My First stab at animation- right in the kidneys

Artwork Works in Progress
1

Well it has been three years of me using Blender and I am dawning on my 16th birthday. So here is the extent of my talents in Blender and I want to know wha everyone thinks. It is a small 3-4 second clip that I didn’t decompress so it is around 2mb. I am aiming for a Viking Cartoon with a more Cartooney feel to it. Here is the link to my site where the clip is.

well, the water and the motion is fine, but what is going on with his hands?

Okay, here is a new clip. I changed the character around and added another one.

Now I need help with the arms and hands. I have two characters parented to the Ship (just your average Crtl+P) which is parented to three Verticies on the Water Plane which has a wave effect. I don’t know why their arms move in weird directions. Any suggestions?
