feel free to express your questions or suggestions about the smilies contest
in this thread.

Do i need to split my smilies up and add the background so that they work with the forum or can i do all that after/if i win

it'll be helpful if you could post each smiley as separate image, thus it
would be easier to handle them...

aside from this you might make the background transparent...!

(please check out the pm i've sent you)

Also, a non entry piece... my favourite Abandonia.com smilies in a new colour!

What program do you recommend for creating smilies?

Thx

MS Paint

MS Paint is good enough for making simply pictures.
For animation I suggest EAZY GIF animator - you get a trial version (you can run the program 30 times).

yes, MS Paint will do fine. other than this, you could use Photoshop, Fireworks,
or any similar program at your disposal. generally, any software for pixel drawing
will be suitable for static images. for animated ones you will have to use specific

progs, as Fireworks, Gif Construction Set 32 or - as mentioned - Eazy Gif Animator...

hello there, i just thought it's time to dig out this thread and remind you that
the contest will be finished tomorrow evening. if anybody still indents to make
a submission feel free to do so.
