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.   |

| 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. ------------- |

 Welp, I guess this is the final version. Some emotigobs:       And these two are lovingly ripped off http://www.pixeljoint.com/pixelart/13543.htm - TheBlackMarket's fantastic smiley :   |

Continuing on, not too happy with the laugh icon (looks more like he's talking):

Or even more?reds = human / purple or some other color = more alien. It is a better looking tongue tho. Maybe forked?

                                     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. |
