_//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!

Two words, fucking sweet!

I was thinking of having a go at making a smoke emote, not too sure after seeing this.

Excellent work, Tom.

I love the way you have yet again put a hell of a lot of detail into it

i like the way his cheeks bulge when he is taking a draw of the fag...and how they inflate when he is blowing out and his mouth extends
it is also very cool the way you have made the smoke rings come apart
i also would never have bothered making the fag glow different shades of red when it is being sucked...but it is a nifty little touch that i think only u could be bothered doing:D
it is also cool the colour u have got the smoke..it looks godd with the various tints n shades...but its a little too white IMO...but thats just imo..it should be slightly greyer when the big balls of smoke come out and the rings too.

(one of meh bigger comments :P)

*laughs* nice emote tom =) I am against smoking, but the emote is nicelay done *g* I like how much facial expressions you captured under this topic "smoking"
two things I noticed though...first, he is lifting his eyebrow quite high. looks a little weird, but I think it's ok, because otherwise the viewer might not really notice it at all. but the second thing is more important to me...when the eyebrow is lift he first looks to the right again (and moves the eye therefore) and then has the eyebrow going down again...which looks quite unrealistic I think. you could of course say that it is his pupil only, yet, I am just trying it out myself....we usually have the eyebrown go down first and then look elsewhere... or at least do it at the same time.
