Hey everyone! I've been working on my next piece, which is fanart of the character Simon Snow from the book Carry On, and I think it's ready for critique!



I'm particularly interested in feedback on shading and animation, but if anything else jumps out at you, definitely let me know! (Ignore the stray blue pixel in the corner; just a small oversight.) Thank you for your time.

Thanks so much! That's very helpful feedback, and while I hadn't encountered the concept of anticipation before (this is only my second pixel animation) it makes a ton of sense. I'll see if I can push things further with my next draft.
