Description Duck flying at sunset with a vague sort of gazebo in the foreground.

Made for a contest -- sunrise or sunset using an 8-color palette. First real attempt with dithering, so go easy on me.

I myself am not too good with pixeling, but I'm decent with dithering, and I do pay a lot of attention to pixeling techniques. For the size you decided to make your pixels, it's pretty good for a first start. But if you had made them smaller and used more of them, I think the colors would've blended better.

Despite this, it's nice to look at, and cute. :3

Nice, I really like the colors you used and the dithering technique on the sky. Sweet job on the animation as well!

I think it would look even better if the sky wasn't as messy, and why does the sky go from blue to red? That aside it looks great.

Sky goes from red to blue IRL ([link] ), I think it's just more noticeable when it's pixelated. How can I clean it up a bit, eh?

You should make the colors more subtle. The blue in the sky is almost the same as the foreground which makes it confusing. As for cleaning it up, I'd dither more traditionally , but I guess that's just a preference.

I simply love how this looks. The colors are beautiful, and the animation is fluid. Nice work!
