A different one. I was planning on submitting it for a contest, but I didn't finish on time.

Your style is so old school, I love it!
I love how you mixed in your style with that 3-d water effect, it looked really nice
other than that I'm too afraid to talk about because im not sure if it's your style, or a habit.

Theory.... Welcome back my good friend. :D

I tried doing how your animations look. Anyways, SO FUCKING SMOOTH and I can't get over the choppiness at the end. ;________;

Sorry for the bump, but I'm not done with this animation yet. I've been busy working on a kickstarter video for a friend. But I just got back to working on this and I can't seem to get the fire right. I tried making it look like the fire from the intro of Legend of Korra, but clearly I failed. C&C on the fire please ;-; I might just scrap the fire I have now and try again later.

so what the hell, you dont animate for like 2 full years and then you animate one time and your just good again? MAKES NO SENCE, but twas awesome yo diggy.

smooth as fuck im liking it so far

Yay Theory you updated it! I've been like stalking this thread lol. I thought you might have quit.
Anyway the pose when he shoots the fire looks kind of odd. It might just be because it only a couple frames, I'll wait for you to add more before I make a final decision. The fire was good, maybe make it glow more but that's somewhat of a style preference. It looked too solid though. Anyway can't wait for water ;) Hopefully it's not to tough. If you need help there's an effects tutorial somewhere, he does a great water blast thing.

Here it is. It's an .fla but I found it really good.

lol thanks for the link. I've been playing around with a new style for fire and this is what I got: http://www.fileize.com/view/9d89c873-56d/
A lot more glow and i think the color seems right :D
The only problem I have is to make it look good on a white background

I think I might fix the pose too, it doesn't seem right..maybe if I add some more easing at the end though.

I think the gradient glow might help. What do you think?

It's really cool seeing you improve ever so slightly throughout the entire animation :D and the fire looks orgasmic of course

Theory!
stay active now :>
