Hi, its not really pixel art cause im using a bit different method to animate but i wanted it to look like sprites, here are my recent anims, which version is better ?

OR

ITs for my game, i already did some in the past, heres also some other characters i made using the same method:

 

I think thats it for now, dont want to spam it too much, i wanted to start new game with the bear and second one was my first design but i thought it didnt looked like polar bear that much facewise, i wanted kinda dumb silly looking bear, then i started to tweak and it came out that wild one with arrow, now i cant decide, it was meant to be bear for beatem-up game, he goes through town and tries to make friends with people but kills them unintentionally, by accident hugging or something.
HEre is early footage from the game, but design of the chars dont belong to me, its based on old cartoon and i just did characters

I think i'll go with that design, i wanted also make metal arm for him so he was supposed to be a robot but i dont know...

Well, first one looks too skinny on the face and not silly enough, i also gave him stripes on legs but he starts to resemble cat instead of bear

Started new char today from sketch and will animate him tomorrow

because its only 1 persons opinion? I still have both heads and can swap them even if anim is done so no worries + i already made the anim without reading thread.I asked other people and they said the fat head look more silly.

Btw, how do you make your animations? I'm curious.

Thanks Immaking characters in gimp and animations in stickman, i created that robot today and im already animating for sprites

Isnt this too fluid for sprite ?

Not trying to be a jerk, but some of these breathing animations look like they have asthma... There's a LOT of movement for breathing lol. I'm not sure if you were going for that, then good job but that really stuck out to me lol. These are very smooth and nice, so good job! but that's my only complaint.
