I found out the best remedy for animator's block, for me, is listening to Motorhead at a very high volume.

Problem is I got a bit lazy at the end so I wrote NO. :D I've also become a but rusty, as you may have noticed.

Crits welcome. You too, Sunder.

What's animator's block? It was good, the legs were resizing and the NO. was lazy.

EDIT: Oh, lol. Thought it was an animating program.

It's when you have 0 inspiration and animation becomes tiresome...

I agree with Rab, you may want to up the fps. You're a good animator, but the low fps is really restricting

What I do if I manage to get into "Animator's block"
- listen to music
- watch some movie with kickass animation
- newgrounds
- I think of a project, I try to animate it

Animation was alright

What helps really good: Just doodle some shit and animate it for a good hour. Makes you clear your mind and after that I usually got rid of it.

I love it ;D!
After your Run Into Walls collab entries I didn't see this coming :0
I've never seen your other animations, except for the collab entries, so I can't tell how rusty you are. But that had a really nice fluid style :).
I also understand why you didn't finish it, I get lazy alot in hard moves, too.

Keep 'em coming!!

It was very good, actually, besides the ending.
Easing was very moderate.
Smooth animation overall.
Very fluid and consecutive flips; I thought they were well chained together.
The only problem is the easing on the end of the last flip; there ought to be more and the double framing is much, much too evident. Add some more easing there if you plan on finishing the landing.

Good job. I like it.


u know that means a lot :)
