Small pixel art builds: a mimic, a dragon egg, a bonsai and more

Where the series started: six small sprites, each built step by step, each with named layers and animation tags you can keep editing.

What makes it work

Mimic chest: a friendly chest with iron bands and a gold lock, then eyes, a tongue and teeth.
Dragon egg: wobbles, cracks and hatches; the shell ends up as a hat.
Ship in a bottle: the sea is two layers, so the ship sails through the waves.
Bonsai: one indexed sprite, four seasons from one palette_variants export.
Cozy room: an isometric room with rain, a flickering lamp, steam and a sleeping cat.

How it was built

The planEach sprite designed in code, labelled 'The plan' on screen.
BuildOne sprite_patch per step; after every step every frame was exported and compared with the design.
