Description
Caution: Careful not to follow just anyone through a doorway.Leavin' Work!: A mean prank to pull on co-workers when they punch their time clocks.
Emote #2!
\\Edit: Uploaded version 2 of Caution, where Blinky Green makes a comeback!
\\Edit 2: Uploaded version 3 of Caution, added Blinky's sneaky move under the floor, as well as shadows.
\\Edit 3: Uploaded version 4 of Leavin' Work!, a whole environment!
\\Edit 4: Uploaded version 5 of Leavin' Work!, I believe to be the last update because now it's LOOPED!! Clouds loop as well, and a sign was added for the "clean-up" phase of the prank. A job well finished!

This is another nice work for the emoticon gallery.e.deviantart.net/emoticons/d/d… " width="21" height="15" alt="
For a 2nd attempt in emoticons, I can't say more than "Awesome!!!".
The animation is very smooth, and the clouds moveing on the sky is a very nice, unexcepted, detail.e.deviantart.net/emoticons/c/c… " width="20" height="20" alt="

The background is awesome - nothing else to say about that.e.deviantart.net/emoticons/w/w… " width="23" height="23" alt="
The emotes are vey well shaded, but a bit of lighting will make them perfect - on both the hands and the bodies.
If you want, you can also do some tests and you may improve the blues.You may also improve the walking, but to me it looks good.e.deviantart.net/emoticons/n/n… " width="15" height="15" alt="
The idea is very original - and of cuorse, TOTALLY AMUSEING - I've never saw something like this on dA before.
Let's remember this is your second emote, =deadlyMETAL . GOOD JOB AND KEEP GOING!a.deviantart.net/avatars/t/a/t… " alt=" " title="tardboogieplz"/>

Thank you very much for the honest and helpful review. I've considered your suggestions (and I've heard the same from others) and am now reworking it to add an ending. I'm going to try to lighten the hands for the emotes, but the lighting on their bodies might not change - that I'm just thinking I'll leave the same. I think the only real challenge with this next and hopefully last update will be looping the clouds: I hadn't thought of looping them at the time!
Again, thank you. This was very generous in both positive remarks and helpful pointers.

Thanks! It's probably going to get ooooone more update before I'll say it's finally finished. Just need to loop it appropriately.

Yeah, I thought it was missing something

I'd have to agree it looks nice but would look better iff you added a couple more frames to get the blue guy off screen

Yeah, I'll be looking into a proper ending that'll loop the entire scene around.

This is a very smooth and pretty emote! Pretty is actually a fairly important quality because it shows that you took the time to polish it up before submitting it. I have two minor recommendations for this piece: First, the brown thing that drops that the purple guy runs into (which is great physical comedy) doesn't go all the way down, and I don't know if that was intentional or not but that little space was bugging me just a tiny bit. Again, no biggie. The second recommendation is that this emote would be PERFECT if it looped - which, I understand, is difficult. However, in general the animation would look, as a whole, a lot smoother with even just the purple guy shaking himself off and bouncing offscreen to reset the emote. The little scene depicted in this emote is hilarious, and the physical comedy came out great, so nice job!
^Again with the fail. Critique as a comment.

Thanks for the supportive yet honest critique, again! 
As for the falling door, that little white space was actually supposed to be the metal plate footer on the door, but it obviously wasn't dark enough to distinguish itself from a space. 
Again, thank you!
