BERSERK emoticons!

[Vaxillus]

I thought about making Slan but I'm not planning on doing her at the moment.

Not planning on doing Slann?  Well, I guess she is a comic character, but one can always fantasize...

It took me awhile to figure out the Guts emoticon actually represented Guts.  I thought it was some guy w/ a flattop grinning, like the president's PR rep from the Dark Knight Returns.  Even now the emoticon looks more like that guy than it does Guts.

[Headless Death]

I think our emoticons are a bit too big for this, but that's a good idea regardless.

Although the one your using seems to do the job, how about using something along the lines of one of the forum icons like the

For one already an icon \/

That's what is planned, the current favicon is just a test I made quickly.

Here is a 16x16 test.

which is completely imcomprehensable at that size

Well, I made a new version of my own, following Headless Death's example. Coincidentally, the rose was what Walter and I had in mind, and I think the result isn't too bad, so I'll leave it like that for now.

Looks really good.

Isidro icon could be better. But the rest look great! Especially this one ..

Azan enters the fray of emoticons as MR. DOUBLE-FROWN. 

I'm planning a few more throughout the month. Merry Christmas.

[Aazealh]

That Azan emoticon was LONG overdue!

I support this statement. Is it too much to ask for a arm cross emoticon? 

[Walter]

Is it too much to ask for a arm cross emoticon? 

I'm afraid it is. The mandate for new emoticons is they not exceed 25 pixels height, at MAX. Otherwise, they look fucked up in posts. Here's an example.

Also, as a favor to me, try not to abuse the use of these things, like for situations that don't warrant it.

I'd like to emphasize this. Using them in the proper context is what makes those emoticons great. For example, spamming the troll emoticon (which is supposed to imply a trollish comment) just ruins it, and can even confuse other members over your intentions.

[Rhombaad]

Awesome!  Azan is a great addition and the Void one is hilarious.

[Walter]

Awesome!  Azan is a great addition and the Void one is hilarious.

Thanks for the praise. As Aaz said, a new batch of emoticons is really looong overdue. But these will look good, because I think I've gotten better at making them over the years. This Azan one was a cakewalk compared to the early emoticons, which took hours and hours of polishing for each.

And the Void emoticon actually isn't implemented yet. Still working with variations on it. The one  you see is just a first draft, so it's kind of a tease.

Also, I fleshed out Skully's emoticons to make them look a little more realistic. I'm pleased with the results. VS . And VS

Yeah, they look a lot better.  More like SK and less like regular skulls, although I still enjoyed the earlier ones.

[Xans-Griffith]

The Azan emoticon looks great; very compact, polished and professional. There's a difference from the older ones in how well the characterizing detail is packed into the small space while retaining an "emoticon" look. Carcus is still the best, though.

I changed my troll emoticon in the 301 thread to something more appropriate.

[Madam President]

Love the Azan icon! (Carcus is my favorite out of all of them) Any plans for Slan?? I have no idea what emotion she'd represent, but the comments you guys make about her always make me laugh out loud!

Slan is among those planned for the future, but they may be used in different ways than we've planned.

[Ramen4ever]

Pretty cool stuff. Slan would make for a pretty good "wink" "giggle" or just a general "seduce" emotio.

[Walter]

 Another new one premiered in the 301 thread today: 

[Rhombaad]

Awww, so innocent.  Nice addition, Walter.

[deathbybears]

I'm really impressed with the emoticon. Could you give me an example situation for when it could be used?
