I am not going to comment on the ones where you said there are parts you need to fix because obvs you already know what's wrong with them.

Smooth run: It is smooth, but for a run, that's too much. It's like the foot gently falls on the floor as the rest of the body is rushing. The arms and back angle look awkward, too. Also, the way I see it, when the back ankle rises up, in relation to the stick it just goes up and then goes right. Have it curve into the new direction.

Physics test: The ball hangs in the air too much, and during that it slows down a lot. Keep momentum, man.

From those two I'll say med beginner.

On the punch test, you might want to have one frame where the arm is straight, because right now it looks less like a hook, and more like he's failing at punching himself. There could probably also be more back movement, since right now there is a lack of power. There is a bit of shakiness to be seen in the back, too. I think that the figure is also a bit off balance in the first few frames; try to make your poses more natural.

Might as well kick this thing back into gear again :P
Edit: Started something up again but I can't make sticks lol

Your update from 4/30 has my favorite animations. The hammer swing was done really well. The sword fights there were some weirdish movements but still good. One thing I hate though is all of these animations are unifinished. You should take your time and make them have a beginning middle and end and have fun with animating.

Bumpdate. Just some shorts for PP.

Alright Hype,

you got already some decent stuff there. And your PivotPoints opened me the eyes a bit. You are actually improving!
I liked a lot how you tried to show off the weight and made the movements looking dynamic! You kept the poses simply yet efficient enough to show off what's going on. That is really good!

The thing is why your animation lack in quality is just the framerate you're saving the gif. I'd suggest animating in a higher fps so you're animations get more fluid and appealing for the eye and you can start developing your style more.

Keep them coming man!

Courtesy?

Same as Blade ^^ The anim where you show up the wieght is quite good and dynamic really ^^ Just Keep it up ! What you're doing is really nice

uh I guess, that's a bump here. PM me for unlock hype ^^

Time to get back into the grove. I'll try my best to never let this thread get too inactive while I can do anything to stop it, so hopefully you won't see me post once every year anymore on this thread! CC is very much appreciated, and I'll even try and give courtesy if you just ask. Feel free to make me feel bad, I'm taking all sorts of criticism! (Don't make me suicidal, and it's all fair game)

Damn man its nice hearing this from you yo. i cant wait to see all the animations you make :D

You show a pretty solid understanding of the basics. I think you could just improve on your spacing and poses. Like, generally your animations need more frames to create a better flow.

Keep working my dude!

that jump was really bad i have to say, its like mid jump gravity shut off for a moment, other than that you can fix later due to self-realization

@Alexis - Great to hear from you as well!

@Chrono- Thanks, you keep going as well, and OMG ITS CHRONO

@AnimatoinWizard - I get my jumps all have issues, but which one are you referring to? I would assume the jump punch, but I could be mistaken. Thanks for the CC though

Two small animations when I had the time, it's not much, but I have no idea what I'm doing, so help, especially with the falling one would be very nice. Thank you all
