sure, I always like helping out, now lets see for tips I would say 1) use the 12 basic principles of animation 2) don't depend on class to teach you every thing learn some things through self study. Thats actually how I learned how to make these weapons. 3) continue to practice on multiple projects out side of class 4) always ask for critiques and dont be afraid if they say its bad that just means you have room to improve 5) have an online portfolio other than DA. Not to say that DA is bad its just something like having your own website looks more professional. but don't worry about that till you near the end of school, though its up you anyway. I hope this helps in any way, if you have any other questions or want some more tips feel free to leave a comment on my page. best of luck to you.
