Description
This is a submission to a contest #Creeper-Craft is holding. [link] They wanted a new avatar so I gave them my best effort.EDIT: I won! My deviation is now their group avatar and I am a contributor to the group.
I had to shorten the animation some, however, to fulfill the 30kb limit on group avatars.
Edited and re-uploaded on December 10, 2012: Made the file more than 3x smaller (was 300kb).

Alright. I have started work on reducing the file size of the image. I have a new method for doing so, however it make take me an hour or two, as I have to make changes frame by frame. May split it up between a few days. But when I finish that the quality of the image will be the same, and if it's still too large then the changes I have to make will be less drastic. Hope that makes sense . I'm trying to explain what I'm doing without going too much into detail.
So ... yeah. Working on it now in fact. Should I notify you here when it's complete?

Hey you have won the contest for our new groups logo but we cant set it as our new picture since it is supposedly to large? It says it needs to be within the size of 30kb how big is the image?

Holy crap, thanks for the points.
And wow, uh, this image is ... 299 KB. That's a bit of a problem. I'll see what I can do to reduce the size.

That's fine. It's kind of my fault though. I did check the forums for the limitations of a group avatar, and I didn't take into consideration the maximum file size. So there I was creating an animated high-quality GIF image.
Which is apparently, huuggee compared to the limit.
I tried shrinking it down, but I just can't get it down to that small of a file without it looking like crap. I tried shortening the animation, removed unneeded frames, removed some colors and the file is still too large.
I could try some more things to reduce the size, unless you wanna suggest something. Sorry about all of this.

I'll see what else I can do to the image. May turn out being really short or something.
If you guys begin to get tired of it in the future I'll gladly make another one.

If it doesn't turn out so well we would appreciate it if you did try and remake it though since it is the winning image
