Description This is how all those other Emoticorporations make their emotes. How sad

Here at =Abfc co. we make all of our emotes by hand (or cursor, for all intensive purposes) and with love.
Also... These bastards stole my shading recipe!!!!!

THIS TOOK FOR-FUCKING-EVAR!!!!
Time spent on:
Thinking it all through: 40 minutes
Pixeling the layers and parts: 1.5 hours
Animating: 2 hours
conveyor belts are a pain in the ass to pixel.. My original idea was to have them constantly going, but it would've been WAY too much work...

Enjoy!

Seriously, critique will be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks

Wow, only a day and already 52 favs. I love you all so much Yes, this is an important update worth resending to your devWATCH. I'm such a whore

I see what you mean about the second hand bouncing kinda sketchy. And I appreciate the critique. If you'd given it maybe... a year ago? I'd be able to act on it but the layers for this emoticon are long gone.

Well, I don't think anybody could say this is a bad emoticon. It's smooth, the pixel work on the emote is great, everything fits together and ties in to this amazing animation. The only thing I would suggest is maybe make something come down and draw a face? That would make it even better, and cuter. But besides that it's great! There isn't really much to critique, because almost everything is perfect. The way the color sprays on on to the emote is really awesome. There are a lot of different 'How emoticons are made' animations made by different emoticonists, but you did a spectacular job on this one.
I say e.deviantart.net/emoticons/p/p… " width="15" height="16" alt="" title="+fav" />! e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s… " width="26" height="18" alt="" title="I salute you!" />

Thanks for the critique! I know I forgot to add eyes and such, but that was a good week after I'd deleted the layered file. :9 Been badgered about it plenty, trust me.

I hate when I make something, delete the layer file, and want to go and edit something that isn't quite right but I can't.

An absolutely creative emoticon idea coming from a mind of a great person. I think this is one of the absolute best emoticon deviations I've ever seen, and it deserves all the favourites it's had! I'm so glad I've encountered this picture! Even I've e.deviantart.com/emoticons/p/p… " width="15" height="16" alt="" title="+fav" />'d it! This artist must be so thoughtful to think of this idea! If anybody says this is crap, they're so wrong! This deviation is e.deviantart.com/emoticons/t/t… " width="15" height="15" alt="" title="Thumbs Up" /> e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/s… " width="17" height="16" alt="" title="Star!" /> e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/s… " width="17" height="16" alt="" title="Star!" /> e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/s… " width="17" height="16" alt="" title="Star!" /> e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/s… " width="17" height="16" alt="" title="Star!" /> e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/s… " width="17" height="16" alt="" title="Star!" /> (Why do I have to put so many f***ing words here?! Why can't they let me have as many words as I want?!) Anyway, this picture is extremely good, bye bye!
