As a non beginner, I'm allowed to post my animations here? I just don't get any attention on my thread xD

I made a combo, normal version:

Exaggerated:

So, it's been awhile, how are people?

Thats a pretty good combo, but i feel like you can put more power into the first punch to emphasize the attack and the last couple frames after the guy got kicked, his arms were stiff. Good job though :D

Thank you Zed for ur advice :). I tried to use it in these two tests :D
Sorry again... ya there on youtube again o^o XD

tried a good combo :P
GUN TEST:

the second one I thought turned out good because it turned out very smooth :). 30 FPS!

Sir,get out of the beginner thread.

I know he needs to shake on his working. LoL

Quote from Volver

He is still beginner, unfortunately he still has shakiness within the animation. @Stickly, I suggest just working on that, just make sure when animating that a limb doesn't go back on itself without flow and easing, got that?

Thanks Volver :). where did u see limbs misplaced? :P (just curious)

Oh and good job on ur anim! it was very smooth.

First Animation in years (year and a half). Zed, I hope this catches your eye. Just CnC the sh*t out of it.

Thanks man, and I was explaining what creates shakiness within an animation, it was just a noticeable problem in your animation :/ just keep an eye out.

I'm gonna give it a try...
Hmm....shit I forgot how to do this..

Well, the fall could have been faster, unless you were going for the low gravity thing. Foot placement wasn't quite perfect and the legs were darn stiff...?

Yeah I have no idea, it looks damn good to me.

Yeah foot placements sucks cuz i didn't use the dot.stk for foot placement. And yeah legs are pretty stiff when he's punching but what can i do? They aren't supposed to bend when he's punching.

It looks really nice to me. Only thing I'd do different would be to put a bit more swing into the arms as he jumps.

Yup... And i just realized that it's missing some flow after the second punch.

That was nice Radon. Nice and clean.

Your question about what to do with the legs is answered by asking why the figure is walking at all. How likely is it that someone who is punching (that is the main goal of the animation, I assume - punching) will step forward evenly with each punch? Try and do it yourself. It feels all wrong. There is no power in the punches and your balance is messed up because you're trying to step too quickly.

I'd suggest you try and make the animation closer to human movement, and in doing so the animation will make more visual sense - it'll be more believable. Perhaps he should take a single, larger step. Try that, punch twice and take one step as you do. Much more natural, and powerful, right? You get a more controlled (faster!) jabbing punch action, that is much more viable in a fight. The resulting animation shouldn't have the stiff leg problem and it should be easier to animate, as where the figure's limbs go will more or less decide itself.

My point is, if you're having trouble animating a movement, take a step back (hah!) from what you're working on and try to do it. It can teach you a lot about what is wrong and why and where. Sometimes you don't need to, if it's a movement you're familiar with, or if you're being cartoony, of course. It does help sometimes, though.

I made this the other day, and whilst it's cartoony in places, the way the figure throws the ball and hangs slightly after doing so came from pretending to do it for real. I admit I felt a bit silly doing it, but hey, sacrifices yano. ;)

Hope this helps.
