Welcome to this week’s volume of so we heard you liek emotes. This is the 37th 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.
I’m sure by just watching Power miscat handling by `LeoLeonardo you can clearly see why I chose to feature it. No detail has been spared in the pixelling or animation to create a stunning piece of artwork.

2.
Sandcastle by =ManiacalMuffin is another brilliant emote submitted this week. The design and creation of the sandcastle is stunning and it;s both cute and amusing to see what each little emoticon does.

3.
:kissforehead: by ~JauntyBot is an all round adorable emote. The shading is great and the animation is smooth throughout to make a cute and usable emote.

4.
Sometimes the most random ideas make the best emotes. I can’t look at :gnomethief: by =TheBigBadFish and not giggle as the great choice of expression combined with such an amusing idea makes a brilliant emoticon.

5.
There’s something about :angelic: by *RejektedAngel that really appeals to me. The expression works perfectly and the halo and wings are both nice additions. The clouds add to the emote to make an all round cute and brilliant emoticon

Legend Revamp

Last week I launched a proposed plan for updating the emoticon legend and set a deadline of today for the suggestions. However $eStunt decided to plough ahead with the changes earlier than expected, which has meant they were all completed before the deadline closed. I apologise for this, but it changed out of my control, and on the positive side, it meant we had the emote changes even earlier. We also had over the expected number altered or added

You can find a complete list of the changes in this news article along with some of the explanations as to why some much loved emotes unfortunately had to be removed.

It’s at this point that I ask you respect all the emotes that added to the legend. Each one is someone’s work and even if you don’t approve of the change, its unfair to act negatively towards an emote just because it’s not the original. It will take is all time to adjust, but this change has been a positive one overall.

I am also happy to announce we have a number of new emote seniors within the community. Each and every one has positively affected our community and it’s great to see them awarded with seniorship. Personally I feel a lot of them were long overdue, so it’s nice to see them all receive it, especially on such an occasion. A full list of the new seniors can also be found in the news article and a list of all the seniors on dA over at ~seniorlist

Featured Stamps

As there appears to have been no new projects this week, I’ve decided to feature a few more of the great emote related stamps on dA. You can find the first set I posted back in volume 34
