Description
This is an emote that I started working on sometime last month, but never really got anywhere with it. I decided to sit down yesterday morning and finish this baby up, and I've now spent about 12 or so hours in total working on this.The main idea sprouted from a conversation I had with ^Synfull a while ago. I wanted to make a traditional "Power-emote", like a few I've made before, complete with a spin on the global destruction that I thought of. Well, I asked her to suggest a theme that should be "Power-ized", and she suggested a very powerful dealing with miscats, or improperly categorized submissions. And that's what I did.
This is in a sense also an homage to some of my favorite emoticonists and their work here on DA, as I hope you might be able to see. These are provided to the viewer as the "correctly categorized emoticons" that you see before the last one.
The emoticonists and their works that are represented here are as follows:
1) `CookiemagiK - Super mario emote bros
2) `Droneguard - Massive emote bump
3) =MixedMilkChOcOlate - DreamArt
It is also partly in recognition of `Droneguard s Super fart , as it was really the main source of inspiration for the global destruction idea.
The powering-up animation is inspired by the sandwich-eating-animation in Castle Crashers.
And last, but not least, the little alien on Mars? Yes, definitely a reference to our beloved Jark.
I've poured a lot of time, effort and love into this little beast, and I really hope you all enjoy it.
Was the wait worth it?

You'll have to excuse the little copyright tag in the lower right corner, just don't want anyone stealing this particular emoticon...

There are quite a few things about this piece which I absolutely love, and several things about this piece that are just awesome in a very subtle way.
My favorite thing of all is the transformation of the moderator into the super-monster-moderator, which looks like something straight out of Castle Crashers. Whether that was the intention, or perhaps the inspiration, it is still very awesome. The way the screen-shakes during those frames is also very well done.
Something that may go unnoticed is the subtle nod to `CookiemagiK 's Super mario emote bros at the start of this production, which I thought was very nice. The last deviation which sets the moderator off, the webcam pic, was also a nice touch, especially looking at the deviant standing next to the picture with that fantastically blank look on their face.
The shift to Mars was great as we see the return of °jark , and finally get some answers as to his whereabouts. It turns out he spends his days on Mars blasting overzealous moderators with lasers.

Actually, I think it was the deviant who submitted the miscat who got blasted, not the moderator.

Thank you for the critique, and yes, all the mentioned nods in different directions were very intentional.

Yes, I'm aware that this is around a month late. Regardless, I felt this piece was too good to avoid leaving a critique of my own.
When you watch something, an animation such as this, and laugh, you know that it's got something humorous about it. When you are able to watch something such as this multiple times and still laugh, you know you've got a masterpiece. Even now, as I write this, I pause every few seconds to watch the animation above my text; even now it's making me smile.
Vision is obviously an easy five out of five - the pure brilliance that can be seen through the excellent shading and replication of certain things. Even the deviantART page that has been done is beautiful, and the mini versions of every emote is lovely and looking the same compared to the real versions. One of my favourite parts of this is where the 'Castle Crashes-like' emote happens, the way it's done is just pure excellence. Another brilliant part that always makes me smile is where the silver guy falls onto Mars and his expression.
Originality nabs a four and a half, but that's only because of the hits at certain things, like the Castle Crashers moment. That's the only half mark, and I would give this five if I wasn't trying to be fairer with my scores.
Technique also obviously nabs a second five - the beauty of your style is just perfect, making me want to scan every single frame multiple times for each little aspect that I didn't notice before. You obviously have a brilliant talent.
Impact nabs you a final five - as said above, if you can watch something multiple times and enjoy it over and over again (what am I on now - the fiftieth time?) it's obviously a masterpiece.
So, I take off my hat (I don't have a hat. ._.) to you and your excellent piece right here.

First of all congreatulations for another great emote, you really impressed me with this one e.deviantart.net/emoticons/n/n… " width="15" height="15" alt="
The part that most impressed me was when he was going to explote and when the earth exploted, you made a very good explotion there e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/b… " width="15" height="15" alt="
5 points of impact becouse i dont use to see this kind of emotes, they are really hard to make but you did it even knowing how hard could it be, and the way made all the things here impressed me
5 points of vision becouse it looks very good, in all the ways you see it looks amazing.
4 points for originality cause i've seen somewhere the earth exploting, but the general idea is original that's why I give you four points.
4 1/2 points of technique i dont have to much to say here, it's just great
That's all what I have to say, in general it looks amazing, congratulations e.deviantart.net/emoticons/c/c… " width="20" height="20" alt="

Only two things should be written on this design, impressive and fun, the animation is simply excellent as all that leoleonardo has done, the view is excellent deviantart, it appears the same site, the effects, everything is simply phenomenal and spectacular, the combinations of color palettes and environments give the sample of the high level of leoleonardo as an entertainer and would undoubtedly make this movie almost perfect. Excellent vision, great originality, technique, impact, everything is simply ... excellent, a design worthy of an instant favorite. This type of finish that is only 15 words to fill that need, but to criticize this design, as I said, it only takes two words, fun and impressive.
