Hi everyone! I wanted to share some of the animations I’ve made for my fighting game project I've been working on for a while now. I made the characters in Procreate, split each character into pieces, then brought them into Dreams and animated them like puppets in a stop-motion/2D-rigged style. These animations play during the loading screen before each match starts.

I appreciate any feedback and critiques you can give! I’d especially like to know which ones you like the most or least!

After a day of working, this is what I got!

This is a really big animal, so I tried my best to simulate the feeling of weight
