Very cool! To clarify, is the original right-facing duck yours, or just the nice animations/directions? I've seen this duck around a lot longer than this itch page has been up

Hey! I'm actually the original creator of the right facing duck - I pixeled this 8 years ago and posted it to Reddit here https://www.reddit.com/r/PixelArt/comments/88lbn7/oc_cc_rubber_duck_animation/. I'm sure this guy made the other 3 rotations though. Just saw this page scrolling Google Images and laughed out loud.
HI Alex!
Thank you for the explanation and sorry for the long reply. We have currently abandoned asset creation and switched to website development. We didn't know because we had four artists on staff and it was the work of one of them, who claimed that the work was original. The artist has already been dismissed. I apologize for this oversight. Due to this mistake, I think it would be reasonable to make all our assets free. If you ever need advice or help with marketing and coding for your projects, feel free to contact me. I will give you my contact details.
Best regards, Arthur Stankevicz
Yooo, cool to meet you! I remember finding that reddit post when I was trying to find the artist but your account was deleted. Really awesome to finally know who made it! I was researching at the time to try and find out what licensing the duck was under if any (or if it was for sale), since its my pfp on sites like itch and github but didn't want to identify too much with an asset I couldn't freely use. Any thoughts on that?
Regardless cool to meet you and thanks for making my go-to minecraft pixel art creation lol. Big ups
