Mario Animation [wip]

[coMpLekS]

Just showing a mario animation I'm wrapping it up atm. It will be up on newgrounds in less than a week. Thoughts/Suggestions? I'm not fishing for compliments, do your worst.

I'm not sure if your swimming animation is suppose to look derpy like that (no offence) but if it isn't, try making the arms do that movement at shoulder height rather than swinging his arms at the waist.

Really that's all I can say, otherwise I enjoyed it. You have a nice cartoony style.

None taken. I actually tried to make everything, not just the swimming, as derpy as possible. If the swimming animation looks too awkward, I may tweak it a little bit. I appreciate the feedback.

So... much... motion tweening...

I feel like you're trying to fill in spaces with repeated drawings and slow motion tweens. The drawings are good, but it kind of dragged on towards the end, and I lost interest. What wasn't motion tweened (ie the swimming) also seemed really awkward, since I think I only saw 3-4 frames looped over and over again. I realize that drawing each frame and making more frame-by-frame is annoying and time-consuming, but it pays off when it looks really good in the end. To me, it seems like you made a bunch of nice drawings, and wanted to force the images to last an entire song.

I have to say its probably going to get daily 1st or 2nd :D I like that I love the style for example the not using a black line using dark color. I think over all animation doesn't have much Fbf, but as said the derpyiness works out all together could make the blood shots not lines but like bigger and have a tint of the water color on the blood, also I like the concept and idea ever doing another short and need someone that know pretty good Fbf id like to talk :D

Webufs, you pretty much hit the nail on the head with that one. All my animations so far (not many, this is my 3rd one) have used tweens for everything. This is actually the first one that IâEUTMve done that uses a little frame by frame. IâEUTMll try and add a little more in the next few days. Maybe IâEUTMll have the fish move around their fins or something to liven the animation up a bit where it drags near the end.

LazyAss23, thatâEUTMd be sick. As for the blood, maybe IâEUTMll add some blurred blood to it so it doesnâEUTMt look so sharp and linear. I just hope it doesnâEUTMt take up too much CPU to run it. And like I was telling Webufs, Fbf isnâEUTMt my forte so maybe down the road man.

I appreciate the feedback guys.
