First Giant Emote! Started it a few days ago and today I realised it was the 40th anniversary of the Moon landing, so what great timing! though I had to do most of it today to get it up on time Not only good timing, but good colour-count luck too, after I finished I realised it has 69 colours...wich has relavence to the fact that Neil Armstrong and an Under-appreciated Buzz Aldrin both set foot on the Lunar surface in 1969

All my watchers know I love space and anything to do with it, and I've occasionally seen the Earth represented in Emoticon format from various artists too, so here's mine! if you want to get scientific, you could even say the arm represents gravity and poor li'l Moon is trying to escape

This is also my entry to the Big emote contest held by =TheRockster and ~SuperSmiley Not sure if it's winning material, but overall I'm happy with this, given the fact I used no templates or tutorials and that this is my second proper emoticon attempt I am worried the motion might be too slow, but that's proably because I'm using Internet Explorer - I'm sure FireFox users will see it as I intended, besides - given their colossal size and distance, that's still a damn fast movement

Happy "fortieth anniversary of the landing on the moon day" day

EDIT: I got like - 50 comments saying it was too slow, it now should be moving twice as fast with half as many frames. Also added a blue backlight on the moon itself.
