Re: New emoticons.

Not bad although I like the significance of the older emoticons. They're like a part of brickfilming history.

I can appreciate that, but I simply don't think they fit into the tone of the new site very well. Obviously that's my opinion and I'm entitled to it just as you are to yours. I did try to keep the expressions Blunty made to an extent, rather than make 100% new ones. It's more like a new coat of paint rather than something completely new.

I can move the faces up more, but then it look more odd. Especially with some of the faces that use the space for eyebrows and other varying expressions.

I'll see what I can do about the mini/tongue. I want to make it look more like a "fun" poking the tongue out rather than one that looks like someone squinting as blood pours out of his mouth. I'll work on an animated version and post it soon.

Please keep the mini/tongue and call it :ladon:.

Re: New emoticons.

Ok, here's some various tongue emotes I whipped up just now. I also made one based off Blunty's, as it does seem to be popular. Some turned out better than others, but you get that.

As much as I'd love to be "The forum emote guy" remember that in the end it's up to Schlaeps as to whether these are even used or not.

I like the last one the most, because it's like mini/tongue and I like that emote.
Very nice emotes, they look a lot more shinier.

Personally I think it looks like a guy squinting and throwing up blood, but people do seem to like it http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p84/UberSocks/1-1.gif

Re: New emoticons.

No problem, dewfilms. The head is a template I made based off one on the actual Lego site anyway. I just enjoy editing ad adding emote-like faces to it. I'll work on a few googly-eye ones soon, just for you. http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p84/UberSocks/13-1.gif

Do you still think the updated ones have tall foreheads? Personally I think they look closer to minifig heads, which is what I'm aiming at. (A cross between an emote and a minifig head).

Re: New emoticons.

The heads look a lot better in your second emot post.
Maybe centering the eyes and mouth a bit more would make the foreheads stick out less.

Sméagol's Mr. Green is a huge improvement.
The old one looked more of a 'spring green' or 'minty green' instead of just regular green.

Re: New emoticons.

I like the new ones a lot. Out of interest what emotion does Mr Green represent, what is it used for ?  I never did understand it - although it looks good mini/smile

And can we please get rid of the 60 seconds between posts limit, it is very annoying. 15 seconds would be fine to prevent spam bots etc

Re: New emoticons.

It's good to see a wide variety of opinions and ideas. I'll be back on in the morning (it's 12:40 here at the moment) and check what people have said, then make more emotes based of feedback.

Centering the eyes makes the head look really weird, as they'd be further in towards the middle leaving heaps of space on the sides.

Mr. Green : A cute green smiley that is a basic staple to all phpbb forum emoticons. It is green, rather than yellow, and displays a huge teethy grin, expressing a large ammount of happiness.

True. A tad more difficult to estimate since we're dealing with heads that are earless.
(Since human ears are around eye level. And human mouths are around bottom ear level.)
