Description
Okay, so i made another lengthy animation...It all started out when one person told me that i should make more fantasy-themed pictures, and here's a result.
55 frames, 63 colors.
I know, that i'm not good at making palettes, but duh, it's the smallest one that i could come up with.
Coub here!Β Listen to it, it's really good. I mean, i tried really hard to find a nice soundtrack.

Very clever pixel animation! Congrats on the DD!

Thanks! I mostly do loops for coub. So it's not only limited to seamless loop, but also to 10 seconds length max. It is always quite a challenge for me.

Only thing I can say about this, is I wish that armor in the foreground had a different color than the trees/signs as its trim.
Other than that, this is freaking amazing~! I love the cart moving in the background and the little twitches on the cats ears. And how everything seems to fit in with itself! Nothing seems insanely out of place. Nice work!

About color- i tried to cut the number of colors. Pixel critiques often tell me that i have bad and large palettes, so i try to use redundant colors where possible.
About cart... It was supposed to be in the front, but damn! I couldn't get perspective right with it. I cut it and felt very bad, because i really studied how steam engines work, how they should look and all that.
It looked like this at first cs626525.vk.me/v626525114/11edβ¦

Ohh, I gotcha. But hey, you do you in regards to your pallet! And I really like the cart design and wish I could see it better in the foreground, however, if there are issues sometimes it's better to put it in the background. Honestly, it gives the scene a bit more depth. Like it's not just some guy working on this stuff in his backyard, instead, using this method you've turned it into a bustling town with life running in the background. I think that gives even more personality to the characters work!Β
But, if you release another steam-piece, i'd love to see more if you use the cart in the foreground!

Actually i might do something on this theme sometime soon. Person who said, that i do fantasy-themed stuff better than anything else, might be right...

Well never fear getting out of your comfort zone! You can only grow if you throw yourself to the wolves and come back smiling, y'know? And hey, you might learn a thing or two! I am in no means an artist, or animator, but as a writer you can always find new words, or ways to express something - and use that new pattern to better yourself. I hope yo just see you get better and betterΒ

Wow, amazing work!!Β I love the silhouettes in the foreground, I don't think I've seen that in pixel work before...If I have, it wasn't as memorable as this

Well, actually a lot of artists do that. kirokaze.deviantart.com/ for example.
Although i'm flattered by your praise

So... what ARE Steam Lancelots?
Ohh. I see now. He's working on clockwork knights

Well, they are kinda steam powered, through hydraulics, not through complex gears

Thank you! It was quite a surprise for me.
