Description There you go, second animation in the lot. And since some of you asked for color, there it is! (despite the fact this process took about 80% of the total amount of time spent on this animation). I had plans for more elements into this one, but I think it will be fine as is.


The movements didn't turn out exactly as I wanted them to be, and I had a hard time with those hammers (merci Γ‰milie ), but in overall I'm kinda proud of this one. And hey, it features Mario. MAAAAAARIO!! *fangirls*


My God, I'll be so tired at work tomorrow.


Drawn with Wacom 6x8" Intuos3 tablet. Total time spent : 25+ hours in Flash MX 2004.

It goes very well with the song I'm hearing right now XD
You did an awesome job on this. My fav part here are the expressions
I really luv the movements here. It's hard to do something like this.

I'm curious as to know what song you've been listening to when you watched this.

There's a lesson here. Always watch the shells you throw. I learned that the hard way.(in Super Mario World)

TheBourgyman In reply to Deuterag0nisT [2008-02-15 03:16:39 +0000 UTC]

I think we all learned it in one way or another in a classic Mario game.

Wow, lol, that was great! I was suspecting Mario was gonna' get it from the title. The best part was probably the Hammer Bro's hammer spinning after the shell for a little bit, it was a nice touch.

Where do you find the time, strength, and effort to make these?!

As an animator, I'm lucky if I can barely fit a good hour a day into a peice. D; (except for those days where you just wake up in the morning and clock in like 10 hours of work, those are wierd.)

TheBourgyman In reply to LilGrim1991 [2008-02-15 03:06:33 +0000 UTC]

Time? I'm currently working outside the town I usually live, and don't have much activities here. So I try to use to few hours left in my day to draw. It's about the only thing I can do right now. Strength? I've had animation classes a few years ago, so I was conditionned into it. Effort? I guess it's a matter of motivation (which is surprising to me cause I've been rather unmotivated lately).

When your an animator, I guess you really have to motivate yourself and have self-discipline. Try to allow you a specific amount of time to draw in a day. That'll keep you from growing tired of drawing because of those 10-hour long work sessions (I know I would, from experience)

Jazuar In reply to ??? [2008-02-13 08:38:44 +0000 UTC]

very cool : P
and smoothly animated
although it probably doesn't matter which way he's looking, he's extremely short sited (about 150px/5m in the earlier games?)

{your avatar rocks too}

TheBourgyman In reply to Jazuar [2008-02-15 03:15:22 +0000 UTC]

Thanks! Well yeah, the screen didn't allow for much sight, but at least Mario could see what,s coming from behind (except in that video, apparently)

And glad you like my avatar.

hey yeah, he can see backwards, thats a good point
maybe someone was away-from-controller?
thats always a drawback in being controlled remotely by someone else

Never befriend with a Koopa... you never know when they'll be backstabbing you with their shells!
