Made a video again :P...another fake Parashi Opening: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SGa8pPlOxuQ
It's really choppy and suuuuuper scribbly because I took like 30 seconds to draw each frame. Please fill in the gaps and gloss over the art with your wonderful imagination! I made it in Windows Movie Maker which is an absolutely evil program =o=
I'll try to fix up the ugly pictures and maybe add some color when I have time, and reupload another version later :b (don't know when though.) For now feel free to watch this one and laugh at it huhuhu

I'm leaving the details to your imagination, but here are some things I really like:
-White base color with black and red markings<33 (mostly on canines)

The Echo chamber dilemmaThe promise of the Internet was that unlimited information and experiences would draw us together. But instead it seems to have driven us apart.
For years I've observed this behavior but haven't been able to vocalize it correctly. Originally I called the behavior of collective opinions as "the hive mentality" of the Internet. But that wasn't exactly right and I often got called out on it. The most prominent example was when I made a comic about a guy disagreeing with opinions and being shouted at till he remained quiet, eventually fading into the background with everyone else. The consensus of that comic was that if you disagree with someone you aren't bullied into not speaking, but instead are free to go someplace else where people who do agree with you exist. And you know what? That wasn't what i was trying to convey, but is sadly true. The Internet is not a hive mind. It's many tiny pocket echo chambers of mutual agreements.
And this is becoming a growing problem, I think, because n

Callibrate your Wacom tutorialHad you finally made the transition from intuos 3 to intuos 4?, or Are you rich to change into an intuos 5? Had you made the transition from a first generation cintiq to the new ones?. More levels of pressure will mean more quality to the paintings, am i right?.
Did you thought that by default the pen will it be like using butter on bread?, you try it for the first time and you love all of it, you said i have sooooooo much control on my strokes im having a blast. Then only to realize you only have total control of the brush but when you are moving it really slow?. But when you do quick strokes the pressure drops a lot of paint making you redraw tons of stuff?
Did you ever thought that painter its hard to handle with new tablet? Too much pressure? If it has more pressure why i cant control more easier the beggining of the stroke which is more crucial?.
Have you ever open the customize option in wacom settings, only to feel dumb and no

Hello new emoticonists of deviantART!

Mon Jul 5, 2010, 10:08 PM

And Live in harmony harmony ohh love

HAI!

Have you just started making emoticons? Or are you new to dA and like looking at tiny balls with faces that do funny things?

Then you have come to the right place! This journal is all about getting you started on that long and awesome road to emoticon making/watching/spamming! So keep reading if you are interested!

_{Those of you who are not interested at all in this kind of stuff can watch this:
[link] (highly awesome dance tutorial)}

Tutorials and resources!

So... where to get started?

Some people already know how to make complex animations when they start making emotes while others don't have a clue where to even start looking.

But don't worry. There are tons of tutorials here on dA to fit all skill levels. A great place to start looking is here: #Emotication This group has a long list of tutorials for a long range of different programs. It also has links to necessary programs, resources, links to other emote groups, projects, contests and basically everything you need to get started and keep going!

_{Here are some good ones. But if they look too easy or too complicated then just look around here: [link] until you find something right for you}

Ideas, motivation and fun!

Once you've made a few emotes and gotten comfortable with it you might want to try entering some projects to try and make something together with others. Or you might want to defeat your enemies in epic battles!

You can find a lot of awesome projects that are still open at #Emoticon-Projects, and for epic contests and other fun stuff you can join #EmoticonOpus and #Emoticiety ^___^
Or if you are just looking for some more ideas to create emotes around then check out #SuggestAnEmote

_{Here are a few open projects! Go dazzle them with your entries!

and... it looks like ~Aurawra will be holding a contest soon!}

Community!

Find out what's happening in the community and get involved. The easiest way to do this is to get to know your fellow emoticonists, share your knowledge and learn from them... and poke them!

You can do all that in WeEmote which is the main chatroom of the emoticon gallery. Go there and say hi!

This is a great place to hang out for both emoticonists and emote users, even though it gets quiet there most of the time you can be sure that you will meet some nice, cheerful and helpful and/or scary people there!

Also, you might want to add the gallery moderator of the emoticon gallery to your devwatch. `mintyy, she's someone you can go to if you have questions about the gallery, community or emoticons in general. Other important people who I think do a lot in the community are `Synfull and `Krissi001. So whether you are an emoticonist or just like finding and using new emotes, these people will bring a lot of news, events and awesomeness your way!

Uhm.... what else?

Well there are still a lot of things to see and do... but if I try explaining them all then we will end up with a really, really long journal!

So I will put the rest in bullets!

[link] (So I herd U liek emotes??) , a weekly news article by `Synfull featuring some outstanding emotes!

#Pack-it-in, a group where you can find most of the emote packs on dA, and also get your own pack featured!

#dAmn-Emotes, a group for chat based emoticons!

Don't forget to check the [link] (Daily Deviation page) to see if there are any emotes there! You can also suggest an emote to `mintyy if you feel that it should recieve a DD.
_{FAQ #61: What is a Daily Deviation?
[link] (Monthly DD Summary)}

[link] (Emotional Emoticons), a news article featuring emotes of certain themes.

Here's a brand new emote project! Go check it out.

If you have any questions ot need some help or tips with your emote making then feel free to send me a note or leave a comment. I would love to help you out any time.

That's all I can think of right now

But after some time here, I'm sure you will find a lot more than what I have mentioned above. So I hope this journal has been helpful for some of you new emoticonists out there. Feel free to spread this around if you think it migth help someone you know!

and now...

here are (in my opinion) some of the most awesome emotes on dA:

:thumb110848728:

:thumb110975566:

There are many more! Go look for them! ...or make something better

_{Thanks for reading, and good luck!}

_{_{oh and please the news article so that more people will be able to find this: [link]}}

nope it's just that one

~test-acc2 Sep 12, 2010

Please excuse this failure, but how do you use emotes that are deviations? ;A;

`CookiemagiK Sep 25, 2010 Hobbyist Digital Artist

You can only use them in chat rooms ^^ You do this by either using their thumbcode or using a script (search for "superdAmn" )
If you want to use them outside of chatrooms then you can only do that if someone has made a plz account for them.
Since I'm answering pretty late I assume that you have already figured out something by now xD But if you need more help then just let me know ^^

~DorifutoRabbit Aug 22, 2010 Professional General Artist

I've only recently dared to try making emotes, and the links here are really helpful! I've already tried the Desert Island Project, and I'll have to look at the other tuts to make myself even better!
