Seeking some hard Cc. Sprites

[Chaos Tayoko]

I haven't posted here in a avery long time. For the past few months I've gotten back into pixel art and have improved on my own, but now I think it's time to tap into the vast knowledge the Pixelation members have. Please feel free to kill me with a ton of harsh constructive criticism, or even just criticism.. I'll just end up getting better.

 Lets do this!

First up:

I made this blob guy, I decided to animate him too late and didnt use an animation templete of simple colors to get the movement right, thus resulting in a goofy-looking animation... not sure how to fix it. I've been having some doubts about how excally I'm supposed to AA the edges of a prite, if anyone is aware of some sort of tutorial that explains that, a link to it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Trying to improve.

Don't rush 

Firstly it's nice piece but it hasn't have many frames and that makes it annoying/lagging looking animation (add more frames)
Secondly are those red/orange thingies roots or what  also i'm wondering has it a mouth or an eye there

It is a great piece, but it does have animation issues. The movement of the head is slow and deliberate while the movement of the tentacles is hasty and abrupt in comparison. With a few more frames, it would be perfect.

Looks like you're just moving parts of it around. Don't be afraid to draw each new frame from scratch, or at least polish it a lot more so that it's not just big blocks of pixels shifting back and forth. It'll make the animation look much more fluid.

Okay, I think i've sorted out the head part, and made a few tweaks to the colors.

Going to take Arachne's advise and redraw the tentacle/limbs for each frame

The animation frame work is alittle messy, Its really slow at looking left then a sudden movement right, add more frames to make it look more flowing.
