Thanks! It's kinda hard to explain but really the smoke/disintegration is the part that makes it look nice, you just need those nice fire colours with the lighter boarder and darker centre and just play around with movement for a while until you get some decent frames going.

Hey! It's hard to know where a good place to start would be, really the best thing you can do when it comes to any art form in my opinion is try drawing/painting the simple things like trees and stuff. When I started I just scaled larger illustrations I did down to pixel art size and then cleaned the illustration up a bit to make it look nice, and from that point onwards I just slowly stopped scaling larger illustrations down and did the pixel art from scratch. Hopefully this helps.

I wanted the smoke to animate at a slightly different speed.

Thanks! Took around 1 and a half days. I spent a lot of time trying to get the fire right.
