Description
"You never know where inspiration will come from or where it will lead you!"
Don't you hate it when you get a 'great' idea, but you don't have anything handy to write it down with? And then, you lose it.
It was supposed to be a short little animation, but it kept demanding more and more frames. Until it became what it is now.
246 Frames
Made with Gimp and the GAP
Best viewed in FireFox 3 (but it should be fine with other browsers)
Many thanks to all the talented Pixel Artists on DA for inspiration and technical ideas. Especially to for explaining the different frame rate limits on various browsers.
EDIT: Changed some colors to make it easier to see.
EDIT v2: I removed some extra frames that I accidentally added in the previous edit.
EDIT v3: Wow! a DD!
Thank you `Synfull and ^PurpelBlur ! 
EDIT v4: I made an abbreviated version, for use as an avatar, or if you prefer just the dancing in circles part. [link]

This one is too large to use as an avatar, unfortunately. But I made an abbreviated version of just the dance cycle if you want to use that instead. [link]

I think the size limit on avatars is 15k. So, it's much too large.

I wanna draw something, but I can't get it right in at the moment.

Lol I know EXACTILLY how the emote feels - I'd get a character design at 3am and if I slept I'd forget it so I have to find paper and spend the next 2 hours just refining designs and developing the damn character! Samr problem with stories
Great emote, I absaloutley love this one and congrats on the DD too!

Were you INSPIRED to make this? *shot* Cute emoticon, totally describes how some people are like "Oh!" and then forget what they were going to draw/write.

Grats on the DD and gotta give this one a +fav
But I have to ask; it's a great emoticon but could you make a short one where he's just running around in that circle?
For those moments when you're actually happy you got that awesome idea

Just him running in circles with the lightbulb? Yeah, I could do that.
