dA Headquarters Project Entry

This is my entry for :devstaffapprecation:'s / `SanguineEpitaph's & `Mirz123's Emote dA Headquarters Project.

I know I don't do emotes often and here's why: I plain suck at shading them. I'm used to dithering things, but dithering uglifies an emote. I know my colours and shading are all over the place, but I tried. Pixeling the outlines took me less than half an hour, the shading I struggled with for 2h+.


Tips & critiques on emoting are thus really, really welcome!
I want to learn how to do that awesome-tastic shading a lot of emoticonists do, yo!

Now for the content: a new devWear t-shirt with a blue star. Guess for who?
