This was for a contest, unfortunality I didnt place. Anyway, I really hope you like it! I know I made some mistakes and things that could be improved, but today Im way better at making emotes, so make sure to check out my neewer deviations! Also ~seapuppy just posted a critique in a comment, that Im very thankful for, so I just wanted to share it in the description: (it might look a little weird, becaue I copied it)

___________________________________

As amazing as the static version is, this is even more so. I've never really done much critiques before, but something makes me want to do one for this (even if I can't do a 'real' critique, so it might be a little different than the premium ones). Here's the setup I'll use: The good (what I like), The bad (didn't like), Sustains (if remade/revamped, what to keep), Improvements (if remade/revamped, what to change), and Star Time (where I try to mimic the premium critique ).

THE GOOD
Like with the static version, the out of focus background adds a bit of depth, which is probably something I wouldn't have thought of doing.
The music notes in the little thought bubbles leading up to the "big picture" is a great filler for those smaller spaces.
The rock band jamming out in his head and thoughts.
I didn't notice right away, but the notes coming from each musician is the same color as that emote.

THE BAD
The first thing that bothered me when seeing it was how 'choppy' his movements are.
Second thing I noticed was even though his face is moving around, the headphones are stationary.
When the crowd within the concert moves, all of them move in unison the same amount.

SUSTAINS
The light show on the band is as good as anything I've seen of a real life band performing live.
The added depth is a great way to increase focus on the blue dude and what he has going on.
The colorful notes flying all over the place.

IMPROVEMENTS
Adding more frames to create smoother movement throughout the whole loop.
Change the perspective of the headphones so it matches the movement of the emote's face.
Create a stage for the band to be playing on so the speaker shadows aren't moving around with the crowd.
have a few more layers for the crowd so their movements look more individualized.

SORRY YOU CANT SEE THE STARS BECAUSE I COPIED, JUST SCROLL A BIT DOWN TO READ HIS COMMENT
STAR TIME!
ORIGINALITY - There might be other pixel/emote art out there similar in design, but this is the first time I've seen one like this.
CREATIVITY - Combining regular sized emotes with larger emotes doesn't always end well for some.
TECHNIQUE - From hear-say and personal experience, creating the shading within larger emotes while honoring regular emotes can prove to be a challenge within itself.

OVERALL - In the amount of time it took you to create both the static and animated versions of this, you were able to implicate a lot of detail into it that can only happen from a lot of practice and patience.
