Artist's Comments

I decided to try my hand at making an emote and I really love the outcome! I didn't even have to change the timing! It just works! :excited:

Shading was easy, too!

What do you guys think?

Critiques


:iconhorsesnhurricanes:
You get to be my guinea pig for testing this critique thingy. :lol: Anyway, I love how smoothly it flows, and that I can pretty clearly see the emotion expressed by the lil' blue dude. :D It's the proper size and shape for an emote, I think, and the shading (something that I imagine would be problematic in a lot of cases with something as small as this, haha) is nice as well. The only things I see that could be improved upon include the following: Maybe it's just me, but the eyes and mouth seem a bit close together. Again, an emote doesn't have to follow any strict rules for that sort of thing - and this is different from dA's 'official' emotes anyway - but I think it would be a little more effective a couple pixels more apart. Also, while the shading is really nice, I think perhaps it would look more effective if the shading was a little off-center, like the lighting was coming slightly from the side rather than straight in front of the lil blue dude. :) This would also help the visibility of the face. Also perhaps it might look better with a slightly lighter shade of blue, since the current color makes the eyes and mouth a liiitle hard to see. But even so, overall, this is an exceptional first attempt, and worlds better than I could ever hope to do! :D I eagerly await MOAR emotes from ye 8D

sorry for my bad English
:icondaughterofthestars:
Hmm, maybe. Yeah, I'll probably make a plz account of future ones. This was basically just a test. Would anybody actually use it?

Being a Christian doesn't make me better than you. I'm just someone who lives their life in a different way, and tries to have a positive influence on the world and show them the way home. That's all I'm here for. It's what I was made for.
:iconpaintedbluerose:
I would! :D And depending on which ones you do, I know others will too. :D
