So I haven't uploaded in awhile due to finals. I've been animating along the way, but nothing big.

I've been watching Legend of Korra, and decided I would animate bending in order to break my Finals-induced hiatus.

Here are two things I have animated recently, the people on deviantart loved them:

A Firebender (no sound):

An Earthbender:

Any thoughts? Criticism is welcome.

Thoughts?
Fire should drag out a bit longer before dissipating.

Earth, I was expecting him to touch the rock before it went forward.
Like a thrust instead of it slowly following.

I understand the fire thing, the fire didn't linger out for very long. However, I actually planned for there to be a delay on the earthbender. When I watched LoK, I noticed that when the punch motion was completed, the rocks didn't move until the very end. Implying they are manipulating the rock, not hitting it.

Thank you for your criticism, however, as I will definitely keep your thoughts in mind.
