Well man, thats good character animation :)

There is nothing that relly jump to the eye and you say there is an error there. So good animation and constant.

What I will do to improve it, my 3 critics:

At the beggining, just after he looks at the gun, he stop for some frames, I think animation is dying in those frames. Character is thinking or whatever but he should move a bit, smoothly, maybe the body, maybe an arm, maybe start to look with the head before he start tu jump around.

I realized that he has been shoted in the head after second time I watch it, so maybe you should exagerate it a bit more. Move also the body not just the head (just a bit)

Last thing, wich its ok, i like it, is not something very important but... the strafe walk, in the 3 first steps on the animation, you should improve them a bit, make them not so cloned one from the other, and make the transition more smooth, from cycle to cycle, now he stops a bit to much in between cycles.

I think is very good animation, I just give me critics so u can look at them and decide what to do. :) :)

3DArtZ: thanks

Argon18: thanks for your comments, you have some good points, and i will try to shape them up. the only thing i dont agree with is the shot in the head, i wanted it to be a tiny shot in contrast to his big gun. but to make it more obvious maybe add some more sparks and change the sound effect slightly......

First of all I love this little piece.. good comedic timing .:thumbsup:
however I have to agree with some of the critiques.. particularly the thing about the small hit he takes in the head.. it doesnt read very well... Id say have his head kick forrward a bit, and maybe his body just slightly.

-and/or-

seperate these three things so they read better.

1. -Turns to his left gun out infront of him-
2. -Takes the hit to his head-
3. -Turns to see where the shot came from-

hope ths helps
keep it up

cheers
