Description FINALLY. I made it. I've been working on this one for soooo long now.


Stats:
Colors: 143 (I think it could be improved, but hey)
Frames: 856
Length (in supported browsers) ~1minute
Work time: Honestly, I don't remember, but it might be between 35 and 45 hours.


This is my entry for this month's EMTC theme, TIME.

At first, my intentions were to have a full life, from birth to death. Running low on time, I chose to loop it on a generation, from birth to the next birth.

HOWEVER, someday, you might see "LIFE: extended" appear in my gallery.

I'm not the best at facial expressions but I tried my best. This project made my animations skills improve a lot.
Thanks to all the support I got from my friends =BlissfullySarcastic `Synfull =Kyramy and ~Kahall who got harassed by myself during the last 6 weeks for feedback on this piece.

EDIT: Thank you to `stuck-in-suburbia , =Kerubimu , =nani-fo-sho , =hanketsu1717 , =IceXDragon , *spring-sky and =pixiepot for suggesting it and ^krissi001 for featuring it as a DD!

EDIT 2: try to listen to Spanish Flea while watching it, it syncs well suggested by ~Mechanicold
It also goes pretty well with Faithfully by Journey suggested by ~Teru-is-True

Wow, I love it! I really like the way his haircut changes, and also the serendipitous way he meets his lover. Pretty clever how you made it loop, I must say!

lol, I was expecting the blue emoticon to drag the pink emoticon to the altar, but instead it loops back to a baby. family outside marriage, how modern!

Awww! So cute and funny! I love the little baby emoticon I'm kinda glad you didn't go all the way from birth to death, it would be so sad to "share" the little emote's life and then see him die The story flows really well from life to new life as it is It's extremely evident how much time and effort you put into this, with amazing results! Great job, keep up the good work, and congrats on the DD! You deserve it!

MerelyCubed In reply to BloodMoonEquinox [2012-02-11 02:02:46 +0000 UTC]

Well I wanted to go through a lot of emotions with it, with the pink emote actually dying before him. This is still the whole script I have so when I'll end up extending it this is how it'll go. Thank you very very much

Love it, i think my fave part the the "boring school".
And i think it works better from birth to birth. shows more 'life' hence the title.

MerelyCubed In reply to Atsuma1589 [2012-02-08 12:19:41 +0000 UTC]

Thank you I agree, and I think both options are good. This one shows the "miracle of life" somehow, and the full one would show a complete lifetime.
