oh great! These can be very useful.
and btw. Here's my skeleton. if Midnighters wants to, I'll delete it. No problem.

 

[Herian]

Hmm, I like that Skeleton. I just like it. But for Doom Guard...

If I were you, I'd change the color of those 1 pixel 'columns' near its mouth on both sides to something very dark. It stands out too much, although it has no reason to be so light.

 

[Jaret]

well... I'm working on a new Doomguard. It has the detail of the rest of his team (That is my emoticons)

If I were you, I'd change the color of those 1 pixel 'columns' near its mouth on both sides to something very dark. It stands out too much, although it has no reason to be so light.

I'll see what I can do.

here's a wip of the doomguard:

tell me what you think.
P.S. Kinda reminds me of Grom Hellscream.

 

[Herian]

Now THAT'S a doomguard! Although, if it will smile or something, just delete those things in the bottom. Would make the face expression much more visible.
And hunalexnl, those are really good.I especially like the first.

 

[Vosty]

Hmmm.... It seems as if most or all of these should be used on the hive permanently. I hate seeing stupid orcs all the time.

I'll make it more visible, but the "horns and beard" I will not remove. It makes him so badass.

Yeah. I mean only 3 should get rep, but all of us should be able to use all of these icons.

Here's the Skeleton, better now:

 

[Vosty]

Well of course. There has to be a winner.

 

[AlienAtSystem]

Even if these emoticons arent added to the smiley pool, you can still use

 

[Jaret]

Yeah. BTW. here's the modificated redone Doomguard. Hope you like it:

well yeah. But it's much easier to find them in the icons.

That's not the same, actually... In my opinion, for an artist, it's the most awesome feeling to see their work in others' hands (or in this case - being used by others). By adding our emoticons to the list, a wider range of users would be able to add them to their posts, which would make - me, for example - really happy.

Yeah. BTW redone the Skeleton. any more suggestions? I'd love to do more, but those are the ones I remember. As stated before, my Warcraft was deleted, and there's no WE and no way for me to find some Units. Those are the ones I remember the best, how they look like. Suggestions please, because I forgot half of the creeps's names in War3. ^^

Yup, skeleton looks a lot better now. Nice job. If you want, I can take screenshots of some creeps that you could need... Just tell me some names, or at least what they look like.

 

[AlienAtSystem]

Hm, i dont understand what he is doing.

Yeah, i know that. I modifed once some beat-smileys so that they show two different races and uploaded them i a forum, but they never got really popular ^^. Makes me sad when i think about it.

As I said before, I've forgotten the names of them... the most. I would like one tuskarr, overlord... and one you like Can I make one Voidwalker my style? I really love that unit. Always did.

Hm, i dont understand what he is doing.

he's supposed to show a bit of his teeth, like he's smiling. It's looking good if you look closely enough.

 

[Herian]

Jaret, yep he does show his teeth, but it's too small to see it. And yeah it's better than the first.
Hmm, also : Maybe an Eredar? No one did that =O

 

[hunalexnl]

There you go.

 

[Just_Spectating]

finished the minimum requirement of 3
How's my third one?

 

[Squidle]

Various creeps you might want to choose:

- (Nerubian) Spider;
- Infernal, perhaps?;
- Any Dragon (Red, black, bronze, etc);
- Fel Stalker;
- Gnoll;
- Ghosts;
- Wyvern (without raider, it makes him a creep);
- Crabs;
- Satyr.

Hm, i dont understand what he is doing.

Neither do I, but he looks bad ass.


@ hunalexnl:

Your voidwalkers are awesome! The technique you use, or the program, is far the best way to animate emoticons. Btw, Dutch owns! Too bad we didn't won the wc.

EDIT: Oh, you just replied, Just_Spectating.
But I must say, your theme/unit is very, very hard. Noneoftheless, it looks amazing! Idea for a new one:

Something with that face, ye know.

 

[Mr.Goblin]

I don't know if I should...

but here's a WIP.. and I know that some people might use my idea to make their own..

but anyway.. :\

You shouldn't indeed. All I see is epicness, got no tips for them..
And I hope people won't steal your idea.

GREAT work, once again.

Wow, the 3rd one looks fucking awesome! I don't know what's he doing (I think he's something like angry or mad) But who cares? It looks fucking epic.

I don't know if I should...

Lol great idea. Kinda reminds me of Zelda on SNES and Southpark... you know why

[L_Lawliet]

[Panda]

Awesome guys! these all look amazing, anyway is there a judge on this? id be happy to judge.

 

[supertoinkz]

WiP, I think I exaggerated a bit :/

Also, why I am not in the contestant list :/

 

[hunalexnl]

Aww, don't even mention it, I was so disappointed when it ended like that... I'm not a big football fan, but I really wanted NL to win... Oh well. ;(
Thanks for the compliment, I'm glad you like my Voidwalkers!

 

[supertoinkz]

Okay, something shit happened. I accidentally saved the base image into 40x40 (I did the emoticons in 400x400). Now, I'll thrive editing them in smaller format >_>

 

[Deolrin]

supertoinkz... Pixel art is actually most of the times made in the original size. Why did you make them in 400x400 anyways? :/

 

[L_Lawliet]

looks like i'm getting lazy animating them :/ good luck guys. as far as i can see your products, they are incredibly awesome

hum thanks for the feedback.. I'll try my best, but I don't promis anything since it's only the second time I'm making animations with photoshop.

 

[Jaret]

Well... Redone the maiden. She's now a little more "wow-stylish", because I didn't find the war3 one. Who cares, Here she is. (Warning. Hotness factor has drastically risen. Only intended for ppl from 1 to 101 years old):

Edit 2: Here's the animated gif. I've made it to be the same as the other maiden, well... except for the graphics ^^:

And, here's the link to my post containing all my emoticons (well... for the contest, y'know?):


Btw here're the emoticons I'm gonna use in any forum^^:

@Mr.Goblin:
Damn it! You made my competition harder! Awesome emoticons

 

[Kuhneghetz]

One side of that succubus's hair stands out more than the other side.

 

[Jaret]

One side of that succubus's hair stands out more than the other side.

I tried to keep them as different as possible. But.. different doesn't mean necesserely better. Gonna remake that.

edit 1: Done:

 

[Lich Prince]

Damn thats one bad-ass succubus emoticon...Now how am I gonna choose between voting for you or hunalexnl...

Outland creeps rock btw.

Well... everyone would say to vote for themselves... But me not. There are plenty of other people who do awesome emoticons. Don't consider only me and hunalexnl as the only two options. Of course I would love to get the 1st place and 40 rep, but... well... The only thing that matters is getting these F***ing orcs grin:) to be replaced by much better emoticons. As you can see in my sig. I just reffered to those annoying orcs. All mine are better than these orcs. All Hunalexnl's entries are better than these orcs. Everyone here has got better emoticons then these orcs. This shouldn't be a victory for me, nor for hunalexnl, nor for Dan van Ohllus, nor for M0rbid, Midnighters, Just_Spectating or anyone participating in this contest... It will be a victory for... The Hive Community! (People hand clap)

Final Submission Post



1. Normal
2. Headshake
3. Anger
4. Cold

 

[Deolrin]

Jaret, fairly sure that the winner's emoticons will be ADDED to the list like with previous contests, not replace the current one. Those emoticons were made by people as well, you know. Albeit being made in like... 2001 or something.

 

[hunalexnl]

speaking of which
updated

View attachment 86022View attachment 86023
to a more Angryish emote rather than, nothing really
and added a cold emote.

If I were you, I'd change the shape of the ice a little bit... Ice doesn't behave like you made it - I think. Red pixels indicate what I'm talking about.
Try to zoom in or something... It's hard to see. ;D

 

[Just_Spectating]

hows that?

 

[hunalexnl]

hows that?
View attachment 86037

Yup, that's more like it. You know, icicles are wider at the top, and slowly disappear to the bottom. They should have the shape of a triangle. Considering that, you might want to change the two in the middle as well...

@Debode:
I just said that people would stop using these low-qualities, and start using ours around here. I don't really like those orcs. ofcourse there're gonna be people still using the orcs, but... well... who cares?

@Just_Spectating:
I think you should make the 2 icicles in the middle a little thinner to the top, so it would be a little more realistic ( I see hunalexnl said the same ). The angry one looks more angry than before, which is rly good.

BTW. I finally made the problem of having no warcraft to an end... I'll just use my other 2 pc's. I rly hate it that some pc's are retarded, and only do what they do the best... Destroy.

 

[Panda]

*Does this need a a judge? (if so) im willing to help.

 

[Deolrin]

Oh, like FrIkY's high quality Pandaren emoticons? Guess what, most people still use the oldschool Orc emoticons. No one really made a set of like 15 icons, one for each 'emote'), , , D:, ^^, (lol), etc).

 

[Just_Spectating]

better?

 

[Cweener]

Just_Spectating yes, IMO.
Lol, Look at your posts.

 

[Pyritie]

I don't mind the orcs because they're simple, fit the color scheme, and it's easy to see what emotion they're expressing. And that's ideal for an emoticon - it doesn't matter how fancy it is; if you can't see what it's doing, then it's just an image.
