First Signature and Animations

Did my first signature recently. Also, have been getting more into animation since someone requested a preloader gif. Any feedback on the design aspect of the signature would great. Placement of pokes, etc.

Also what is some good software for animation? Up until now just been working frame by frame in Photoshop.. it's been a hell of a time.

 

The loading animation on the preloader gif seems kind of skippy, it might look better if you make it so the moving object moves behind the tower. Would probably be quite some extra work though. I love the signature, but the text feels a bit off. Sadly can't say how you could improve it. The placement of the pokemons seems fine and the colours are good too.

 

Thanks for you input. I think the text could possibly be improved with shading. Also, the color

 

I think charazard is flaping too fast.
