So I have this guy thats in the game. He looks like this I guess. SO, uhh. If you see something that needs fixing or have any animation recamendations... gimmie. Anyway... uhh, what impression do you get from the face of this character?

I get the impression that he is sly and evil! I think the animation is verrry good. I liked the simplicity of the character. He looks very happy in the smaller sprites, but not evil like the top ones. Was that intended?

The heads appear to be upside down in the small images.  In the large versions the widest part is where the eyes are and the slimmest part is where the mouth is. Correcting this should allow you to make the space between the eyes bigger, as they should be over the corners of the mouth.

The eyes and mouth also have a whiter area in the large versions, but I am not really sure how you're going to add that detail, and it's pretty significant in how the expressions work.

I like that in his smile animation you went through the trouble of redrawing his mouth for each frame. As for the character itself, it's at least unique. I would try and make his colors slightly more organic looking.
