Welcome to the latest volume of so i herd u liek emotes??. This is the 124th 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.
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.

2.
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.

3.
It’s hard to know where to look in This is war by ~Seiorai as the whole image is jam packed with detail. All the elements mould into one impressive scene full of life and action and the slight light flickering just enhances the atmosphere.

4.
Elements by =happy-gurl just makes me smile. The scene may not be jam packed, but each of the emotes adds to the image and the expressions chosen just enhance the whole emoticon. You have to love the emote at the front with his hair on fire and the awesome skeleton in the corner.

Featured projects

Cinema project

This project is a simple but fun project based around a movie theatre. You can choose a seat for your emote then pixel them in doing something you would see at a cinema. There’s still a few slots left so if you want to join in you better reserve one fast.

Bank of Emotes

Most communities have their own currency and it’s been decided that the world of emotes needs one too. You can help pixel up a note or coin to be added in and show everyone what our money looks like.

Emote dA HQ

To help celebrate Staff Appreciation Week, `Mirz123 started up an Emote dA HQ project. To join in simply make an emote to add to one of the rooms and give us an idea of what happens at the dA headquarters.
