The impact is definitely there - whatever gets hit with that, is gonna stay hit. I'm not too familiar with whatever it is you're referring to, but even for those who don't know, it's still pretty appealing.
In terms of critique now...
I'm liking the sense of action, and the light effects from the energy-sword and how they play off the emote. You've definitely figured out how to make objects seem three-dimensional.
The only real problem I have with this is the movement of the energy-sword itself - the downward swing and explosion of energy looks fantastic, but I think you could do a little more with the shift forward as he's running, and the swing up.
When he swings the sword down, the sword appears to bend, but on the upswing, it stays straight and rigid. I think if you were to bend it, even slightly, it would better convey the speed and force of the movement, and make it more three-dimensional - it seems slightly flat right now.
The expressions are solid, and the activation of the energy sword is pretty sweet - I'm a sucker for blue lightning and weapons appearing with a flash.
All in all, it gets a 3.75 out of 5. Nice job!
Looking at it, what I like best is the screaming ... and the animation on the burst of fire is simply amazing. And the slight shaking when you have it thrust the sword back. The bit of electric blue lighting emitting from the sword is nicely done as well.
Critique... hmm... Well personally if there was something provoking this outburst from the little guy... it would be a little more... cohesive..
As for the shading itself...nice work. Especially in the backlash/backlighting from the fire bit.
Overall excellent work
I didn't say I was turning my babyjaan mode off did I?
