-- ABOUT THE DEVIATION --
HOMI-FUCKING-GOD. :love:

I have been getting absolutely nowhere with my traditional art. :| I'm just so damn fed up at this point that I decided to try and dabble in other art forms! And this is my first ever animated emote. <3 I'm so damn fucking proud of myself. I've been sitting here, glued to the computer, for the past five hours trying to get this thing finished. ;~;' But I'm actually really proud of the results. More proud than I've been of one of my art pieces in a long time. I'm going to do some more experiments in animation and emoticons and then I'll move onto photography. Then photo-manipulations and then either vexel/vector or space art. Although ultimately, space art is my final goal seeing as it's my favorite art form ever. And thrown in all that will be CSS and maybe some traditional stuff if I can get some inspiration to do so.

So anyways... :eager:

This is going to be my emote character. She's called Stealycat. :giggle: She has funky blue glowing eyes and I'll probably give her a tail. I couldn't be bothered incorporating a tail into this piece -- it would be far too much work. .__. She has a buddy named Alphacat and you'll see her later on!

And the idea behind the emote... I am terrified of spiders (among many other things) so that's where this came from. And a big big big thank-you to the following people (because without you I couldn't have finished this!).

:bulletblack: `bad-blood and your Emote Shading Tutorial!
:bulletblack: `LeoLeonardo and your Animating in Imageready Tutorial!
:bulletblack: `CookiemagiK and your Running Tutorial!

Gosh I'm just so darn happy right now.

Please please please give me critiques! I want to be able to improve so I would definitely love some helpful tips! <3

Daily Deviation

Given 2009-04-05

Eek--A Spider by =Nekoori is absolutely excellent. But what makes it even more amazing is the fact that this is this deviant's very first try at emoting. The idea itself is really original, the animation pretty smooth and adorable, shading technique as well as facial expressions subtle but efficient. A promising work by a promising deviant. Can't wait to see more! (Featured by `DeMaulwurfn)

Critiques


:iconsymbu:
This is truly amazing. The fact that Nekoori did this for her first try. It's simply amazing, beyond to me. I always stare at this, amazed by this cute little emote, it just inspires me a lot. Also, the effects are very nice and simple, to people, but it's really funny if you keep looking at the cute little emote. It's truly amazing, how this emotes all crazy and can't wait to keep going and going for lots of adventure too! n.n Can't wait to see more, of her talent, of these little guys. X3 Hope it does to you too. ^^

It's always great to find hidden talent within the commuity, and thats certainly the case with this emoticon.

The whole concept of the emote is well thought out and nicely displayed with an easy to follow plot. The animation throughout is smooth and the shading is quite impressive.

The variation in expression has really been used to it's maximum in this piece and enhances the overall result. The running motion also stands out as a positive point. The hands move fluidly with the jumping motion to create an amusing and smooth running action.

However, there are a few places in which i feel this emoticon could be improved. It would be nice to see the spider roatate slightly when moving in the side to side motion. I understand this can not always be easily achieved with such a small object, but the way the spider hangs vertically as the thread alters angle makes the spider look a little disorientated.

My other suggestion would be to alter the blue eyes at the beginning of the animation. As white eyes are used to show the shocked expression, and only black lines for the blinking action, the orginal eyes look a bit out of place.

None the less, even without these improvements it is still a great attempt at an emoticon. There is good potential for more impressive emoticons in the future and i look forward to any which might be made :)
