Seems.....a bit...slow...I think it blinked a bit too long before saying wtf. Hard to....say exacly...but it seems a long period of time to get to the point.

That's kind of the point really.

It's like "Dude... I can't believe... Wait, WTF?"

[RocketScientist]

Wow, you guys. Those are brilliant!

[TinSoldier]

Goblin emoticons! What a brilliant idea!

Okay, this one is probably a bit out of season:

[LooksAndSmiles]

I wish I had found this thread earlier. Also, I wish I'd be used to use more smileys other than the generic ones...

You guys are awesome.

Edit: addoed appropiate emotions.

[Zathyr]

Oh and upon thinking on it, "Silly Smiley Smithy" would be an acceptable title.

Out of curiosity, was there a problem with that? I liked it a lot more than "smiths silly smiles" because, you see, you get the assonance in addition to the alliteration and also the added ambiguity - are the smileys silly or is Zathyr? Well both of course!

I needed to take a break yesterday and set GIMP down for a while. My eyes were bothering me. I'll probably go easy on them today as well, although I am itching to work on some of my ideas, so we'll see.

[Wolfie]

I think this needs to be mentioned: This thread is full of awesome!

[SeeAMoose]

Sorry Zathyr, normally I try to make custom titles conform with the naming conventions from the comic. I can change it if you really want, but I don't think it fits as well.

[SeeAMoose]

We need something like this too

I was trying to figure what exact emotion it's trying to convey. I know we have ones which are close, but still.

[SeeAMoose]

Yours is close, I think the facial features need to be shifted up a hair though. The code keenspot uses is

Okay, then.

Edit: My personal preference is still the first one. It's kinda sad, kinda bemused, kinda resigned. A little embarrassed.

So much emotion in one little picture!

Edit 2: Comparison:

[SeeAMoose]

Awesome! 1 is more bemused, it looks like he's watching his kid try to do something and fail... but in a cute way. 2 is more of a "Really? You're going to do that? Okay then, your loss."

We also need a :facepalm: smilie, maybe a head shake one, and a sighing one (either relieved or exasperated).(Just to add to the to do list)

Edit: and a :raisehand: one.

I started work on a thumbs-up one, but I didn't like what I came up with. I need to go back to the drawing board.

<-- the original, not mine.

I know what I did wrong though and I just need to take the time to fix it.

Hmm. Facepalm, headshake, and sigh. I'm not sure how to do a "sigh" smiley.

I kinda want to do a celebration crowd one and/or a balloon one. I don't have a ready example but I've seen them.

[SeeAMoose]

There's a Klikie thumbs up, but it's kinda hard to tell that's what it is. It could serve as inspiration though.

[TinSoldier]

It's late. I need to go to bed.

[M0rtimer]

Hah that hammertime smiley

[Theis2]

I had a small moment where a panicked smiley would have been great, but I settled with using the shaking nervous one instead

[LooksAndSmiles]

In the Games subforum OOC thread I made a mustache smiley, because evereything is better with a mustache... or was it bacon?

In any case, feel free to use / extend this with several different facial hair, if need to be:

[SeeAMoose]

Try , I added it a couple days ago.

[TinSoldier]

It's late. I need to go to bed.

BTW, you can use this as-is if you want, but I plan on tweaking it a bit more tonight.

[RocketScientist]

How about ? It reminds me of Dies hugging The Name of the Wind.

We now need this smiley but with Dies hugging a book...

Or you can wait for me to finish my version, which is mostly done but I've been busy with other things. It'll be a longer animation and not so violent, truer to my intentions when I started on it. I also worked on a big thumbs-up and thumbs-down emoticon but the hand blocked the ear and didn't look good. I was planning on toying around with a stretched-out arm (roughly parabolic) bringing the hand out past the ear if you're looking for ideas, Tin.

has a lot of pieces of its animation that could be adapted for things like a head shake or sigh, but just be aware the colors on the devilish smileys are a little different - darker shades and a bit different shading pattern. I would recommend not working directly from that image, even copy/pasted, unless you're going devilish, but feel free to use the frames as a reference.

[TinSoldier]

Less... violent?
