Title: New "Invadies" icons - Opinions?
Post by: RayB on November 23, 2004, 07:50:21 pm
What do you guys think of this first draft of "Invadies" icons? These are meant to be added to this site as a set of smilies.

Saint? other mods? your opinions please. if you like 'em, I'll cut em up and email them to the admin.

Why do the 11th and 12th invadie from the left look like they're bleeding?  You should probably use blue or something...  Animating some would be a nice touch, too.  Otherwise, pretty neat looking!

thumbs up--totally suited to this forum.  And secretly I've always wanted the space invaders to bleed--makes all my lost quarters seem worth it somehow...

QUESTION: Color? Should they be colored instead of black? Should they be maybe a lighter color with a black outline?

I like em, but yes I think a colour would be nice.  Maybe yellow or green...

But what about these guys?!:

Someone mentioned Donkey Kong smileys. Here's a quickey.

I think his features are a little too small if you're looking them at a high resolution, whatcha think?  Should I go ahead and animate them?

Smiley sets are just that. They don't replace any of the other sets. Thus, it's an option in the user profile.

Seeing as Saint approves, here's the set seperated and animated:

They took longer than I expected, probably about 3 hours. Luckily, I'm sick right now and have nothing better to do!  (http://www.joymonkey.com/misc/dkong/wink.gif)

It wouldn't have taken so long, but I realized that I didn't know how to make animated GIFs with PhotoShop/ImageReady, so I learned how it was done with Corel PhotoPaint; which seems to be pretty easy at it.
Glad you like 'em.  (http://www.joymonkey.com/misc/dkong/grin.gif)

I love the DK set JoyMonkey!
Just one crit: Make the small distinction between "happy" and "grin":

 :D  and  ;D

You got the grin one spot-on, but you need to tone down the first one so it's less grin and more smile. Ya know?

Those are EXACTLY what I was thinking of!  Since 'ol DK already has so many expressions from the games, he seemed a natural!  I did picture DK Jr. for some of 'em, especially the one with the bulging eyes- Jr. had a great eye bulge whenever he died!

Awesome!

I like both sets (invaders and DK)....so you got my vote to go with them ;D

I just checked my profile; no options for Invaders or DK smileys yet...

Post by: sirwoogie on November 28, 2004, 02:57:11 pm
Sure, we'll put them both up. I'll need the invadies split up and posted or placed on a website somewhere. Here are the names to mimic:

They're neat, but some of them are hard to "read".  The expression doesn't come through and I wind up just seeing a black blob.
