Smoke animation

[Regularmii]

Hello, doing a project i came around a problem that i can't really found a solution. The problem is that i am working on a ninja that throws a bomb on the ground and the explodes into a smoke bomb.The throwing is already made , but the concept i made for the smoke looks like a cloud.
So, how can i make a cloud of smoke looks good?
P.S. i want the model for that cloud to be scraped , but if anyone wants to see that just tell me and i'll pot it

Without any visual reference for your own work, I guess I can only suggest looking at other pixel art games with explosions/smoke until you find something that you'd like to use as inspiration.

I know you won't be using the animation you have now, but it would help if you did post it so we could at least see what size you're working with in relation to the character and other details like that.
