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.

I wish Star Fox had a kart racer. So much potential for cool tracks and vehicles (Arwing, Landmaster, Blue Marine, etc.), and we'd get to hear Falco making snide remarks constantly. Seriously, why hasn't this happened?

Little timelapse of one of my Blobcat illustrations for you.

Have a lovely weekend, all!

I was invited to the final beta playtest on Steam for Bandit Trap. I nearly fell off my chair when I saw the Game Jolt outfit!

Like, this logo I designed back in 2010 is in a video game on Steam. Wuh? Trying to wrap my head around that.

The last of the Creosote illustrations (for the moment, at least).

Hoping you all have a lovely weekend!

Hey, hope everyone is doing well today.

Here's a little mograph experiment I made using Blender and Krita. If it doesn't load right away, try refreshing the page or something.

Wishing you all a lovely weekend!

Here's #MyBandit and #MyTrapper from Bandit Trap! Only changed a couple items from the immediate outfits that are available, but I like them this way. I prefer playing bandit currently.

Hope you're all having a good weekend so far!

Yippee, wahoo, yaheeeee!

Little something I put together in Blender and Krita for #Mar10 Day, 2026.
