Flux, you might find a comparison of the attached with your original creation educational; I opened the file, and it's 14 empty pixels taller than it needed to be, is the main shortcoming.

Smilies need to be as short as possible; the 20 tall I mainly indulge myself to work with is actually taller than standard text, and throws off the line spacing a little.  40 pixels tall is way too much, barring some novelty appeal and you can't figure out how to make it work any shorter.

-Wider than 20 is way less of a problem, though I shaved off two empty pixels worth of width, because, empty.  Notice that the filesize is thereby reduced, also good for optimal smilies.

Ahh, you're right. That makes sense. I gave myself too much space.

Also, you messed up the fps. It really can't matter much, though. Except you installed it. His eyes moves too fast. :P

See also the edit I was still adding when you quoted.

I don't know why the eyeshift frame is playing so fast; I didn't touch the timing, which is still set at half a second.

This eye movement frame is driving me crazy.

Since I've nothing better to do, I'll take a smilie request.

-Also, how about that set? Is there anything else I need to make for it?

Your own version of everything in the pop-up, maybe?

You mean the "more?"
Oh, don't worry, I have an excuse to keep myself from having to do that many smilies.
"Those aren't the basic emotions. That is your unique work, and my pop-up must be unique as well."
I'll do the nod I guess? It works better on a circular smilie, at least the way you did it.

-And the title. So you DO think I'm a butthole? Or at least what comes out of one?

And finally, a title I like. Decidedly the best way to keep it is to say nothing else.

Attempted a triangular template. It looks better than I thought it would.
EDIT: I forgot to index. Oh well?
