I'm working on a club swing attack for fun (and i don't really have anything like this on my reel), but I'm at a stage now where it needs some inspection. It's still early and rough, but I need some good feedback as to where to push this. I'm sticking to this animation until it's complete. Thanks.

Looks like you're off to a good start. I'm just not feeling any weight to the club yet. Try varying the timing on the swings and watch your arcs on each swing, they're looking a bit linear at the moment. Really push the anticipation poses, exaggerate the hell out of it.

When the support leg plants, I would have it hit heel first, not toe first like you have currently. I think you'll feel the weight more that way.

Keep it up man! Looking forward to seeing more.

thanks, good suggestions.

i've fixed the arcs on mostly everything, and stuff regarding weight. there is probably still some tweaking that needs to be done in that regard. i haven't done any finger animation yet on his left hand. other than that, how's it look now?

Everything is pretty much tweaked, so unless someone points something out or adds a suggestion, I just might call it finished. I plan on animating the face too.

Cools stuff. First swing, the follow up when the club is by his head, that position looks very uncomfortable. But it is exagerated and that is what, in some cases, you should go for. The second swing his front leg snaps when it initially hits the ground.Other than me be anal, cool stuff. :)
