It's quite cute but I think it would look better without the internal black outlines : try using colors that look more like the rest of your palette or no outlines at all.
other view.looking bad and i dont know how to do this animation better.
tail seems too short to me.you're actually stretching the arm when you bend it
Might be the shadows you have around the shoulder that make it look "jumpy".The arm still bends a bit in the forward swing which makes it look unnatural, swing your arm and notice how it stays straight through the entire swing. Try this:The tail looks like it just changes shape, I think it would look better if you can make it swing side to side...I'll try to illustrate what I'm talking about and will post back.
