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.

Some cute Nintendo stuffs. Got the Kirby & Magolor zipper pouch and the Animal Crossing coasters. Didn't take any photos of them opened, 'cause I gave them to my family.

I set out to make a teacup for a project I'm working on, but then I spaced out and did weird things with the shaders... LOL

Anyway, back to work for me.

Hope you're all doing well, and have a good weekend!

Here's a little update on a wallpaper / fabric pattern I was working on in Inkscape a while back—you might remember. Made a lot of different colour options. I'm happy with how they look.

I saw the post you made a few hours ago, so decided to draw you in that type of style @Victoree

took me 2 hours and 27 minutes #FanArtFriday

Yaaay, I mastered all of @SkiiRyu 's stickers! She is awesome, by the way, so give her a follow if you haven't already.

Haven't decided which stickers I'll collect next... So many creators... Ummm... Hmmm... Uuuhhh... This is going to take some time.
