Description Hi
So here is my next emote "style". It's just bigger

Might not interest a lot of people, but let me explain why I won't use the previous 15*15 anymore.
I'm not creating emotes for their chat abilities. They are surely great for making a chat room far more interesting and apealing. But their size have been chosen manly because it fits well in a text. It's not too high.
My emotes aren't done to be used in a text. Hopefuly, they are telling a story, entertaining. So, the bigger the better. It might be harder, but The one who's looking at my emotes doesn't mind in a first step if it's hard or not. It's only something that has to appeal. If it's too small, i noticed several time that I hadn't enough place to develop as I wanted my expressions.
So, for my use, bigger emotes are surely better.

And more than once, some friend told me they were too small to appreciate them completly

It's 19*19px.

What do you think about it ?

Moved the light source thanks to =dhikssy 's advices.
I think it looks really better. You ?

will be interesting to see some animation with these big emotes There is definitely some advantage with the bigger size in regards to more advanced and detailed facial expressions. I think they will in general take more time to animate compared to the 15x15 emotes though.
What size are the hands btw? 3x3?

JulienPradet In reply to CookiemagiK [2010-11-09 18:48:52 +0000 UTC]

Yes, it's some 3*3 I'm pretty proud about the shape of it since usually all my 3*3 are more squares than circles D:
Yes it'll be longer, but I hope that I won't loose patience and motivation ^^

Well i think it's good emote but here's some critique:
the shading of pixel art should have a lightning, which is left or right. i mean that the lighter color should be on right or left! and not in center. and that's it (and sorry if i am that ugly in english )
*correct me if i am wrong *

JulienPradet In reply to dhik-a [2010-11-09 14:06:54 +0000 UTC]

I think I understand what you mean ^^ You're talking about pillow shading ?
Actually, the shading isn't supposed to be with the lightning exactly on the center [link]
I'm not sure if I'm correct But that's how I'm seeing it

(For the ugly english, don't bother yourself too much, I'm uglier )

I was going to said "or wrote" pillow shading, but i'm afraid i'm wrong and for the lightning, i saw many may many tutorial like `LeoLeonardo , ~luckylinx etc said that the lightning should be on left or right (well they aren't saying it, but i checked it and then they prefer the lightning on left ) *well that's how i'm seeing*

Je trouve ta démarche très intéressante, parce qu'elle est totalement en accord avec ce que tu peux présenter dans ta galerie (de vraies histoires, comme tu le dis d'ailleurs ^^). Tu vas utiliser ce nouveau style pour tes longues anim' alors ? : ) en tout cas ce premier émote a vraiment quelque chose, j'ai hâte de voir ce que tu nous montreras ensuite \o/

Synfull [2010-11-08 17:24:40 +0000 UTC]

personally i see nothing wrong with using 15x15 in non-chat based emotes. Anything larger just looks bloated, or creates a sense of perspective (as it looks closer to the screen)

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

JulienPradet In reply to Synfull [2010-11-08 17:35:02 +0000 UTC]

Maybe it's because we're used to it
And I don't say there's something wrong I just think it doesn't fits with my use.
I consider it as... a different shading style where the size changes too. I mean, there are different shading style. Where the color and all changes. Now, I consider it differently. The size of the emotes are considered as a part of the shading.

For the sense of perspective, I think that it's the case if there's an other smaller emote behind it. But if there's only a 19*19 px emote in the image, the eye will be used to it.

i love it it would need more skill to make because its bigger but it has many more possibilities than the 15 by 15 because it is big
