February Animation Practice - Fight Scene

One day, I realized I've never animated an action/fight scene. So I decided to change that!

Usually, I start my animation practices later in the month, but this time I started earlier in order to try and reach a more polished state for publication.
Apparently, animating an action scene takes waaaaay longer than I thought so what I have here is the animation in its first rough pass.

Normally I do a rough pass, then I do a slightly cleaner rough pass to further define the art/animation, and then I go in and do the final clean line art and maybe color if I have the time. It feels kinda weird posting an animation in its initial rough pass, but the goal here is to post whatever I have done by the end of the month. That's the contract I gave myself!

Even though it's in a rough state, I kinda like how it came out! I was considering adding music over the scene, but decided against it.
Oh, and be sure to full screen the video when you see it! It was animated in a 21:9 ultra widescreen aspect ratio so it looks really killer!
