looking at all teh anims,it seems like i got teh upper hand,on smoothness.teh body and the swishes,thats MY style,it may look nooby to YOU,but to me,it looks like a great new style.http://img142.imageshack.us/img142/1267/awsomeswordfightji7.gif , and yes,thats a sword.i suck at blood.you see,im just focusing on overall smoothness.THATS ALL,so beetween teh nooby seeming style,and the drawing of a sword thingy,and the blood,just focus on how SMOOTH it is.plz r&c.
I would say good. His legs spazz a bunch at the end when he launches himself backwards. And when he goes from not facing them, to smashing them with a sword I think was done incorrectly.
Because his upperbody turns 180, leaving his lower body stationary, then snaps around with the rest. Almost like an owls head. Try to fix that, and then it would look way better :)
Try making some?
Look at some real life explosions, look at other people's explosions, try it at least. I learned everything I know about animating by watching other people's animations.
