Animation Competition!
December 21 to January 1
Rules:
-A sprite is supplied for competitors to animate according to a given theme.
-The host of the competition decides on the winner.
-The winner must host the next competition.
-Each competition lasts for 11 days.
This round's theme is:
Emoticons!
And here's the sprite:
We all know those little faces that give emotion to text messages. Well I want to see some!
I want you to animate the sprite to in some way display an emotion (or even a range of emotions). You are allowed to animate it in any way as long as you feel that it in some way conforms to the theme. For example, instead of showing it simply frowning you could have it bludgeoning another smiley with some sort of blunt object! Or you could do something slightly less violent :
. You get the idea.
The sprite might seem somewhat limiting as to its animatability (is that a word?), but I hope this won't be a constraint to your creativity. You are also allowed to add things such as hands, eyebrows or props etc.
Now get animating!
