A small little 2 kick combo I whipped up. It was originally supposed to go into something else, but I didn't feel like committing to it.
Also, a first try at particles. I might do some other stuff regarding effects later this week.

EDIT: Here's a secondary link for those that can't go on dA for some odd reason.

If you're going to post stuff on DA, PLEASE put this code into the last frame:
gotoAndPlay(1);

When my cpu opens a new page, it starts out small and I have to manually maximize it. And by the time I do that, I can't see much of the anim.

I liked it, it was pretty smooth, not much bad I can say about it, it was pretty short though, so I don't really know what to comment about.
Well actually I do, I don't think the particles stayed in the air long enough.
Let them linger a bit.
Just keep working, it was pretty good.

For yours and others sakes then, I'll host it somewhere else. I only post it on dA because I need more Watchers and pageviews, lol.

Thanks for the comments. I'll try to keep your advice in mind for next time I do particles. I'm not really accustomed to doing effects. :|

I'll contribute.
The particles are terrible because:

1- They disappear too quickly.

2- They are in an exploding type motion, instead of trailing in the direction of the kick.

3- There shouldn't be any particles to begin with.

idk.

Yeah, I'll take those into account too, because you definitely know your shit with effects. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.

His arms were in an awkward pose. They started out like v's, but then he pulled them in, even though he hadn't done anything with them. I would have positioned the arms by his side in the beginning.

Particles: Refer to Arch-Angel's post.

Add feet.

The way I leave the arms is a habit which I carried over from my Pivot animating. I always thought I should change it, but it feels like a natural fighting pose >:| If I continued with it and added another attack like I intended, it probably would've looked better. I'll probably fix this, and add feet, later when I animate in the future.

smooth looking. i dont quite understand the motion lines tho. seems like it would be complete without them.
