Description
I really love the way this emoticon turned out. I always loved this action, and have always wanted to see someone actually do this in real life. Much to my disappointment, a few months back I found this emoticon already on deviantART, but after some consideration I decided to make my own. The existing one shows someone climb the wall, then fall, then begin again, whereas this just a small loop to portray the action, rather than tell a story.I decided to go for a black and white theme. I'm not really sure why, it just seemed to suit the idea better. Although, you can check out the colour version if you like and tell me which one you prefer.
At least two hours work just smoothing out the animation and getting the buildings to work smoothly. Let me know what you think.

I like this grayscale version better, because it reminds me more of a comic for some reason.

No, not an official emoticon. However, you can still thumb it like any other deviation.

It looks like those those buildings are collapsing. I think buildings should "stop moving", when emote is already grapping building.

Wow. It's gorgeous, zac. I love the color one as well (your signature green is a favorite of mine, and the blue panes of glass are totally sleek), but this greyscale is 100% class.
Bravura performance, my friend.

I quite like the green, but I wanted to go for some class this time.
