I made a third person animation of a shovel showcase. But the shovel, is the weapon.
The avatar is my own.

Got any feedback/thoughts? 
Note: I know there is maybe one or two problems with this animation. One being no sound, and the other being the ending is kinda abrupt.
Gotta admit, that looks really cool.
Once you fix those issues you listed, I think it will be phenomenal.
Woah, ya planning to put this into your game?
The animation is a bit linear (that is, to say, movements are very robotic), but otherwise it looks good.
No I am not. This is just an animation that I made in my free time.
It looks a little rough / robotic but I like it overall
