	12x12 pixels combined with a fixed palette dominated by shades of grey. Those are some harsh limitations.

	Submitted an entry, hope it's not too active for an idle animation :)

	Hello, this is my first post on the forum and this would be my first piece submitted to the gallery... I was thinking of submitting this creepy spider-like monster with a big red eye, but wow, this is harder than I thought, with such a small canvas size! This is just a quick WIP of course, but I'd appreciate some opinions on what version of the animation looks better, and how to improve on it: Thanks!
