Why does it always start at the Nose? (Patreon)

So unless I do cuts or something, I'm going to have to start over on this one. 

But don't sweat it. That was kind of the plan, given this was just a test of the rig so far & its parts. I think it's a solid first pass, but the chewing feels a little too subtle. Also, the gif compression makes the nose & mouth get lost as she grows bluer. They're on multiply layers over top. Previews of it on the timeline look fine, but the colors it kicks out at, they get lost.
