Kirby flying on WarpStar with Trail WIP

I would like some opinions on this. There are two parts to the video where the trail behind the star is rippling and the last part where it is smooth. Any thoughts which looks better? The plan is to have this on Sketchfab, so I hoooope everything in the animation converts to keyframes later… :smiley:

Other parts of this are not finished. There is a small background element that is hidden now but will be a stylized purple space nebula background. I plan to animate Kirby to blink, some background stars to twinkle (change in size slightly), and animate some movement to Kirby to kind of have a floaty feel with his body and feet moving as he hangs on. Yes, I know it’s space without gravity, but just for artistic effect, I wanted some flowy feel to it, maybe almost like it’s underwater as a whole for the movements.

Any other feedback welcome since I definitely have tunnel vision by now lol. As this is destined for Sketchfab, I have to keep in mind I can’t necessarily animate textures (going to do a workaround with blinking eyes), and I’m making the animation loop seamlessly.
