I've been animating full body since I first begun but only 8 months ago I picked up stick fighting because I liked the style. I pretty much know all the basics, Impact gravity motion and so on, but im still perfecting my effects especial smoke.(Maybe I should stick to outline smoke instead of inside shading as well) but little things like dust and lens fare, glare and what not i'm good with or at least I know how to use every single god damm effects provided in flash (Not including all the frame by frame stuff). But by a far fetch I wouldn't call my self a beginner, rather intermediate because of knowledge in animating in the past (Referring to my full body skills) but besides that, I think everything will make sense once I add in more animation, however ill see what I can do to touch up on some parts so everything will seem like it fits together, otherwise Some parts are too fast for the human eye to realized what actually happening. (For example my RHG character falling down onto a floating island which makes the smoke cloud in the first place)
