New Emotes/New Emote Maker?

[Shiki 5,855]

I frequent many forums across the internet, only this one and another being pony-related. This is probably my favourite forum out of all of them, because the people are lovely, the site is aesthetically pleasing, and there's always something to do. There is, one thing, that I kind of feel is lacking, and that is the amount of emotes available to the users.

 

The other pony forum that I (hardly) go on has a very long list of emotes for use. There's about 8 for each mane 6 character, 3 for all the popular background ponies, and tons of randoms. I'm not asking for another hundred emotes that won't go to use at all, because that would be a waste; I am asking only for, say, 10 more or so, that are all unique in their own way. I would be happy to draw them, myself. Now that I have Adobe Illustrator CS6, I could easily draw the emotes that I think would be a nice addition to the list that's available now. I would stick with the circular shape for the most part, because the ones we have now are already very cute.

 

Here are some examples of some images I would personally change into suitable, circle-shaped emotes for this site.

 

This would be some kind of nervousness/uh-oh emote.

 

This would obviously be some kind of utter confusion/questioning something emote..

 

Obviously trolling/"umadbro?" kind of thing. May not want to add THIS one because it may encourage trollers. :J

 

Also, I could throw together a kind of ":/" face with a random pony. There's just a few emotions/feelings that aren't being implemented that would be kind of nice to have added.

 

 

Also, it could be useful for an "official emote suggestion" or something of the sort (I could make it!), if this would go through, though I don't really know if that would be all that necessary. So yes, I am pretty much asking to have some of the responsibility of adding more emotes to the site. I don't really see anyone doing anything on this topic (though, maybe I'm wrong?), so I would be happy to step up to the plate (I mean, I totally have enough free time).

 

With that said, I would greatly appreciate any kind of response, whether being horribly turned down or given an a-okay, and would be more than happy to answer any questions needed or send any demo/examples of my work!

I'd like to see this one:

Be changed with this:

 

....just the face though xD

Emotes never seem to get touched and that really should change, in my opinion. Never any updates, never any changes, nothing. I think it'd be swell to have some changes or additions sometime.

While I'm not super fond of all of the emotes here, I do like that they all have a consistent style to them. Personally, if we were to add more I'd prefer that they stay similar to the existing style.

I like the most of the smileys here on mlp forums, but I actually prefer the ones canterlot.com (and probably other websites too) is using. They look much more like the ponies.

I demand kindly request that you add a YEEEEEEEEEEEAH pony emote. It'll be perfect to show when we agree with something.

"This isn't a game you know! Alright, so these games..."

 

Joking aside, new emotes would be really nice.

Hah! This would be a really good one, but of course, I have to wait and get some kind of response, first.

I also think that some of the common emoticons we see on ther chat rooms should be ponified here, such as :/, but it seems like they have mot of the main ones already covered. (http://mlpforums.com/index.php?&app=forums&module=extras&section=legends) If anything, I feel at they should change a few to more frequently used combinations, such as : l o l : would be replaced by X D or : u n s u r e : be replaced with O . o
