This shouldn't be too hard

...said he, naively

struggle town, population: me

I just don't know much about animation yet ; - ; especially frame rates, I've always done things all at the same frame speed and I want to achieve something more subtle, but I don't really know which to make faster and which to make slower, or if it's better to have many more frames for a smoother transition overall, or less

edit:
progress... but now I'm thinking it's really not going to work out at all, maybe it's not worth wasting the time on XD

I just feel like it's not very readable, mostly because all of the top elements are yellow and you can't really see them at this size... but adding an outline makes him twice the size and appear to be half cut around the edges... then there's the obvious issues of movement in the wings particularly to deal with... it's probably something a bit too tricky for me at this stage of my learning XD

Wanted to check opinions on if this is readable or not before I spend any time on animation.

Thoughts?

I took time to submit something :)

I guess I should get 20 Posts, so I can submit my entry? (I get Error 500 when submitting -_-)
