Description
Firstly let me start by saying this is almost identical to :bounceme: by none other then myself. However, when mucking around I saw that the emote looked pretty cool without hands, a lot more like
, and I thought why not submit another version!Hope you like, and for some reason I really do love this emote!

I apoligize for sounding highly unprofessional, but due to my lack of research and being in the dark when it comes to emoticons, I have no idea, how you can make these... is it a sort of downloadable file that allows you to make them? Sigh... unprofessionalism makes my brain hurt. Please help me.

There are a number of different programs that allow you to make animated .gif's , some of these include Adobe ImageReady and Macromedia Firefox. There are many others, however these two tend to stand out among the others.
From there, you simply draw your pictures on a canvas and begin to animate!

I'm not sure which I prefer: this one or the one with hands. Undoubtfully, they're both grand to look at. But .. I'm a conserver of space for the most part in terms of emotes, so I would prefer this one over the other because they both pretty much say "I'm bouncing!".

Solid bouncing, nice colour, it's a believable bounce, good work

Well, I use Adobe ImageReady but there are a number of programs that you can make them with. There are some good Tutorials on deviantART as well!

Once again =zacthetoad , you have outdone yourself with this emoticon. It is smooth moving, entertaining to watch, and most of all, green, my favorite color.
As I have already said, the animation in it is smooth, you can tell exactly what is going on, and the squashing of him when he lands and takes off again works wonders with the emoticon. The movement of the eyes and the mouth are great as well, though I do have this unsettling feeling when he lands and his eyes and mouth are all of a sudden bellow him. It must just be me on that. I can understand that when he lands and takes off again that his face would be thrust downwards, but it just seems kind of choppy to me.
Other then that small detail, I like how it moves. The shading within this emoticon is top notch, something you have always been good at doing.
Other then that, there is not that much I can think up to talk about. On an overall standard, I rate this one as one of your best thus far. Notice how I said one, not the.

I like the new Avatar. It follows the format as your :bouncing:, but too me still has that one thing that is unsettling. Oh well.

Hahaha, you have found the one thing that I did not like about this emote! I remember the first time I put it up on dA, looking at exactly what you have pointed out and saying to myself - that looks wrong. The thing is, I don't know why. My idea here was for it to land, and the force of it suddenly changing direction causes the rest of the face to thrust straight down to the ground. You're 100% right though, it is a little jumpy. I have tried to fix this problem numerous times, and had no luck, but everytime I see it it bugs me and is slowly eating away at me 
Hehehe, it seems great minds think alike
Thanks also for the excellent comment and great critique!

Excellent movement. The blank expression along with the slow, methodical pace gives it an entirely different feel from the excited, happy bounces. It's like bouncing is his job and he's just resigned to spending the rest of his days doing it. Great work, zachthetoad.

This is great.
The other one looks more like he's jumping or something, where this one looks really bouncy!

Wish I could actually see it! Not a single animation of any type will work in firefox atm!

Must be your PC or something, works for me

No its definately not my PC, not with over 1.5GB of ram, 300 GB's of Hardrives and AMD Athlon 64+ Processor.
Its more likely that firefox has pulled a spaz and just needs reinstalling

I love this version!

Ohh! That's a nice one, I like the shiny green colour and the way that it slightly changes shape when making contact with the ground. Such a serious little emoticon ball... But I'm liking it!
