Giant Spinning Tard

Of your giant emotes, this is my favorite! <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s…" width="15" height="15" alt="" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="390" title=" (Smile)"/> I remember doing this with my kids when they were little! <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/g/g…" width="17" height="15" alt="" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="100" title="Giggle"/>

I really like the shading/dithering, the blur of the little blue emote, and the little emotes shadow spinning along underneath. Wonderful work! <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/c/c…" width="20" height="20" alt="" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="60" title="Clap"/>

As it is, the base and shadow of the orange emote seem a little too static. I would suggest to make very small changes in the dithering of the big emote in each frame so it creates a bit of "noise", and have the big emote move up and down a few pixels, maybe a couple times, so it has a little squish at the bottom as it spins. It's something that wouldn't need to be done with a typical emote, but with a base this size, would give the eye a better perception of movement.
If you've ever done this with a small kid you move your feet, which emotes don't have, but the impression of movement for the giant emote could be made more perceptible by making those small changes. <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s…" width="15" height="15" alt="" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="390" title=" (Smile)"/>

Originality: - 1/2 star only, as giant emotes like this have been done by a few notable emoticonists
Technique: - 1 star for reasons described above
Impact: - 1/2 star only because the obvious lack of movement in the large base distracts from an otherwise wonderful animation <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/c/c…" width="20" height="20" alt="" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="60" title="Clap"/>
