Mucked around with this one a little more! Started making the crow look around and also added a bit of shadow underneath her to give it a little more depth. Still no tail bobbing though... that will come next!
I had trouble figuring out how to get her to look around. I originally drew a few different heads from different angles and was just going to string them all together, but really they were just keyframes so looked choppy as all hell. Instead I used just a couple of them and applied a quick "directional blur" effect to cover up the choppiness! The result looks alright, but I think it's a bit quick — I originally wanted it a bit slower but it looked really weird when I tried to slow it down. Maybe we can just pass it off as birdishness?! They're pretty 'flitty' after all, not many slow or subtle movements...
Major problems with the puppet's head as well, you may notice — it disconnects from the body and lots of sharp bits poking out from underneath each other. Somehow the head bobbing got knocked out of sync as well towards the end, so her head moves forward at the wrong time! Not sure how that happened, but I'm aiming to fix it up now...
