Hello! As some of you know, I'm on a mission to get an animation onto the front page of stickpage, and this last week I've been reorienting myself with everything so I can hopefully proceed.

Firstly, before I found my tablet, I made an animation just to reorient myself to flash (with a mouse this took me far longer than I care to admit).

Then I hooked up my tablet, and messing around with it I made this quick test to see if I could still do the first basic thing, a run cycle. It came out pretty badly, don't judge me!

Once I got used to the tablet again, I think I improved a bit in another little session.

So, that's my level grinding for the week. Hopefully I can man up and make something decently long soon. Feel free to praise my legendary skills or tell me I'm bad and should feel bad. Thanks for viewing anyway!

You're overusing freetransform. especially in the first one, it looks extremely lazy.

But other than that its not too terrible, its smooth, and you seem to have a basic understanding of easing, keep practicing

Hmm yes in the first one all I had was my mouse, which without lots of practice is hard to draw consistently with. Luckily I don't have to deal with that any more!

Well it's an old Wacom Intuos 3 from four or so years ago, but it certainly helps! Thanks for the support.

I like the style, looks clean and very smooth ha. Neon pretty much covered it so I'd say just go make more! :D

on the laast anim the first punch was stayed on place for too much

and on the run loop his body wasn't inclined enough

You make nice smooth animations, but on the mouse one you used too much free transform. It makes the animation look sloppy/lazy. But the rest was good :D

Yay! Hopefully I can make something full length soon, although that is a lot of work to jump into.

True, although the last punch was kind of meant to be a freeze frame because I didn't really want to animate it anymore :P

Yep, gotta grind up more before I can get to PVP.

Oh excellent, because I pretty much disown the first one. Maybe I shouldn't have put it up!
