Animation Source Forums

Oh sorry about that. Edited*


If more people join yes, or if they worked together.... However the difference in style could effect this.

Hm, true.

So does anyone else want to compeate?

How would you decide winners? Anyone can email smileys to Steet to be used on the forum. As long as they're the right size and a transparent .gif file there's no problem with them, unless they're unrecognisable(sp?) ofcourse.

I -might- have a shot at making some at some point.

However we would prefer to choose the best ones, witch is why members should post them here.

Shoudl we have Judges ;] XDD

Eh, I dunno, not sure I really like the idea of a contest for it.
If someone had made some before this topic was made and sent them to Steet and he put them up no one would've had anything to say then.

Kinda feels like it's not everyone can send stuff to be used on the site, which isn't true at all.

I was thinking they could be judged based on how well they go with the style of the ones on Balto Source. To illustrate: Notice the lively use of shading to make the face look three-dimensional, the thick expressive outline, and so on. That's how the ones for LKS ought to look, I think.

Agreed.

And come to think of it, the outline color ought to be taken into account too. Notice how the wolf smilies aren't outlined in black, but a darker shade of gray? It should be similar with the lion smilies, have them outlined in kind of a darkish brown (or red if manes are added).

I agree 100% here, I like teh wold smilies, and I cant wait for the lion one.

Me niether.

I think DT has a great idea- but how I had said before is more judged of what other people want.

I could run a poll saying~

Who's smileys do you vote for?

* Stick

* Lowin

* Other

* Other

Etc.

And when the poll runs out, who ever had the most votes would win.

And on the main page- it will have ALL the created LK smileys and the name of the maker so voters know what their voting for.

Sound okay, or is DT's better?

P.S I TOTALLY agree that it needs to be shaded and outlined good.

Contest or not, I would prefer that the smileys I add to be from the same style. So I guess there can only be one "winner".

This is a really great idea! For a while now I've been wishing somebody would make these. I'd make some myself and enter them... if I knew how to do anything in pixel style.
