Lol ok… off I go to make some attempts at smileys (I have PS and PSP so there are no real limitations application-wise :)), I will probably post back in a few weeks if I manage anything suitable.
Thanks,
JK.
Well Soul and Eilsoe are the ones who rock and pixel art and smilies… They’d probably be able to give you some advice. 
Right lads? 
right! But the easiest way to do it is to copy the forum smilies then edit them to suit to you own personality. That’s how I did mine. I would have done my own thing but it would look like an alien. not really a smiley type 
I think that’s what they did too.
lmfao… It’s kind of fun doing this but as I said, I am really hopeless at it. I constructed this guy on multiple layers so that I could edit his face/head/torso/hair separately but he looks very little like me (I have black hair and don’t have what appear to be ‘curtains’) but he certainly does look crap.
A good laugh:
And here he is when I colourised the torso layer:
I think I will go back to slowly working my way through all the Flash MX tutorials and come back to this later :).

That’s not bad at all! Why don’t you place some hair!
Lol… that weird thing on the top was hair :crazy:.
I have a grade 3 hair cut most of the time which is pretty short but it makes my life a lot easier… I have no idea how to reflect that haircut with a smiley because it just looks like a poor outline on the top of the head (especially since I have black hair) :/.
But thanks for the comment :),
JK.

Yeah, that’s a truly stunning piece of Pixel Art :). I saw it a week or two ago when it was linked to on another forum I had been visiting…
There are one or two more inside the website I think. But can you imagine how long it must take to do one of those? :-\
thats stunning! What is it with pixel pictures? How are they drawn? what software is used? is it all done in paint, or is there more to it than that?
they painted it in any image editor… PS, FW, MS PAint… what ever.
Most likely in the first two coz of the layer capability
Updates are coming soon ppl. I’ve moved into a new house and my internt is not online yet. Sorry but it will be updated soon.
Can I play??? Or should I go :trout: myslef???

Sintax - how are you doing pal? This was a great idea, here’s my little effort:
May the farce be with you.
That’s excellent! urbanscrawl, that’s a really, really good pixel person, seriously :thumb:.
Urban long time no type lol. Perfect pixel person. These are all great guys. I’m just waiting for my ISP to get me online then ii’ll be doing some much needed updates.
Please explain the concept of transparency, as it applies to a “transparent .gif”. And how do we convert our work?
Thanks
