Sage's Thread - Now with more Sexy

two joints added

they're not that good because i'm very lazy in joints

You need some smaller spacing in places like the bit where the guy ran off the edge of the cliff, and you need to work on your running movement. The back knee doesn't bend enough as it comes forwards.

Joint 1 : Pretty long, yet shaky and stiff in some parts.
Joint 2 : Much better than the first, you did well on this one.
Swordfight : Doesn't look that bad to me ... just try adding more movement, flow, easing and make it longer.
Swordplay: No Criticism Available
Runnin'And Flippin' : Well, the first flip looked weird and unrealistic, and watch his head, it's stiff in some parts. Other than that, great animation.
Knife Throw And Magic : The single part I don't like about this one is the blast. It's very small, and doesn't really look like a blast ... BUT, this is only a test, so I''ll leave it at that for now ...
high kick to punch combo : Pretty shaky and stiff in some parts ...
Pawnch : Flawless
Smooth? : Yes
pivot ani with flashed hair(doesn't loop) : Umm ... it is short and lacks movement, easing and flow. Take care of this one
my part of another unfinished joint : The flip kind of came out of nowhere, but the rest was good ...
And as for the other animations ... I'm too tired to comment on all of them, but my guess is that you get better and better from animation to animation ...
Keep on pivoting!

thank you for the cc!
it's greatly appreciated

Really nice; just a bit simple.

On the newest one, try deleting a couple of frames just before he falls over. If you watch the spacing of the head you'll see it slows down a bit before he falls - you want to try to get that head not slowing at all until it hits the ground. Besides that it's lovely.

Great foot placement on the new one(:

Horrible.


Just kiddin', I like it.

When he lands, his arms were weird and he should of absorbed the impact more.
And the beginning he should of not had so much frames of easing.

wow justin

changed it a bit. is it better or worse than before?

I like the landing, but I'd say he doesn't hang in the air long enough.

Update

i like the outline effect

Same here, dawg.

wait wut

Dang Sage that animation looks niceee!

thanks

Click for update

Nice.

I still want to know how you did the outline thing. I presume you didn't actually have hundreds of little sticks and do it by redrawing. A white stick on top of a larger black stick was my first thought but the different lengths would surely mess up every joint.

zed on youtube type in outline effect and the uploader should be atokiinaro
