Featured Emoticons

1.
Double bounce by Krissi001 is a fabulous emote with loads going on and flawless animation. Its hard to peel your eyes away once you’ve watched it a few times.

2.
The only safe place ... by Katuend is an adorable mix of pixel art and emotes. The colours all work well together to make an eye catching design and a ‘dark feeling’ to the scene.

3.
There’s just something about Shoemotes my horber95 which has an awesome feel about it. The shoe has been really nicely designed and the animation of the emotes is simple but effective.

4.
I always love to see special effects in an emote and Mirror Mote by Xelioth is packed full of them. The whole animation from start to finish is nicely planned with a great range of motion and things to watch.

5.
The combination of awesome reflection effect and really cute bounce animation makes Broken Mirror by yarjor an emote worth checking out. Be sure to full view.
