The pixelling and the animation on this piece are simply amazing. And the little baker is incredibly cute.

An adorable little scene. I love all the details. And cannolis!!

Such a clever and fun take on the bottle emotes. Well pixelled and executed.
Other Gems:
Inspired by `ArtByCher's lovely "Random Acts of Kindness" gift, I have taken to honoring some of the outstanding dA emoticonists. Whether the emoticonist is heavily involved in the community, makes exceptional art that inspires other emoticonists, or is simply a kind deviant that helps and supports others, many of these individuals deserve a bit of additional recognition for their efforts. This award will be given out to 1-2 emoticonists a month as a special "thank you" for their work around the emoticon community. The emoticonist will be chosen by me, but may be recommended by other members of the community.
The Awesome Emoticonist award for January 2012 goes to...
While only a member of the emoticon community for a short time, he has made a huge splash, creating pieces that show an amazing level of skill and artistry. His works liken to some of the emoticon greats, like `CookiemagiK, `LeoLeonardo and `Droneguard. Already sporting one emoticon DD under his belt, and many more being suggested, he is an inspiring and rising start among emoticonists and thus a worthy recipient of January's Awesome Emoticonist badge.
If you know someone who you believe deserves to be recognized as an "Awesome Emoticonist", please Note me and tell me who and why.
