Description

:faint:
Well, I bet all of you have heard of the phrase "Falling in love ", this poor emote finds out the litteral meaning of it.
Maybe one of the emotes I was most determined to finish for some reason. I did try some stretch effects with the falling and a new way of walking :giggle:
Suprisingly, the pit is actually loads of mini-hearts put together, it took forever to get right :XD:
A total of 154 frames...and 311 files, my longest emote yet :lol:
This was more of a trail and error emote, I think it turned out pretty ok ^^'

Thanks for looking :heart:

I LOVE THIS <img class="avatar" src="a.deviantart.net/avatars/l/o/l…" alt=":iconlovely-plz:" title="lovely-plz"/>

Just so you know <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/let…" width="15" height="15" alt=":P" title=":P (Lick)"/>

Ok, now let's get the party started.

First off, to start with the basics. The animation is smooth, the shading of the emote is lovely, and the entire thing is simple, but well done. An overall great emote.

I love all the little attention to detail. The hearts are great, and the sploof when they come up is very nice. The stretching of the emote is perfectly done, and the little wobble of the hands adds to the effect of falling.

However, I do have some things to suggest.

<img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/b…" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletgreen:" title="Bullet; Green"/> The walking.
When he first starts walking out of the pit, it's really, really slow. And once the pit is out of the way, he suddenly picks up speed, really really fast. And I don't think he walks just quite long enough.

<img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/b…" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletgreen:" title="Bullet; Green"/> The hearts. Now I love what you did with the little hearts coming up, but it's not enough. There needs to be more coming up. I'm assuming those are like the little confetti hearts, no? There needs to be more of them, and they need to float down more slowly. I also think, he should stay in the pit a couple more miliseconds, just so we can get the full effect of what just happened.

<img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/b…" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletgreen:" title="Bullet; Green"/> The trap door. One, I think it should be a little bigger, and two, there is just something awkward about the arm waving. I think you used multiple frames for that instead of just two. It works best if there are only two frames for the arm waving part. (then it's obviously repeated <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/b…" width="15" height="15" alt=":B" title="Bucktooth"/>) like in <img class="avatar" src="a.deviantart.net/avatars/e/e/e…" alt=":iconeeeeeplz:" title="eeeeeplz"/> Get what I'm saying <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/n/n…" width="15" height="15" alt=":noes:" title="Noes!"/>

Overall, everything just needs to extend just a little more. He needs to fall just a little longer, he needs to walk a little longer, and he needs to stay in the pit just a little longer.

I do love this though. The idea is wonderful and it has wonderful execution and I love it <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/b…" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)"/>
