it's not final, was just messing about with imageready, but i will use some of the frames for the final.

I love it... the expressions show a lot of character, even at such a small size.  I've always liked this character, looking forward to seeing more.  Can't see much of anything to crit...

I love it, very smooth and shows character. Howver, if it's going to loop, wouldn't it be funny/weird if when she says something really funny, she's in theserious frame, and when she speaks firmly/about something sad, she'll be in the laughing frame? Just a thought.. Of course if you don't plan on her saying sad stuff, that should work wonderful! :)

thanks for the feedback  :)

As i said this is just a mock up, more to show a variety of expressions, rather than the final thing itself.

IT's great.

Of coarse you could script it to only play the laughing frames when she tells something funny.

Yeah there'll be a range of expressions, as i think with a script you have to be able to play off emotions and moods properly, so it's essential your characters can show as much expression as possible.

Her hair should move more when her head moves.  Other than that, great!

In one frame there is a white outline around her lips.. Intentional? and if so, why?

-Yeah ill sort the hair for the final frames.

-The white outline is actually her top teeth as its a 'wide mouth' frame.
