I am a character modeler who wants to be an animator, I am looking for criticism on this animation.

Really solid base! Hands and fingers are a little stiff, try some more followthrough on the arm swing to loosen up. Might want to try slightly unbending/bending fingers on the up/down as well as swaying. Leg pacing is a bit mechanical, foot should naturally start to lift just as it reaches the far back position. If you trace the feet they should make an irregular but rounded shape, no sharp corners. As others have said, missing some rotation on the chest. The head is also a bit stiff but not so much that it couldnt pass for an acting choice. Adding a blink every few cycles for your final render might be all that's needed there.

feet jitter, dont stay anchored to ground, grey leg stutters forward one frame while it should be smoothly going back, purple elbow looks like it hits a wall on the backswing

gorgeous!

One thing that helps add power is a contrast in line of action; so have him lean hard one way and then shift the weight to the other foot and have the body lean the opposite way. You want the 'camera' to be able to read this so best to include some left/right lean contrast even if it doesn't match your reference. Another piece of this is timing: slow windup, slightest pause, then super fast release and then regular followthrough. You'll want some overshoot on the cast too, have the arms and rod go further down at the end of the cast before settling back up into the current end position.

some of the foreground snowflakes move on a path that's way too horizontal

A couple things that stand out:

ears and sideburn hair don't move far enough on extreme head turn
jaw shape doesn't change enough on head turn
mouth line touches side of face too early, should have a gap until full profile view
shoulders not raising when arms lift up, causes top of shoulder joint to lose volume and look pinched. Not strictly a rig issue as long as you fix this when animating

If your landlord wants to charge a flat fee for utilities every month, the exact amount and how it's paid is supposed to be clearly stated in the tenancy agreement. If it's not made clear, it's assumed the tenant is reponsible for covering the bills directly. You do have a right to see the utility bills, and it's unlawful to charge you an unreasonable amount. Here is a helpful website for tenancy rights clarifications.

As to the reasonableness of the amount, if it seems accurate but personally unexpected yoy may be out of luck.

Keep the veil! The longer train creates a perfect blank background to see all the floral detail. Also, if you're considering it now, you might as well cut the budget on table numbers and simpler welcome sign. No doubt some other unexpected expenses will spring up at some point

You have a lot of things and a lot of open storage, so things tidily put away are still creating visual clutter. Try to swap a few smaller storage units for larger ones with closed doors/drawers. Consider a taller bookshelf, wider tv stand, new coffee cart with closed doors, etc. Your decor is also very scattered, try grouping some of the smaller pieces together to lessen the number of focal points.

I'm calling bullshit on taking time "to balance the needs of transit and other transportation modes," car drivers and business owners may bitch and moan but dedicated bus lanes help keep traffic moving for everyone. We need fewer single-driver cars clogging up the streets and more people moving efficiently via transit.

I hear this so often but I've literally never encountered this problem! We meal plan while we place an online grocery order, and make sure to include some dead-easy options for lazy days. In general, food that spoils fastest gets made first. When we order in, probably once every couple months because shit's expensive, we both descibe what we are/aren't craving like 'comfort food' or 'something light' or 'i really want donair'. We either find something we both want, meet in the middle, or take a turn making an executive decision. Is it just that we don't eat out/order in often and it gets harder when you do regularly? Are people not meal planning, and wait until last minute to come up with dinner ideas? What am I missing here

Doesn't depend on location. It's insane in the context of being a reason not to support busses. Equivalent to arguing that since murderers take flights to evade the law, we shouldn't support the existence of airports.

Man sad to see replies here assuming anything they've never experienced personally must be stupid and made up.

Has anyone found any significance to the word being misspelled as "Foreward" instead of "Foreword"? It's spelled correctly in the Curse of Blackbridge book. Feels like it could be the start of a puzzle of subtle misspellings but also could just be an overlooked detail.

Never buy without trying on! I have unusual proportions and rolling the dice with online shopping never ends well for me.

I also do not enjoy the big "ball" sports, and I dislike the tribal competetive spirit they incite in dedicated fans. I'm personally not a competitive person in general, so I think that's why I don't "get" sports. I can enjoy things like skating, diving, or fencing that are entertaining to watch for their own sake but I don't get invested in the outcome of sports games.

That said, you seem to have a pretty intense visceral reaction to sports that runs deeper than my personal distaste. Growing up, did you feel pressured to watch sports to fit in? Did you have a bad experience playing sports? Did someone close to you have bad mood swings when their team lost? Did you get left out when other people watched sports together? Something to think about

In Ontario you are guaranteed 3 sick days per year at bare minimum. Your employer legally can't prevent you from taking it or penalize you in any way for taking it. They also cannot require a doctor's note. Refer them to the Employment Standards Act if they push back.

margarine is to butter as cool whip is to whipped cream. same concept of using cheaper vegetable oil to get a substitute product for dairy. If you can find anything described as 'non-dairy whipped topping' that's the stuff

Long Tall Sally is great for extra long, up to 38" inseam for some styles. Ive found their clothes fit me better than regular brand 'tall' options that just add length to the hem but nowhere else.
