Hi there! As you may know, I'm creating a new project called "Downy Days and Other November Noddies", which is basically dedicated to tips and ideas on how to cheer up and relax when you're stressed out. I was actually drawing just a normal vector drawing for that project, until I figured I might as well make a blockshade! So I started creating one! I actually planned on only using the artwork for the November Noddy project, but when I finished, I was so giddy to share it I decided to publish a separate project, just for this blockshade! I'm super proud! *beams* XD I used @Glitter15 's amazing tutorial. I really had no idea what a blockshade was before, let alone how to do it! Honestly, I was almost ready to give up around the middle! I was actually as sad as the emoji! But I preserved, and here it is! You'll be seeing this blockshade again when "Downy Days and Other November Noddies" comes out XD This blockshade is based on a gmail emoji ; the sad faced one - lots of people use it. This is made completely by me :D But the idea and shape come from, well, of course, the Google emoji. It took a lot of time to make (around, 2-3 hours), and I spent ages on this, so I'd appreciate it if you went ahead and left a comment for me, or a love and fave ;) I always reply! >> Music from @kendy4ever << >> All art and coding by me! @Moon_River12014 << >> Inspiration for the emoji.. Google! @Google! << -- How has your day been going? Mine hasn't been too great, which is actually the reason why my blockshade wasn't a butterfly or a noodle or something, and is instead a sad emoji. :( And it's also the reason why I'm making a project about cheering yourself up and relaxation - partly for all of you guys, and partly for myself! Well, first of all, I was working in our chocolate shop this morning when a sinister-looking guy came in. He looked really.. um, bad! I shot him a few glares and then continued sorting the money in the cash register. After a few minutes, he came up to the counter (where I was standing), and without saying anything, he pulled his hat down low over his face, reached over, and flipped my whole cash tray down! There was an enormous clatter, where I screamed and the money all just rained down. The other customers all gasped in shock, and my second youngest sister ran in, shouting my name. She had been on the curb playing with her yoyo. "I'm fine." I said, and I looked around for the man.. but he was gone! He had just been here a minute ago! Then, I looked down at the floor again and several dollars were missing! I know, because I was just sorting them. It took me little time to figure out where it had all gone. THE MAN JUST ROBBED OUR HARD-EARNED MONEY! And the worst bit is, today my Mum had promised to take us all Halloween shopping, except we can't because of that man and now we won't be able to.. We need to save up some more.. :'( I feel so sad writing this, so hopefully the rest of today will be enjoyable and hopefully that man won't come back! -- If you read ALL the way down here, comment, "IDIOT MAN DUDE!"
