Aye, sweet little animation. It's fun to watch zoomed in too - that's what pixepushing is all about eh?

Skull (Level 11 CEO) @ 10/28/2006 04:05

Superb. Great animation, it's very smooth and a cartoony quality. Your palette here is awesome.

Jason_c_o (Level 1 Depressed) @ 10/27/2006 15:55

Such a smooth animation. Seems like it's a professional enemy sprite or something. excellent!

Mowzr (Level 1 Depressed) @ 10/26/2006 23:30

This has such a satisfying bounce to it.. Damn..

I wish I could animate this well..

Plunk (Level 1 Rookie) @ 10/26/2006 10:02

Boing Boing Boing ... :-D cooooooll!

Necky (Level 1 Rookie) @ 10/26/2006 07:23

Supirb! I love the little attentions to detail, like the light popping out of the lid. 5/5

Aleiav (Level 2 Quiet One) @ 10/26/2006 00:10

As I said before, incredibly cute and awesome. :) <3

jalonso (Level 11 Godfather) @ 10/23/2006 08:36

Great job on this. the stalk movement is my fave part. B.O.B. made every point I would have.

Ar. (Level 3 Stalker) @ 10/23/2006 03:45

Now is much beter!

I Am Uh (Level 4 Button Man) @ 10/21/2006 18:25

I love the cartoony look along with the bouncing. lol.

Atooi (Level 5 Soldier) @ 10/21/2006 16:17

Great work Larwick - looks awesome!

Larwick (Level 8 Tengu) @ 10/21/2006 16:06

Wow. I didn't expect this sort of feedback! Thanks alot everyone.

The amount of faves blew me away.

@grave: Haha, thanks, but i've got a long way to go yet.
@tbob: Aw thanks man, really appreciated. I think you inspired me into animation with your works! To be honest the lid popping off was a last minute thing, so i didn't put much thought into it. I think i've spent too much time on this though, so i don't think i'll change it now.
@ManningKrull: Oooh, good question. I actually usually don't do it, but for this i pixelled the lines and animated them first, then fixed up the animation before going onto colouring each frame (i'd colour the first frame first before i felt that was completely done). Then i just touched it up. Usually i would complete a sprite and then animate that afterwards. ^___^

ManningKrull (Level 9 Executioner) @ 10/21/2006 15:36

Holy crap, this animation is amazing! I would love to know how you did that, like, if you animated it on paper with a series of sketches first, or if you just did it pixel by pixel, frame by frame. It's incredible either way. Faved.

The B.O.B. (Level 11 Master Assassin) @ 10/21/2006 11:18

Cool. While watching this on Pixelation, I was wondering if you would finish it, and make it your new avatar(seeing as how it's the season to scary). I think the animation is great, and kudos to what Sedge said about the lid popping up and down. Oh, and I just noticed that the stem changes angles while bouncing, which is a great detail in the animation if you ask me. If there's anything to crit about, I would just say to make the lid pop out a little bit higher when coming down. But thats just artistic preference, nothing too technical really. Awesome job, and great job with the shading...

Scruffs (Level 7 Assassin) @ 10/21/2006 11:13

you rock dude, your animation skills are great =)

ElectroNico (Level 6 Serial Killer) @ 10/21/2006 08:16

Great work ! Very dynamic !

Sohashu (Level 7 Sheriff) @ 10/21/2006 07:34

I love it. I want a game now :D. Fav'd.

grave (Level 9 Federal Agent) @ 10/21/2006 07:29

Sexylishious!

you are too good at animations :)

sedgemonkey (Level 11 Coelacanth) @ 10/21/2006 07:18

I love the way the lid flips up and the lovely squish of the landing. Great stuff.

Filax_666 (Level 6 Hitman) @ 10/21/2006 06:45

Has an enourmous sense of weight, which makes it very realistic (altough it is cartoony). Top notch work!

d-p (Level 11 Croissant) @ 10/21/2006 05:57

Very smooth animation, looks somehow organic, very cool for sure.
