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.

Here's the process of my Stretching Bumblecat illustration.

Spotted this little lady scooting around. I walked up to her to say hello, but she gave me the death stare and the cold shoulder.

(JK, she was actually very sweet, and didn't hiss at me like some of them do. LOL)

Which video game villain deserves their own game? #GJAsks

Here's a li'l Pianta dude from Super Mario Sunshine having a snooze. I painted this yesterday while baking bread. #MarioDayArt

Wow, 16 years... I'm like GJ's helix fossil at this point.

Thanks so much for the warm wishes and fan art—will get back to you all ASAP!

I just got out of a conference and am very tired and hungry, but here, have a ducky I made in Blender yesterday.

believe it or not, there's a brand new free sticker pack for supporters!

You can now get 4 brand new stickers, along with 2 remakes of oldies by just placing charged stickers in my posts! isn't that cool?

More info at the article below!

This lizard was on the hook I hang one of my bird feeders from. It looks like it knows everything about everything. LOL So cute.

Moved it to a safer spot. Wanted to hold it forever, though.

Server issues aside, I made some pumpkin oat bars from scratch for MumBlargh. Didn't have enough walnuts, but I hope they're still good. They sure smell good, let me tell ya!

I've drawn Kirby a lot, so here's some Marx fan art for #FanArtFriday.

Submission for Art Weeklies 5/16/2025. Theme chosen: Bloom.

Been working on some low-poly assets with the intention of being able to pull them into scenes later on. Will that ever happen? Who knows. It's fun, though.
