As a a standalone GIF I can agree with that; however, the full concept includes placing this enemy on a background of similar colors, so that the body is somewhat camouflaged/translucent-looking while the face stands out. Not really sure why I opted to show frames too, that was the initial setup image for the sprite map and I just sort of built the animation below it.

It's like Mike Wazowski had a lovechild with Bloo.

this is a really cool character/ enemy.  Not sure if you need the individual frames in the image with this.  Individual frames can be looked at here: toxicdump.org/labs/frameviewer/viewer.php

given than the eyelid is outlined in black and the mouth is filled in black, I think it might work better to outline the whole sprite in black or atleast a darker color.

Nice animation though, reminds me of old games.
