Is this a good rough animation?

[Achronos]

Hey people of NG I was doing some practice animation and I wanted to see what I can improve on. The animation is Really rough and sketchy so not a lot of details going on but you see what I'm trying to do. Anyways here is the link...tell me how I can improve it, but don't say like " color it" or " do the actual lines" or something because I already am, I'm talking about the motion of the character, it is OK? Does it look good, that kind of stuff. OK well...that's it
PEACE!!!

I think you'd like to know it looks pretty good to an outsider. Definitely good stuff there. Might be improved with some adjustments to the consistency of limb and body part sizes over the keyframes, and maybe some more cushioning to the movement besides...

Would you mind posting another swf that goes maybe 3x 4x slower so as to study it better?

Animation is pretty choppy, and there's no acceleration in the arm movements. He looks robotic.

Yea there's like a missing frame between where he does whatever to where both his arms flail up. other than that (and the cross face, which i know is just there for reference i hope) it's good

[Achronos]

Awesome thatnks for the advice guys I'll work on it more. Oh and remember this is just a rough animation I'll add those other inbetweens later. Thanks anyways. And yes the cross face will be removed. this is what the actual character looks like..( sorry about the quality it kinda messed up)

The animation looks stiff, and there's no real easing in between your major key frames. Keep trying to smooth it out. And pay attention to the inverse and forward kinematics that the various parts of the body undergo.

it's good, but its too slow, how bout adding the Frame Rate?
I dont like sketchy animation, cuz it dint show ur true ability.... :P
