Thanks.  Yeah, folks these days don't realise how easy that have it with their graphics tablets and stylus pens and cintiqs. :P

"using cursor keys" 

!!! I can belive

I did some gfx using joystick on c64 but not anim like this !!

respect 

and nice anim btw

I still kinda like it but man look how oooold it is.  1998.  I do actually remember making this about 3am in the morning while my family was off in some hot country on holiday (I don't like heat so I stayed behind and up all night every night)

I need to practice idle animations, but this one looks good to me.

"A little movement in the pants might be nice"

Wow, I took that wrong. Kind of an awkward motion, his right arm is going mostly in a straight line, whereas his left is twisting with the body. just looks strange to me. And then there's the feet.

AWEOME!  Well done, only thing I can spot is the feet, they're too stationary compared to the ankles.

First post, huzzah.
