So, last night, I was inspired to "update" my holiday smileys, after being asked if the ones I made for CYN could be used on a friend's forum, to which I reluctantly said yes but that they were made specifically for my forum. Well, the owner ended up not wanting to take away from that uniqueness, so I ended up recreating some old smileys I'd made for a previous forum that's no longer active. I used a different technique to create a softer pixel effect with these and I really like how they turned out:  What do you all think?! |

Heh, thank you!  I may still continue to add more to this set, but after spending most of last night and this afternoon on them, I'm taking a much-needed break. I'd forgotten how "fun" they are to make (at least when they turn out the way I envision them in my head!) |

Oh, trust me, Tony Hates Everything , I know exactly what you mean. It can be very frustrating, and takes lots of practice and time to get the hang of it.  I'm really happy with how the hats turned out. It was more fun using the different technique for the softer pixel, gave a lot of room to play around in more depth with shading. I forgot, I also made these random ones that the owner requested:  (a jester hat, because the forum is based around a "kingdom" theme)     (TMNT, I'm not sure why he wanted these, lol.) Still going to try to make some more faces for the original smileys, along with a Grinch-inspired smiley and one wearing a crown. |
