Description
This emote is carrying the weight of the world on his shoulders, poor little fella! I've grown up with that expression used commonly to portray someone who's stressed and thinks everything is weighing upon them.Thought it would make a cute little emoticon, and it gave me a chance to use my newly discovered orange emote colour. My normal green didn't really suit, so I thought I'd give this a go and it worked out far better than I initially imagined. Oh, and I thought this would work best as a static emoticon...

I think the highlight in the midlle is just a little too light, but just a very little bit.
I like the emote though, it reminded me of the story about the greek god carrying the whole world, and then of a latin story I translated...

You know I love your signature green, but this orange fellow is beautiful and makes a fantastic contrast with the globe.
I see you've already been linked to =Ugghhzilla 's piece, but yours is a whole other vision of the concept. Well done, sir.

Thanks, and I'm quite the fan of this little orange guy, but his appearances will be limited. Thanks for the kind words.

Looks great. It would be cool to animate him grunting.

i love the contrast of the colors of the base, its good and it suits emoticons better than a basic gradient. I base my style off of that, (not exactly the same, just the high contrast idea) and i like that you and people like camelhijaction do that.

you could name him "Atlas" from greek mithology, the myth says that gods make him to take the world on his shoulders.

I like it, a lot indeed. But the orange emote.. his color seems off. D: And it sucks cause I love orange! Maybe.. brighten him a little? I don't know. He seems more brown and yellow than orange to me. There's a chance it's my monitor, but I doubt that. DD8
But I do like the idea and such, it's a great little emote~

They can be used in journals or on dAmn by thumbing them, eg :thumb#####:, but unfortunately unofficial emoticons cannot be used in comments.

The earth is too bright to the degree it harms the overall emote. I'd suggest redoing the earth, keeping the same size, using yellow-greens, dull sage, and brown hues for the continent, and a light teal or sky blue, also add AA'ing to make the whole package more smooth.
What else? Why not ice caps, or slight animation- such as clouds?

Good point and ideas with the earth. Changed it using colours with less contrast, and just played with it a little, and the result is far better in my opinion.
I'm sticking with no animation on this one.

Wow!! I love this one just as much as the other. 
And expect your punching emote to be featured in my journal.
