Nice!

JamesOrthII (Level 3 Private Eye) @ 4/21/2018 16:45

This is such an amazing concept. I feel like it would make for a great little game.

brenocbo (Level 1 Rookie) @ 6/9/2017 08:26

that preview is really what it says... just a preview of an awesome animation and drawing. Nice!

Adarias (Level 11 Bonsai) @ 9/8/2015 13:05

How have I never seen this? Excellent work, especially with the overbalance and followthrough.

Pocket Clouds (Level 1 Gangster) @ 12/4/2007 07:19

Great animation & design! Cheesy!

Stickman (Level 7 Sheriff) @ 11/17/2007 16:09

Yeah I know and it's a very good point...but please don't make me go back and change it now

Vertigo-Zero (Level 9 Necrophiliac) @ 11/16/2007 10:10

I've seen this one be4 and liked it a lot, but I now noticed the ball is the same size in every frame, while the girl is standing further back (compared to the first hit)

apanserdig (Level 2 Quiet One) @ 8/1/2007 00:52

Flawless victory!

Hapiel (Level 11 Bonsai) @ 7/28/2007 12:13

Whoa!! Didnt see thisone yet!
The stance where the girl is waiting for the ball is a bit weird and hyper, but the rest shows us again your exelent animating skills!!

omegacapeman (Level 1 Rookie) @ 7/24/2007 06:50

pongtastic and great annimation

Mrmo Tarius (Level 10 Master Sniper) @ 7/13/2007 02:38

i can imagine what it'd sound like...

*THWACK*
bleep
*THWACK*
bleep

:D :D

its great!!!

Marina (Level 9 Necrophiliac) @ 7/8/2007 13:58

Wow, very good animation... the scene is so original

zAk (Level 3 Stalker) @ 7/7/2007 21:28

awesome! youre amazing at animating stuff

jalonso (Level 11 Godfather) @ 7/4/2007 17:50

Even if it were inspired by an existing piece. Nothing takes away the pwnage of this pixel and if not rewarded this month with a top10 it will be the biggest travesty in PixelJoint that I can remember (cept all MY pixels

Varock Shade (Level 7 Underboss) @ 7/4/2007 05:31

very cool idea, large canvas with smooth animation, great work!

Stickman (Level 7 Sheriff) @ 7/4/2007 00:18

Yeah I know about the Andy Roddick, but I've had the idea sitting around before he was even on the scene . (And I finally got round to doing it! Whoopeee!!)

I also spent alot of time for the hitting of the ball as I really wanted to show the use of the walls so I'm quite pleased with the results. With the score Pong is losing (is that a bad thing?)

Faceless (Level 3 Hatchet Man) @ 7/3/2007 08:45

Just thought I'd drop in and mention that this idea is not original.
The Australian Open has an advert every year where Andy Roddick takes on Pong.
It was so popular that it even has a second ad.

Having said that, Stickman has put a new spin on it with the cross-sectioned court.

The animation itself is really good, but the shot where she hits the ball straight into the barrier where the net should be was poorly thought out. Also, the way the score is arranged it looks as though Pong is losing.

ScarredShadow (Level 4 Deputy) @ 7/1/2007 23:24

shit....awesome!!

Setzer (Level 8 Cannibal) @ 7/1/2007 19:48

I believe Ilkke stole the words right out of my mouth.

Zhou9 (Level 1 Rookie) @ 6/25/2007 19:51

This better be in the top pixels this month. :D

HiyuKantaro (Level 1 Depressed) @ 6/25/2007

This is awesome!

D-Puff (Level 2 Kukyu) @ 6/21/2007 16:18

omg... i though the preview was awesome....... 5/5+fav'd.... but not just fav'd, my favorite piece of work yet... amazing

CircleOfTheDarkOnes (Level 2 Flatfoot) @ 6/21/2007 16:00

Dude that is so cool.

pain (Level 9 Nidan) @ 6/20/2007 15:02

great anim ...

exocet (Level 6 Major) @ 6/20/2007 14:16

great idea + amazing animation - at least on the tennis side ;)

InTheDark (Level 1 Rookie) @ 6/20/2007 07:51

Absolutely amazing, the animation is ridiculous.

PS love the preiview pic.

buloght (Level 6 Centaur) @ 6/20/2007 04:25

Now that's a brilliant preview :)

I know the feeling of working on something long and then completely forgetting about something you wanted to still change or do differently, haha it's happened too often to me :)

Presley (Level 1 Seaman) @ 6/19/2007 16:33

Holy shit, the animation, the idea, the depth.

Stickman (Level 7 Sheriff) @ 6/19/2007 04:07

@Buloght Argh! I didn't realise I didn't erase that line! (as well as to finish extend the court! Been looking at it far too long! Will fix it.)

@SedgeMonkey: Thanks

Thankyou everyone for your comments and enjoying this peice

Zhou9 (Level 1 Rookie) @ 6/17/2007 17:00

WHOA! This has got to be one of the best animated pieces on this site.

KrixKS (Level 1 Private) @ 6/17/2007 15:36

This is truly amazing.

The preview is so deceptive.

Pukeko (Level 2 Dealer) @ 6/17/2007 14:42

I just can't get over how awesome this is! *picks her eyeballs up off the floor and cleans up the mess*

iLKke (Level 9 Nidan) @ 6/17/2007 06:14

Shitfuckcock!

BLlldkflbkdflbkslkdlkldfksl!

Gas 13 (Level 9 Boss) @ 6/17/2007 01:03

Hehe, animation isn't allowed ;)

Fool (Level 6 SWAT) @ 6/16/2007 23:24

Perfectly done, no words - only emotions=)

sedgemonkey (Level 11 Coelacanth) @ 6/16/2007 18:40

This really is a tremendous piece so unlike anything posted before at PJ. Brilliant work Stickman.

buloght (Level 6 Centaur) @ 6/16/2007 13:03

You know, I didn't click the image (thinking the image was the preview, stupid me), but mash gave me the link. So thank you mash, and thank you stickman.

you've got your tennis lines wrong

MashPotato (Level 7 Underboss) @ 6/16/2007 06:29

Incredible

In addition to the amazing animation, I really like how you made the scratchy texture of the tennis court... it's a small thing, but I thought I'd mention it

Stickman (Level 7 Sheriff) @ 6/16/2007 00:01

Gas@: Do I need to make a stamp of it or do I just submit the animation? (animated stamp?)

Omenith@: Cheers! :)

Omenith (Level 3 Stalker) @ 6/15/2007 19:36

Wow, the preview was misleading! The animation works so well alot of good animation theories at work here; not just the usual frame by frame run down.

BadMrBox (Level 2 Quiet One) @ 6/15/2007 18:06

Aaaaaaaavesome! 5/5 fav'd

mikl3 (Level 7 Sheriff) @ 6/15/2007 12:06

7/7

Gas 13 (Level 9 Boss) @ 6/15/2007 11:57
