Description EDIT: Animation length doubled to allow smoother day/night change.
EDIT2: Added nice border, gave emoticon some more realistic lighting. Also changed moon's length of visibility and improved sun's circular rotation.
EDIT3: Yes, AGAIN! This time I made the emoticon's lighting react to the movement of the sun. Can hardly believe no one mentioned it!
EDIT4: Newer emote style, tighter and faster spin.


There is an emoticon version without the background here: [link]
The benefit of the laptop is that is helps smooth the spinning. You notice with a lot of spinning, the frames where the character has their back to you seems to speed up? That's because the eyes are usually hidden for one, sometimes two, MAYBE three frames, whereas they are both visible for several more. So the spinning looks... uneven. The laptop helped me regulate this. You can look at the emoticon and see several consecutive frames without eyes!

How to Use

People using avatars I made them: downloading often causes errors and is disabled. Right-click the avatar, select 'Save image As..." to save it to your computer. Then, upload from there. (Go to your profile page and click your current avatar to change it.) Also, it is preferred (but not required) that you have: Avatar by =Emotikonz (COPY/PASTE: Avatar by =Emotikonz ) in your signiture to spread the word. Thanks!
Any free avatar suggestions can be made on the Suggestion List . I no longer take requests.

I liked it slower too, but then it looked rough and choppy. However I couldn't add frames to slow it down because then the file size would get too large.

Yeah, a lot of people do seem to like it! I wish I could just figure out WHY....

๐Ÿ‘: 0 โฉ: 1

Mirz123 In reply to Emotikonz [2009-08-16 11:44:08 +0000 UTC]

I think because it is a very succinct way of expressing a strong emotion. So many people can relate to being on the computer all the time. Sometimes it feels like a whirlwind, the time passing quicker than we think. This captures that feeling. Plus, it's original. The transition from day to night to day again has been done before. The addition of the twirling movement is unique...not to mention cool.

I sound like I analyze this stuff too much, don't I. LOL!

Emotikonz In reply to Mirz123 [2009-08-16 11:51:50 +0000 UTC]

Well, I spent several hours (I think they may have been spread across a few days though) on the original spin (I could probably do it faster now of course) so I'm still pleased with the end result!

Mirz123 In reply to Emotikonz [2009-08-16 12:07:11 +0000 UTC]

You should be. Also with the shading of the emote in the dark, I think it works both ways (which is why no one mentioned it). When it was light the whole time, there was that feeling that this emote was in the house on the computer and time was passing outside.

It was like that initially, but I found the edge of the bright emoticon looked rough and horrible against the night.

O RLY? I think the emoticon's edges look too choppy against the night sky. Plus I want to redo the border so it's cleaner.
I'll do that now actually, won't take me long.
