I don't think you understood what Hewitt said.


Based on my understanding of him, it was probably an insult to Mark? Correct me if you think otherwise.

It wasn't an insult really, it was more of a fact.

Also, even though you're right in this post, your other post does not make sense at all. Why call him an idiot for giving off a criticism? In fact, why tell him to ignore his criticisms? That's just counterproductive.

I wasn't serious. I'm sure Hewitt would get it.

Looks like I'm the only one laughing ;-;

Oh we got the joke loud and clear, it just wasnt funny.

Attempting to call me out then quickly backpedalling when logic saves the day? We have a junior Jutsu in the making here.

Since day 1 has S.A. have it out for me for some reason, but the problem is, nobody else but him is seeing it that way. You know you've got a bad judge of character when you're perceived to be worse than Externus

This would be a classic case of Veteran bullies Noob, when S.A. has recently proved that he actually enjoys having the last word and making senseless comebacks as a veiled attempt at superiority. I made one sentence critiquing his work. Not his person. The suddenly S.A. feels the need to badger me further than that, in the same way he badgered you for telling him to go outside and play. It's like he's bullying a dragon to get roasted or some shit.

And its not like he's a noob either, he just got frozen in ice during the Merge and came back acting like it's still 2012. S.A., you give a bad name to 2012-ers everywhere.

I liked Mark's john cena animation. That shit was gangster. Sure I wish it was longer and had the dude run out and do the whole john cena introduction, but it wasn't that kind of thing.

It's not right to criticize people for posting tiny snippets of animation in a thread designed for them to practice whatever they wanted to practice. Hell, I wish people wouldn't post threads in the flash section unless they had ten solid seconds of animation, but that doesn't mean there isn't anything that can't be criticized in a much shorter one.

Also, I didn't like your close up, Externus, but the guy getting shot wasn't so bad. The reactions seemed pretty on point.

So I definitely need to play some catchup, but I'm going to have a little bit of fun with it. Going to try a "watch the progress" sort of thing.

Anyway, here's the final result. (Now with heads! :D)

As always, any advice, CnC, or tips/tricks are appreciated.

1.) Resize. He got really tiny midair.

2.) Shaky limbs near the end.

3.) Stiff limbs(Specifically the arms) at the beginning. Don't stop moving them, even if they have to move just 1mm. Also, since it's a semi-hop-semi-jump, you need to either bend the back forward and backward more. It's way too stiff. Don't be afraid to move it.

4.) He looks like he's going to fall at the very end. You see, more than 2/3 of his body is leaning right, so if you were going to continue that animation, he would definitely fall down.

Personal Note: It's good but you still need to work on a lot of things. I'm seeing improvement and you're getting the concepts! Good job on that! Keep it up!

Also, this here is for my exercise with Externus but it will also serve as my #5 challenge:

I don't mind.

I'll let it be our Exercise #2(Me and Externus), so it should be good. You'll have to wait until next week though because our exercises has a week duration, so yeah.

I'll have it ready before Dec. 20 since Dec. 11 is the end for Exercise #1.

I don't like sending in my parts late.

Dang! Ah well. I'll take care of that next time.

2.) Shaky limbs near the end.


Yeah. I noticed that in this and a little bit in the unrust running animation I did earlier for this thread. Any idea how to fix this? It's got me stumped.

Will do!

This is true. In retrospect I probably should have continued the animation until his body was balanced again.

Thanks! That was really helpful.

EDIT: Okay, so I did the punches.

Just questioning but isn't it time for the next challenge since there has been a lot of off topic chit chat?
