walking...(the guys hands are in his pocket)

I was gonna add something to it, like some guy that wants to fight him, but I'd rather wait, and see what people think about it first.

EDIT: ( i bet no one cares about this since its "old") buut...i figured out when i was looking at the frames, there was a double frame in it. :P

*Sigh* . . . that wasn't really a flame . . . what I meant by it had everything wrong with it was that it was choppy, stiff, and uneased, so to fix those you should look at tuts

I gave you advice and you took it the wrong way
Misunderstanding . . . ain't it a bitch (a little humor there if you got that)

anyway, what i meant was scale it down to 1/2, or else it takes up the whole page (Like your post did), and if they're scaled right, it should only take about what 2 average sized text posts would be.

EDIT: Spartan, nice walk there . . . it's pretty smooth but i see a little jerk, most likely because it's a loop, but yeah remember to try to keep it looking smooth the whole animation, and don't get lazy and try to speed things up by not trying. Keep it up DAWG!!1!11one1!

Well, that was spam. Anyway, where's that stickman that everyone uses, the one in die's signature?

Alright, I checked out the guide on DarkDemon.org and tried the uppercut.

I realize it's pretty crap, but it's my first attempt.

EDIT:

And a slide punch.

Slide punch in action.

Actually I have looked at tutorials for easing, it's in there. And of course it's choppy, it's my first attempt at it with a completely different stickman.

The Stick really shouldn't matter, and there shouldn't be any explanation for it being choppy if you're following a frame by frame tut, but at least you're getting some of the movements down

Some things i see wrong are that in one frame he move a bunch, then everything stops for 1 other limb to move
you should move everything equally and in unison, unless one limb is easing while the others keep going

EDIT: also I don't think you can slide and punch, lol

Well, it was a new stickman to me, and kind of confusing to move because he had all these different joints.

Yes, about the movement, that's the fault of the tutorial. I was trying to follow it exactly and it only told me one thing at a time.

If I were you I'd get used to that stick, cause it's a wonderful base stick for tests and small fights if you're not using specifically colored, or specially designed sticks for story anims


but they're good extras to beat the shit outta :P
