imageshack was giving me beef. it was adding like, 5 pixels to the top of my flash. I fixed it up easily enough, but still, it was odd...

Vcam version

I like the vcam version. I think the shake adds more power to it. I think what would be cool is if you researched a piano chord sound effect. Seems fitting.

Also the final frame of the pose is sort of akward... the leg sort of makes him look like hes laying down or something. It sort of takes away from how much force he used to squash it. Posted a quick mock up of how you could consider changing it. So that hes in sort of a squat and very low to the ground. I'd also tweak the swatter rod a bit to show some bend and emphasize that its being pressed hard on the floor.

You dont have to fix it just something to consider in your future work.

Great job.

well its not really about whos is better. The purpose of this thread is to figure out ways of tackling the same task and making the most out of your idea in accomplishing that goal.

theres no prizes no nothing.

nah, i just want some commentary. i put several hours of work into it. i agree they're both better at animating than me. i tried some FBF, which i don't do much of at all. so I'm just plain curious

Can I use that mosquito banner instead because that really DOES make me angry. I'll hopefully get to this tomorrow, gj luis, are these gonna start as an actual competition when the next art compo starts?

Awsome idea but two questions...

1) Is this going to be made into a collab?
2) Can it be any insect?

I'm having a go at this :)

Lol
I think yours is best from what has been shown now.
Not in quality of good animation but as in originality.
Luis and shirtturtle´s flashes where animated good but kinda unoriginal.

Nice and all, but the task was specifically to animate a human figure getting angry and killing the bug - the idea being to try and convey anger in your figure. Robot arms dont get angry.

Aww when I read that the last person who posted in this was you I thought that you would have done a flash.

Do one.
NOW

Nah just kidding, sure you got a lot on your plate at the moment.

Also I liked your Krinkles. Original but as Tom said you needed to do a human expressing emotion - anger. Anyway it was well animated.

I did also like ShirtTurtles, not great animated but your style is classic.

And I obviously loved Luis's.

Yeah Krinkles basically failed.

You can be creative but you still have to solve the universal task which was to study the effects of force on the human body.

Anyway these will link up with ng art forum competitions eventually and just be regular practice weeklies in the time in between.

Its not a competitive unless its for a contest running on ng so quit saying who the winner is there is none.

Dont try and change the bug or make life complex. Its only a weekly task and youre already halfway into the week. stop it.
