Stick Figure Gun Kick Animation!

[Kanaru]

I was bored and decided to make this. I did it on Photoshop CS3 with a tablet. It took several hours, and it's not completed. Sadly I don't have a quicker way of animating it.

Stick figures don't really count as concept art I don't think. I could be mistaken though :/

I suppose this deserves a place in the Concept Art forum. Since it is simple, I guess it could be counted as practice. And that's what this forum area is about really.

You should've added on to the characters and made them more bulkier, more realistic, more detail, and should've extended the animation. Most animators make their animations as stick figures and then add on the detail after the animation is finished in stick-people-mode. I like how you made the lighting of the shot reflect off of the guys face. However I doubt an uzi would shoot a bullet that moves at such a slow speed. In fact, I honestly doubt a bullet moving that slowly would ever pierce some one's skin. Not only because it moves pretty slow for a fired bullet, but because of the bullet's shape. It's round like a ball!

Google for a program called Pivot. Soon you'll have stick figure stuff coming out of your ass.

I use Pivot sometimes but i prefer making animations from scratch using Jasc Animation Shop . Nothing beats stuff from scratch . But thats basic man make more to it...

This is art, animation is a form of art. Stick figures..errr.. depends what you do with them and how that makes them art.

i didnt think you could do animations in Photoshop. GJ +rep cause i like the now known fact that im not the only person here to do stick figure fights.

The quicker way to do this is named Macromedia Flash. I made a sort of game where you could choose several options of what to do in a stick figure fight sequence in a little less than 2 hours.

Nice. Simple..but nice.


No way I could do that, that's fer dang sure..

 

[DarkKnight]

With the right program, you CAN do it ^^ ask HeretoDLStuff (altrough you can NOT make the goofy light effects and so on if I'm right)

 

[Kanaru]

Well I was actually planning on making them detailed characters rather than stick figures, but I ended up taking way too long for one frame so I just made them stick figures.

 

[DarkKnight]

lol ^^, but you can make stick figures more detailed too, I like to do such things ^^, It's easy and pretty fast..
