Day 8, made something much more ambitious. I've always loved cozy little scenes like this.

The game that I was making that little blue frog for was a simple platformer, mostly created to practice coding, pixel art, and animation. Not much in it yet but fun to watch him hop about.

I didn't actually end up making anything for today, but for the #artadventcalendar I am submitting this little frog idle animation I made for a game I was working on about a year ago.

My #pixelart for the day is just a slick little icon or imaginary game power-up.
I have been inspired by and learned a lot from a wonderful artist (who I just learned is on Bluesky!), @saint11.art for many years, and I owe a lot of my pixel improvement to their great tutorials.

It seems to have a slight stutter when it loops. May be a good technique for longer animations, but needs to be tweaked for short looping animations, it seems. Testing one more option!

I followed a bit of a rabbit-hole to find a new method to export my animated artwork, since the GIF does not seem to animate on my phone. Praying it looks nice!
