EDIT
As per some wonderful advise and some requests I have updated the bouncyness. I added a mouth, took me forever to decide on one that looked good. trust me when i say this is the best i can do XD I also added a n extra squash when he lands the final time, it's not so abrupt anymore. I extended the spaztic hand wave a few more frames, i think it was needed. And finally I updated the colors. The one before was okay, but i found the color a bit to drab.

whadduya think?

check the first version here

EDIT 2
I had several requests for a plz account and for this to be added to zikes and I'm happy to say it finally is ^^ for the plz account I had to remove one of the bounces so that it would fit the 15kb size limit I hope it is still as enjoyable.

made another one :B

This is technically my third attempt at making an emote. The other one I am still trying... it's not going as well as i hoped ^^; animating these buggers aren't that hard, it's the pixel work that gets me. Any pointers from real emoticonists?

Daily Deviation

Given 2009-03-08

:bouncyhai: by ^Ikue is a wonderfully animated emoticon. The bouncing, shading and expression of it are supremely excellent - although this is just the third attempt of this deviant at making them! And I am sure there are many more fantastic emoticons to come.

hmm I think you should work a little more on the last bounce... and maybe try drawing a mouth for him.. a open happy mouth (use some red pixels of different red tones to give the mouth some depth). Plus lately I noticed a lot of people adding small shadows for their emotes.. I think those shadows looks nice and give a more 3d effect... you could add one :paranoid:

Hah! awesome :giggle: I like the stretching part which does a lot to make the jumping animation look smoother :D
I think the emote is staying still in the air for a bit too long though (The 3 frames when he's at the top). Other than that it looks great ^^

I think it's a fab emote and concept, however I do think the stretching in the bounce seems a bit off.

I don't know anything about emote animation, so I can't offer any advice :(

Damn you multitalented people!
