Emojis for My iPhone

[Acorn]

Acorn,
Ol’ buddy!
I just stretch, skew, rotate, shrink and grow objects/shapes.
When I get back to my computer I’ll upload a file with which everyone can/may fiddle.
I’m sure many will be able to do much better!

Thanks Ron, I was asking, it is all Xara? Is it Animations. Do you have a picture bank of faces, eyes, ears, etc.

I was interested in your design method.

Ok,
I have a Xara file on which I have numerous emoji images that I have already drawn. From those emojis I will grab one and paste it into the first frame of the new ani.

From there I will adjust/tweak the face to the desired expression and begin from there, tweaking the facial expressions as needed.

The rest is adjusting the speed of each frame to try and get the right flow of movement.

(credit Boy for adding the "eye black" under the player's eyes)

Ron, very kind of you to share. Your work is even more impressive considering the detail you go to.

Tough looking dude, Ron!

Thanks, Boy.
He does look better with the eye black.

I had to re-work this gif multiple times to get the facial features and movements in sync.

Love the Oh, Yeah eyes Ron

And the door slamming. Great sequence, Ron. Perhaps a bit slow in the second half?
