Deity Scar of the Phoenix

I've started experimenting on using a gifmaker to get me started on animating. This is only a small practice, it's not perfect but It helped me to start getting comfortable with animation.
I only used 8 images in total for this, I could have used more to give this a smoother "glowing" look, but again, I was only using it for practice and I actually quite like the way it looks as it is.

This crest is the "deity scar" of the Phoenix, burned into the arms of my character Yuusuke, wolf-soul17.deviantart.com/art…, when he was given the blessing
to use the powers of the Phoenix. The deity scars on Yuusuke's arms will glow as he creates and manipulates fire. This design of the deity scar of the Phoenix looks a little different than the one
on Yuusuke's arms, I only changed the design slightly to look conceptually beautiful, but this design is basically the way the scars on Yuusuke's arms look when they're not wrapped around his arms.
I was originally planning to divide this design into both of his arms but instead I gave Yuusuke, two individual and complete markings on each arm. I'm not sure yet if I'll do these for the other "deity scars".
I'll probably work on a sheet with all of them, without the animation.
I will also be using the flat image, without the glow, as a watermark for all my work from my story, "Tacit Augury".

Hope you all enjoy!
