Welcome to this week’s volume of so we heard you liek emotes. This is the 15th volume in a weekly series aimed towards promoting emote and emoticonists from the dA community. It features emotes posted within the past week from both well known and new emoticonists, as well as featuring some other great emote projects and contests.

Featured Emoticons:

1.
:throwknifes: by =Caeser1993 is a great emoticon to start of this week’s article. The animation is very smooth and the shading is nicely done. The movement of the screen going from side to side is also created very well, making this a all round excellent emote with an original idea.

2.
I have been rather obsessed with this emoticon ever since it appeared in my inbox. Creating a chewing action is never easy, but =Soulnova has pixelled it perfectly in :cookieplz:. The combination of a great action and cookies has made this one of my favourite emoticons from the week and earned it a place in the featured emoticon.

3.
:windmill: by =LeoLeonardo is on of the most detailed emoticons submitted this week. The pixelling of the windmill is exceptional and the addition on the emote makes it a rather amusing emoticon. Its definitely worth taking a look and don’t forget to download for the full emoticon.

4.
:scare: by ~TheRockster is one of the cutest emotes I saw this week. The shading of the emoticons is very good and the background is simple but very effective. The scare factor of the emoticon actually made is rather amusing and the animation of the walking is very smooth and unique, giving it a place in this weeks featured emotes.

5.
Although original idea emotes are great to look at, its nice to see people revamping some of the original dA emotes from time to time :confusion: by ~forestsofazarath is a brilliant revamp of . The emotes face and movements really express the idea of confusion and although text is unusual in an emote, it really adds to the effect, making this a great revamp.

Emotication

Earlier this week a new emote based club was launched under the name of ~Emotication. The club is designed to supply emoticonists with a list of tutorials, knowledge and useful information on anything related to emoticons.

The club is now fully up and running. Some additional work is still needed, but for the most part is now functioning. It is definitely worth checking out and if you feel you could lend a hand, there is a list of places in need of assistance in the journal. Below are some links directly to some of the pages

As promised, the first ‘so I herd you like interviews??’ article was posted this week. The interview was with none other than =CookiemagiK and a copy of it can be found here

The shortened version of the bucktooth code :B has now been added to the legend as is available for use all over the site . _{(Info passed on from =Waluigi-Prower)}
