Wow, its so realistic it looks like a real life circle man in a pixelated world!
I like the way how you have a lot of technique, and you are like a.deviantart.net/avatars/m/e/m… " alt=" " title="MenInASuitcase" />. e.deviantart.net/emoticons/g/g… " width="17" height="15" alt="" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="100" title="Giggle"/> I mean like, this is perfect.
I mean like, 10 hours! WOW! Huh, if I had a nickle for every time this happened, heh heh. a.deviantart.net/avatars/t/e/t… " alt=" " title="teheplz" /> Man, this is awesome. Actually, on Summer Camp, we took a walk in the woods at night time, and we also tamed a bear, a wolf, and also the most dangerous: A rattle snake. We even tamed poison frogs, and didn't get posioned! e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s… " width="15" height="15" alt="" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="391" title=" (Smile)"/>
This is good.

Wow. This is amazing. I am speechless at how much thought and effort you put into this piece of art. The emote is perfect. It goes awesome with the other parts of the scene. The rain is amazing and one of the best I have seen. The Trees look like the were taken out of a forest and animated just to the right amount and then were put in this scene. They look as real as they get!. Then, there's the flashlight and the lightning which is amazing to look at. The Sky goes perfect with the Creepy faces that are awesome. Overall, I give this Five Stars. Great Job!

Very impressive animation, quite original and finely crafted. It captures the atmosphere of isolation in darkness very well, despite the cuteness factor of the emoticon.

The emoticon is great, use of bouncy movement gives a good sense of fear, as does the use of the demonic face with the synchronized lightning strikes, effective. The environment is a treat, the use of barren trees, a gloomy sky and long grass gives a impression of wilderness, while being foreboding as well.

The atmosphere isn't perfect, but I'm not sure what I could suggest to change. Regardless, a fine animation, very well done Web, keep it up.

I definately love this, its just like a rainy dark night, to be scared alone! I think its quite realistic, with the rain its good, the grass and everything looks fantastic! I've always wondered if some Deviantant would creat a Deviatation like this! Its just... fantastic, I disagree with anyone who doesn't like this. Some people make fantastic Deviantations! I love ones made with Adobe Photoshop! This is fantastic, please make more! I like to be impressed. Fantastic!

In other words, a.deviantart.net/avatars/m/o/m… " alt=" " title="MooNyPiNk"/>

Really nice little animation e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s… " width="15" height="15" alt="" title=" (Smile)"/>

I love the color palette and the overall atmosphere that it creates.

Everything is beautifully rendered, and it manages to tell us a story in only a couple of frames, which is amazing.

I love the flashlight effect, and other lovely details in this animation.

If I could pick one thing that I think needs improvement - that would be the parallax scrolling. The grass in the foreground really ruins the parallax effect for me. In parallax scrolling, as in real life, the closer the objects are to the viewer, the faster they move, the further they are, the slower they move ([link] [link] [link] ). So if you could make it so that the grass in the foreground moves faster, and the trees way in the back much slower, I think that this animation would be even better.

But overall, great work!

Very good job and I can relate! (LOL me at my cottage a few years ago getting lost at night) It REALLY caught my eye. The background is very good and I love the faces in the lightning flashes. I also like it because I, personally, don't see many animations on here and this was again one that really caught my eye. His face too is priceless. Can't see anything that you would need to improve on, really. All around very good job. And some advice for him, RUN FOR YOUR LIFE MAN RUN BECAUSE YOUR LIFE DEPENDS ON IT.

I can definitely tell just how much effort you put into this, it leaves me hanging around for more of the story you're telling, fantastic job. You certainly tell it's the wrong time and place for that little guy. My only criticism is that the rain could have been made more apparent, possibly by making it a tad lighter in color because I'm having a hard time telling it's there. Other than that, you did such a splendid job and I can't wait to see the rest of the story... if you intend on making more of a story for this little guy ;]

This.... this is just AMAZING! It's so clear and the colors stand out fantastic! The lightning strike is perfect and the bouncing of the emote gives this piece humor and spunk, kind of a childish flare. I love how with every lightning strike a creature appears and the tree in front of the emoticon makes it look like this is in a movie! I can definitely tell that you spent a long time on this and it definitely paid off! You did an amazing job, and I can't wait to see more of this type of work from you! c:

This is too cool. When I saw it, I said ''This is another stupid icon that somebody made it'' but when I saw how much time it took you to do it, I was totally shocked. 10 HOURS?! That's a lot. Okay, let's get to the point.

This is amazing. So many details. I hope that making a moving picture is a lot of work, too. I can't even look at it how amazing and cool this looks like. The best moving picture I have ever seen. I have to, no, I must give you five stars 'cause it's amazing. Congrats. You won five stars and you get five stars in your face. Watch.

This looks so similar to the storm I had.
Dark clouds, expelling their anger into the night time ground. Everything getting soaked in the overwhelming shower.

Dead, grey trees covering a realistic and gloomy forest.
I can see how it must be like to get soaked and haunted by those faces. Alone in the dark.

All of it adds up to fear. The impact, and the vision. Kudos for those, but the emote doesn't look too scared (Maybe I can't see it).
He looks like he's just skipping in the rain happily from my view.

Anyways, very nice.
Though I have seen things like this before, this is different.
You got realism in there for sure.

Amazing. Reminds horror fans of scenes right before the murder. For those who like writing based on pictures should be inspired by this picture.

The vision is perfect. Trying to go home when your life is on the line is what this picture screams.

Very original. It sends shivers down my spine just looking at the poor emote.

The technique is rather wonderful. Only the right technique can be used for this.

The impact is very noticeable. One feels scared and sympathy for the little guy.

Overall, very wonderful and mysterious. Love it.

The concept of scary things in the dark when alone is quite old, but wow o_o this is amazingly well-done!

The high level of detail, use of monochrome color scheme and the light from the lightning are all incredible; amazing use of color in a limited color range. It was awesome at first but then I looked closer and saw FACES! yikes o_o xD and while I was typing this I found that there are smaller faces where the lightning hits. Just, wow o_o so much detail packed into this.

The only problem I have is that the foreground seems to be moving slower than the background, especially in comparison to the tree trunks just behind it. It's a bit jarring to me.

Anyway, awesome! Instant favorite.

This is a skillfully created emoticon gif. I am amazed at how well it was made.

It obviously represents a scared emoticon running through the corn fields.

This is so amazing to me at least because I don't recall seeing such a detailed little gif before.

Technique is spot on. Absolutely amazing. You made pixelated art look like something that is smooth and realistic. I only feel the lightning should have affected the lighting on the smiley.

The impact is obvious. Of course I am impacted. It makes me think about what happened to the emoticon. Why is it running through the dark in the rain? What is the monster in the corn fields?

Overall I think this was created with carefully executed skill. Terrific gif, my friend.

One: I love the purple (my favourite colour tehe)
Two: Very good concept and animation. Very well done.
Three: I love how believable and 3D it is. It's just done very beautifully.
Four: When It goes back to the original, it's a transition not many would notice, except probably someone who has worked with this, like me. Either way very well done.
Five: I love the little emoticon. It's just so cute bouncing around with it's scared face.
Six: I love how it has this dark theme to it, with all the lightning and the scary faces. Very well done.

All in all, I love it 10/10. Very well done.

WOW! It's smooth and clear. It has the 3D perspective with the trees getting out of your way, and having the distant thunder with Fog effect. You animated this very well.
--
I particularly like how the thunder creates the creepy faces within the background tress.
--
You also did very well on giving the flashlight light's its own movement. Something a lot of people miss out on.
--
The sky has a beautiful texture before and when the thunder strikes.
--
The face on your emoti-con is funny. It represents that he is scared, and is really taking in his surroundings. o.O Is what I would do as well if I'm walking in the rain seeing faces in the shadows.
--
The tone that you chose to give your emoti-con, plays well with the background and helps you focus in that area, before widening your eye range.
--
I give this a 10/10. 100%
