Below is another animation exercise completed recently, going a little medieval this time as a guy with a sword and a training dummy have at it.
As always crits and comments are welcome :)

2 Thoughts on “Swordplay”

    Hey Andy,
    thanks a lot for your feedback. Man, you have got some AWESOME work here! I simply love your drawings, a lot of force in every single one! Amazing work, very inspiring. I also like your animation test, very well animated. If I would have to comment on anything at all, I would only say that the weight of the sword is not consistent during the shot. At some moments it feels a little bit lighter, but this is SUPER nitpicky note, actually someone else may tell that it is totally perfect and may be right. It was just my first impression. Lot and lot of fantastic work!

    Cheers,

    Maciek

    Hey Maciek, thanks for the feedback – I can definitely see what you mean, I may have to revisit it and tweak the timing and spacing a bit to keep the weight consistent. Thanks for stopping by!
