Ahh, much smoother now, looks less like a flip-book and more like a true animated piece. Great work! :D

Thanks, hun. I only wish I could get more feedback from others.. it's always great to get plenty of feedback, given these are my first real animations.

Well, about the only thing I could think of that would make it better would be to slow it down a bit, the whole thing lasts about a second on my computer. It makes it somewhat difficult to appreciate the motion. For a real first-cut at animating, I think it came out darn well, certainly better than a lot of them that I've seen! The ear motion really helped make it, I think.

The speed is out of my control, sadly.. it's all Flash's fault. The first one, the line test, was captured by the "LunchBox", so it looks better speed-wise. Yeah, the ears are nice, I love his facial expressions throughout.

Ah, yeah, there's always that. I suppose about the only thing you could do there would be to insert a bunch of duplicate frames to effectively chop the framerate. The expressions ARE rather nice, too. Overall I think it's really cute, you should make yourself an avi! :)

Avi? You mean an animated icon?

Yeah, why not? :) It would be the same kind of thing, just compressed a bit more and with smaller images. I'll bet you could make it work well! :D

Well, it seems fun to do, just need the free time.. >_>;

It'll happen soon-ish.

Eh, just an idea for a down-the-road project. I've got a whole list of them myself, ranging from potential photoshoots to stuff I should build in the shop. :) And like you, they end up on the "well, I'll have time for this at some point" list.
