I really disliked my old avatar already and wanted to make a new icon. And I thought, hey, why not actually give my own character some love! uvu Thus, I decided on doing this.
But I wanted to go with something SLIGHTLY more complex than just blinking or changing her mouth, which is why she also slightly turns her head into our direction. It probably has a few flaws here and there, but for my first animation that is more than just blinking (and also the first one in ages) I think it's not all that bad o: As I feared the quality suffers a bit from the animation, but it's not all that bad, I think. Could be worse :XD: Two of the frames are over here, if you want to know what it looked like:

Can anyone guess how many different frames I used in general? ;P

Ahhh, animating was hard, but fun~ I still don't think I'm making another one anytime soon or if I do, then probably just a sketch. Because that was the most interesting and variating part :XD: But I'm proud of my accomplishment here uvu
