The facepunch custom emoticon project - you want better emoticons?? Then make them yourself you litt - General

[QUOTE=Katska;48214509]Got it. [img]http://i.imgur.com/b7Mvcte.gif[/img] [CODE]:facemelt:[/CODE] [url]http://puu.sh/j0qth/fd6cc98342.psd[/url] This is sort of a rough-draft, I guess. Like I said earlier, I pretty much haven't touched Photoshop before today and I know nothing about how animation is supposed to work, so if you want to tell me how to improve this, or do it yourself, then please do so.[/QUOTE] Ah, I hadn't thought of shaving off the side pixels for a skull, that looks way better.

[QUOTE=jetboy;48214324]your older one was better I can't unsee a tobacco pipe[/QUOTE] The older one was just a recolour of the original sax though.

So... I tried something and uh... it didn't work out too well. I don't really know how to make a working transparent animation in GIMP since it has a tendency to merge all of the frames on top of another if there's no background, so I had to put a plain white background in, and uh... it's just not that good.

Honestly, I'll let someone else pick up the concept if they wish, I'm not really sure if I can do it much justice

Trying more Ratings-related emotes: [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/NiDynrk.gif[/IMG] The timing is way slower than it should be...

requesting a "How's it hanging, heh" in the style of :lies: or something like that

[QUOTE=IrishBandit;48214987]Trying more Ratings-related emotes: [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/NiDynrk.gif[/IMG][/QUOTE] could be executed better, but I like the idea

[QUOTE=thejjokerr;48215012]I think you forgot to light up the lightning bolt[/QUOTE] erm the point is he's not pressing the button. its a downs face, its for when a zing is terrible

[QUOTE=thejjokerr;48215012]I think you forgot to light up the lightning bolt, I made it for you with a little flicker for added effect, though I'm not sure if I like it like this. [img]http://i.imgur.com/IxUvPQa.gif[/img] Either way it's up to you to make it perfect, it's yo thang[/QUOTE] the idea is that the emote is meant to be used when someone fails to make a zinger

[IMG]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/61561404/want.gif[/IMG]

Updated my over your head emote with the standard downs face and fixed some edge lighting issues that I missed. [IMG]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/13781308/FP Emotes/overurhead-b.gif[/IMG] [editline]ed[/editline] I feel like it's missing something though.

[QUOTE=Glitchman;48213180]Just thought I'd put all mine here in one post cuz they look nice together. Would be awesome knowing at least one of them became an actual emote but the process was fun anyways!

[QUOTE=postal;48214674]idk why people thought it'd be a good idea to ruin it by plastering an avatar he never even used when that shit went down all over it but yeah im so not using those[/QUOTE] I have to agree. When making these I think that it's important to ask yourself "when could I use this". I think an Oicani style emote that is crying with the text scrolling "I'm so fucked we're gonna be poor", or just "we're gonna be poor" would probably do it. And bam! instant sensationalist headlines economy emote. The sponsored emote of Greece.

Had a crack at making an emoticon, where do you guys think I could improve? [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/aGzws3U.gif[/IMG]

Made this as a rough concept. Thoughts? Or, is it fine as it is? :backfire: [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/xwFDRV4.gif[/IMG] [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/XL9vvMj.gif[/IMG]
