may i see these gif animations (not as a critic or a skeptic, but i'm interested in seeing them)
gif animation is slightly different than regular animation. for one, it's a constant framerate, and you cant do too many cool pixel-saving stuff like scrolling/scaling backgrounds (unless you do it by hand in the images).
also is the matter of animation itself. can you hold a character (that is, recreate a drawing of the same person from different angles over and over?). another is, are you aware of certain animation techniques (like the infamous bouncing ball test). this isnt to say dont do it if you cant but be sure to check them out before you start.

i]"I know what you're thinking. Did he fire six shots or only five? Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement, I've kinda lost track myself. But being as this is a .44 Magnum ... you've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel lucky?' Well, do ya punk?"[/i] - Dirty Harry
