Let's Make Smilies!

She hasn't seen it yet - her life is in chaos, with retirement and moving back to America.  Hopefully soon - but the violent adventure part is not the part of Trek that appeals to girls, so she'll only like it so much.

Kirk did not.  He only faced a Romulan Bird of prey once, and it self-destructed when he beat it.  Balance of Terror is blatantly ripped off from based on a couple of WWII destroyer-chases-sub movies - you'd love it.


Dunno what good alphabetizing smilies would do - ours don't display showing the code under...

I am thinking about your requests, Jarl.  Sometimes I need to let things percolate in the back of my head until a good idea for how to portray them pops out.

[Rusty Edge]

Thanks. Just thought I'd offer.   This is really fun to watch!

[JarlWolf]

Actually, I could try making one myself... it is just matter of producing the frames...

Whats the size specifications for this?

[Buster's Uncle]

There isn't one.  However, if you can keep  it down to 20 pixels tall so as not to mess up line spacing in posts much, and the motion to the sides, wide isn't a problem; that would be ideal.

[Buster's Uncle]

...So 20x20 is the base value to shoot for, but again, more width than that is far less of a problem.  45 pixels tall is roughly the upper limit.  Files should try to be as small as feasible both in physical size and bytes.  You've got the tutorials I've posted in this thread to educate you on the process, which is far, far more help than I ever had.

Mylochka has observed a need for the existence of a 'herding cats' smilie.  I have little idea how to draw such a thing as yet.

[Buster's Uncle]

I wasn't really satisfied with the Rom peal-off, so let's try this:

[JarlWolf]

For the herding cats one, maybe draw a person with a shepherd's crook trying to goad a cat to follow him, and it just sitting there, the person with a frustrated facial expression.

[Buster's Uncle]

I was vaguely thinking of a cluster of tiny cat faces, a little like , but smaller, and a broom...

Someone should do a miniature morgan smilie doing jumping jacks with red and white long sleeve gym clothes on . Think the longevity vaccine secret project video except that Morgan's business suit is replaced with gym clothes.

Or at least doing a flip?  I like.  I like a LOT.  Better than a head counting money.  This may actually happen.

What about making a smilie for native life? It could be a simple mindworm boil? Does the concept of a simple native life drawing even exist?

Sure.  Units.pcx. 



Tell me more.  Does it do anything?  What would the smilie stand for?  Funny jokes are acceptable, so think of smilie code and hovertext...

That sounds correct. It could represent :Morgan Joke:. I know of several examples from different users.

[Buster's Uncle]

All the leader smilies are jokes.  How about ;moroblics and "Profit from fitness" as hovertext?

Now - any more feedback about the NL smilie?

[Dio]

I do not have anything for the native life smilie. However, I am thinking about smilies for Yang and Zakharov. My thoughts for Yang have included him doing meditation, him doing the whip smilie, or perhaps the face of Yang replacing the red face in the "worship the king" smilie. You could the replace the nutz smilie or add to it by having Zakharov holding a beaker while having that crazy look on his face.

Time to google for a jumping jacks smilie to alter...
