Description
This little guy is completely emotionally drained. Unlike :exhausted:, where the drained/tired feeling is more physical, this one is more about losing your energy to be emotionally involved, or to even care anymore. You just don't have anymore to give.Thanks to my recent experience, I tend to feel like this more often than not here lately.
I have no idea if there is already an emote out there that covers this emotion, I wasn't trying to remake/revamp/steal someone else's work....I just sat down and wanted to create something, and this is what I got.

Time: An hour or so, thanks to kids trying to grab my mouse
My oldest kept telling me this was Baby Owl. I laughed. A lot.

Would you mind if I used this on my family website next month as one of our "seasonal" emotes? I would just use 1 frame, since we use static emotes as bullets. It's just too cute and I know many of the ladies would relate to it.

You did an incredible job on the emotion and face of the emote. Fantastic work

That emote amuses me. When hovered on, it says petting is sensual.
But neither emote looks so be in a sensual mood at all.
Thanks!

Wow. I totally know this feeling. Was there a few weeks ago. Better now, but I'm sure I'll get there again. This is really well done. Even if there is another emote with the same theme, it's nice to have different "takes" on the emotions.
LOL about the owl. That's something my kids would say.

This is the funk I am slowly pulling myself out of, but I have a feeling it is one that will revisit often. My boys are going to keep me busy and exhausted, methinks.
I was amused he said it, I have been working on an owl emote for him now. I know you did one and I am not trying to "improve" it or anything, just make something to make Dylan happy. But I imagine you will completely understand.

Of course. Like I said, I'm not one who believes that once an emote is done it can never be done again. I love seeing different takes on emotes.

It is heaps tired. And Dylan cracks me up a lot anymore with his interesting take on things.

I think it's a sign for you to make a baby owl emote. 8D
