Description
When they finally invent the hoverboard, and people start making tricks and cool techniques for it, they gonna need some names to go with it.This is what I would call this one movement, which involves doing a backflip, ollie and summoning a wind dragon at the same time.
This is part one of a project I did for my first year of animation course, which was like 2 years ago. The file kinda disappeared so I was just able to upload it now.
The project requires us to do an interesting movement sequence in frame by frame technique and then try to recreate it on tween-based technique. This is, obviously the fbf technique. Here's the more detailed, but less lively Tween version:
Featuring my beloved airboarder and dragon tamer, Leon.
Character, animation, blah blah everything is done rightfully by .

Thanks for the feedback and advices. I wonder why my other stuffs didn't get as much critiques as this one.
About the lineart issue, seems like a more likely solution would be to darken the whole lineart. Doing dual-colored lineart might be too much for simplistic animations and I haven't seen people doing something like that, either. But well, why not?
I'm kinda glad no one pointed out how weird the thigh/leg proportion is yet

Well usually in drawn animation it is forgiven. Just use dark line art with 2nd color as detailer. Just like I use black ink for letters in calligraphy and deep blue as detailer.

I see. Two layers of lineart won't hurt, I guess.

Well do not think it as line art, black for lines and 2nd color for detailing (optional details). Think the 2nd color as icing on the cake, the cake is good to begin with, but everyone loves the sugary icing.
Always do everything before doing the 2nd color detailing. It is like the last thing to do. But if you do the scene with it make sure the continuum during scene and animation is constant with the details.

For one, this is badass. Well, it really is. The first sight of it really blew my mind. Considering I've been +Watching you for almost three years now, I'm very proud to see this kind of progress in your art.
The fluidity of the animation is almost perfect, save for the face that could have used some more work. But since this is just a part of a huge project, I'll forget that for now.
For originality, this is great. When I find animation, it's usually just blinking or walking or a simple tweening. So seeing this kind of movement done in an animation is refreshing and exciting.
Overall, this is absolutely amazing. Good job, and I look forward to more of your work!

Thank you. It's more of a transition than progress really- the more I do animation the less time I can spend on actual illustrations

i did it a while back now but the 2d industry in my country rather dried up

It is always dry. I think most of the job would be overseas or thru internet.

The way he moves and the animation in this one feels a lot more natural and flowing than the other version. Got to say, I like this one better.
Actually, it reminds me of some of the insane stunts that Conan pulls on his skateboard (Detective Conan).
Very cool.

Well, it has been ages since I heard anything about Conan. But well, in anime world everything is possible.

I like this one better..It's awesome! You can't do every movement with a rigg. I'd fav but the button seems to be missing. I just did a simple walk cycle in toomboom. ..I'm just learning to walk and yer doin flips.

Thanks, and guess what, walkcycle is actually one of the more complex exercise in animation.

Thank you for the side by side on the subject of Tween animation vs Frame by frame.
While harder to do and time consuming. It's worth the effort.
