More progress-ism

Partially tweened.  All I have to do is finish drawing all the unfinished frames...and still need to add that blink beforehand.  This is Turning her head away is Ayu's response to Ezri saying "hi there".  I think it's great, that's how I like to respond to friendly people.  I'm particularly proud of the non-twinned pigtail secondary motion.

So like I said before, I felt that perhaps more drawings needed to be added to the animation of Ayu...so I did just that- and the result are smoother ease-ins and better timing all around that I feel takes the animation from just being animated to feeling more like a living picture. BEHOLD. Now I just need to After Effects the two together and sync up the audio.
