Couldn't think of a funny idea for a cartoon (the humor style from the game I'm working on doesn't apply well to a cartoon, and I'm a terrible writer...), so I decided to work on animations for a character for a game I'm working on. I'm still trying to work on making the run cycle better, as I have little experience at animation. Criticism is GREATLY appreciated.

Yes, this is the same character that's currently in my avatar BTW...

Nice! But give him some bounce. He looks very stiff and unnatural there. Also, you should bend his arms a little so he doesn't look so strange.

One more 2D animation software that I think would be helpful. http://animationpaper.com/old-pap-free-download/

Pencil 2D is definitely buggy and has many problems that cause the software to "unexpectedly" shut down (or at least for Windows).

Alright, how's this?:

The old one is on the right. I still haven't messed much with the arms yet, but hopefully this is a step in the right direction...

What do you think can help improve your animation?

I don't think I'll have time to complete the entire cutscene by the deadline (seeing as I have to make a detailed model and texture of Mario's stylized face as well as other animated drawings). I did put a good amount of time into it, but it's been progressing at a turtle's pace. It will get done eventually (probably weeks from now), but this will suffice as my entry submission.

This was made in flipnote and is ~80 frames in length. Good thing I still have my old DSi handy. :cool:

Wow, I really like the hand drawn look to it. Was this made in Fli- oh, it was. I remember Flipnote Studio. Drawing random and terrible animations, getting shut down and promised that it would come to 3DS, Japan getting Flipnote Studio 2 and us not. Good times, goooood times...

But seriously, it looks awesome. I can't put my finger on what the style reminds me of...

People can still turn in an entry until the end of the 15th

I gotta drop out. Trying to learn how to skin + make a custom IK rig..and then animate in less than half a week was a bad idea lol. I'm too busy tomorrow to do something else =/

Well I started on something but my workable ideas didn't happen until before yesterday and today's a bad day for me to be attempting a last-minute dash. I gotta drop out of this one. I might try and do something with that later, though.

I'm almost done with my animation. Just gotta finish the last 20 seconds.

EDIT: Still the 15th where I am, done! Dang, this took a long time to finish.



Since there is no theme, I used Megaman/Rockman in my animation (no one said it had to be Mario-based).
The song is the intro theme from the Rockman.EXE anime.
And someday, I might make this a full-on series, as I have a pilot from a few months (or a year) ago. If you want to watch it, look it up on my channel (which this is uploaded from).
