Do it! It's not only interesting to work on, but it's also great to make your own characters come to life through movement ^^ And I'm glad you like it, thank you!

Your avatar is so sweet! :D I especially like the tiny movements of the ears and eyebrows. The animator did a really nice job with your sona (who I really like btw). Definitely do it. As coffaefox said below, it's very rewarding :)

The fur animation consists of 5 different frames, starting with the fur being in front, ending with it at the back. It consists of 4 frames with relatively equal movement distance and an additional frame between the third and fourth of these to slow it down a bit at this part and make the movement a little more dynamic. In the end the animation goes 1 2 3 4 5 3 2 -> restart, skipped 4 here again to give it a more dynamic speed. The rain is animated over the full length of the animation, so 7 frames in total. The drops on the fur are 3 frames repeated in a random order. The rain was actually a thing of 5 minutes, the fur animation is definitely the main part of the work.
Of course the animation could be smoother but for only 5 frames of actual work it's okay I guess ^^ If you do try your hand on another animation and have a question just drop me a note.
Monchis work is really cute :)

I'm glad if I could be of help. And that's true, I guess it has kind of an animated series look to it this way :)

animation is hard work but it's certainly rewarding! this looks great!

Agreed! And thank you very much :)

This is the greatest icon I have ever seen

Thank you for this great compliment, I'm glad you think so! <3

I love it! If you can, you should put it into your commissions

Oh goodness, this is gorgeous! I love the way you've animated the fur, it's totally convincing how it moves in the wind. Great work!

Aww, thank you! I'm glad to hear the fur animation is okay, that's what I was mainly playing around with in this picture :)

Thank you kindly! ^__^
