Description I started trying to draw some sort of bouncy blob creature and kept going with it until I added a body and then took away the legs and arms.  Which one should I animate?

The 3rd one looks like it could be a rolling or hopping enemy, and could have a few simple animations like breathing, rolling, jumping up, falling downwards. I kinda like the last one as it looks kinda liquidy and could be fun to animate the way it moves, etc.

I was totally not thinking about any of these looking liquidy but you and TLTroy have both sold me on it.  And rolling animations intimidate me but maybe that's the reason I should do it.

Shouldn't be too hard for rolling. I haven't actually tried to do a rolling animation but,  I would just rotate the image each frame some, or maybe a couple frames of a blurred roll animation before going back to his idle state. Either way, should be good practice. Looking forward to whatever you come up with .
