Are those new smilies I see?

[Kury Wagner]

*Ahem* I logged on to TZ tonight and when to write a post, I was shocked to see Bosko off of the little list on the side. So I clicked more, and found a bunch of new smilies! Including, (get ready for this) Zim!!!! So, I'd like to thank TZ for new smilies!


Danke! (That's "thank you" in German, for those who don't know)

*sniff* None of mine will ever make it to the list.


That Zim though rocks way too much. Who did it?

- --. Now all we need is an "Ook" and an "Ahh-ahh!" and we can make a hit song.

I would really like to see some DC Animated ones.

Yay. Zim iz teh roxorz.

I made dorky little X-Men ones! :anime: They're really cute.

The world needs more :indeed:

There's Harley.

What can be used for that can't be? I can barely see the smilies on this monitor.

Another new one. Gir in a dog suit, just in time for Invader Zim: Volume 3.

I still think that the box to the right should be reserved for the emoticon smilies, whereas the character smilies are kept in the "more" box. Having Zim, Gir, and Hello Nurse right under all the circular emoticons is a little distracting.

They're very cool, but like I said when there were three other random characters at the bottom, I just don't think they fit with the regular smilies box.

"Ack" does seem a little...redundant. It's nice, but I'm not sure it conveys anything that "eek" doesn't, as StarScream said.

As long as we're on the topic of smilies, I think something that conveys laughter better than , , or :anime: , would be very useful.

Does any one else have this one in their smilie box? I have not seen any one use it.

[LightShadow1890]

Well, weird....but I wanna see a bunch of more. Like blushing....that anger mark for anime...some moving stuff. I've seen some good smilies from other boards.

It's not like they're taking the place of any "normal" emoticons, though. Besides, most people aren't going to notice the existence of new smilies if they're kept hidden away.

There's a distinct shade of difference. You'll catch on, in time.

No idea, there.

We have blushing.

...anger mark?

And I feel moving things would get annoying all too quickly.

I understand. I wasn't saying it was a big deal, I just thought the smilies box might look a little nicer if it was more consistant.

I think I've already "caught on," and I still feel that the difference is slight enough that having both of them seems a little redunant. Again, I wasn't trying to say it was a big deal, just voicing my feedback and suggestions.

Anger mark? Do you mean the popping vein (a little cross shape) characters get on their forehead when they're angry? That would be neat, but I'd think it would be too hard to convey in such a small graphic as a smiley.

[Aquadementia]

I love the Zim and Gir smilies.
Terrific use of just a few pixels.

A while back I suggested we need a D'oh! smiley, since it actually conveys an emotion that as cartoon lovers we're all familiar with. I tried making my own with limited success. Here's about my fifth and best try, still huge.



I'm sure with all the talent on Toon Zone someone else could do it much better, to the benefit of all Toon Zone kind.

Thought I'd add what may be another example.

In my mind, is for "oops! I shouldn't have said that!" The smiley Hagrid would use at least 4 times each post.

to me is complete surprize. "Wow! I didn't expect to read that!!" and one emoticon that I never use because I have never seen anyone with a square mouth.

But if you did see one with a square mouth, would you use it out of surprise?

A billion smilies are submitted to Toon Zone every week, so we have to be picky on what gets used. Usually we throw a dart or flip a coin, but this week, we decided to to arm wrestle for it. After 48 hours of sore arms and empty soda cans stock piled in the living room, we decided on Zim, Gir, and Hello Nurse. Two are from space, and one is out of this world. Va va voom.
