Design breakdown
01Read the silhouette
Check the silhouette on both light and dark backgrounds before adding shine.
02Separate light and shadow
Use the darkest color for structural edges, the middle value for the body, and a small light cluster for the focal point.
How to customize
- Replace the middle palette color while keeping the light-to-dark order.
- Change one edge pixel, then compare the silhouette at native size.
- Add a second frame and keep the outline stable while moving the highlight.
Animation ideas
- Alternate the bright center with a darker frame for a reward pulse.
- Duplicate the first frame and compare the loop before adding more poses.
