Please do not redistribute, reupload, modify, etc. etc. my artwork for any purpose without my specific, written permission!

Revamped Version of this:


...then you break your mother's back! :iconcheerplz:
Here it is! FINALLY. My entry for =SparklyDest's March EMTC. Is it just me, or has March been the worst month to-date this year? :iconsadtardplz:

In any case, the theme is "Superstitions," and it was one of my new year's goals to enter every EMTC! Going strong, so far. :eager:

The original version of this has clouds in the sky, but I was doing that at 12 AM last night, and somehow I royally messed up the timing. I spent an hour and a half trying to fix it this morning until I realized that they're not necessary. :paranoid:

Frames: 236
Program: CS3
Time: ~5 hours?
Feelings: I know it's not amazing. :iconstaresplz:

I will never wait this long to start my contest entry again!

AND OH MY GOD, I FOUND A WAY TO MAKE THE EMOTES BOUNCE THAT ISN'T ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS. I LOVE IT.
And I hand-shaded them for the first time. :iconteheplz:

Constructive feedback encouraged. :love:

:star::star::star::star: Overall
:star::star::star::star::star: Vision
:star::star::star::star::star-half: Originality
:star::star::star::star::star-empty: Technique
:star::star::star::star::star-empty: Impact

(please note that this is my first critique. <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/l/l…" width="15" height="15" alt=":lol:" title="LOL"/>)

Vision: This emote definitely conveys its point - as every emote, the process is a lot quicker than real life and lets us understand easier.
Originality: The idea here is original - I wasn't able to find emotes about this superstition. The way of conveying it is also very original.
Technique: Overall this is good at technique, but there are a few points here you could improve:
<img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/b…" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletblack:" title="Bullet; Black"/> When the background moves, it moves a lot slower than everything else.
<img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/b…" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletblack:" title="Bullet; Black"/> When the "camera" moves from the mom back, everything suddenly speeds up in the middle, than stop again.
<img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/b…" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletblack:" title="Bullet; Black"/> When the mother breaks her back, her hands disappear all of a sudden.
Awesome bouncing technique is awesome <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/d/d…" width="21" height="15" alt=":dummy:" title="I am a dummy!"/>
Impact: As said, this emote conveys its message very well. One star loss because that it's still a bit hard to get in the first time.

Overall, this is really a nice emote <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/b…" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)"/> Hope you enjoyed my critique <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/l/l…" width="15" height="15" alt=":lol:" title="LOL"/>
