[QUOTE=ToastedBread;47622424]Oh, I think I got it! What if I change the timing so it holds on the almost all the way open position and then it opens a bit more right before the snap?

Maybe? Nah, still looks weird.[/QUOTE]
Depending on how 'cartoony' you are going for, you could add a 'squash' of the mouth clamping together to show the force of the action:

then add a couple recovery frames as a kind of recoil of the movement

Pretty much this. The way I've always thought about animation is with basic physics in mind. Inertia, momentum, weight, along with equal & opposite reactions should all come into mind when something moves. If you watch a golf ball being hit in slow motion you'll notice it compresses and expands out perpendicular to where the golf club hit it. A croc/alligator probably wouldn't do this in real life :v:, but it helps illustrate the force of the jaw closing.

Yeah, that just occured to me this morning. I realized I didn't have any squash on the close even though I have plenty of stretch on the open. :v:
another one of these

It's looking a little more natural now.
Has anyone ever done an art challenge type thing on this forum? Like a weekly theme?
i think a few people on here are spit painters.

I've tried to run a few but they always tend to lose steam due to lack of participation/me forgetting to keep it updated.
Now we have an FB page that might be easier to pull off though!

Looks cool but I think you should use the flame to light your character, now the light seems to be comming from everywhere. The character design and everything is pretty neat though! I also really like her face and expression.

Character is Lina from Dota 2 I'm not sure if you knew it but I felt like I should point it out if you didn't.
Oh, I didn't know, never played dota 2 before..

yeah when we look at/critique people's stuff we talk about the design too, so best to let everybody know if you're drawing from an existing IP

Yeah, whoops. I guess I shoudve stated it was Dota fanart, I haven't gotten into creating my own character designs quite yet.
What guidelines do you all use when using images to create a design?
Say I have used a portion of a free wallpaper in a design, and the original creator is unknown or anonymous, would it be okay to sell that design? It's a portion of a piece of album artwork
and free fonts available on the internet?

Generally fonts (if you get 'em from a halfway reputable source) should come with a readme, explaining who made it and if you need to contact them if you use it commercially.

Some people might disagree with me on this, but if the wallpaper is a small or unrecognizable portion of the artwork, then it's probably okay. Most fonts also have a readme detailing commercial use.
If it's a big part of it, you should probably try looking for the original creator a little more, and if you still can't find them, you're probably all set.
more shit

unlimited power brings little satisfaction.
Well maybe if he used his unlimited power to make something other than fast food :P
kidding, ofc, it's a nice animation

no idea where this is going.
A while back I decided to see what I could do with a mouse and windows paint.

Long time since I posted any artwork here, but I saw some peeps posting their own games here, and I just finished with making a game, now that it's released I'm no longer under an NDA and can show it to u guys in a form of a some what shameless plug lol;
- painted everything in Photoshop, and animated in flash, and the programmer put it all together in unity.
