JardinPrayer's Smilie Plea!

[JardinPrayer]

I know some of you out there are smilie gurus. It's time Jardin Prayer had her own. Would one of you be willing to step up and offer to make it for me? I've got money.

[Alien]

I notice you only say you have money, not that you intend giving anyone any!

Anyway, here's a smiley ....

:-)

Oh! You wanted one of those sexy animated thingies? Sorry, I don't know about those.

[JardinPrayer]

Hmmm...no girlish titter smiley. Still, the thought is there, Alien!

No one will champion this damsel in distress? Where are my buds?

[GrayPilgrim]

okay so my guess is you probably don't care for any of those, but I needed a chance to use my new custom smilies

[JardinPrayer]

GrayPilgrim...did you forget your Lithium today? Goodness!

:help:

[GrayPilgrim]

no, the website I found those on had mostly violent smilies, I got a chuckle out of those, and then the obscence ones well, most of them included flipin' the bird, I don't recomend typing "smilies" into Google.

[JardinPrayer]

Yes, yes, but where are our very own smilie designers? Who's office do I have to camp in front of to get one of these?

[Xmansmommy]

:lol:

[JardinPrayer]

Oh sure...laugh at the poor deprived gal! That's easy to do when you've already got your own smilie!

:wink:

Waaaahhhhhhh, Ricky!

[bar Jonah]

For one thing, you need at least a concept for the smiley.

Your name means Garden Prayer.

It occurs to me you could have a beautiful vine arching over an animated praying smiley, or little flowers around it, or a crown of flowers on the praying smiley....

Just a thought. :rirainbow:

[Sheepdog]

you will become a Christian. resistance is futile :borg:

[Sheepdog]

in all seriousness, what kind of smillie do you want. i honestly can't think of a design that fits you. i was thinking cyborg monkey or trogdor, but those don't seem to fit :shrug:

[JardinPrayer]

Thanks for the suggestions, guys. Jim: Very sweet. Sheepdog: Very scary!

I had a thought about the existing :pray: sitting in a little nest of flowers, but that may be too intricate. I've been wavering like crazy about another notion: a profile of a smilie kneeling in prayer at a rock like Gesthename...which is where my nic comes from. I'm sorta thinking that may be too in-your-face...a Jesus smilie could upset some folks and that is the last thing I want to do. I'm supposed to be the "gentle voice" of TWeb, after all.

I'd also be willing to take suggestions from those who have gotten to know me (like Jim) - the smilie doesn't have to match the nic if it says "me."

I'm not really a trogdor kinda gal, if you know what I mean. :teeth:

[Bill the Cat]

Hey Jardin, Tomatoes come from gardens right??

How about this :tom:

[JardinPrayer]

You guys are just terrible. I love you all.

[yxboom]

Do you like the new Comp Lab Contest Winner Icon :bunny:

[Solly]

Don't you have to be a mod (or ex-mod in Vinny's case) to have a personal smilie?

[JardinPrayer]

yxboom:

In fact, I do, even though I didn't know it had been updated until your post prompted me to hit my "refresh" button.


Solly:

Is that the rule, Solly? I didn't think LaRubia was a mod, but I haven't checked up on that. Didn't Bill the Cat have his smilie before he became a mod? Is Mononoke a mod? How scary.

I don't wanna break any rules...if I'm not allowed one, perhaps I can change the request to simply wanting a custom custom smilie.

Not that anyone is chomping at the bit to design this for me.

:yx: :gim: :ddw: :sher: :cir: :mononoke: :solly: wannabe.

what, burninating the countryside just isn't your thing?

i can't do animations, but i could throw together the flowery one.

[JardinPrayer]

Thanks! That's somewhere to start, anyway. Then, I suppose, I just would need to find out if I can have it added as a standard smilie or if I should just be a good girl and keep it as a custom smilie.

For all your teasing, SD, you're okay! :thumb:

[Sheepdog]

cool. (hey, i only tease people i like.)

only thing is, i don't have a whole lot of free time right now, so i am not sure when exactly i can get around to work on it. if you find another, or think of a design you'd prefer, let me know.

Hey Jardin, when I got mine, Boom made it kind of "the last time I'm gonna do this" He said no more non mod smilies, but he may still be flexible. How about this one for you??

:ahem: Yeah, and :mm: and :yog: were added after that! :shifty:

SIGH! This all started because of little old :xmm:....who can't even get any hair :sad:

[Xmansmommy]

I think that smiley is perfect for Lynn! :thumb:

:eek:

[themuzicman]

Not good? :doh:

[Xmansmommy]

Since you asked... :no:! :egad:

[themuzicman]

OK, so maybe that's not the "gentle voice" she was looking for.. :lmbo:

[Xmansmommy]

:lmbo:!!! Thanks for not :whack: me for answering your question. :brow:

[JardinPrayer]

You crack me up, Michael! But, at least you produced something!

Sounds like I oughta give up on this prospect...didn't realize it was a political hotbed!

If SD does come through or someone else has a fit of kindness and makes one for me Hamster, I'll just use it as a custom smilie and personal sig.

Thanks for all your input, guys.

[JardinPrayer]

BTW, I do not think Bill's choice is good for me. I don't have a devilish bone in my body. (Where's that barely holding in laughter smilie?)


*That wasn't me teasing Boom in PalTalk. It was my evil twin.

[themuzicman]

And it wasn't you in "Once upon a time in Mexico," either?

But there is no "no more mod smilies" rule. Boom said there would be no more non-mod smilies.

In fact, every moderator has a smiley, and will probably be added as we get more mods till he start duplicating smilies. :dufus:

[JardinPrayer]

Oh. >sigh<

It's the DDW sigh!!!

You are still loved Jardin!!! :love2:

[themuzicman]

OK... uh...

[JardinPrayer]

Thanks Bill.

Michael, you continue to terrify me. :eek:

[JardinPrayer]

Just thought of a cool one, related to the angel/devil smilie Bill and Linda would be so good for me.

:pray: with a little red tail that keeps sneaking out from behind and getting swatted back (a la the cowardly lion).

Wish I knew how to do this myself. Anyone know of a tutorial on it? Maybe that's my solution.

[themuzicman]

You need an image drawer and a gif animator. You need individual frames of each motion, and then you put the frame together in order in the animator.

It's not hard, but it is time consuming.

WHat's wrong with the gerbil?

:teeth:

[JardinPrayer]

I PMed him asking about the tutorial. After reading the posts here, I don't really feel I can ask him or anyone else to make one for me.

Then again, I did say I have money in the first post. Bids?

[Sheepdog]

hey Jardin, does this look like one you want? i didn't make it i hocked if off of the CAA boards

http://www.christiananime.net/forums/images/smilies/glomp.gif

[JardinPrayer]

Not really "me." Thanks, though.

[Xmansmommy]

Howzabout this one??? :brow:

[JardinPrayer]

Oh my! That's frightening!!!

[JardinPrayer]

Actually, someone was nice enough to find this for me: :JP: . It's purple and feminine, and says, "I'm sooooooooo cute an innocent (right)." Sounds like me. I'm adopting it as my official smilie effective immediately (until something else comes along !)

:JP:

[Xmansmommy]

Awwww....I thought that one was perfect for you. I thought of you specifically when I first seen it :frown:

[JardinPrayer]

I guess I'm feeling slightly lower key today. I'll hold it in reserve - surely there are days when I'll relish using it! :JP:

[Xmansmommy]

Only if you wish sister. I thought it was cute ...in a devilish kinda way. :hamster:

[JardinPrayer]

Like me! Easy to see how you made the connection!

Ergh. I have been trying to make smileys. But I am the worst smiley creator on the planet. I don't know, you would think my medicore talent with manipulating images would carry over into GIF format but.. man, just ask Dee Dee when I tried to make that jumping horse thingy. :eek:

Making animations is a whole new game. I usually just manip them to be unifrom but I have made a few from scratch like my most recent one: :nah:

Is that what the smiley conveys or what happened? :huh:

[$cirisme]

Personally, the eyes get too big too fast

Compare :nah: to :shocked:

Looking at it in ImageReady, the eyes aren't big enough, frame 12 needs to show them even larger, not smaller :huh:

Oh! I love it!!!! It's WONDERFUL!!!!!!! THANK YOU!!!!!

Cirisme is my new favorite human being on the whole planet!!!

Of course, I'll miss the little purple flirt smilie, but I'll hold it in reserve for special occasions. I'll also keep the RightIdea version in my bag o' tricks....never know when that might come in handy! Thanks, Jim! That was awesome. (But, if I use that one, people will think we're...you know...)

AJ RUUUUUUUUUUULLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSS!

[JardinPrayer]

Hey, Hamster...give yourself a break, sweetie. I had to swallow a lot of pride to ask anyone to do this for me...since I fancy myself a manip whiz. Now that I know it's done in Image Ready, I may try my hand at it.

None of this changes the fact that you are adorable, brilliant, and a whole lotta fun to be around.

:garden:

[yxboom]

I took AJ's smiley and added a little sumptin sumptin.

[Xmansmommy]

Uhhhh what is that? :hrm:

[yxboom]

Its a wicked ear hair.

[Xmansmommy]

:tongue:

[JardinPrayer]

I know what it is....exactly what I asked for!!!!!!

I'll make that my alternative official smilie. In serious posts, I'll just be sweet l'il me. In those "other" posts, like in the dorm or the threads that get shut down because of me, I'll use boom's.

Who'd've thought I'd end up with 2 custom smilies!

Shall I keep them as customs or will they end up in the smilies bar?

:garden:

[bar Jonah]

:hrm:

[yxboom]

If you are going to keep it you need to refresh and download the new one cause I corrected the timing on the whack.

If you want it as a standard smiley you have to convince :gim: like everyone else.

[JardinPrayer]

Thanks for putting the effort in, guys! I'm really so appreciative!

I'll just keep them as customs right now...till I decide on my true persona.

Do you think there's any connection between my becomming a TWeb tither and the sudden plethora of custom smilies in my honor? Oh...that couldn't be! :gardendevil:
