The only crit i have is that the nose seems to wobble a bit too much, the rest of his body is pretty stable. In comparison his nose takes on a gummy appearance. |

Um, wow. I was daydreaming and the image of this happening cracked me up while sitting in my chair. So I was like, hell, i might as well draw it real quick in case i forget. So yea, lol. WARNING: Very quick work = Very crude animation. |

Last thursday I received from Amazon what I'm starting to believe is the greatest book EVER! Probably the best thing about it its size. It's so big I can hug it. I speak, of course, of The Animator's Survival Kit. Cooked up a generic walkcycle after reading through about half of it. Tell me what you think: (I know the arm is wrong, but I couldn't figure out how to do the timing+spacing on the way back. I await your comments and critiques with subtle anticipation. |

Good cycle. I'm glad you implemented what a lot of novice animators (like myself even =]) miss, which is the bobbing motion of the body while stepping. |

I was surprised to see just how much "change" tilting the beltline achieved. Removing the belt line, or even just the tilt, takes the animation down so many levels. |

Not bad for your first, Merai, not at all! Quite gooey in fact! That stick-man sure is crafty.  Have you submitted it to Newgrounds.com, yet? I've got a suggestion!--- if you'd care to read it. When your next stick animation (or otherwise) comes around--- give some thought to these prominent principles used in animation: If you look for them, you can see each of the aforementioned principles in these two stickmen. One is demonstrating the principles more strongly than the other. Be observant! The adjacent green/red dots show the position of the stickmen's head at any given frame. Watch how each side moves... the green dot seems to be just behind the red one, but they both actually end their sequence at the same time. One is moving dynamically, the other, in a linear fashion. The red dots works, but the green dot is just so more appealing. Mess around a little bit--- try applying some of those in your next piece, Merai! |

Pretty good, just try to maintain the character's size in each frame a bit more, it's actually really good for a mouse. |

Another JB walk I think I'll try and do a run next, or something else I haven't done yet. ps. Is there any way to change the brush size "on the fly"? I hate always having to move the mouse cursor away from my drawing just to change the size of the brush. Are there any buttons on the keyboard assigned to changing the size of the brush? |

I have a wacom, but I'm not to good with controlling the pressure. So with pressure sensitivity turned on my lines are usually kind of wobbly. |

Oh sweet jesus, all hail The Animator's Survival Kit, which IS the greatest book ever written. I have had the honour of being able to hire it from my local University Library for 6 weeks. Taught me alot of stuff. Also, yeah, I turn my pressure sensitivity off. |

Bloody great start! But finish it! Just remember to extend frame duration as the smoke expands. Awesome job!

I agree with the tutorial suggestion nelson!!! Oh god, I always try making nice explosions, but never manage doing it. Do you use many layers for a single explosion? |

http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f130/HishoHiro/Loading.swf This is just a loading sequence with an iPod. I wanted to see if anyone liked it and if I should take away the shadows and I need a suggestionon the background. I guess that I can't see whether or not the bar loads in the right direction... It's the Blue bar, like on an iPod... Okay, Whatever C&C welcome |

Very good for your first Daz! My only pointers now would be to just keep doing the same type of thing, you will gradually improve your timing and movement the more you practice. Was this walkcycle for anything in particular or just practicing? |
