This is my animation of a squid swimming. Everyh other time he shoots out a puff of ink. I was having trouble getting the animation to work so thanks to dpixel for the help!

as said before more contrast! and also try not to JUST deluminate when choosing darker shades but ALSO add some different hues and desaturate. also with such a simple and generally unrealistic form (not nessaceraly a bad thing),  would use only one color for the smoke and make it more particle based of fluid depending on the direction you want to go.  I would make an edit but for some reason whenever I save as a gif, it always gets screwed up lol.

Nice animation. But the squid itself could might aswell have been only two colors. The different shades of orange isn't reall visible anyway. Chooce some colors with more contrast.

Rocket squid! :D

Oh, that's ink. Hard to tell with the bad shading. (In other words, study form.)

Try to stay away from gradient shading :/. You are missing contrast between the many color too. Try to add some more texture and other things that will make this piece more fun to look at.

Great animation. But I'm not fond of colors - there are many, they are similar - all four oranges inside outline could be changed to one to greater effect (now they don't make any shadows). You may find NES palette useful:

What manupix + the smoke should change during the first few frames, and there should be at leastr one more frame on the end

I like the simple shapes and good tentacle moves.

Maybe the body shape might change a bit too, and mostly you might give some expression (and change) to the eye.
