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.

Hey everyone, hope your week is off to a good start so far!

My internet still isn't fixed, but they're supposed to send a technician this week. We'll see!

Here's a sassy box turtle I drew and printed on a note for someone.

Here's something nicer to think about.

I've decided to name this scribbly li'l boi Creosote.

Some of his favourite hobbies include lounging in the garden and being far too silly.

Another doodle of Creosote.

Hope you all have a lovely weekend!
