Description

Well, I was going to submit this to =SparklyDest's orange contest, but I finished it a day late :noes:

And then it didn't work with the next contest, sooooooo :paranoid:

Anyway, I wanted to elaborate more on so that's exactly what I did.

I'm really surprised how quickly I made this too. Usually something like this would've taken me forfreakin'ever.

Anyway, inspired by all of `CookiemagiK and =LedMaiden's ninja related 'motes.

The only reason the emote comes back alive is for looping purposes. A real ninja attack would've left that emote DEAD. :giggle:

I wake up, and all of a sudden my inbox is alive and overflowing again O:

Thanks for the DD `CookiemagiK and ^krissi001! :iconexcitedplz:

I'm really excited to see this artist continue to grow. Every time she puts out a new piece it truly shows a conscious improvement in various areas. This is not to say that she has much to improve upon, but rather that she is pressing forward past the point where others may have lazily conceded.

Animation
Astounding. It's smooth without being sluggish, quick without jerking, and very dynamic. I really love the bounce when emote hits the ground: the eyes falling behind, the body squishing and popping back. It's perfect!

Shading
The shading is good however, and maybe you could shed some light here, there seems to be a dark spot directly under the glare that I just can't wrap my head around. That aside, the effects are very well done: the ninja phasing in and out, the glow around the hand, and that ground-pounding burst that hits the poor little victim are all wonderful

In Conclusion
It's very very well animated, and the only part of the pixeling I don't get is probably just me being stupid. Great job!
