Description
Back when I finished the other animation, I celebrated silently:
"Nix IS ALIIIIVE!"
That slowly turned into this:
"Nix was born in an endlessly white Abyss...I feel Guilty..."
Instead of slowly regretting my choices in life,
I took it as an opportunity to animate AGAIN (because last time was fun)
And I was sitting here all pumped saying "lets just make it realize its in an empty Abyss"
that morphed into "Lets make it look around too" then "I'll have it sigh aswell"
It was basically a cluster of ideas I kept cramping together, it felt like a good idea at the time.
And now I realize: "shoulda taken it one step at a time" Not that it's bad or anything, but because I'm still not used to animation.
I spent way to long trying to get this to look nice,
The lack of labels meant I had to actively search a needle in a haystack to find that one frame that bothered me,
and I basically ran out of fuel at frame 77, where I threw a few other ideas out and said "I'll just make it loop"
which sent us to frame 90 (or 91) where I just made a few refinements and a few minutes ago just adjusted the FPS.

A few notes of notice:
1- The FPS seems good at 15 FPS or 67Ms
2- The movement of the eyes feel a bit artificial, it just moves and stops at a uniform speed, Needs work on momentum
3- Expression and Sighing movements are good but I notice a few cuts here and there specifically frame 064 and 065 (bother me the most)
4- Still new to this but it feels too squiggly, even for a slime (or something). Try to keep it constant.
5- use duplication and transform tools, they're there for a reason
