This is the battlezone and not the Community Animations section. So try to keep the topic and don't just say both battles were bad.
On top of that you can just try to give some constructive CnC even if that would be another whole page in your opinion. But obviously you don't really care, you just wanted to say that they are bad instead of trying to help them.
and what's with the "I can do something way better than you in two hours" ?
That's just lame and pretty obvious if you are already animating for some time and he is just a beginner. So stop acting arrogantly.
If you want to act like this go to irc or settle this through PM.
Alright, you've proven your point. I've made myself look like a d**k. I'm really sorry, hopefully you can forgive me. I guess we can't express what we feel about the animations in the "battlezone", seems like there are some new rules here because we over at Fluidanims were capable of doing that. Too bad only kids are here who can't stand up to truth. Please, go cry to your mommy.
What's with "I can do something way better than you in two hours". Don't forget I said "Also, don't take this as bragging, I just wanted to let you know that 2 days is plenty of time to make something decent." He was making excuses for making a bad animation due to working for only 2 days. With that attitude, he won't improve too very fast. It may seem arrogant, but..nevermind.
I'll give this a constructive enough criticism than:
Let us begin with your intro. It actually makes no sense at first, but after a few times you can realise that the stickman punches your "desktop".
Why is does it make no sense?
Well, that's all because of the way you animated it. There is no smoothing, no easing, no force - just slow weak movements. So yeah, with practise you'll learn to work with easing, smoothing and force.
Beginning of the animation itself: Well the reds stance and blues is actually alright, the problem starts when blue starts moving. Yet again, you miss easing, force and (We have a new one!) anticipation. When the fire reaches the red stickfigure, your sword slash misses easing as well - and you'll learn all that with practise and working with future animations.
Your tentacle doesn't feel like a tentacle at all. It's too stiff, so work on that one too. You have to also work on it's movements, but you'll learn that too.
Actually,...
...Flashwire has already given proper CnC to you two.
I guess I'll leave for good now, no point in talking here any longer - take this however you want kids.
