Close-up of my Looking Sharp background after optimizing colours. Check the layer setup for an easy Krita workflow.

If you're struggling to achieve the <500kb file size, always remember:
- Reduce colours
Still too big?
- Reduce motion -> Reduce colours


I created this background in Blender, exported the frame sequence, imported as animation into Krita for colour palette optimization (as seen above), exported the frame sequence, built the APNG using Ezgif, selected their optimization option, downloaded the resulting file, uploaded to Tinypng, and finally downloaded the resulting file again, which was <500kb and ready for use on Game Jolt.

Extra tips for the palettize filter layer in Krita:
In the layer's options, I recommend staying with the default colour palette, or creating your own high spectrum + low colour count palette, turn on the dither option, and turn off the alpha option (this will keep semi-transparent pixels, but stop the filter from dithering their alpha levels, instead only dithering the colour information).

Hope this info helps some creators and others who wish to learn more about optimizing their animations.

Hope everyone's week is off to a good start! I'm brainstorming ideas for a "farmer's market" pattern design challenge.

Hope you all have a fantastic weekend!

I made this salad for MumBlargh, and she wants me to share it with you all.

Hmm... That's a lot of mouths to feed. I might have to make a bigger salad, huh.

More of my oc, Mira!

Fabric / wallpaper surface pattern design for a challenge on Spoonflower themed around painterly florals.

Unfortunately, I had to rush this one at the last minute, but a customer already bought a swatch, so I guess I didn't do too badly! LOL
