Im looking for some Comments and some Criticism for my animations. Im still really new to it all so yeah:

Link 1

Link 2

Link 3


I actually want to get better so if you wouldn't mind actually comment, and maybe give me some tips.

The 3rd one isn't working.
I really liked the second one, add another guy so you can work on reactions.
There are some moments in which you put in too few frames, only the really fast movements need few frames all other movements look smoother with more frames.
The first kick looked a bit unfinished now that I look at it, just give it a frame where the leg is straight and then ease it 'till he steps. The last kick was freaking awesome, how it extended and then the recoil is just very eye pleasing.
Now go add another guy to the 2nd animation and finish it so that after the kick he stepes on the ground and stands up straight.

Hey, I've fixed Link 3. Im crappy at reactions but ill try

like it, it's so smooth, is it in terk's tut? he's tut is so helpful.

it is actually pretty good, i'll just say, work more on the anticipation ( if you know what i mean?)
:)

good job

Yeah, I used the first one as a direct recreation. then I pretty much followed his idea of keeping you weight in the centre of the body, which after a few years of boxing, and reaching 6 months of wing chun, makes a lot of sense.

I don't really like the trails in the second one, the blurs annoy me somehow lol.
After he did the last sweep in the first one, his knee wobbles, and he recovers a little too fast.

I wouldn't recommend double framing the spin kick in the second one, it takes away a lot of flow and makes it look choppy.

and the only real thing that bothered me in the last one, is that he's always looking down/head is forward.


just keep practicing, you're getting better

I noticed they were quite wobbly, you need to make force behind the attacks and please for heavens sake, give them an opponent. Love the background on the first one, nice job.

I see what you mean. with the front leg? I'll fix that and stuff. thanks for your criticism man. I'll try to improve on that stuff you said you didn't really enjoy.

@ Specked - I don't really get how you think they're quite wobbly(if you were more specific, like Neon saying it was the leg at the end of the last sweep in the first anim.), and if you check my other posts you can see how much more force I'm giving each attack. Yes I'm going to put some dummies to practice my reactions. One step at a time bro.

I'm not criticizing you're "other posts" I'm just giving you tips on these animations in THIS post. As for the wobbles, at the end of the first animation his legs go all wacky (like neon said), on the second attack from the second ani his left leg has an unnecessary jerking motion, and something about the third ani was lacking force (imo). Is that specific enough? Also I meant adding an opponent for future references.

these are really good especially considering that you are still new to animating :D
I reall liked the first one and i believe it was your most fluid. maybe just double frame the elbow to sorta emphasize it more? besides that it is very good and i can't wait to see more from you in the future ;)

Listen to Mr. Neon.

Keep the back, straight up, and the head too, It should look like this: | <-- spine, Not _ <-- spine is too near the ground.

Never give up. and nice animations.

@ Specked, thanks for the advice. I wasn't trying to be rude or anything, I just didn't really get what you were saying.

@ toramaki, thanks man, I'll try with more double framing and stuff. each of these took me about 1/2 an hour to make.

@ George DA | FA, thank you as well (thanks thanks thanks :P). All you guys are great.
