Welcome to the latest volume of so i herd u liek emotes??. This is the 120th volume in a fortnightly series aimed towards promoting emote and emoticonists from the dA community. It features emotes posted within the past few weeks from both well known and new emoticonists, as well as featuring emote projects, contests and news.

Featured Emoticons

1.
I love how :achoo: by *Soulnova has been cleverly arranged so it can sneeze from one canvas to the next if place next to another copy of the deviation. The animation is fluent throughout with brilliant, life like expressions and a really fun feel to it

2.
There is something simple but adorable about What if ... by =Kyramy. It’s expression and hand placement work together to clearly display a puzzled emotion and make a cute emoticon

3.
With summer starting to appear in my area of the world, Colours if renewal by `Mirz123 is a brilliant piece of artwork to bring the summer spirit to your computer screens. The flower is been pixelled very well which when combined with the emote creates a gorgeous scene.

Featured project

=Phlum and `stuck-in-suburbia have started a fun community project to make a new ‘i support emoticonists’ stamp. Deviants can make a frame for up to 2 individual emoticonists that will then be animated together to make an awesome stamp. You can find out more info here and the template below:

I've got a soft spot for stamps with emotes in them. I don't know if it's because I do both art forms, or if it's because the emote just adds so much life to the stamp. Either way, here's a collection of recent(ish) awesome stamps, featuring some classy emotes.
