Reading Transports You

Edit 5.15.11 I discovered that my emote was one pixel too thin........ xDD


Oh, hey, look at that. I'm late again for =SparklyDest's April EMTC. Terrible procrastinator! NEVER ACT LIKE ME! xDD

Anyhoo, this is for the theme "Hobbies." One of my hobbies is reading! I know, I'm a daredevil, aren't I? :'D The objective of this emote was to convey the fact that reading can transport you to all different kinds of places! I think fewer and fewer people are reading books nowadays (people in my class cringe at the thought), but I think there's no replacement for a good book. c: Especially old-book smell.

I spent this whole month thinking about elaborate animations I could do, when I realized that simplicity might be key.

Time taken: ~4-5 hours
Program: Photoshop CS3
Layers: A lot less than I usually use. xD
Feelings: I love it!


I have more art, but I'm against inbox pillage.

PS: Is it bad that I consider dA's background color of its pages when I am choosing colors for my emotes? :c I think I should just pick generally visible colors, not ones that go well here.

Thanks!
