Here are some ants from a game that will never get finished (: I don't have anything new to post but this thread seems to be getting a bit angry...

I don't really like animating by separating the body parts and tweening but it seemed the more logical way to do it. The walk cycle annoys the shit out of me too, but I can't do anything about it now because Flash isn't installed on my new PC.

Mexifry's such an asshole... coool ants Sam bro.

Sure its animation, but its not animation that's beneficial toward artistic growth.
IMO if you made something and you haven't learned from it, you are wasting your time.

Artistic growth on newgrounds.

haven't seen someone try on here in a while.

But dude you cant force people to develop talent, you cant force them to grow artistically, it makes you seem like a huge douche bag.

nobodies forcing anybody to do anything. it was just a comment. practice should be to improve yourself. people should be trying to grow out of making badly animated stick figures and move on. read books on it, start working harder. i dont get why you guys are so mad the animation just wasnt good. and you guys are turning it itnto something huge. everybody move on.

you remind me of how i acted a year or two ago. if somebody didnt like something shitty i made it get pretty defensive over it when really you dont need to. everybody get over themselves.

There's a fine line between constructive comments and arrogance.

true, but is it not true that the animations are bad? maybe it was arrogant or rude, but it doesnt make it less true. also arrogance

@mickharris: keep you upper teeth static. Seriously, dont lecture ppl, you are annoying. Hey! you are supposed to be an animator, think you can make one of those anime fight loops? id really like you to make one, honestly!

Back to manga animation and fight scenes...well, ive tried searching youtube and google for how japanese do it or any reference but there was anything useful, id really like to know how those guys make their shit

people dont even take constructive criticism. this kid's head's way up his ass. cloudeaters trying to help him move out of the stick animation phase. mickharris gave luis some good advice but you know constructive criticism can't have that here only dbz stick figures. people should be working harder. its like this place doesn't want help

Trying to restore this thread to it's former glory:
Skip Cycle WIP
Done in around ten hours. I originally had light colors on the left of the skirt and upper body but removed them because they did not flow together well. I left in the lighting on the legs and shoes because they flow better and are minute. I wanted the angle to be interesting and I think I managed.

I may or may not finish. The xmas flash I started 3 days before christmas was, for obvious reasons not finished in time, so I am not working as much on it. I modified it to not be christmas themed and therefor this cycle is no longer needed.

i attempted a fire loop

The face moves smoothly but only because you haven't redrawn anything. The hair is completely everywhere!? what's with that?

I didn't do this with the intention of 'practising' but it turned out to be really good practice. I learnt heaps from doing this and when I finished it I thought it was heaps good but now after only a week I already see heaps of flaws in it and no longer think it's so good... :|

lol got that damn song stuck in my head at work

good stuff so far its good to see some of the progress work before seeing a bit of the process of how the dancer sequence in rough will look like.

I'd really like to practice some character animation, Can someone in this thread record some random line that lasts 4-9 seconds long for me? It could be anything, I would prefer that the sentence makes sense though.

Here's something i did a few days after New Years while i was sick.
I get depressed when im sick and having noticed that i hadnt released an animation in 3 years i got anxious and started this......
of course out of my sick haze i further realize i have a 20-something minute animation waiting to drop and that making storyless dance animations is not my thing at all so i wont be continuing it.
It's neat anyways.
