Description
Alright. I think it's about time that I create something useful.
A lot of people have contacted me with notes, comments, etc. asking if I had a tutorial or if I could teach them.
So, here's a tutorial.
That is what I do when making an emote...step by step.
I use Adobe Photoshop, but you could probably do this in more graphical design applications.
It probably only takes 2-3 minutes for me...but the tutorial took a couple hours to put together.
Hopefully you guys will get some use out of this.
Stay tuned for Part 2: Simple Animation.
If you use it, please note me the link to your deviation. I'd love to see what you make with this.

i dont do the shading on mine like that..i hink my way of shading is very different from everyone elses...
and Tom's right Matt...there is a colour overlaying the black...to get rid of this just remove the anti aliasing from the gradient fill

Nice work Matt.
One thing, when you do the shading, have you noticed the slight extra colour overlapping the black?
And another, I had one in the making!

It's easily fixable--you can just put the black outline over the gradient or just use the eraser tool.
Thanks for the comment dude.
