The Losses of 2009

Finally.
I've been trying to finish this thing for the last 4+ hours. But people wanted to talk to me this evening, of all times... Not that I terribly mind it, but it does get agitating when something you want done is hanging over you and you can't seem to break away. =_='"

ANYWAY

Another entry for the 2009 contest in #EmoticonOpus
This one is portraying the loss of both Emote GMs in 2009; first `Synfull gave up her hat due to stress issues (), then `CookiemagiK lost his to teh llamas due to his move to San Diego for schoolwork (), thus turning them both into seniors.
I attempted to turn (a) sad event(s) into something fairly humorous, kind of as a tribute to their awesomeness.
I requested the use of Dr. Specz from `CookiemagiK. I used my own shading, with his colors.
I used `Synfull's Syn base.
If either of you two have ANY problem whatsoever with this deviation, please let me know immediately and I will remove it. Still, I hope you two like it

Purple emote belongs entirely to me.
