Witches on broomsticks. Appearing as the iconic image of Halloween alongside the dancing skeletons, Jack O' Lanterns and tons of candy, now appears before us in the form of an emoticon. If there's one thing that should gain the attention of any passerby, it should be the overall cartoonish charm that the icon carries as it sails joyfully across its viewer's screen. Lack of more distinguishing animation quirks aside, it is still an enjoyable Emote created by `synoconi.

To begin with, the colors used really catch the eye and are very well shaded. Minor details, such as the shadow above the brim of the witch's hat are a nice addition to the piece. As nice as it appears, there are a few things that could make a bit more appealing. As the witch flies through the air, its a bit strange to see that its hat isn't moving at all as if it were starched before she went into the air. The same could be said about the broom. Some of the filaments at the bottom could be moving a bit as it moves through the air. Just the smaller details in the piece could make that much more of a spectacle to the passing viewer.

Nitpicks aside, the piece still carries a very undeniable charm carried by many of `synconi's pieces in her colorful gallery. Although there are a few ways that it could be better, there are still ways that still remain that make it pretty good. Good work Gabe!
