Click on 'Download to Desktop' or hit this [link] and make sure your compy supports DivXBeen busy these past few days with this.
I wanna bring Zeph into life by means of animation, and through it, workout my skill as a 2D animator.
It feels good to to be able to bring one's avatar character to life by means of animation
A small part of the animation is inspired from Gundam SEED Destiny, no points for guessing where though
There's a lot of errors that need to be fixed and scene cut matches that have yet to be made.
Lost some body weight for working on this but...
At least I'm enjoying it.
Hmm, advice for the animation physics, weight and motion appreciated. I can already see a lot of mistakes myself:
-Wind stopping area, clothing stops without follow through, snapback -> recovery
-Falling -> landing sequence, clothing is a bit screwy, not enough follow through upon landing
-Standing up section -> This whole section is screwed, needs to be reworked on.
Gonna work to become a 2D animator in the future, or die trying.
PS: Its 12MB, so please be patient with it x.X
Note: This is a movie file, click on -> Download to Desktop to view it.
EDIT: Now fully re-uploaded as a DivX file, its now 1.9MB in total. Sorry for the inconvenience caused.

One step at a time.
First, the illusion of movement, and only after that, character animation.

that is so cool! sounds like a dream job ... but, you know ... i don't think i can do animation ... you really gotta know how things fold and sit and turn into if they blow in the wind or raise their hand or something ... i don't know if my brain can handle it ... although, i've never tried ... i should try it ... ok, so, how do i start?

Animation basics training.
- Bouncing Ball <- Acceleration deceleration training, stretch and squash training on the ball
- Trailing hair <- Trailing + follow up motion
- Waving seaweed <- Wave motion practice
- Pendulum action <- Slow in slow out, refined acceleration deceleration practice
These are some basics you can do

Holy cow... ;___; The poses and the nice smoothness of the animation in comparison to a lot of other animations I've seen makes me wanna
cry with envy. I've never tried animating at all, so this truly is something for me to look up to as far as inspiration is concerned. I definitely wanna try to animate something, sometime, now. Lovely work, Zeph. ^____^

Not really, I hated the entire air to landing sequence, didn't look right, so I scrapped it entirely and changed the entire ending portion.
Thanks for the compliment tho
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Pfft. XD I luffled the entire animation one way or another, even if you don't.

Thanks, but I could use more practice n.n;
Just watched the trailer for the upcoming chinese animed feature 'Feng Yun', and am totally ashamed of my own skills u_u
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Feng Yun? I'll have to take a glance into that sometime. X3 Don't worry about your animation skills so much,
you're MUCH better than most... some would DREAM to be able to do what little you've shown, so don't put
yourself down so much. 
practicing. 8D We all have to start somewhere, right?
*Suddenly reeks of

Well, you're right.
I really hope to be able to put myself at a professional level one day
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I'll be looking forward to seeing your animations in the future. ^___^ Whether it be soon, or once you've gotten to a professional level. Keep up the wonderful work and I'm sure you'll do fine.
