Then
AND THEN THE ICON SET ATE MY LIFE. @___@ Seriously, this set of 16 (I couldn't decide which one to leave out of the 15) took me half the month, from April 14 to April 27. Scaryyy.
Of course, it took me so long because I experimented A LOT with different styles of layers, and got some pretty awesome results. I'm very pleased with how this set turned out.
I also got seriously into the mentality of "each icon is a unique miniature masterpiece," so no two icons have quite the same style. (This is also why Yuuen's hair and eye color are not at all consistent. I'm not drawing an anime where a character "IS" a certain way and has to be colored accordingly; I'm creating 100x100 expressions of emotion, and color is a tool to help convey the emotions. ...Yes, yes, TMI about my artistic process, I know...XD)
Samples:
1. Afraid (can also be used as Shocked, Horrified, etc.):
2. Angry:
3. Blushing/Embarrassed:
4. Bored/Aimless:
(this one took SO much time...>___<)
5. Crying:
6. Sad/Downcast:
7. Enthralled/Awed/In Love:
8. Neutral (lots of versions; I couldn't pick):
9. Happy:
10. Serious/Determined:
11. Shy (2 versions):
12. Sleepy/Tired:
13. Startled/Wide-Eyed (2 versions):
(okay, the emotion in this one isn't as strong/obvious as I'd like, but it came out so pretty that I had to include it...^_^;;;)
14. Wistful/Contemplative:
15. Puzzled/Curious/"WTF?" (2 versions):
16. Horny :P (or, "Madness? THIS...IS...YAOIII!!!")
Please comment and credit if you take them. :)
And even if you're not taking them, comments are still LOVED. ^___^

They HAVE to be Emba alone. You are NOT limited to 15 icons this time but they have to be different emotions. You may decided what they are. Coloring, effects or the general presentation of the icon is up to you as well, like before. Oh, and if you've already made icons or some icons and would like to use them again that's perfectly fine, again.
*teehee*

In other words, sure! It'll probably take me another month, hehe...but I'll work on it!
Have the Yuuen icons been useful?
