OK, first of I would like to apologize for any bad spelling/grammar. If you don't understand, ask and I will try to explain better.
On clarity, since most were pretty clear, I gave between 7-8, and higher if there is some more unique face.
On originality, since there are not that much emoticons based on war3 I tried to give based on how many people could think of that and would make it and such. So demons, skeletons and such took a bad hit.
I would like to note that it seams people split in to 2 groups. Some made smiles look good, but lost on originality and clarity, while other did opposite. Some results even surprised me.


Quality: I like how they look, shading is OK, except for the horn on one of them. Animations are not very smooth though. That eye also looks nice, yellow and green go well, but that shade starts suddenly - 14/20
Originality: Owlbears are more original then what was seen so far, so its ok - 8/10
Clarity: Well, you have only 2, so its easy to understand. Don't get the eye though, just staring at you - 7/10
Overall: 28/40

Personal comment: You had 3 WIPs in same post with final submission so it made it kinda confusing should I have judged them too. I didn't but don't do it again. I don't know if you wanted eye to be judged too, so I added it so you don't get disqualified.


Quality: They look good, shading is also good. Only 1 animation, but its very smooth, and looks quite good - 16/20
Originality: Making tuskars is good idea. Chaos and morph are original, considering you are working with tuskar - 9/10
Clarity: well, 3 normal ones are clear in their message, but frozen one, morph and chaos, I just don't understand what they represent - 6/10

Overall: 31/40

Personal comment: like a big round head, which is a smiley, with color and tusks that make it look like a tuskar. That is a more original approach.


Quality: Pixelized, no shading/highlighting, no animation - 5/20
Originality: Demons, zombies, blobs... not that original - 4/10
Clarity: As far as I can see you have 2 doomguards, 1 zombie, and 1.. is it a pitlord? And none of them have some emotion on their face, all do 1 same thing - 3/10

Overall: 12/40

Personal comment: You didn't spend to much time on them, did you?


Quality: Relatively simple, but nice. Shadows are nice since they make the skulls look round. They are not so detailed, but when I look at them, I don't know what more to add - 13/20
Originality: Skulls/Skeletons are not a very original idea - 4/10
Clarity: They do get their point across nicely. Only that ones with open mouth have a counterpart with closed, so they look very similar - 9/10

Overall: 26/40

Personal comment: Simple, but they send the message well.


Quality: They look like a grapefruit with a horn, an eye and mouth. Which is how ogre heads look like So its good. You could have added a bit more shading on the edges to make them loom ore round. Only one animation that looks good - 14/20
Originality: I suppose ogres are original - 8/10
Clarity: I easally get what point each of them is sending - 10/10

Overall: 32/40

Personal comment: A well made group of emoticons.


Quality: They look crazy, which is good, considering they are goblins. All are animated excellently, and loop very well. I know that sleeping one and crying one don't loop that well, but I think that's the ides. Like sprinklers or something. Not sure if you were going for that, but it came out good and funny - 19/20
Originality: Well, goblins aren't very original overall, since they often appear in many contests, but
newer in an emoticon contest, so its good enough. It was expected that you will make goblins - 8/10
Clarity: All of them can be easally understood - 9/10

Overall: 36/40

Personal comment: Nice, but they look like they are wearing dippers(especially the crying one). Makes it look lolzy.


Quality: This looks awesome. Animations loop very well, and voidwalkers them self look very funny - 19/20
Originality: Voidwalkers are pretty original - 9/10
Clarity: All get their point across. Only 4th one(one with XX eyes) isn't that clear. Not sure if hes xD or :D or x) or whatever. You gona have to lose a point there - 8/10

Overall: 36/40

Personal comment: I like that you used portals for their bodies, because if it was me, it would probably be some smoke or something. Its nice to see that a relatively unknown user will end up amongst first few.


Quality: There is pixelization, but it still looks good. Animations on ones that have it is good and loops nicely - 15/20
Originality: Well, murlocks are not the most original idea ever - 5/10
Clarity: The point is very clear on most, but some seam to have a duplicate(and I'm not talking about animated and unanimated versions) - 8/10

Overall: 27/40

Personal comment: This contest wasn't about how many they are, but how good they look. You could have made 6-7, but with a lot more detail.


Quality: A little bit pixelized, but its OK. Animations on headshake and cold are good, but anger doesn't loop that well - 13/20
Originality: Drenai broken ones is original - 9/10
Clarity: I don't know what normal represents, but other 3 are good - 7/10

Overall: 28/40

Personal comment: Its OK, but you could have polished them more.


Quality: They look funny, which is nice. And no animations - 13/20
Originality: Well, you mixed orcs and skeletons, both not that original. You could have gone with something else - 5/10
Clarity: There are 2 of them with "?" sign, others are OK - 8/10

Overall: 26/40

Personal comment: They look funny, but that's it. I know there are skeletal orks in war3, but with all the ork emoticons OK hive, and skeletal all over the internet.


Quality: They look really like the ones in game, which is nice, although it misses a personal touch. Animations are good and loop well - 18/20
Originality: Some are original, like faceless One and Turtle, others not, like the skull and demons. Its the only entry that is not only 1 race so that counts for something - 7/10
Clarity: Some send the point, others just stand there - 6/10

Overall: 31/40

Personal comment: Mixing a lot of races is unique in this contest, even though it said you can mix em up in the rules. But you should have gone more with the more unique creeps then the demons.


Quality: They look like a badly drawn cartoon, but animations loop well and look good. I don't understand why you made a golem explode with organs coming out. They are pure rock - 10/20
Originality: Its unique, nice that you have multiple kinds - 8/10
Clarity: i don't get the falling one, but others seam OK - 7/10

Overall: 25/40

Personal comment: You should have focused more on the art side. Ideas were nice, but not developed properly.


Quality: They look decent, but shading mostly changes suddenly. Their noses are completely in the light, while their cheat go in to the dark right away, kinda unnatural. Animation with ROFL don't loop to well, while other one is good - 11/20
Originality: Its a neet idea. Doubt that many would think of making clockworker goblins - 9/10
Clarity: Its easy to understand them: 8/10

Overall: 28/40

Personal comment: They are good, but a bit more effort was needed on the art side.


Quality: They look awesome. But no animations - 15/20
Originality: Dragons... that is overused in every aspect - 4/10
Clarity: Well there is one angry, other look like they are smiling or screaming - 6/10

Overall: 25/40

Personal comment: As expected its drawn awesomely. But originality, and lack of variation in emotions killed it.


Quality: They look creepy, with eyes going to the side. Color vary way to much. You go from really light green(almost yellow) to dark green on shadows. That is not good. And no animations - 11/20
Quality: Murlocks are not that original - 5/10
Clarity: Pretty clear - 8/10

Overall: 24/40

Personal comment: Colors hurt the eyes dude.
