Broom. 14 colors.
 I originally made it static but figure I need to make sure people knew it was a magic broom. C&C? --JJ |

Nice animation, maybe make it a little smoother? I like how the brush end flicks about.

Well, I don't know how to make it smoother unless I make it faster. It only moves up and down 3 pixels and it's one frame per pixel. I can't make it move half a pixel. ;)

theres too much delay, decrease the pause between frames.
perhaps remove a frame so that the drop from its top position to the bottom is faster, just for dynamics. ------------- Snark, we love yuu. |

Quickened the framerate and made the ascension a little slower than the descension.
 Better? --JJX |

The shadow is pillow shaded and looks odd. It gets wider than the actual broom. ------------- http://pixelmonkey.ensellitis.com">

yeah try and mimic the shape of the broom in the shadow, ie wider
at the straw end. ------------- Snark, we love yuu. |

| Actually, most cartooning shadows take a circular shape no matter what the shape of the object. |

I'm afraid of heights. 
Maybe I should make a set of brooms. Like a really sleek expensive broom like the SideSweeper 5000 or something. |

I think the tip moves too much? I just noticed this, your first and last frame are the same -------------  got game?

Thats pretty cool. Maybe some lines within the brush should be darker for beter definition. :) Good job on it. Is it a Nimbus 2000? :D |

I think the handle should be longer. Right now it looks a little like a
floating paintbrush and not a broom. Also, after the broom bristles
start from the handle there should be a metal line (it's really a
circle that goes around the broom to keep the bristles in place).
Here's an example:
http://www.mogu-mogu.com/costume/pro/Harrypotter/goods/nimbus/nimbus2000_1.jpg - Sort
of like this . I know that's a Harry Potter broom and might not be what you're going for but it's similar to that. Usually the bristles aren't so whispy and more thick and straight. In modern household brooms, instead of a metal ring, they sew the bristles together http://sneakykitchen.com/fullerbrush/images/household_broom.jpg - LIKE HERE . So far, I think it's great. I like the floating action and the shading. Just some technical stuff can be changed to make it look more like a broom. ------------- |
