Description
Enough procrastinating! I am finally finished with this, after several months. My first feature-length emoticon, and I think it rocks.
The founder of this crazy idea is =ShinyObject01 and you can find the Food Ninjas listings here . Enjoy!
A whopping 91 frames long. It's a good thing most of the objects are secretly vectors
which makes it very quick and easy to alter them (rather than pixel-by-pixel each frame). The only thing it doesn't have is a matrix spin, but there is a slo-mo kick-ass ball-smash to keep you content. 
Again, all critique must be heard! Thank-you.
Update 2006-08-14 A DD? For me? Nothing is impossible, it seems!
V1.1 2006-12-14 Lovingly updated after overhaul of border and shading updates to my other ninjas.
V1.2 2007-04-06 A few more minor improvements made.

That's sooo cool! I really like the start of it, right be fore the slow-mo. The slow-mo seems a bit chomp-y but other than that it's great!

Yeah, the slo-mo was meant to look like a frame-by-frame, but didn't look as great as I thought. But hey, it was my second emoticon, so I'm not so bothered.

This is great! And I think the baseball bat should be mandatory ninja equipment. LOL! I love the way he holds the bat and bows at the end.

Ninjas could probably strike baseballs with their bare hands anyway.

Awesome! Please make it long!
By the way, can I use your smileys on my msn?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
MSN has its old habit of badly stretching non-standard sized emoticons. They have to be in certain dimensions to work. If the ninja emoticons don't get used officially on dA, then I might release them for such uses, but if they are used then it would go against dA copyright regulations to use them elsewhere.

Yay!
Windows live is very good at keeping smileys the same size.

Thanks a lot! Yes, there are one or two parts I could redo, but given it was my second ever emote, I'm not too worried. I may still touch it up some time.
