First time animator

[ninjay]

First time trying at animate! It's super crappy, but I am happy about it.

Finn the Human!

The part that's finished looks pretty good to me. And you'll only get better from here.

I was just watching some Adventure Time today. It reminds me that I should get back to that NDS game, it's pretty good. A spriter based game could have great potential, if done right.

Great work for a start Ninjay! : )

One suggestion I have for future animations: notice the size of the legs/ feet: since the character is in a particular angle of perspective, his leftern leg (in the bottom) and foot may look slighly thinner or smaller than his rightern leg/foot, so whatever is closer to the camera may be slightly bigger, or at least not smaller, (to me the leftern foot is looking slighly bigger than the rightern foot, which should be the contrary.) Hope it helps!

I think the biggest challenge for starting animators is to create animation where everything is not moving at the same time. I mean often all the key changes happens at the same time.

The other important thing would be to anchors those feet to the ground, now there are floating.

Then let's add a surfing board on water, say there's a boss that will pop out of water and the character's waiting for it, justifies all the moving :p

Thanks for all of the suggestions and support!!!!!

I want to learn how to use the anchors, but I think I need to get pro first. I will be buying it next weekend.

Here is the updated sprite.
