dA Community Emoteby `Mirz123

Customization / Emoticons / Visual Purpose Emotes

This WAS my Round 2 entry for the Multi-Round Drop-Out Emoticon Contest (i.e. Tournament) hosted by ~DryBones44. [link] However, i confused the theme. I thought it was regular "Community" and it was more specifically "Emoticon Community". So, my general rainbow version is now the official the entry. You can see it below.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I tell you, when I heard the theme, I had absolutely no idea what I was going to do. I thought to do a group all holding hands and such, but that seems a little done-already. Then I thought of doing something with emotes around a globe, which was better, but really didn't convey what I picture as online communities. Then I thought, instead of a regular globe, how about a symbolic internet globe, which you see on a lot of desktop icons.

Originally, I was going to do a generic globe with colored emotes. But then it occurred to me it would be cool if there was a globe in dA colors, and even better if I could somehow incorporate the logo into it. Particularly with dA's 11th birthday coming up. So, after a bit of wrangling, this is what I came up with.

I decided to go with yellow emotes all around as it tied in much nicer with the dA color scheme than a rainbow. I also chose to forego the forward facing smile expression and instead thought it would be more appropriate if the emotes were focusing inwards, hence focusing on their community.

Since I wanted to make a version of this for general use, too, I did go ahead and make my original version, which you can find in my Scraps.

Aww, thank you, dear!

Interesting emote. They look like they are focusing on a basketball for some reason. Must be the curves in the middle.

`Mirz123 Jul 27, 2011

Yeah. Actually, I tried to vary them a bit because it did remind me of a basketball. But, with such a small circle, it was unavoidable to some degree. The blue one looks less so.
