Is this a good start?

I love the animation for the main character, but I can't stand the jagged lines. I think a little more anti-aliasing could do wonders for it You're using that dark blue-green as a shading color, and I think it could work well for anti-aliasing.

Jeez, I just love watching that animation, it's very nice and smooth!

Thanks Frawg, I'll try to do a little better with the anti-aliasing.


Also, does anyone have any links to some animation tutorials, this is really the first thing I've done like this and I'm just curious if there are any good tips or tricks out there.

Oh yeah and update


Should I add more pause between when he puts the pump down and when he starts pumping? I kinda like it fast like this, but I don't know whats best.

Errr, wha?

Your anim already has good sense of timing, anticipation, exaggeration etc, how about you write one yourself instead

Depends. If there's something off-screen you want the viewer to look at as well (like the harpoon hitting a big fat alien or something before it gets blown up), then a delay would probably be good. If all the viewer needs to see is the guy firing the harpoon and pumping the box, then it's fine as-is.

Your animation is great, I don't think you need a tut for it.

Haha, thanks you two, but I was just looking for some tricks, to maybe make it go by faster.

But seriously thanks. Made me smile.

Anyone know why whenever I try to open up a picture, I can't set the default program to GraphicsGale? It worked just fine when I had the free edition.

Yippee.
