Your attempt at creating smilies seems prity good from the preview. Did you create those smilies from scratch? in any case, some nice work.


Again, it's your choice whether you want to release your work here. That way, people get to enjoy your creations.

Thanks. Just need some ideas whether to switch, because the defaults for most software aren't the nicest designs in the world, and also aren't transparent annoyingly (why don't many make fully transparent images still?) Still, if anyone wants to see the set I made as possible Generic replacements for the defaults, I'll post them.

As for the custom smilies, the ones made by me such as were custom, the second set were by a Lead Moderator, and also custom. If some old ones seem poorly done, it's because I improved as I kept trying to sprite images.

They were designed by the pixel. Literary. They were drawn by scratch by the creators (myself and Nintendan), and sometimes the colours were taken directly from official art by using the colour picker tool.

The reason I am asking though about what style is that I want to know what kinds of smilies have not been released online much. I've seen tons of generic sets, dancing bananas and culture ones, and personally wonder if there are objects people want smilies of that have not been created before.

P.S. Which default sets are better anyway?

P.P.S. Thanks for releasing smilies here, I also downloaded many of them and currently use them as generic smilies.
