Hello everyone!

So this is my very first post onto polycount, and honestly I should have appeared here long ago, but better late than never I suppose.

So with this character, called the Juggernaut, I want to find a mix between Malphite, Blitzcrank and possibly Bruam in its Ultimate as well as walk cycle, but also come off as playful and misleading, if that makes any sense.

This is a gif of what I have so far as an Ultimate ability, and if possible I might need some help with finding more efficient ways of sharing future progress using gifs. I'll do some digging as well so it won't be like "HEY I'M A NOOB, HELP ME!"

Anyhow, critiques are quite welcome and I look forward to the rest of the other candidate's updates; there are some amazing animations out there

Brief Update

Hi ShadyDingo!

This is a great start, and your character is really cool. If I could suggest a couple of things I think it would improve this animation.

1. The time from when he jumps to when he hits the ground seems too slow. Maybe double the speed and adjust from there.

2. He does a barrel roll and finishes mid-air. I think it would look more powerful if he finished the barrel roll when he lands.

Keep it up man!

@monster - Thanks! Since it was a straight away at just 60 frames I was figuring that it would potentially be a bit too long of an animation but I'll definitely make some adjustments and post results

Having a bit of trouble trying to readjust the juggernaut so when he lands it doesn't look awkward.

Another update, as well as a bump I guess. Got tired of how it looked before so I changed it up a bit.
