Simply amazing, it's so smooth and the details are very astonishing.
I also enjoy the shading,the water looks very detailed and actually looks like water.
The little yellow emote moving is so amazing, so smooth, i also think the expressions it makes are remarkable.
The skeleton's realism is very believing too. The cactus is also very incredible; i must say, this is by far one of the best emocon i have ever seen - also the fact that it is amazingly animated.
Even though the Sun doesn't look that believable, i still think you did a fascinating job on this. Great work!

Right, straight into saying I love it and it does make emoticonists proud to see someone show aspiring talent. There's a few things I love and another few that would bring that impact right up to five stars!
I love the water - it's absolutely gorgeous with the use of hues whilst the depths and shadows are clearly seen, however watch out for when you reach frame 30 because the ripples then suddenly disappear.
Also the emote needs a bit of shading since you have the sun supposedly creating a shadow. Despite these few bits and bobs, I really enjoy the idea and with water being a difficult thing to animate, you've done a splendid job. You have my fave and an inspired watcher. e.deviantart.net/emoticons/a/a… " width="15" height="15" alt="

THIS NEEDS A DAILY DEVIATION! The colors are the Wind Waker equivalent of the emote world; bright and adorable! And the animation is so smooth! Btw, Wind Waker, for those of you who don't know what it is, is agame form the Legend of Zelda series that has really bright and cute graphics!

So very pretty!
If I may ask, is there a special significance to this piece? Symbolism?

I'm not the emoticonist but I think there is. Looking at the title, "Happiness is always near", I think that the yellow emote is looking for water in a dessert and hoping to get water from the cactus. If he walks a little bit more, he will discover the oasis!

This looks wonderful. The colors you used go really well together and the animation flows perfectly. For the most part it is very well shaded, though the shading on the emoticon seems a bit odd in that kind of harsh lighting, mostly the fact it is the same exact color on the other side of the shadow and the fact the shadow appears to just be a stripe. (Unless that is a stripe and not a shadow, in which case you can disregard my stupidity.) I also love the concept behind it and how you illustrated that concept.

awesome, really like the animation, too bad there aren't more frames, could be fun to make it a little longer

Is this minecraft related? I ask only because the title and details of the emote both remind me of that game and how you can find yourself so close to something special, often without realising it for ages.

Gorgeous. Just....gorgeous. I love how you shaded and animated the water.
