Description Drizzle doing something other than napping. She does enjoy going out for a swim from time to time.

I've done some pixel art before, but never animated to this point. I really enjoyed working on this.

Thank you. ^_^ It took a while to settle on that. I tried other motions, but they were too erratic or just looked silly. Doing something simple worked out well enough.

You never animated before??! This looks like a serious pro like job. How long did it took?

Thank you. ^_^ It took about 12 - 15 hours, not counting previous versions (I have 2 other animations I started before settling on and completing this one). I've wanted to animate in the past and I've done a few simple things on Flash, but nothing to this level. Pretty much fumbled my way through it until I thought it looked decent, lol.

Nice! The pixel work I've seen in the last month from everyone in the mais pond has just blown me away. This one REALLY makes me happy, not just for the smoothness of the animation, but the way everything is put together in such a professional way! I've always had issues with doing pixels in the more 'traditional' manner XD so things like this give me a lot of nostalgia for the old games I used to play and just make me so impressed with the amount of technical skill that has to go into it. It's gorgeous and really peaceful to watch!

Thank you. ^^ After working on this, I feel for people to spend a lot of time doing pixel art, lol. It feels like it can be more tedious than traditional art, especially when you start making adjustments pixel by pixel, but the end result can be stunning.

Nope. That's you bein' proud of a thing that lives 'cause you made it. Not weird at all. I look back over stuff I make all the time. Be proud! You did good work.
