There's some jagged lines on the ears, and I'm not sure how well it will animate when the arms are only two pixels thick, and the legs are almost as wide as the body, which seems too rigid. The face looks good, though, and the contrast seems to work well enough. Nice choice of colors. Also, what's that down by her foot? Is that a tail or something? Also, I didn't even notice the ear ring at first; might wanna give it an outline or something so it shows up better.

Overall, could be better, but not bad for a first pass.

It was most of a test for style to help her find what she wanted, and I made my character since I wanted her to see the base fully formed. Honestly, I don't think these were going to be animated beyond a basic bounce but I could be wrong about that. And yeah, it's her tail; I was afraid that making the lines for it go behind her legs would make her form too confusing since in my original sketches it looked like too much. This was mostly just to see if this was a style she liked.

I gotcha. And by bounce, do you mean bouncing in place? Or is that the method of movement?

Bouncing in place.
