Happy Birthday Fella :D

Edit: Thank you everyone who ed, everyone who commented, everyone who suggested this as a DD, and thank you ^mintyy for featuring it!


My birthday present for Fella: juggling nine happy deviants in the air ^_^

This emote nearly murdered me. If there was an easier way to animate each individual flying emote, then I don't know it. But I am open to critique hehe. I thought about nixing the ^^ eyes, instead going with happy mouths, but decided I'll start using mouths on an animation that isn't already giving me a stroke.

Factoid: I realized that I was short one color, and I wanted them to be distinct from each other. I didn't want to have a black or white emote, so instead I went with a brown one, which became labelled "chocolate" in the layers palatte.
