Huh why is this for the weekly challenge? I cant find this character on google, can you please post a picture of it in its younger years (if its fo the challenge)
I agree with neota, there needs to be more reaction to the force of the weapon firing, also you should add a flash and make the shell bounce and roll away or something in that matter. Neat sprite though, good colors.
Great colors, and I like the preview! The actual animation -- I think the reloading motion should cause him to rotate his body somewhat, so there is a greater sense of motion.
