  Greetings TIGers. Since many voiced their wish for the addition of more smileys onto the forums, and Derek gave me the thumbs up, I decided to start this thread in which any pixelers can make and submit their new smiley proposals. Derek assured me that he'd add some, or you can find him and break his legs.

I believe a few good guidelines are:

• Smileys should probably be in the same or a similar style to the existing ones, though if you got something more original (and awesome) don't be too afraid to show it off.
• I'm not about to tell everyone to match the same level of quality, but just try to do your best (and if you do better, well, even better ).
• Nothing offensive.
• In-jokes are go.
• I don't think Derek will or can add everyone's smileys, so you shouldn't expect that just because you submitted something it will be picked no matter what. Do it for the fun, not the fame.
• If possible, animated!

Lets get started then. Also, submitted smileys should be open to critique from the rest of the community, and everybody should be ready to improve them.

Panda smilie:
Awesome Gentleman:
Smiley Gentleman:

[Melly]

The panda could use with shading, and something about the awesome-gent looks a bit off. Probably the eyes. And it looks like it's bigger than the original smileys (the head).

And Cheater cheats by editing existent sprites! (teasing)

But, but, I had to sleep!

Pupil is too big. Also, the head is 16x16, the tophat though, is huge.

Mr. Yes better get over here, pronto. He has a great smiley set over at another forum me and him go to.

[Melly]

Nothing against you Cheater, but maybe we should focus on original smileys and not edits of the originals.

You can stil work on your panda and awesome-gent.

[Mr. Yes]

Made one just for fun:



I used the same size and shape as the current smilies (like, I took one of the smilies and used the outline of it), hope that's not considered an edit.

Have him pop his monocle before he cries and we'll talk.

Awesome, we should make combinations for all of them! Who wants to put together the entire table?

I'll give [ + ] a try

[Terry]

Tears of joy:

So for combinations, so far we have:
  +  =
  +  =
  +  =

[Mr. Yes]

Tears of joy:

My god, genius. :D

[Terry]

Thank you!

Oh, I had no intention of getting them added. I did them for fun and to get the ball rolling. Except smileygent.

Have him pop his monocle before he cries and we'll talk. 

I intended to do that, but wanted to post the smiley before leaving.

Edit: Done.
Editedit: Darned white-on-white.

Tears of joy:

My god, genius. :D

Absolute genius.

[Melly]

You guys are awesome.

And I guess edits are okay, as long as they look good and not hacked together.
