Description
The inspiration for this emoticon comes from none other than our mighty Gallery Director ^livius . I believe it was her first emoticon submitted on deviantART over two years ago that lead me to open Adobe ImageReady and begin (and finish) this creation on this very night.I become aware of its existence after ^livius wrote a journal about an emoticon of hers that had received much abuse. Why was this so? More than a few people had taken her emoticon :beatingadeadhorse: literally. Whilst laughing at the situation, I thought to myself, "What other sayings or expressions could be shown more literally?"
And this is where I arrived a month later when the idea came back to me. I was surprised to find it hadn't been done before but I present to you the adage "to jump on the bandwagon".
We see quite literally, someone jumping on a bandwagon.

You, sir, are brilliant.
The wagon is fantastic. I love how you've offset the wheels so you can see all four of them. Clean, handsome, detailed without being busy.
I really hope this is going to be a series. Hmm... Actually, maybe I should make it interesting and get a contest going.

perhaps put a musical instrument in there somwhere to make it a tad more literal.

I'm not sure how I can work it in though... I might play with a music note on the side of the canvas or something. Thanks champ.

No worries mate. The music note sounds like a plan.

It's looks great, jumping on the bandwagon to me though calls to mind someone jumping onto the bandwagon from the side of the road. As if to say, 'ooh like the look of that' and jumps on
Great quality emoticon though

Yes, me too. However, if this phrase is taken literally then it can be interpreted as the emote just jumping up and down.

Okies, still looks fantastic, love the jumping

Brilliant idea and execution. The bandwagon's really nicely pixelled, and, as always, the emote bounces beautifully.

I did try movement of the wheels, but I felt that it removed the focus away from the "jumping", which is in fact what I'm trying to express. Whilst it looks okay, I feel I have to sacrifice animation for effect.
