Awesome animation, dude!!!!

Awesome! Missed it before and glad to dig it now :)

this is awesome larwick, 5/5 + fav!

Incredible.  Ever play a game called 'Another World' (also titled 'Out of This World')?  The palette, shadows, and animation really remind me of that game, awesome style.  Have you written any tutorials?  You should think of it.  What tools/apps do you use?

Cool! I never saw this before :/

Awesome work, very smooth animation.:0

it looks like he's breaking the rock with his knee

Holy crap, that animation is win. :O

hehem the update is awsome! great job again lar

That's much better, this is really excellent now!

Crap wait, the proper update wasnt updated (cus it had the same filename as before) so er.. ACK.

Why does the hammer drop?

Looks better :D nice work larwick.

Silly me, i read your comments but for some reason didn't take some of your advice in my update. I'll get onto those now sedge, alkaline, scruffs and mikl3. Thanks for the input everyone.

@kaltsu: Actually, he did begin in just black and white, and it looks quite cool too, so yeah. ^_______^

This would work just fine even in b/w. Like it a lot.

I like the shading on the rock. I think when he's got that hammer lifted above him, he should linger there for just a bit longer. But this is pretty nice nevertheless.

it seems he just jump on the stone, not smash it.
6/6 anyway

the way he's holding the hammere i in the beginning would put extreme stress on his wrist.  He shouldn't be holding it that far down the handle.

Oh and you should at least say " full view it" or something like that so people know there's more!

Nice smooth animation...I don't really like da idle pose cause it looks more like taking sections of him and shifting it around..it's too sharp and not human-movement-like..also the back leg is kinda strange because the knee is kinda pointy and part of it isn't moving at all.

So make the idle animation slower and more breathing/movement like.

About the actual animation: I suggest making the part where he swings the hammer up way faster than that, then have him pause, and then strike the rock. Either that or just pause after swinging the hammer up. And the rock breaks up in too many little pieces. Maybe have a bunch of big pieces just break off.

Really nice work with him preparing to strike. 

Minor crit:  the  final position looks a little bit ackward. Maybe having the hammer more "flat" to the ground might give the impression of a swing that would strike through a rock.
