Description
A very useful emoticon.To conquer the old versions, I wanted to make these as realistic as possible. The revamped hand now has 4 fingers! It was actually very useful to study my own hand while making this, for shadows and highlights.

This is the first thumbsup emote I've ever liked. Seriously. Gorgeous job on both of them, BoffinbraiN.

Hey, that's one hell of a cool idea. Doing frames pixel-by-pixel is a killer, but I might give it a go.

ItΒ΄s much better than the old one, the shadows looks great

I think this one of the few emoticons that can be referenced by studying one's own body. It's like art and pixel art combined.

This one looks like real hand, very well shaded & colored..
The old one looks like kiddy-doodle of Mickey Mouse's glove..

And the creator of the originals has been banned...
Thanks.

Exactly.. I mean, we're giving bad example if we keep emotes by banned deviants, it's just wrong

Hmm, well we have no idea how he got banned. 
See the first comment on it. [link] I wonder what the thumbsup before this one looked like.

There were some big yellow ones - [link]

Nice.
My favourite comment is the one by Β°jark , since it shows how quick and easy it used to be to change things on deviantART.

And if you look at his signature on that comment, you can see some old dA emotes

I really do like the shading and the very natural tone on this. However, it almost appears as if its just a hand, rather than a "thumbs up" motion. Perhaps if the thumb could be a little straighter, for example more up and down, rather than angled? Not sure exactly, but I believe if could do with a little touch.
Nice work on the colours though, and awesomely better than the original.

I love how this looks, especially the thumb down one too! [sorry, i'm a bit squished for time

Cheers.
I'll have to count how many thumbs-ups I get in these comments.

Unless you happen to be one of a select few who were born with only three fingers.

Wonderfully shaded, it seems you only used a few colours and yet it's gorgeous.
An improvement, if I may say, is that you could add a subtle amount of pink to show flesh?

Yes, I decided to go old-school and use a limited palette. It was interesting.
I've put a comparison image in my scraps temporarily, so you can see what it would look like.
