Ouch!

[Ignus_Draconus]

I'm very glad that that isn't me.

I don't know about you guys, but I'm getting tired of that ugly white border thing around the smilies... It's high time we do something about them.

Now, the way I see it, we have two choices.

A:Use the smilies, but find a way to get rid of that awful border.
OR
B:Scrap these and get new smilies.

What does everyone else think? I could always ask the owners of the aforementioned sites if this place could use some of the smilies there.
And maybe you could find someone who can make smilies. So, who's with me? Stay with the annoying border, or fix the smilies?

[Pwincess]

Lol, I never noticed the border until you mentioned it just now  

Yeap, this competition is still going, so design new smilies, edit the current ones, or find new ones

From Spikeys collection, I think these are the best:
Angelic -
Happeh Birthday -
Crying -
Upset -
BONK -
Snarl -
Rolling eyes. -
Laugh -
Love-Eyes -
Shocked -
Smile -
Swi- er, Whip -

I'll probably try to create some emoticons this week. I'm not sure if I can make them, but I'll give it a shot, and I suggest you guys try making some too.

[Pwincess]

Can they be similar to the current ones?  (The current ones are SO cute!)  

[Swift]

Yeah, I was thinking of using the current ones as the base for making new ones since I've never made emoticons before.

Edit: How to make Smilies

Look what I did!

-_- <_< :angry:

Got rid of the white border. What do you guys think?

These came from the "Post Icons" section of the forums. I didn't convert them all as some of them looked too similar to the emoticons available. What do you think?

:cheerygrin: :!: :?:

[edit] Using the current smileys now.

[Jafar]

Great job. They look alot better without the border. The animated ones will be harder though...

[Swift]

(First post)

Very true. I'll have to install Fireworks and remove the white borders frame by frame...


(Second post)

Look! I made these!

:emb: :kawaii:

Comments, anyone?
Any ideas what emoticons we should have?

Also, for those of you who want to make your own emoticons, here is the base face for you to work on.


I've attached it to this post so you can download it from here.

Great job, Swift! Keep it up. Some of those remind me of those cool KQ9 smilies. =)

[BF(d'oh)]

Great job, Swift!

[Swift]

Thank you! *bows*

[Pwincess]

[Lord_Bierhoff]

excellent I like those Swift, particularly the winking tongue.  I've always wanted one of those.
