An animated battle for you!

I would love to see Sceptile and Blaziken go at it. These animations are the best things ever. The Torterra one was a bit confusing but had an epic finish, my favorite by far.

Infernape's face at the end made me laugh.

Same here. Your latest animation is sheer brilliants there. The styling of the animation, the Pokemon's hilarious expression at the end of it, and the fact that Nape was utterly pwning the shit out of Ursaring really made that clip truly something to remember.

Speaking of Empoleon, how bout Empoleon vs Altaria and/or Magnzone. Would be interesting to see how he'll fare against a two foes, one that can trap or electrocute him and another that can dodge his ground to air assault with ease.
 
I really want to do Empoleon versus a flying thing. Gliscor, Salamence, Tropius, and Altaria are all considerations for me. I'll finish the thing soon, as the hiatus between Tort and Ape was longer than I'd wanted it to be.
 
Your animations are total genius! The action you pack in all the poses and movements are utterly delightful. It is so great to see pokemon come to life in your battles. You don't get to see stuff like this in the anime.

Every time I see an update in your art thread I get that "Christmas-morning anticipation" -- in hopes that you have made another wonderful animation for us. I don't know how you are able to crank out all these little jewels, but I will continue to sing your praises.

Bravo!
 
I love your animations. All the little expressive details in your characters is nothing short of professional. I feel incredibly spoiled whenever a new animation's added to this thread.

By the way, the gap between the last two animations was a hiatus? Yeesh, talk about a fast worker but maybe it's just the way I work that makes it hard to understand.
 
man i just rewatched all the battles, and i love how your style is so enduring and engaging, and yet it keeps improving over time.

the storyboards are all incredibly well thought out and the art that goes with them suits them to a tee. i speak for everyone on this forum when i say keep it up or else.

i also hope you're doing more with this than smogoning despite the fact that we'd all be flattered!
 
I'm taking an animation class. It's pretty basic right now. I just wanted to ask if you look at other videos to make the movement in your animations look so realistic, or if this is coming all from your head. I've seen the video in your avatar as well did you make it too?

Thanks for the animations and sorry if I asked to many questions.
 
Thanks to everyone for their supportive words, I love doing this and it feels great to be recognized for it (getting paid is nice too, so it's nice that I do).

Asma, although I learned the basics of animation from watching cartoons frame by frame on my old VHS tapes, where I REALLY made progress was when I started observing how people and animals move directly. No matter how fantastic the person, animal, machine or Pokemon you're animating, they all have some basis in reality. If you have a strong foundation of knowledge as to how things move, you'll be able to build upon them more confidently from your imagination. You can then apply squash/stretch, anticipation, etc... as liberally or as conservatively as you think the situation needs.

That said, there's still tons to be learned from watching animation you like closely. I've frame by framed all the awesome scenes from FLCL at least three times.

Ghandi, sorry, I've already started...it ain't Delibird. I'll pm you about those Pokemon I have coming my way.
 
These are amazing.

I loved how Ursarang was going to eat the little Chimchar.

I think my favorite would be either Torterra v. Espeon or the Dragonite bit. I loved the try spouting from Espeon. That was crazy animation. And so was Dragonite owning the shit out of Gyarados.
 
I loved the tera/espy fight, the pokemon look so biological. That animation is how those pokemon would move if they were real and I love that vs. the cartoonish way you animated Ursaring, which was amusing but not as impressive. I hope your next projects will have that faux-realism that the terra/espy fight had.
 
I'll likely have the Empoleon animation up early tomorrow.

These, I did not too long ago. Those of you who have been paying attention to the past couple of CAP art threads might recognize them.

I couldn't think of a better name than Bushfire (Pyroak's pretty clever), and the stats were just tweaked a little so as to not completely mirror Pyroak's.

Drydel was designed by a buddy of mine, Zantimonius, and he helped with the name and stats.
 
It's great to see old faces from the CAP series. I remembered both of them so vividly. It's great to see them in your style...well the horned lizard top anyway. The deer was your creation in the first place and he still looks bulky as fuck.
 
Oh god I love this one so much. Empoleon bitchslapping Salamence = win. It was rather comical watching Salamence's emotions throughout the whole animation going from aggressive to confused to scared.

One little detail I particularly liked was Empoleon wobbling a little when he landed at the end.
