Ha, I guess so. I never really thought about that. Actually, your comment gave me a good idea for a modification on this emoticon. Keep an eye out for it soon.

Aww, it's so sad. But very good animation, the handkerchief looks quite realistic. And the dabbing of the eyes is a nice touch, keeps it from becoming monotonous. I like this, and I think DA could use it.

This one is really really good! The movement of the tissue is just perfect!

Thanks a lot. It took a little bit of work, but I like how it turned out. I like your chicken one and the bubble burst a lot, too.

Thanks! I am working on a super hero one, but I can't make the cape flap in a realistic way. I was wondering if you had any pointers since you made that hanky blow so realistically.

Wow, I being asked for tips! :wOOt:
I'll try to help as much as I can. The hankie is only two frames, so it's fairly easy. The first frame is the limp one, so it will hang straight down and be skinny. The next frame will be a flare, so the cape will need to stretch out about one pixel on each side and make it a pixel shorter. To give the image of wrinkles, have a couple of single pixels stretch from the holding point, (where the cape is connected to) towards the bottom of the cape, but be careful to avoid touching the border of your emote if the border is black, otherwise it will look like you did a bad job putting in your pixels. Depending on the size of the cape you may need to make more frames to create a nice blend from the loose cape to the flared cape. My best suggestion is to create a few frames, then look at them at 100% size and see what they look like. Keep playing until you find something you are satisfied with. I hope I helped and good luck.
P.S. Would a character that has a blow-up prom date qualify for the contest?

First I have to laugh at your suggestion of a blow up prom date. I think that's hillarious and yes, it would qualify as long as it's not to big in size, and as long as it is shaded
I uploaded my hero one... Your explanation is pretty much what I was guessing, but it was nice to have the details. I have stared at it for a while and been pondering. Now I know. Thanks soooo much!
I love the original ideas. Keep them coming. I check the emote submissions daily, and I comment on the ones that really catch my eye. so if it catches my attention, I'll be sure to let you know!
