I know, it's not the least-bit good, and probably a little o_O. But it's my first animation and I want to show it off.

Yeah, I want to get into animating. Thing of it is, animation takes a dang long time. This thing took maybe 40 minutes. Although, it would've gone faster had I put in the smile early on. I had to insert it in every frame.

It'll also help once I get practice using this program. I'm using Gimp, you see. I'm sure there are plenty of better animated tools out there, but I don't know what they are, and I want to avoid flash animation. I prefer the more traditional stuff. Or at least as traditional as drawing with a mouse and copy/pasting unchanging sections goes.

That's why I chose an amorphous blob, by the way. Figure I'd just practice with something really simple.
