Hi Lasky. I moved your thread from the Anonymous section to Beginners Hall. If you want to post in Anonymous you'll have to sign out of your regular account. When you go to the Anonymous section you'll be asked for the password where you'll enter it in. Then you should be able to post a topic as a guest. The point of the section is to post anonymously so that people won't know it's you. It's not usually used for threads.
Your animations are quite nice. A lot better than I expected actually. I'm guessing you've been animating for quite a few months at the very least. I can't give much advice really, because I can see that you've got a good understanding of easing and some basic grasp on flow. I think all you've got to do is just keep practicing and trying new things, and as always, have fun doing it.
I will say that on the top animation, the kick attack doesn't seem clear enough. It still looks okay and works with the momentum you had going, but the pose is hard to see. I think if you slowed down the momentum a bit before the kick it would look better. Basically, ease the entire body after he is pushed, then ease back to the right where he kicks out, then ease back in the other direction where he runs off the screen. This way, you also get a change of direction in the spacing which gives more power. Change of direction to display power is a hard thing to grasp even for lots of Intermediates so it's ok if you don't understand what I'm saying at this point. Just try to make your attacks clearer by slowing down when needed.
But other than that, great job. I think you've got loads of potential.
