Wow, thanks, Mandrill! That's very encouraging!

That's a lovely little animation. I really like the preview for managing to put so much information in terms of readable texture and text into such a small space. Well done!
 

Thanks, Copyoflegos, I'll definitely take your thoughts into consideration if I rework this one or do something similar in another piece. There's a lot more I wanted to do in just this one, but I just didn't have enough time. I'm rather slow (as an artist that is), but as a beginner I really hope I pick up my pace over time.

I really appreciate your constructive criticism, and I'm always willing to hear more.

I think the animation would look better if his knees bent as he bounced instead of growing and shrinking. I think the rest of it is pretty solid though!

Wow, thanks quedzilla!

The knife animation looks great!

Thanks, 1JournalRed.

haha, great one) 

Thank you, Faherya. I think each of your submissions is an acheivement in advancing your skills as an artist. A great achievement is many times built from a lot of hard work making those daily small achievements, in art and other skills in life. I certainly have a long way to go.

I liked it a lot. I still hope to achieve something on this level. o/
