	Thanks. I'm currently toying with some variants: Which outline and rimlight variant do you like most? Also working on a new set of emotigobs, can't decide on the brightness and saturation palette though. Edited by mikemayday - 14 January 2011 at 3:06pm

	second to last. might could add some rimlighting in a few spots on it (it has a nice effect but should maybe be used sparingly), but personally I find the other variants to be a bit excessive in its application. volumes read better on 2nd to last as well, imo.

	Never commented when adding to the gallery. Its great. Agree about 2nd to last. One of the nostrils doesn't match the other. Pointier (more triangular) on the tiny sprite.

	*Originally posted by jalonso* No crying tears? Never fear, there's plenty of emotigobs left to redo! *Originally posted by jalonso* I would make tongue purple/magenta. Like this? Or even more? *Originally posted by jalonso* laughing needs eyes horizontal like so >>>> Ah, but that's another type of laugh! Edited by mikemayday - 17 January 2011 at 5:00pm

	*Originally posted by mikemayday* Never fear, there's plenty of emotigobs left to redo! *Originally posted by mikemayday* Like this? Or even more? reds = human / purple or some other color = more alien. It is a better looking tongue tho. Maybe forked? *Originally posted by mikemayday* Ah, but that's another type of laugh! nvm, carry on! Edited by jalonso - 17 January 2011 at 5:21pm

	And the ones I can't take credit for (actually some of the above are also remade traditional emoticons but whatevs, I'm sure you'll know'em when you see'em): If you have any suggestions- speak now or forever... erm, nevermind, I'll accept suggestions later on as well. I'm also considering switching the palette of the avatar to something similar: This would give me a total 16 colours, so still pretty good for a colour whore like me. Whaddaya think?

	A few more I forgot: So which avatar looks better? I think the brighter one looks better on a bright background.
