Alrighty, now that members can have a Custom Smiley, I figured I might as well cash in. If you have an image that you want me to make into a 20x20 SEN smiley, either .png or .gif, I can resize and edit the image to fit your taste.
Mineral donations would be greatly appreciated, but are by no means required. Maximum of 5 edits per smiley, 8 edits per person.

Previous work:

:moose: .....[never implemented, sadly. No loop might've killed it.]

:dev: ..|:dev:

:lotus: ...

:nude: .............

D: ......... (final)

I'm confused about the purpose of those posts. Artanis, they're both already appropriate size and sexiness...or are you just putting those there just because? This isn't a "display your own smilies" thread, this is for requests for me to make smilies for people.

And Demon, I think they need to adhere to the 20x20 standard...and again, it seems like you guys think this thread is meant to show your own previous work. It's not.

No, I didn't forget, I had it in there and took it out because I would kill myself if that was to actually be used as a smiley.

Why didn't you make the moose globe a loop then? It's just a checkmark to tick.
Also the smiley can be up to 30x20, like :voy: , for example.

If you want you could take my avatar and resize and animate it. Maybe you come up with something more appropriate than my cheesy lighting up for :nude: .
Keep in mind it's a stylish baby listening to techno via headphones, and you should stay in that theme.
To make it good, you should highlight some details like the mouth after making it smaller because using smooth resize these tend to get low-key. Or you just take the first frame of my smiley where I already did it for you. ;)

If I like your work, I'll probably use it.

Wut? It reminded me of Lewis Black, sorta.

My recent work includes some WLM emotes. :D and D: are here:

I can 20x20-ize NOES if you want, and redo them with PNG alpha. (WLM uses a light background, 's why they're a bit aliased here.)

I'm sure the original Clubby doesn't:

@Nude: Nope, he don't.

@Nasus: So how 'bout making SEN a NOES emote?

Nude, your unanimated smiley is much better than any animated one would be, imo.
WTF is noes?

You realize that this is a .jpg, and thus the resulting quality will be low? Alrighty.

Both minimize the the eyes. Great first pic for me to fail on >.>

Making a pic smaller by several factors the original quality does not matter one bit anymore.

You realize that :nude: is animated?

Btw. I don't like a blurring animation. :/ Get more creative pls because that's what I lacked when I created mine.
Also it's low quality. Only like 3 frames, which is too choppy. Sry, I'm very picky when it comes to quality.
However I think your mouth and nose look better than in mine.

I know :nude: is animated, I meant that a non-animated would be better for a smiley imo than an animated one would be.
Here's the 20x20 png of the original:
Is there a limit on filesize for custom smilies? Hope it's under 12.3kb.

Anyways, here ya go:
I don't have a program or something to cycle through the hues in intervals of 10 and produce an image. Hope you like it, it was a pain to make.

Non animated is too plain and easy to make anyway. Besides, imo my current version is a good compromise because most of the time it is static but just when it starts looking boring it's flashing briefly.
And when I said animation I didn't mean applying random filters. I did that already, and I find the end result (:nude:) to be cheesy. I want something more interesting. There was a reason I described what it is. The animation should have something to do with the baby the smiley represents.
I thought more along the lines of turning/wiggling its head or the headphones emanating bass waves. As I said, get creative. (I don't consider trying out a set of predefined effects being creative)

Max size is 6kB (check the item description)

Anyways, thanks for your effort so far, but I hope you now have an idea of what I'm looking for.

Protip: Don't trust the resizer. It's shit, it kills all details and this is not suited for icons.
Resize it, then compare with the big picture and readd all the details manually:

Trusting the resizer worked for your baby ;)
Yours:
Mine:
Honestly, I think that yours adds too many details, and makes it hard to see what the image is supposed to be, but that's just me.

I haven't slept more than 2 hours in the past 24, so I'm kinda dead for ideas. I'm gonna go take a nap, maybe I'll have something when I come back.
