I love emoticoning, because it's hard to really fail with it!

Same, I doubt that I can compare: emotes vs. awesome art. :/

Yeah, emoticons are so under-rated in my opinion.

Jaytail In reply to Athenas88 [2010-07-26 22:30:27 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, I mean, emotes are the backbone of DA! People use them in conversations. Ex:

"Yeah! I can't wait 'till the results are in! "

And yet they still think emotes aren't important.

Oh, and by the way, did you have a hard time coming up with the idea for your entry?

Athenas88 In reply to Jaytail [2010-07-26 22:33:52 +0000 UTC]

Yeah i did, i have been suffering with 'artists block' for the last few days and im finding it hard to come up with any idea's

thats why in my latest journal i have asked for people to either draw or find me a nice image i can digitaly color.

Jaytail In reply to Athenas88 [2010-07-26 22:37:44 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, I mean, it took me 3 of the 5 days to come up with the idea. But I chose the phoenix because in the Wikipedia definition it said "...and the ashes ignite..." and ignite was my word!

its a very interesting way to think about it, and yes, according to myth pheonix's rise from the ashes in a burst of flame.

its really nicely made.

thanks, it was a little of another emote i created, before i even made this i was suffering from the blasted imagination obstacle (or artists block if you will) and i thought it would work good for this.

the difference between the light blue and the dark blue in the shading is a little bit too big in my opinion, i think it would look better if the dark blue would be brighter Then it would be easier to see the face

but it is a cute idea

Athenas88 In reply to Krissi001 [2010-07-22 20:37:18 +0000 UTC]
