i kno alot of people think that stickman flashes are stupid but if someone does it right a stickman flash could end up being incredibly good, now with my mouse the way it is i cant draw a flash character to save my life, so i usually do stick drawings instead, never did a stickamn flash yet but im hopeing i can do a good stickman flash soon, what do you guys think?

I know ive been ass, but I will give you a pointer if youre going to go for stickmen instead of applying yourself to your new art tools...

If what you do is done well, it shall succeed.

In regard to stick animation, if you have consistent anatomy, fluent animation with plenty of frames, good choreography and audio, people will eat it up.

I'd say stick with stick men

see what i did there?

that is, until you get a good mouse. Try adding humor/action or something like that and you're good to go.

Yes, there have been very successful stickmen animations out there.

Do you want to know why they were successful?

Because they weren't a little 2D bunch of lines on a page. The successful ones tend to be just like a normal flash movie with good backgrounds, a pseudo 3D look and quality animation. The only difference between them and a normal animation is the 'stick man' look on the characters.
