Shuttermonkey Avatarby $Ikue

Customization / Icons / Avatars / deviantART

Do Not Use

I saw $damphyr's new avatar and fell in love with it and was inspired by *NekoSoraYagami's work and wanted to see if I could manage one of my own. After I made mine ^shuttermonkey demanded we match... So I made this. 4 hours in to pixeling and animating (stupid tail) he wants to know if it is 'too much trouble' then tries to get me to stop after realizing I've been at it for hours.

He loves his cargo's and flipflops so I tried to do those justice (I'm amazed at how one pixel makes it look like a pocket...). And the tail was a given. It was a lot more work than I thought too. Trying to get it to look fluid and interesting took quite a while and a lot of trial and error. After I finished and saved I realized it was almost double the allowed kb size for avatars so I had to shrink it down significantly. I refused to let the original go to waste so I'm uploading it here. I did have to adjust the height a pixel or so for the final version, his neck got eaten somehow.

I made one for both ^shuttermonkey and myself. Here's a link to mine.
