September ECC: Leaves OVER

The contest has ended, results will be announced soon.

Hi guys this is the first in my new series of emoticon contests! (inspired by SparklyDest's EMTC which is on hiatus this month)
The ECC stands for the Emote Character Challenge Based on the ECs that emoticonists often use on dA.
For resources on creating an EC see This tutorial
What differs this contest from others like TheEMTC and EmoticonOpus Is that the ECC will require you to use an EC (or emote character) and each month will not only come with a new theme, but 1 or more challenges as well.

September theme:

Deadline:

Rules:
Your entry must incorporate the theme and challenge shown above.
Your entry must follow deviantArt's Terms of service.
You must use an EC, a character who is named, and distinguishable.

No collaborations this month, but you may use resources from other emoticonists such as EC bases provided you have permission and credit the original artist.
