Hey! Great sprite, allow me to give some pointers on the animation. Blinks seem simple, but there are a couple things that can really make them look good without too much effort. Generally speaking, you want the eye to shut much more quickly than it opens-for a regular blink I would go from open to about 3/4 or even completely closed on the first frame, and then open more evenly. Right now you have it completely linear, which makes it a bit lifeless or robotic. Ideally you would also want to scrunch up the face a little on the closed frame, at least around the eyes. Keep at it :)
Coming from an accomplished pixel artist such as yourself, I consider that a huge compliment. Thanks!
Certainly does remind me of the style of the video games based on the Tiny Toons cartoon (not just the SNES games but also the Gameboy one I owned had really nicely defined sprites which this reminds me of too). Nice work.
Yeah, I haven't had much experience with animation, so I wanted to start off simple and gradually build up my skill in that area.
I'll keep those tips in mind for future pieces. Thank you for the advice!
