By now, you've probably heard of or met Topper the elusive penguin that you can click to make yours FOREVER! Topper loves snow and is easier to find as the month of December goes on. Don't fret if you haven't found them yet.
Thing is, Topper could use help expressing themselves and I have very limited free time to help them. Do you have a great idea for an emote/action or even better the pixel art and animation skills to create one?! Please share! If it makes sense and follows the guidelines below, maybe Topper will feel even more lifelike because of you.
Topper power:
Topper is coded to move around and they "decide" what to do next. Any horizontal or vertical movement greater than the 64x64 bounds of the file format is accomplished dynamically with code. They know their speed, travel distance and decide how long they'll rest for or emote / perform special actions.
Some "emotes" & "actions" are 100% code, such as looking around and changing directions. If your animation needs coded instructions or special conditions, describe them. Example: If Topper is next to avatar, chance to turn around and wave at avatar. I'd consider custom code, depending on complexity / awesomeness / available time.
Submission Requirements:
Format: .png or .gif
Dimensions: 64x64
Gif Only: Make it loop. (code will control duration of play / show for X # of loops)
Duration: Try to keep animations short < 3 seconds but it's not a requirement.
No Submission Deadline? There's no submission deadline because Topper will be available to everyone that finds them forever... basically if someone takes the time to create a fun emote, it could be June, and I'd consider adding it. Ideally, we'll add them this month though! :)
Where to submit?
Post as a reply to this thread. If you post an idea, others including myself, may pick up the idea and bring it to life. If you post actual png,gif and it's loved, there's a much higher chance it will be added.
How to get started:
The first two static png's below are excellent starter templates for potentially creating your own emotes / actions.

So... I made some things for Topper:
Jumpin' For Joy: An emote made to show that Topper is super excited for the Holidays (or any other occasion) to come around!
Slippin' and Sliding: A basic sliding movement for Topper. Nothing special.
As someone who's made Shimejis and gifs in the past, I decided to contribute my fair share of talent into the mix. When making these, I decided to stay true to Topper's character and incorporate some basic spriting techniques as well. I hope you guys enjoy them! :D
PS: This is probably the most ingenious way of getting the community involved with customizing Topper, even if they have no giffing talent whatsoever, so I applaud you for making this forum in the first place!

Welp, it looks like I'm back to give Topper more emotions for the holidays! Tell me what you think of these:
Noot Noot: "Noot Noot!" (Inspired by laurEEN's comment on this forum.)
Talking Topper (Side and Front Profiles): What could Topper be possibly saying to us...?
Now That's Shady! (Side and Front Profiles): Topper thinks this site is just too cool! (These can be used freely as templates if anyone wants to make any Topper emotions with shades.)
Winky Wink: Topper winks to the PMC user who is currently on this site. Hello!
Welp, that's all I have to give to Topper for now, and until I feel the need to make more of these, I wish you guys a merry Boxing Kwanstika (Boxing Day, Kwanzaa, Christmas, and Hanukkah) and a spectacular new year! :D

Though that single pixel to the very right at the end of the animation loop isn't suppose to be there. My apng > .gif converter adds that in for some weird reason. I checked a dozen times and it isn't in my source frames. If that could be taken out that'd be perfect!

Sleepy Topper :D

Maybe this is a bit better?

Cannonball!!!

the bubbles is excellent

I just added your blows bubbles and kisses emotes!
Your cannonball one is great but I'm not sure what to do with Topper once they dive into the water... where do they go from there, how long and how do they come back? :) I think it would need another animation where they jump back up and out of the water so they can continue.

Topper but when you press the spacebar on your profile a jumping game starts like the T-rex on on Google Chrome when the internet is down. :P

This looks amazing on the right background!

this is something i cobbled up in gimp in like 10 minutes
i'd say this isn't my best work but it actually is because i've never animated before lol
3
lmao i just found out it was hot cocoa and not him prying open a can of sardines
5
my actual intent was him writing something down on a notepad or some sorts but i guess its open for interpretation now

I thought it was writing in a notebook as well! Cyprezz It's not coco :o
