Having bison in my animation creating the natural world may have been misrepresented as a native american creation myth. Instead I redesigned my creatures to be more like antlered lion-bison. I began to do a pencil test of the flying animation, as this is the scene I am going to do first.
I will have to add more frames of him stretching out, and exaggerate it. I would also have his mane be more slicked back during these poses.
I also came up with a better design for backgrounds. Instead of just having bright colors, I gave everything a pearl-like sheer of rainbow. It’s soft and warm while being colorful.
So now a mockup should look something like this.
