Yes it would look nicer, but I will have so many creatures in my game that it will take forever to complete, maybe I will add more frames in later versions.
Loving the shading! I think you need to add more frames to the animation, as it looks pretty blocky. Other than that I really like it.
Haha didn't think about it, but now that I compare them they must be! King Hippo in a parallel pirate dimension =)
