I'm trying to make sprites of a helicopter, but where it looks like it's tilting backward/forwards a bit (as if it's moving really fast in that direction or was just hit).
The original sprite:
And these are my attempts at making tilted versions:

I'm kind of satisfied with how the tilting-forward one turned out, however I'm not too sure about the backwards one...

I was wondering if someone might be able to fix it up somehow so it's more recognizable as a helicopter.
TIA

Maybe you could post the helicopter sprite of it when it is not tilted.

I think the up tilt is still ok! lol I tried to help but yours still looks better then my attempt

Well, not tilted that much, just enough to give an impression of tilting.

Well, that's not possible to put in an 8*8 sprite, unless the pixels themselves were rotated
(this is for the calc)
