working on a commission, and thought about adding animated elements. no gif capability on HONK was definitely a lil sad, but glad to see support is on its way! <3
pluses: allowing for background animation, i,e. flowing capes, hair, sparkling doki doki aesthetics
also allowing for animated layers can also give a whole new impact to an emotional change too. think tumbleweed for loneliness, sudden darkness for terrifying, or steam puffs for anger, etc.
additional thoughts: allowing for chroma keying the bg of gifs, as a lot of animation programs cannot export/preserve transparency in gifs when exported. (shakes fist at csp)
