This was the first Pikmin Bit I made, and it was intended to be the only.

There was no grand plan, I really just drew a Bulborb reacting to something offscreen, then I animated it. Because I liked how that animation turned out, I built more of a story around it, simply just depicting ME finding a Red Pikmin, and using him to attack the Bulborb-- so NOW the reaction had a purpose.

Matter of fact, you can still see the guidelines in one of the frames of the Bulborb's reaction.

When I uploaded this one to Twitter, it was a slow grower in the first few hours. But then it was being shared more, and suddenly the engagements were in the HUNDREDS, which was previously unreached for me. I immediately began work on the next bit, since it's always nice to know people are seeing your work.
