I had this idea while snowboarding last week...well actually, i had loads of ideas...a whole book of them! I'm going to be working through them all eventually.

I thought an emoticon for art collaborations would be a good idea. I went over the possibility of a trendwhorey using computer ones, but it just wasn't pheasable. So i went traditional with a nice picture of a tree

Actually my biggest emote yet, at 160 frames, and it took me about an hour to do. It was a nightmare to animate, and I ended up using multiple layers for different hands as well as being behind and ugh. At least the hard work paid off.
Photoshop wip screenie is here, and I decided to post it for the emote competition just for a laff.

Enjoy!

Edit: Sorry to spam your message centres again, I'm trying some other shading styles. There will probably be another.
Edit 2: Woah...seriously messed up the animation. Should be sorted now.
Edit 3: Edited the colouring once again. I apologise. However, I think it looks better.
