Opening animation progression p.1

I mentioned on my twitter a few weeks back that there's an opening animation I've been storyboarding for perhaps over a year(mostly due to me changing the story around among other things). I finished that storyboard not too long ago and began working on rough sketches for the animation as of late.

Here are some progress shots I've been doing recently for a certain section of the animation, featuring Rosie and Sparky as they begin their adventure. 

The second one(without the background) is closer to how this portion will actually look. It looks better with certain in-betweens added as well as taken out from the first gif.

Overall, the opening  animation isn't going to be very long, about 50 seconds or under then the game starts.

This is my first time completing such a major animation(even though its short) like this so I'm a little nervous yet happy to improve my skills(since I'm no way an animation expert lol). 

I'll keep working at it.

'till next time~
