Really nice!  
Character design, anim and grading all really top notch!  
The vocal sound effects and hand drawn smoke are a nice touch too

This isn’t quite what I expected would happen to this character – I thought he would “get launched” – but I really like the way it turned out, including the final explosion.

Thanks so much! I’m happy you appreciate the grade. I think it really took it from feeling like a sketch to a complete project. And I was actually going to replace that sounds but had to move on lol

haha, I don’t know how I never thought the missile launcher may be interpreted as a jetpack. I don’t think anyone in the world would blame you. And thanks! That explosion took forever…
