Description I poured my freaking heart and soul into this vhlhvashvlsa theres 15 minutes before the deadline so before i lose any time im submitting this and I'll type a proper description later

AIGHT

I seriously poured my heart and soul into this icon. I needed to get it done. It is 5am and the panic adrenaline is starting to wear off. I literately put off everything to work on this icon. Including my CTA entry, which will be eventually completed as a crafty sunday project. ^^"

(This is also the Haunted-Helick icon bc I kept testing it out bc Ididnt wanna open another window to view the file size LOL)

I wanted to create something that was different than the current icon, and yet, a little bit of it. Maze is definitely much more community centric that Quest ever was, so I wanted to have him facing some buildings of a town! Quest in contrast, was looking at his map at the mountains, ready for adventure. When I was designing the buildings, I looked at the little icons on the map for ideas and just went with something simple LOLOLOL- compared to the rest of this goddamn icon there is no simple.

Drawing the paws was a pain in the ass jfc. I'm surprised the unraveling of the map only took 5 frames! I guess I'm getting better at being more fluid lol.

Other things I wanted to add was animating the mountain river, having Maze's tail wille and adding some flying birds BUT YOU KNOW WHAT THIS IS GOOD TOO, I AM PROUD OF IT!! I was just running out of time but i'm still proud of the final result

Balieve it or not, I was going to have a completely different animation- heck it wasn't even going to be pixels! I was having trouble with it, so I just didnt do it (also didnt want to waste time ;3 so I switched over to my backup idea, which I like a lot more!

For those who don't know, the symbols under "BAGBEANS" are the Beanian language they use in Griffia, which also translates to "Bagbeans" lol. On the sign the symbols translate to "Griffia"! I wanted the letters to all look very hand written, so that's why they look a little stylistically scrawled lol.

I also had a lot of trouble compressing this from 50KB down to an acceptable amount lol. That's a rabbit hole I don't wanna go down to explain lol.

I'm going to go to bed after eating a popscicle.
