In one of your previous videos I asked you if you could show us how the animations work and after a few days my requests were listened to, thank you very much! ♥

This encouraged me to animate a whole game in krita, quite a work, but so rewarding

are you sure that is the best way to do it? I mean, too much fiddly , having to make the between key frames. Also same fiddly thing to create a sprit sheet. I don't know much about krita but it must be a way to export the project already in a sprit sheet format. And it must be a way to make the animation between keyframe like we would in 3D engine . like blender. If krita has something like skeletons, or bones, to be used for animation 2D images, that would be much ideal.

[@ellasketch]

Sure there are other ways and other software to make your animations. We used Krita since it's a free drawing program for hand-drawn animation, available to anyone. Unfortunately, I'm not a 3D artist, so I don't know much about Blender and how to use it for animation :)
