We were discussing this in chat and I'd like to see what folks could come up with. They're quite easy to make, as they're just little gifs with transparent backgrounds. Most of the ones we're using right now are 16x16, but you can make yours whatever size you like, really.
If we get some good ones, then we can add the most popular to the board's smilies as well.
I'd love to make some, especially if it's easy. But...how? I haven't a clue.
They're gif images on a transparent background. So let's say you wanted to make a ghost. You start out with a circle about 16 pixels across so it's on the same scale as the ones we're using here, draw on the hanging shroud, add a little face, add any shading you want, and hit save:

If you don't have a program for doing that or don't want to bother with trying to draw something so tiny, there are also sites where you can put together smilies, like this one, but you don't have many options. It's just basically writing a sign and customizing colors.
If somebody was feeling like really getting into it, they could also go full hog like this.
Photoshop, Fireworks, or any other software for making web images will work. I don't think you can do transparent backgrounds on MS Paint, but it would hardly be a big deal for someone to make it transparent after it had been created. The only real limitation is coming up with good ideas.
So, of course, I'm currently lacking any of those.
Uh...
...look, a cat!

I will likely fail utterly, but I will try to make something. I love smilies.

This is my very poor use of google sketch up.
Hm. I tried fixing the coding for you for the first image when it didn't come up, but it still doesn't want to load.
Thanks Zuul. I have no idea what I did.Quote:

Here is my drunk smiley at 32 x 32 (the same size as Smug):

I gave your drunk smiley a transparent background.

Oh, awesome. I foresee this one showing up in chat frequently.
:drunk:
I noticed that we're just taking smileys from SA directly now, so if that's the case, please add lots more of them.
Myrna said to post this here, as a replacement for her drunky:

I told Zuul we needed a smiley pulling down the skin under its eye while sticking out its tongue. And so I have made one.

I always clean these up really nice when I save them but then when I load them onto photobucket it yucks them out. Would whoever takes care of the background be interested in cleaning them up? :(

Smiley!
ETA: I really have no idea how to make one though.

You know what we need with all these new smilies. How about a Cheshire Cat smiley that fades away to just the smile? Anyone ever seen one of those or know how make one?
