Smiley art

gillrmn

I really don't like the new art with smileys, rather than cry about it I thought why not try to do something about it. So I was wondering if it would be possible later on to add custom smileys.

For this, I was thinking of making D&D like smileys - with cartoony but visible wizards, bards, gnomes etc. I will start making some right away and keep this thread for links/etc. when I am finished making those.

The idea for corresponding smileys is. I plan to make them not bigger than bears but I need to try them to see if they are visible:-
Bear smiley [text after b:] - Idea to make D&D smiley
laugh - A caped laughing dwarf adventurer
pleased - Found a treasure (just face of adventurer with some coins glowing below)
victory - Fighter posing V with blood on sword (should be simple)
dirty - Rogue w/ dagger backstabbing (no idea ave to think this hard)
bye - Generic Wizard teleporting out
sad - No idea yet
angry - Wizard throwing fireball
surrender - Rogue held (grabbed by bigby like hand)
cold - Singing gnome bard gets interrupted with sneeze (throwing a ooze? no maybe not visual, just face and sneeze with guitar)
nosebleed - Dragonborne throwing a fireball but nose bleeding after the spell.
bored - Tiefling with a toy (? lol outrageous!)
shy - Elf hiding behind tree
beatenup - Wizard with wounds
puzzled - Half-orc Barbarian holding a book
fatb - ??? what i this?
sleep - Anyone with zzz (would be nice to have a bard singing in sleep i think)
beg - No idea, maybe an idetifiable NPC begging for help
avoid - Rogue tumbling to avoid a hit
heart - bard singing with CHA and heart written behind
faint - ?
scorn - Tiefling
beatup - Rogue posing with a beatup kobold
question - A human wizard with book and ?
chuckle - rogue chuckling while tossing gold coins
thanks - A cleric thanking an unknown patron for gold donated to temple
cute - A tiefling paladin
kiss - A skeleton kissing (Kiss of death)
shocked - A fighter electrocuted with a bolt
shutup - A silenced wizard (just "..." in a comic box)
cry - Dragon (unseen) fries the bard's guitar and bard cries.
sweat - Rogue cutting green wire vs red wire and sweating
flower - Just thinking of tulip
spit - Dragon spitting a sword?
embarrass - Bard prepares to pull out the rapier - its broken.
tired - halfling walking uphill in a chainmail and broadsword with inventory
infuriated - Fighter, just as their cleric/partymember dies
shedtear - crying for a dead member (would be tough)
mischievous - ???
worried - Cleric facing someone with mace
quiet - Rogue in move silently crouching kind of position
cool - Tiefling with fireball in sunglasses
surprised - halfling with dagger on seeing a sleeping dragon

Currently working on

laugh - laughing dwarf adventurer with beer

pleased - Found a treasure (just face of adventurer with some coins glowing below)

victory - Fighter posing V with blood on sword (should be simple)


If anyone else likes to pick any, just list them so I leave them.
And feel free to change the idea to what you see fit, but should be D&D themed.

haha. thanks. but I didn't have to merge my accounts so I had a headstart
I am hoping more people take up them as a project, or maybe someone good at pixel drawing.

What I had made were large drawings which become useless when scaled to 35x35 pixels. Big pictures are tough to use. So it is taking time *sigh* and constant looking over the shoulder while working isn't helping.

I started back on this project as stories are going nowhere. Please have a look and comment which ones are ok and which ones are not.

p.s. I am working on them now so will take around a few hours to convert and upload them all.
