Hey, there, I'm Kieth (That's Kieth) and I make small animations. I have also never really finished a major project, but oh well. So take a look and see what you think.

Pokemon Thing:

I've decided to start animating pokemon. I've been experimenting with different animals so I thought I'd give it a go.
What I have made so far:

It's only short but I'd like to know what people think

Thanks for looking!

There should have been more build up on the jump and the run poses looked well off, and the whole thing just looked a bit odd and lacked a lot of flow, I'd say low beginner to medium beginner.

Edit: But you seem to be developing a nice smooth style and I just thought it needs a little touching up and you're all good

Change my mind.

There was shakiness when flipping.

The bottom animation seemed a bit pointless tbh, it was only a few frames. Also, there is something about your animations that ruins it or me but I can't figure it out. They need more life if you know what I mean, they look a bit like puppets or ragdolls, not real people. I don't know what it is about it that makes it seem so but I would put it down to poses and not being shaky meh thinks.

Hmm, these aren't too bad. Your easing and 'animating basics' so to speak are basically fine, but your movements aren't very coherent or realistic; in the first one the figure moves sidewards after pushing off the wall paying no heed to gravity. The move outwards and the fall ought to be combined into a single, more fluid motion. But I'm definitely seeing some potential here. [:

In summary, have a look at making your motions more fluid, and then try and introduce more stuff into your animations, like other figures, weapons, detailed scenery, etc. Good luck!
