Description
This is an intersting emoticon here. The blue Emoticon is just sitting there, then he realizes something is different about the yellow emoticon. He circles him to see if he can figure it out, and finds that the yellow one is actually flat. This idea came around after i finished with the CD emoticon earlier today.Related content

Very nice effect when the blue guy twists the yellow one.

Thanks. It was something I worked on with the CD emote test first, then converted over to this one.

Ah, because most emots are yellow and round and generally very ugly (Uhg...the MSN one ;_; they are so utterly ugly, especially the big smily one where the face looked like a psychopath >__<
I would much rather not use text emoticons either hwoever...people seem to assume that I'm really pissed at them if I don't o_O;

Really good job on this one.
It really does look flat, you pulled that off perfectly. I wouldn't have thought of this. I also like the way Mr. Blue walks around Mr. Yellow. The pixel progression makes it look like he's actually walking in a circle, not just from left to right, then back again but backwards. Everything is quite smooth, and the expressions are flawless.

Thanks. When "Mr. Blue" was walking around "Mr. Yellow," I had trouble on the ends, to make it look like a turn and not just a change of direciton. I must have played with the hands and eyes for ages (it felt like).
I value hearing that you like it. It makes me feel like the work I spent on it worth it.

It makes a nice match for =Zikes 'es :decoy: but the spinning effect is something completely new for me - and it's great!

I love this piece, particularly the remarkable rendering of a half-spin circle in 2 dimensional space. That's a hard trompe l'oeil to pull off it, and you did so flawlessly. Although his concept was quite different than yours here, =E-motive 's :static: emote takes a similar approach to the "other" (in this case the flat smiley among 3 dimensional ones). I love this kind of work for the same reason I love you bouncing avatar emote: they cross the proscenium arch, they break their own barriers.
Outstanding work, GibbyGibson. Thank you for it.

On a unrelated topic, how often do you presume on releasing the Emote Expo articles? Bi-weekly?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Bi-weekly is the plan, yes ma'am. We're running a little late on the upcoming issue, but if we get cracking this weekend we'll still be able to pull it off relatively easily.

Ma'am? Ahem. I ain't no "ma'am."

I know! I know 'cause I checked but I consistently forget. I blame Debbie Gibson. It's so totally her fault.

Firstly, I don't really like how the yellow emote blinks. I guess it's each to his own, but to me it seems like the eyes slowly disapper. I use a different kind of technique where you go from 3 pixels vertically to two pixels horizontally. It works for me, but I guess it depends on what you like.
The other thing, is that when the blue first "spins" the yellow emote, I couldn't tell if he actually span him all the way around, or just pushed him slightly and then pulled him back. But then I noticed that they eyes appear again, so he can't be spinning all the way around. I'm not really sure how to make this a little clearer, but overall a very nice emote with some top notch animation!

The blinking is how I have always done my blinking, but I do agree that it is slightly too slow. Normally it is a .1 second delay with the movement of the blinking, and I believe it is a .15 second delay with the hopping deal in this emoticon, so that was a compromize I made. I can go back and see what can be done though. Maybe I can just get rid of the blink when the blue one is behind the yellow one, for I personally do not feel it moves too slow with the other two blinks.
To the second deal, he is just pushing him slightly and then pulling him back; hince the eyes still being visible.
As always, I really apprececiate the indepth discussion we had here. It helps greatly in knowing what others see out of what I make, and how I can work later on to make it even more understandable, later on. Thanks.

I am going to talk about this one soon enough, and reply to your comments, as soon as my wrist heals. I sprained it and it hurts to type and I want to do these justice. My apologies

That's alright. I can wait. I am patient ... to an extent.

hahaha that's soo funny, but maybe you should make them laugh aswell after spinning around
