rabbit much better
yeah... I could see that decision, on second look it doesn't make sense for the mane
I think the wolf/fox/cat also, for a frame during the attack could have ears back to show that motion
I think your stuff is really good, these small things would bring it to parity with Lyaseek quality of animation.
Might be the rigidity of the heads. Like the panda if the hat tilted back at certain points the quality would enhance.
Hopefully you take my feedback as positive. its very good
Hope you keep investing in minifolks series!

Adding a follow up, knowing what animation order you are assembling these in would go a long way.
Right now I am flipping back and forth between aseprite and the page and identifying what animation I am looking at, sorting out why its frame count is different (creatures to citizens) and then ordering/applying tags for my game to digest them in a consistent way. hopping back and forth between files if there are multiple vs a single one. If the spritesheets had a consistent flow you could slice/paste into a template.
Some dev feedback!
Very cool art. Hope you make more!
Example:
I'd be able to use if these had attack and death animations. Lyaseek has a good baseline for universal use imo. https://lyaseek.itch.io/minifvillagers2
Looks good though!
Just another feedback! I would keep the effects in general on a separate layer.
I personally do my effects through a particle system or instantiated prefab so enabling that work flow will widen your audience. This applies to the whoosh on archers or an impact visuals on melee (like the were bear slam). It also applies to the red blink (I tween these). I would keep them, just sorting them out to a layer in Aseprite for a quick hide would go along way for some devs. This might be considered a more modern dev workflow vs static sprites doing all the work. When they aren't on their own layer and they overlap the sprite it's a pain to pull apart, almost enough to avoid using the sprites unless you plan to fully commit to that style alone. This would be the difference in my being a 'bought every pack' person vs a 'big fan that doesn't buy anything' person.
I think your stuff is great, I wouldn't go too far out of your way on my opinions if your vision is set but I like it so much I thought I might over share my feedback. Good luck! I am sure this series will do great.

check out how this guy offers his Aseprite file pre tagged. It’s optimal in this space if your interested in seeing how one of the best, imo, does it. A lot of potential in packs of this quality in volume!
