Teleport/Kick test

Author Comments

Hey, just randomly made this cycle. i dont even know what hes doing, its like a teleport-kick-punch of some sort xD. anyway, ive been thinking of starting stick animation (not nooby stick animation (you know what i mean)) thanks to the people from FluidAnims that have inspired me eg. terkoiz, micool, stone. All awesome animators that i hope to be like some day, im 15 and am not expecting to be as good as them any time soon lol. so just plz comment, and tell me any ways of which i could improve.

Whoa, What?

First off, I really like the background. The whole radial green gradient thing was simple but effective, and the rocks and stars and color scheme were pretty darn cool...

But the animation?! Definitely not! I don't see how people are saying it's smooth at all! The movements are extremely wobbly, and if you pause it and look at it frame by frame, it's because the body positioning is totally off! The limbs are not the right length and maintain no continuity between frames! The kick should have a lot more buildup, and then the kick should be sustained longer as your stick figure floats through the air a little bit, carried by his momentum, until he touches down.

As for the teleportation, the particle effects could use some work. They should be getting smaller and smaller with each frame, which you did, but you just made them vanish after a certain point. They should get smaller and smaller until you can barely see them, and then remove them entirely. On top of that, you need particles to expand outward from any type of explosion, to show the viewer that the teleportation cloud is smoke-like.

1. I dont really see a purpose in having a test on newgrounds

2. The animation looks just fine. good luck

good test

It looks great and is very smooth

in my oppinion the stickman should be done with a thicker line but it depends on your veiw

short

okay this is a test but a little too short. But the animation is really fluid and Id like to see a bigger animation by you.

FlashChickBoom responds:

Thank you and will do . A short fight should be coming soon. not this short lol :)

Too short!

For the few seconds you show us the animation looks good and stylish.
I hope you can keep this up with a bigger project.

I guess you uploaded this to get some first impressions?
It's good, but try to refrain from showing your work too early.

FlashChickBoom responds:

Yes, thats exactly why i uploaded it, or else i know its short. The only reason i did show this is to see if i should go on. Thank you for your review, and this will be going on to a bigger project.
