I was checking deviations on my iTouch and when I saw the preview for this sandcastle I just couldn't wait to get home and on my laptop so I could see the animation and even just so I could stare at it some more

The shading is superb and really makes the castle realistic. The sand as well has been executed with perfection. The emotes with all their different expressions add just the perfect touch of color to this already astounding pixel art. The little blue one at the bottom really captures your heart with his adorable expression.

All in all this is a mind blowing emote/pixel art piece and really shows how awesome a simple idea like building sandcastles at the beach can turn into a completely original masterpiece!
