Erm... last time i uploaded this it was like 10 seconds of animation and it got like blammed or whatever... this is after a month of me working on it and animation sure is hard but it gives me an appreciation for indie animators and one man teams. Also gives me more of an understanding on how action poses and key frames work. I sure am learning a lot like a good little artist.

No references have been used except for me right hand for specific hand positions. every pose you see is from memory and i struggled to draw out a lot of these scenarios and kept re-drawing them until it looked right. the only thing i really do dislike are the impact frames as i do not really understand how they work. I also suck at walk cycles cuz i never really draw my funny characters walking unless it's having one foot forward. drawing front facing and full one sided versions of the characters was extremely weird due to my art style making the legs weirdly fat/thick, so body proportions and character profiles are definitely something i have to work on. Thanks for reading, please give me lots of criticism and tips. I truly do appreciate your time and words.

(maybe drawing frame by frame was a mistake? do indie animators still animate this way? i was thinking on trying rigs after this to see if i can to it better)
