The Non-Emote Emote Contest - Closed!

Hello! So, to celebrate 8 years of being on deviantART this month, I would like to host a contest! What is this contest, you (hopefully) ask?

Make an emote that is not a little ball of animated pixels. Make an emote out of clay, paint one on canvas, make a chalk drawing, whatever. Bonus points if you can animate it.

Edit: I have extended the deadline to July 7th because it works out a little better for me. So, if you were planning on getting an entry in, get it in!

THE PRIZES!
1st place:
1,000 points
3 month premium membership
Emote request from me

2nd place:
750 points
1 month premium membership
Emote request from me

3rd prize:
500 points
Emote request from me

RULES!
Deadline: July 7
Entries can be any medium, except how emotes are traditionally made

TIPS!
Entries can be made in a digital format. Example: Digital painting, 3D rendered, fractal (a fractal emote would be very impressive indeed!)
To animate an entry, do stop motion or even take photos of your work in progress and put them in a gif
Alternatively, make a comic-like progression to show movement
Try something new!
