muy bueno para novatooos!!!
me encantan estos emoticones...
PD:
en ves de usar ese degradado te recomiendo usar el radial (el que es como un circulo)

One question. How do you use emoticons in deviantART? Is it just html or what?

Jamaal10 In reply to Hurricane0 [2009-11-28 05:35:11 +0000 UTC]

You need to submit them and then just use the thumb code that dA provides.

Drodengera In reply to Jamaal10 [2010-04-09 22:51:15 +0000 UTC]

oh. Sorry. I meant how do you use your emoticon if you aren't a member of DA?

Jamaal10 In reply to Drodengera [2010-04-09 22:57:16 +0000 UTC]

It's just a tutorial, so anyone can view it. If they want to use an emoticon, they'd just have to make one. Hope that's what you're meaning!

Drodengera In reply to Jamaal10 [2010-04-09 23:00:07 +0000 UTC]

well, actually I mean like, if you make an emoticon, how do you use it. But how do you use it if you are not a member of DA. I don't have a subscription.

This is really awesome. The cropping thing can be a little unuseful at times making it to big but not cropping can make it to small. But anyways. Its awesome. And by chance if you have any information on animation on mac please tell me. * favorites *

Orbitdum1 [2008-03-11 02:00:18 +0000 UTC]

Helpful and uncomplicated, however I've asked around and have yet to get an answer on the following question perhaps you can help me: Is there any way to grab the entire emoticon (all the layers) and move (the eyes mouth hands body) as a whole? That would really help me on my way to making my emoticons walk, jump, etc. across the "stage" thank you for your consideration in advance. Oh and check out my first emoticon on my page (it's the newest deviation) lemme know what you think. Hit me back thanks again.

Jamaal10 In reply to Orbitdum1 [2008-03-11 02:11:19 +0000 UTC]

First off, thanks for the ! Second, your emoticons look awesome. I love the clapper!

As far as your question goes, if you want to move the entire thing, you can just highlight all of the layers (Ctrl+click on each) and then press Ctrl+T. That will pop up the free transform tool and allow you to move it as a whole.

aa XD. it's so useful ^^. But um XD. i need to ask you something, when I filled in the white, some white went on the outside <.< [i'm really new at photoshop ] ummmmmmm how do i not have it out XD?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Jamaal10 In reply to xXMonsterManiacXx [2008-01-30 18:57:00 +0000 UTC]

If you use "fill", it will get outside the lines. It's best to just color it in with the pencil tool.

Takes a little longer, but looks much better.
