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.

Camellia japonica, courtesy of my neighbour (the one who has often brought flowers from his garden for me and my family).

It makes him happy to know his flowers are appreciated by lots of people. Some of his plants are over 100 years old.

Here's another crocus from earlier this year!

A ladybug pattern I made for fabric (with variations). This one was just for fun—not made for any specific design challenge.

Another opportunity to draw Cheese? Yes please. #FanArtFriday

Hope the weekend goes as well as possible for you all!

I made this surface pattern of little blooms and leaping piggies for the "country retro" fabric design challenge over on Spoonflower. I got inspiration from some fun flour sack / feed sack fabrics from around the 1940s.

Welcome to KB Draws an Elephant for the First Time.

Hope you all have a lovely weekend!

An illustration I painted for a friend who has been battling cancer for a long time. She's been doing better, but it's still hard. Hoping this will bring a little cheer in spite of everything.

【Bandit Trap】

I don't think that worked out too well for Kevin (the trapper)...
