Beginner Collection

Hello and welcome to my Thread. I hope you all enjoy my short animations despite the fact that most are unfinished. I do intend to finish most of these some day or another but it seems that creativity and time can be of shortage. I'll find the motivation sooner or later and will one day wow you all :D

This clearly isn't beginner quality so it makes no sense starting over there.

Looking forward to your DDC.

Honestly looking like it has some Vet potential thus far. One thing I would definitely fix is those steps you animated towards the end, the movement feels super constricted, little too fast and lacks the same level of smoothness the rest of the animation is set at. While the movement definitely isn't good, it's not bad either, the main problem is it doesn't stay consistent enough with the rest of the animation.

I understand you might have wanted to change the pace of the animation suddenly, and i'm a big fan of doing things like contrasting 2 levels of spacing. But you've gone a bit overboard here in my opinion, you can animate something faster and more powerful while still keeping everything as streamlined as the rest of the animation.

Some things I would change. Obviously a frame or 2 slower on the spacing side of things, bend the knees some more as the legs look a bit stiff (I realize the knees aren't visible but a bend can be implied by the direction the leg comes down in relation to the top of the frame) and most importantly make him strike the ground with his heel as opposed to flat footed.

Mini CC wall over nothing because I want you in Vets.

I like your animations man even though your not too Great with 2d movements you make up for it with great 3d ones you should try practicing 2d ones so you can become more well rounded but if anything I think it's best to just stick to your strengths cause it's seems to be getting you quite far :)

Can't believe I didn't see this thread 0.0

And as always, your animations are looking great, if you put a little more work into an animation, you could easily get vets,
hope you stay active :)

Yeah, that DDC preview is looking great. I can't wait to see the final product. Something I'd suggest though would be to add a slight shakiness when he's pulled the string back. I know when I pull back on a bow there's a small shake from struggle before I get it steady. It's no issue not having it, but in my opinion I think it would add a nice touch to it.

Not really an update on anything new (yet) but something from the good ol' days.
Trying to revive my channel a bit and actual start animating something new.
