For those who have many watchers, and for those who dont have many, it is hard to know how one retains that interest as well as receive more. This article explores the basics of watchers and how we react to certain situations. Although it does not affect some deviants, and the tips are generally related to common sense, we hope the article is a worthwhile read and that the majority learn something from reading this.

My favorite thing of all is the transformation of the moderator into the super-monster-moderator, which looks like something straight out of Castle Crashers. Whether that was the intention, or perhaps the inspiration, it is still very awesome. The way the screen-shakes during those frames is also very well done.
Something that may go unnoticed is the subtle nod to `CookiemagiK's Super mario emote bros at the start of this production, which I thought was very nice. The last deviation which sets the moderator off, the webcam pic, was also a nice touch, especially looking at the deviant standing next to the picture with that fantastically blank look on their face.
The shift to Mars was great as we see the return of °jark, and finally get some answers as to his whereabouts. It turns out he spends his days on Mars blasting overzealous moderators with lasers.
When you watch something, an animation such as this, and laugh, you know that it's got something humorous about it. When you are able to watch something such as this multiple times and still laugh, you know you've got a masterpiece. Even now, as I write this, I pause every few seconds to watch the animation above my text; even now it's making me smile.
Vision is obviously an easy five out of five - the pure brilliance that can be seen through the excellent shading and replication of certain things. Even the deviantART page that has been done is beautiful, and the mini versions of every emote is lovely and looking the same compared to the real versions. One of my favourite parts of this is where the 'Castle Crashes-like' emote happens, the way it's done is just pure excellence. Another brilliant part that always makes me smile is where the silver guy falls onto Mars and his expression.
Originality nabs a four and a half, but that's only because of the hits at certain things, like the Castle Crashers moment. That's the only half mark, and I would give this five if I wasn't trying to be fairer with my scores.
Technique also obviously nabs a second five - the beauty of your style is just perfect, making me want to scan every single frame multiple times for each little aspect that I didn't notice before. You obviously have a brilliant talent.
Impact nabs you a final five - as said above, if you can watch something multiple times and enjoy it over and over again (what am I on now - the fiftieth time?) it's obviously a masterpiece.
So, I take off my hat (I don't have a hat. ._.) to you and your excellent piece right here.
