Power Miscat Handling by LeoLeonardo on DeviantArt (original) (raw)
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:
It is also partly in recognition of `Droneguards 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...
