Artist's Comments

Alright, so keeping with my oh-so-common theme of body image. This emote is about how emotes are supposed to be round not.....er...skull shaped.

So if you don't get it:

Miss blue is eating an ice cream cone.
Miss pink and yellow walk by, all thin and pretty, and laughing.
Miss blue thinks she's "fat" and throws a fit.
Mr/Ms green walks over to see what's wrong.
Blue explains.
Green says something along the lines of "you're not fat etc.".
They hug.
Green gives blue another ice cream cone.

Got it?

Since emoticons are essentially heads, I tried to make the pink and yellow girls skull shaped, with sunken cheeks.
I also tried to make them as feminine as possibly. They have stereotypical feminine colours and are very pale, which to me, represents fragility and makes the look "dainty", not too mention sickly.
Blue is blue because blue is a favoured colour (among girl AND boys) and the idea is for you to relate to her and feel sorry for her.
Green is genderless. He/she could be a love interest or a friend depending on who you are.

Been a while, hope you like it!

You don't often see emoticons with a moral. Or skinny ones, for that matter. Emoticons Are Round by ~NaturallyPerfect has them both, plus great coloring, animation and an awesome loop. (Suggested by `DragonWinter and Featured by `livius)

I got it without the explanation, you did really well in expressing that. Speaking of which, that has GOT to be really difficult in making emotes. :clap:

This was an instant :+fav: of course. :D

I like emotes because they're so simple, just heads with smiles. But I admit, some emotions are hard to make.
