_//Smoking
_//Fullview Required:
Must be seen on dA green background
_//Request done for *cloude

I'm pretty happy I got this one done, the minute animations in this one were frustrating to get around. It was done for Nathan, as he suggested it one afternoon.

_//Description:

This is just a dude having a relieving cigarette. Hence his expression to start off with. He takes a puff, holding it in for a bit, then blowing out, the smoke coming out in a small cloud. He realises someones watching, so he raises his eyebrow to suggest "What? You want something? Watch this." He then takes another puff, and blows out some very fine little smoke rings. He smirks at the viewer, content with his ability, before gently tapping off excess ash before going back to his smoke.

_//Credit and thanks:

Firstly, the idea was Nathans. So go give him some love.

Secondly, cheers to *Skewerd, * SinOfDreams, *dreamheaven and *penrino for little pointers along the way. Chris, I couldn't get the smoke to look the way you wanted, so I've left it as it is for the time being until I come up with a good way to do it.


I enjoyed this one. I hope you do too.

Comments n critique greatly appreciated.

Tom :)

You know, it's not all often that you see an emoticon put up here (in fact, is there any?), but these little wonders of animation and execution (their symbolism, that is) should not be overlooked. Take for example Smoking Emote by *budgieishere: clearly tons of work went into this tiny masterpiece to make it look as smooth as it is. Smoke your life away (but not too quickly!), little buddy!

You know, Mrs. Buchman, you need a license to buy a dog, to drive a car - hell, you even need a license to catch a fish. But they'll let any butt-reaming asshole be a father.

You've captured all the nuances of smoking. It amazes me everytime I see a new emote from you and this is no exception. Even got some smoke play in there. The cigarette is most amazing since it has a filter and lights up. I don't know how you do it but I sure am glad you do. Well done.
