My Very First Animation!

Woohoo! I figure I'd try something different. It's just an Umbreon that's blinking a lot, but it was still time-consuming. I'm also open to any advice and critique you may have since this is just my first one. I feel that his eyes aren't open quite long enough between the blinks. What do you think? Thanks ^.^
