Shimeji: America-San

EDIT 02/08/12: Someone has graciously re-uploaded most of my shimejis, so I have now fixed the ZIP link for the English version. Sadly, the Japanese version is still broken. My deepest apologies, but this is the best I can do for the moment.

IMPORTANT: If ANYONE asks me for a request, I will find them, and shoot their dog. I have a list in my journals as to what I plan to make. I will not add anything to this list until I finish. If you ask for one, I will hurt you. Very, very slowly and painfully.

Also, IF YOU HAVE AN ISSUE, PLEASE DO NOT TELL ME ABOUT IT, AND ASK FOR HELP. There are several good FAQs on the Groups that will help you.

I am sick of answering the same question 20 times over. Please don't ask. I will not answer.

Following the crazy trend, I jumped on the shimeji bandwagon, and made yet another Shimeji~! This time: America~!

Shimejis are useless computer mascot programs! They look cute, throw things around on your computer, multiply, and generally annoy you while being utterly adorable at the same time. I love them~!

I used !crazy-chibi's England as a base model~!

America took me just about two months to finish, working on and off on it. By this point, I had done three shimeji sets, and was starting to get burned out. Because of the way I started and stopped, the style tends to change, as I found working at double size, then re-sizing afterward to be the best way to go.

This was also the first one I did using shimeji-ee. In the beta testing, I found some computers absolutely would not run it, so I have made a separate one in the old, original shimeji format.

This one is also special, because he blinks while standing around, and instead of 'eating', he enjoys a little AmeCan.

I used this tutorial for the blinking animation: [link]

and this shimeji as a base for the AmeCan sections: [link]

This America:

-Climbs walls and ceiling
-Sits and stares off into space
-Lays around in a lazy daze
-Enjoys his brother lover~!
-Serches for food?
-Is beside himself
-And IS A HERO~!

By right-clicking one of the Americas, you can call up the "Bye-Bye~!" command. By right clicking the flag icon in the 'Hidden Icons' menu, you can call up this list:

1. Add 1 more
2. Come Here! (Follows the mouse)
3. Leave Just One
4. Get Back the IE (get your windows back if the shimeji has thrown them offscreen. This also works if they throw your MSN window away.)
5. Bye Bye!

Credit goes to Group-Finity for the original! ( [link] )

NOW THE PART YOU'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR:

How to install it:

Click here (or the download button up at the top of the page, beside the preview pic) for the ZIP of the shimeji-ee version: [link]

RAR: [link]

Regular Shimeji Version (Japanese)

ZIP: [link]

RAR: [link]

The only difference between the Shimeji-ee version and the old version is that the Shimeji-ee version is in english, and has an extra blinking animation when he stands still. The original does not have this.

WINZip should work just fine for extracting this little puppy~!

More coming in the future~!

This one is for !RegencyMothball, who is the reason I pushed myself to finish this, and why it has AmeCan in it. xD
