Description For the "Real Life Emoticon" Contest ~ [link] ~

Please note this is a PSD File that will download onto the desktop. It was the only way to make it look decently.

This is Santa Mickey Mouse Plush purchased at a shop at Walt Disney World that is just a fat "ball" of a mouse. He looks like a emoticon just sitting on the shelf. He has been photographed then in PhotoShop Elements 8 I erased the background and cleaned up the edges and did a bit of coloring on his eyes and belt buckle. Using another layer I made a circle with the round brush then used a variety of bevels, buttons and applications to get the background to look that way. The edges should be transparent but will probably only look transparent on download. I added drop shadows then merged visible. He looks like an emoticon to me!

Disney has several characters that are the "rolly-polly" versions. Here is a deviation I did of Mickey before and after the Disney-Dining-Plan . When shopping, my family and I saw the very-round Mickey and we laughed thinking about the idea that when taking a Disney vacation and purchasing the food plan, there is so much food available that it causes a person to gain weight even with getting all the exercise of touring!

True, I like and share your idea of "before and after"

Thank you. My "fat" Mickey graces the shelf on my computer armoire. He just sits and looks at me reminding me to just pass up that extra bite of chocolate

Thank you very much. I was looking at him sitting on the desk and knew I needed to do an emoticon of something in "real" life and he was staring at me. The idea just clicked that he looked like an emoticon being so round!

Yes, yes, WAY too many Christmas cookies! If you remember I made a little humor panel with a regular Mickey plush and the fat Santa Plush and then put "before the Disney Dining Plan" then "After the Disney Dining Plan"!!! Because we got the Dining plan and ate ourselves sick... and even had leftover units

The Tigger is great. Tina has that one that I bought her and she has a big Eeyore one. They are so cool... only the Donald freaks me out since he looks like an egg

Yes, the Donald is just too freaky... I'll pass on it. The Pooh is great!
