Eh, no matter the size limit... This looks awesome! Great job! :D

Thank you! It was an educational experience, and I apparently like blue fireballs quite a bit.

its amazing! I love how you still keep that detailed shading of ur usual style

Thank you! But that is the only way I know how to color things in. Without shading it feels incomplete to me.

Oh, nice. That looks really, really cool!

thank you! I am uncertain how it ended up so much more complicated than usual.

Woooaaaaaaah, awesome!!!!!!

Awwwwwww beeeeee[a]nnnnns!

It could be due to resizing issues. Sometimes when you reduce a file's resolution it actually ends up being slightly larger than what you put in due to having more colours or dithering, and that can lead to bug reports (it was 50kb!). This is why Inkbunny says its limit is 300kb, but allows 310kb. And yes, we have people pushing 300kb.

I tried with this one, and it ended up as 256.96kB at 100x100px - so not larger, but not much smaller.

Please believe that I tried loads of different things across a few hours. I went through all the frames reducing complexity and between-frame inconsistencies to try and bring the size down, and I tried removing frames, but couldn't get the kilobytage under 56 following optimization. It was only after going to bed quite later than i ought to that I realized setting the background color to the outline color (rather than a unique color) would increase the amount of repeating pixels considerably, and even that only brought the size down two kilobytes. Roshiyu is, at the time of this comment, using THAT version. I didn't think to add this color background until afterward, in fact, but there would have been even less chance of this going under 55.

Oh, I believe you. I meant more that FA might have set that limit initially at 50kb, and then found out files which started as 50kb (when 200x200, say) ended up slightly more than that when shrunk to 100x100, and so said "let's try 55kb". Or maybe, as you suggest, it was set based on a really cool icon that a staff member wanted to have. The browsers break when they have a news post with both sizes.

Either way, it was 25kb for the longest time - I guess the complaints got overwhelming. And yes, the background does add significantly to the cost. Sadly it is not possible to reuse entire frames, just portions of the last frame (this may have been done to reduce the need to hold/access prior frames in memory, or speed display, back when a BitBlt was a big deal). For some reason Mozilla chose to do the same with APNG - they say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, but this falls a little too flat (Of course, Apple's JPEG 'animation' takes the cake.)

Holy moly.....I cant imagine the amount of work you went into for this one!

It took about five days, on and off, but of course I was working on other things also. this one perhaps took a tad longer, but animation is easier to notice!

Woooow! Thats fantastic work!

It's really good. The rat is showing off

(and you are too)

This is awesome on so many levels.
