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...

I loved the part where Jark walks off screen, and the little guy just FACEPLANTS into the ground, gets up, then blinks like "wtf?" with his stupid o_O look, you nailed that perfectly

The expression on the martian emote's face when earth blew up... "It was only a matter of time before they messed it up..."

For those of you who are wondering what "Miscat" literally means, it's short for "miscategorization". Instead of having to type 146,260 letters, though, we just use "miscat". Just thought I'd clear that up for those that were still wondering what it meant after reading the artist's comments.

Unbelievable how much work goes into such a short piece!You'd never think of that (bows in humble respect).
This was so cute, and I hope that Martian and that other emoticon end up getting along.
I love how the Martian just shakes his head when the Earth blows up.

this must of taken ages to make and it looks great. also that copyright tag seems like a pretty neat idea and it doesn't really get in the way at all. if any more of my works get stolen I might try it my self. any way, over all EXCELLENT WORK!

Sorry, I've read through your hole comment, and it's a nice little animation and everything, but I still don't get why the emote guy exploded.
