Strawberry Monster Cannon

Just testing out some animations for an enemy. Shooting and idle, respectively.






I like how the squash/stretch on the shooting animation came out. Not really happy with the leaves at all. I'm planning to animate them a bit, but my attempts at subpixel animations just turn out noisy. Maybe I need a third color?

The idle's a bit dull as well, but I'm not sure how to liven him up without making him too distracting.

All crits welcome!

welcome on idle-throw animations. Your's is still asking for a bit more anticipation, imho. I found Ymedron's sketch very helpful back when designing my own.

Perfect excuse for me to try some animation, tried to apply pypebros advice about anticipation:
