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.

Folded this origami wood duck to send to a relative who collects duck decoys.

Hope everyone is well and staying warm—it's been very cold where I am, so I'm bundling up and staying close to the woodstove.

Lots of love, and wishing you all a good week!

This dude was tricky for me. Took me a couple tries.

Wishing you all an excellent weekend!

Hello, hope everyone's week is off to a good start!

Here's a little illustration featuring Mai that I drew to print on a thank-you letter I sent off to some friends.

Hey everyone, hope you're all doing well today.

Here's the finished illustration I made for my friend who had the stroke recently. She's doing great, by the way—recovering well and making good progress with physical therapy.

Wooow, thank you so much for the background, @Efe69888 !

It's hard to believe it's been over a year since I made this background, wut... Made it back in July of 2024. Blender, of course.

Been a crazy busy week for me so far. Hope everyone's well!

Here's a fabric pattern (and variations) I made for a challenge with the theme "craft maximalism." I prefer minimalism, so I wasn't very hyped to participate, but managed to make something I liked.
