Critique tiems!
Firstly, I want to say the shading on this emote is lovely. It is shiny and smooth and just absolutely amazing. c:
But, while I can tell what he's holding is a fishing pole, there isn't much contrast between the line and the dock. When the line drops down, it looks like it's dropping over the edge, not the front, of the dock, which is wrong perspective-wise. I had to zoom in to see the end of the line because of the lack of contrast between the two, and even then, it looked odd. The water is semi-transparent over the dock, but you cannot see the line under the water, nor is there a ripple where the line enters the water. The back of the of dock stands on nothing, as well, so if you want to show the water with semi-transparency, I'd drop the legs all the way off the canvas.
The emote itself is great. The expression made me laugh and, like I said, the shading is wonderful. If I were you, I might just crop out the dock and water all together and just have it as a stand-alone chat friendly emote, though, or go back and fix a few things here and there with perspective on the piece.

Thank you for the critique!
I see what you're talking about with the fishing pole and the dock. I'll try to fix that (and if it stills looks weird, I'll just crop it out like you said~ ^-^).

You're welcome!
You don't have to take all my advice about things, it's just matter of opinion.

Yeah. Well I tried to change a few things, but I just decided it looked better without the background. So, here it is now.

It looks a lot better, and now it's all chat-friendly and such. c:
