Swiming Spyro (Animation)

Actually I started it as a simple animation with plan to do it in 24 frame per second.
No signs of trouble.
But in the process of animation I noticed that I spending incredible a lot of time to draw hands. Even despite the fact I used simple style it still require too much amount of time(
So I decided to draw it in 12 Frames only =(

Anyway here I come up with another plan.
Several month ago one person suggested me to use special program for Interpolation (Adding frames between ones I have)
So I decided to try this program (Flow Frames)
Well, the result was interesting (click to the picture to see it animated)
But... unfortunately I noticed something... something strange...
Maybe you also noticed, but I'll show one frame: https://sta.sh/0wmcnlhb5s9
Yeah, unfortunately the result if far from my wish(
But may be I am stupid and just don't know how to make it properly ^^
Anyway it was interesting experience.

Love the fact you made an animation of Spyro swimming while he couldn't swim until the... I think third game. Love it and looking forward to see more of your animations. They improve with each new project you did so far.

This is awesome! Also your attention to detail is crazy, I struggled to notice the problems you noticed in the two different versions. It goes to show the skill and attention to detail you have. I can't wait to see more stuff like this. Do you think some kind of breathing idle animation would be cool? Or maybe rain or water? I can't wait to see what your curiosity brings!

Actually "merged frames" is too visible by my opinion, I noticed it immediately^^ What about your question - do you have any example?

You're definitely getting there. These animations are better with each attempt you make :)

Happy that you think so, but after 24 frame per second 12 frames looks a bit... too easy^^ Anyway I'll think about it in my future works. Because of course I'd love to continue to make 24 frames

Don't bring yourself down bud, you're still learning and trying new things! This looks really good at present, I'm sure with more practice you will be able to do much more
