the struggles of icon making (when you're stuck in the mid-00s)

[setsuntamew]

lays on the ground

I'm still sick and drowning in responsibilities etc etc etc etc etc BUT that is not what this entry is about.

nooooope.

It's about the hell that is making animated icons that fit the 60kb size limitation on DW. Just.....I know that hosting images is expensive but also, it's not 2002 anymore, can I plz have larger image sizes????

I JUST WANNA MAKE THIS ICON WORK UGGHHHHHH


Is it my fault that I have needs and those needs are moving images?? I know that maybe making something with 21 frames is a lot, but also? I wanted to do it and here I am, bitching because it isn't working XD

Maybe I'll fix it eventually, but I dunno if I can >< I gotta find a better way to compress gifs, I guess? I just don't wanna murder the quality...
