looks lifelike to me and your very welcome ^^
i got a question, how were you able to do it? I wanted to to try something like this before traditionally, but it didn't work out too well. so i was wondering if you got any pointers or tips on how you were able to nail traditional animation well?

hmmm well what specifically do you want tips on?
Generally animation is done at 24 frames per second, so if you want an action to be done in 2 seconds, you gotta draw 48 drawings for it
meaning that an animation of only 10 seconds is gonna cost you 240 separate drawings.
Depending on what kind of animations you're making, effects or environmental; i focus on character animation, so it's all about expression, timing, body language, and the arcs and easing of your motion. I don't really show it so well here, it's a lot easier to go back and fix things digitally.
These guys show proper timing a bit better:

but yeah, try to think of what action or expression you're making, and really consider the timing involved. If you wanna give your viewer time to process what's going on, put a little pause between your important actions, like what I did with my animation of Szan transforming into different objects, there's about a 5 frame rest before the action resumes. If you bring the action to a complete stop, have something else move slightly so that there's always interest, like with my animation of Grumble, when he stops to raise his eyebrow, you can see a flag fluttering above his head...but take this at your own risk, you don't want to distract from your main subject, just compliment his stillness.
the only reason my traditional animation looks good is because I have a steadier hand on paper, so I can put in more details, and I just make my movements as gradual as I can, and remove frames in post that slow things down too much, I cut 2 or 3 frames out of this animation of Fangress because they either didn't look smooth, or they slowed down the action too much. Of course, I lost some of my easing in a few other parts, so this is by no means a perfect animation
Well if you have other more specific questions feel free to ask, I'm around on deviantart a lot
