Your call is important to us by =pjuk really captures how people feel when placed on hold. The simple animation works well with the emote’s expression to create a cute little emoticon.

dA emote community by ~LedMaiden is an adorable representative of the emote community. The full spectrum of colours just goes to show how varied our community is and the wave of bouncing really catches your eye. Be sure to look past the preview.

Master of Elements by ~KinnisonArc is a really impressive emote scene. Each of the elements gives an intense sense of power and the image in the middle just helps the elements flow together. The emotes in each corner fit really well and the expressions help give a sense of individuality to each Master.

The bright colours of the lava in Hanging on for Dear Life by ~PokeartKid really grabbed my attention. The details included in the whole background really help bring the scene to life and give a realistic feel to the situation.

First off, could you give us a brief introduction of yourself?
Yo! <3 My name is Kristen, but most people know me as Bliss. I'm eighteen years old and live in the U.S.A.
What gave you the idea to register with your username?
BlissfullySarcastic was a pen name of mine, and this account was originally for lurking and writing, so I figured I'd use the same name. Oxymorons...fun stuff.
How has deviantART changed your life?
I've never really thought about it. Huh.
It glued me to my computer, if that counts as changing my life. It taught me how to trollolololo

CodePLZ - the emoticonist version#hq has just announced some more information on the whole 'codePLZ' concept and tbh, i had to read through the journal about 3 times to understand the termonology used. Therefore i decided to write up an 'emoticonists' version. This is my interpretation of what has been written. Let me know if any of the details are wrong.
What is codePLZ?
CodePLZ is a new feature that is currently in production to replace the current Emoticon Legend to allow more emotes to be used anywhere around the site. This means we wont be confined to only emotes on the 'official list' but allowed to pick and choose any 'chat friendly' emoticon available.
This feature would be implemented in the place of the long awaited 'emote dictionary' you may have heard about.
How will it work?
When you submit a chat friendly emote to your gallery, it will be given a unique code (similar to a thumbcode - possibly :emote2523422: ) which could be used in areas of the site where thumbcodes are not normally allowed (ie regul

Random Emote Awesomeness - Volume 11Volume 11 in the series that showcases a random variety of emoticons: some old, some new, some by seasoned emoticonists, some by new artists. There's no real rhyme or reason as to which pieces are featured. Sometimes I pick a theme such as animals, other times it's just whatever strikes my fancy. Below are the current group of awesome emotes hand-picked by me (and sometimes a guest). Much like the title, this News feature will publish a bit randomly. Maybe weekly, maybe every third Thursday, maybe three days in a row--but hopefully at least once a month.

Amazing Emoticonists & More - Volume 37

Welcome to Amazing Emoticonists...and More. This is the 37th installment of the twice-monthly feature dedicated to showcasing the emoticon creations of up-and-coming and veteran emoticonists. Be sure to check out the rest of their galleries for other amazing works. This article also features projects, contests, groups, and more, in the hopes of exposing them to new deviants and those not familiar with the emoticon community.

Such a sweet and sad emote. I think we can all relate to this feeling.

I found ~litecrush and =Indae’s entry to the ‘Opposites’ themed collab event a really interesting twist on the theme. Both sides have been nicely pixelled with a clever link between them to make a single great piece of work.

2.

I just love how ~ROBlNHOOD has managed to animate a range of different water themed items into H2O in one fluent emoticon. Each has a great feel to it and some of the special effects really shine through

3.

Character emotes aren’t always easy to master, but ^SparklyDest has done a pretty good job with Emote Spock. There’s enough detail crammed into the little emote to give is a very distinct Spock feel, right down to his expression.

Emote Teams

`Mirz123 has started up a new concept in our community of Emote Teams. You sign up and are assigned a small team of emoticonists to get to know and work with in a variety of future events. The first set of teams have now been created and you can find a list here. Is not too late to sign up though and be added to a team at the next suitable time slot.

A new group #emoticon-clubhouse has also been set up as a submission and information point for Emote Teams. It is invited only so if you have already joined a team and not received an invite, let `Mirz123 know. If you have accepted your invite, be sure to read the club house information on behaviour, reassignments and submissions
