Artist's Comments

Originally I just wanted to have an emote playing the flute, since I also play it (and yes, I'm a guy, so no need to go check my page for my gender again :P). I soon remember that you play the flute using your fingers vs. your hands, and ran into an animation problem: Emote guys have.no.fingers. Eventually this popped out of my head. Took several days; partially because I'm lazy and partially because a lot of animation needed to be smoothed out. I'm still not perfectly happy with it, but I'm hoping someone else's input will help me fix this up better. Enjoy!

*Edit*
I cleaned up the slowing of the waving arms, as well as added some motion lines to both emotes waving arms that way it wasn't just the hands switching sizes.

I like it, though the slowing of the arms as the little guy calms down is kinda odd...doesn't look quite right...perhaps it is the three circles for the hands that just don't seem to fit for the slower movement.

I think it looks quite smooth actually, I love the motions lines when the hands start flailing, great touch! :D

Thanks! Fixing the flailing motions really smoothed out the animation. :D
