Snivy animations

[Speed-X]

Wow, it's been a while since I've really posted any of my stuff here at all. While I haven't been working on those animations--or any animations at all, really--I've been working on a different approach to non-iso pixel art.
I've also been doodling up some chibi versions of some Pokemon.
The original Deerling and Sawsbuck ones I made took the approach of "lineart first, then color / shade it in."

Just the other day I read a tutorial, and it explained the method of just blocking in shapes and making your way from there pretty extensively. While I've tried that method time and time before, I decided to give it another shot.

I took a less cartoony approach for the Venipede and Deino, and while it contradicts the cute, chibi feel in a way, I actually ended up kinda liking the slight irony in this approach.

Starting with the Deerling, I originally did want to make an idle animation for it, but after a while I really wasn't sure how the animation would look.

Hahahah, okay. So in the end, I don't really know what exactly I'm getting at. I guess just wanting to know what you guys think. About the Venipede and Deino, I mean.
