Description
Now this came to me at around midnight, and I had to do it. It's based on the old game "Snake" where you had to eat all the pretty little apples without biting yourself in half ... so this is my version.I didn't realize it would be such an ordeal. This little piece of animation took 148 frames, and as many layers since I had to basically draw each frame's snake over and over. I looked forward to the straight aways.
Overall I'm happy with this avatar and it's minimal feel and retro vibe.
If anyone wants one like this ... note me, and we can talk. I have a few already made in back up we could work with.

You know, this is one of my favorite avatars. I'm too lazy and don't have the patience to make one that detailed.

Never heard of the game - a snake biting itself in half?

I wasn't paying attention when I originally saw this in your journal, and then I saw it as a deviation and actually LOOKED at it. I love it! Very realistic (almost like I'm looking at a cell phone that's playing the game for me...only better 
I think you've done a fantastic job on this!

I like the smooth movement it has, and the retro concept itself.
I wish I could be more critique, but there isnt anything I can suggest right now. Keep on it.

Don't worry about it ... sometimes support is just as important as critique. If no one liked my work, I wouldn't bother posting it up.
