	:Increasing the image to 400% (64px wide) is a good starting point. If the image looks HUGE, then you can resize it to 300% original size. Whatever looks good.		:Increasing the image to 400% (64px wide) is a good starting point. If the image looks HUGE, then you can resize it to 300% original size. Whatever looks good.

==Size, shadows & animation speeds==
I JUST learned how to make a gif (lol!) and want to do a bunch more monsters because it's actually fun. However before I continue just eyeballing everything: if anyone has any tips on the 3 topics I am unsure about please let me know: 
1) What's the ideal resolution for wiki use? 64px width and then scaled height or is there anything better? or a specific ratio from original gamefile? (they are very tiny with like 16x16px or similar). 
2) Shadows yay or nay? I tried adding the shadow back on [[:File:False Magma Cap Anim.gif]] but I'm not sure if it's better without. 
3) Are animation speeds supposed to be equal to ingame and if yes, how do I find out the animation speed ingame other than observing which is tedious and inaccurate? [[User:Dubesor|Dubesor]] ([[User talk:Dubesor|talk]]) 17:38, 10 April 2021 (UTC)
