Description Inspired by the advent of new and revised Emoticons here recently, I decided "why not make my own?" - after al, I have the know-how, I have one other animated GIF in my gallery so far and I made my own avatar too...just finding motivation is hard because it literally takes HOURS just to make a few seconds of animation

I might as well enter this Rainbow Contest too, even though I had something else in mind, luckily I can enter twice if need be, wish me luck, I personally thought this was an original and humerous idea for an emoticon, sorry it's a bit bigger than standard emoticons, it was the only way I could get each face to appear clear (the individual emotes by the way ARE correct size) - I wasn't intending this one being one that could actually be used anyway

So lets look at the colour's meanings ay? colour often gives a certain mood in art, I chose the most common representation for each, keep in mind this is in my own words, how I interpret them;

Red: Red is the colour of blood, so since the dawn of time it was a colour used as a warning, red is danger or attention, when we get mad, the blood vessels in our face increase flow and make our faces red!
Orange: Did you know that looking at the colour orange increases oxygen flow to the brain and temporarly improves IQ? that's why I consider orange the "smart" colour, smart people aren't easily impressed, hence why the orange blank-stare emote works so well
Yellow: The colour of sunshine, Daffodils, baby ducklings and all things happy, yellow is bright and lively, the classic smiley face is yellow, and so is the much used "lol" emote
Green: While green can represent nature and health, in reference to humans, looking "green around the gills" as the saying goes often refers to sickness, and anyone who has puked raw green bile would agree
Blue: Arguably the most popular colour on Earth, and also the most common, blue is regarded as cool and calm, hence the sporty sunnies
Indigo: The neglected colour of the spectrum, people will often skip "Indigo and Violet" and just simplify and say "purple" - Indigo is rather dark and dismal, so I thought it would be best for the solemn feel of sadness
Violet: Considered the creative and passionate colour, maybe that's why most of violet's fanbase are often artistic or spiritual people, so the "cute" face I gave is kinda a representation of the loving, deep and understanding nature of many violet lovers

Did you know? - That red light has the longest wavelength followed by orange, right down to violet with the shortest (but with most frequency) - it's that which always causes red to appear first in the rainbow with violet last

Thanks a lot also to `arrioch and ^Synfull for featuring it as a Daily Deviation!

Copyrighted animation, please do not upload this to other accounts or websites, however using it to brighten your journals is fine (credit would be nice though)

I certainly did, even a similar one I had way beforehand (but Cloud was too sad-looking in that one ) this is only my third avatar I think

The individual frames were made in Photoshop and each saved as it's own GIF file, while possible to animate too in Photoshop, I don't know how so I use this really old program called Animation Shop 2 (it's a decade old, it came with Paint Shop Pro 6 ) and line them all up in there and save it as an animated GIF file

That is so cool!I wish I could change my color, then I would be white as a Vampire! Haha, I just got my head in the coulds, I guess. Well, I AM a pisces. I have to say my fav one is the Violet one. And the red one.

Chromattix In reply to naruhinaforeva [2009-09-14 04:01:54 +0000 UTC]

Lol, of all the available colours - you chose the most plain one But I guess that's what Vampires are like, you'll need to avoid the sun at all costs since pure white skin will give zero UV protection...guess you'll have to behave like one too and only come out at night But yeah - you could try all other colours for other occasions - that's one skill I've wished to have ever since I was a kid myself

White for peace...
Yellow for pleasure...
Violet for dark happiness...

This is so sweet. I love rainbows! Even though this is a light spectrum xD

But yeah this is really cool. I prefer the violet/indigo side, my favourite colour is of the purpley, lilacy, violety...indigo-ey kind

If what they say about Red being the one to be the longest wave/the first one to show and violet is last, no wonder I'm slow XD

for you!

Chromattix In reply to xXxWhIsPeRxXx [2009-09-02 13:13:49 +0000 UTC]

Don't worry - a rainbow technically is a light spectrum anyway, on a deceivingly large scale that can't be reached and I agree - the purple shades are my favourite as well, they catch my eye more because other colours tend to be more common than the purple end

Thanks for faving to!

That's a very clever gif! It makes sense to me, the white, reflective orb (rain?) merging with the crystal triangle... making the rainbow...
Lovely!!

Thankyou! the white one just resembles plain o'l white light - colourless and without character - until it splits into its individual components that is

Thanks for the feature too!
