Welcome to this week's volume of so i herd u liek emotes. This is the 68th volume in a weekly series aimed towards promoting emote and emoticonists from the dA community. It features emotes posted within the past week from both well known and new emoticonists, as well as featuring some other great emote projects and contests.
Featured Emoticons:
1.
:lessthanthree: by capncraka is a great lil emote with smooth animation throughout and displays a unique twist to the normal love emoticon
2. :thumb153794621:
Uninspired by Marc-pHX is an adorable and brilliantly animated emote that expressed a feeling many artists go through at one point or another.
3.
Spread the love by IcedTeaa is a simple but rather cute valentines emote
4.
I really love effective static emotes like Don't let go by Sinister-Starfeesh. It is brilliantly pixelled and uses a great set of expressions to bring life to a single frame
5.
:cowboy: by dutchie17 is a great bit of pixelling to make an awesome looking cowboy with a nice gun effect

Mood system
Along with the emote legend, there is another emote system used throughout the site which may people forget even exists. The system I am talking about is the Emoticon Moods System which allows you to play a mood emote with every comment you post.
Over the past few weeks zachriel and myself have been making a list of all the emotes contained on the mood system and finding links to the original deviations.
After a lot of hard work and some kind input from a few other emoticonists, earlier this week we managed to complete the list, which can be viewed here
To mark this I felt like featuring some of the original deviations in the mood system.

Winds of change
Whilst I'm not overly active on dA any more, I still pop in once in a while and thought I'd do a bit of a life update for anyone else who still lurks around here. The last few months have been a bit of a whirlwind for me. At the end of June, the software company I worked for failed to get the investment it needed, meaning that I lost my job along with the majority of out Dev and QA team. I'd been working in the same company for nearly 10 years and really enjoyed my time there, so it was a shame I had to leave. Luckily for me, I had quite a long notice period (9 weeks) which was long enough to find a new job and then have a few weeks off. This gave me the chance to spend a lot of time with my sister and her family (who were visiting from America) and go for a number of walks in my local national park called The Peak District. I started my new role a few weeks ago. I think it's going ok but it will take some time to adjust to working in a new company. It didn't help that I caught
Welcome to 2023!
Happy New Year! I just realised that I didn't write a single journal in 2022. Whoops. I am still lurking around here and pop in a few times a week, but I haven't had much to post/update. So what was 2022 like for me? Quite mixed. The year started off strong. I spent the Spring months working on my house - I painted the fences, shed and decking, decorated a blank wall in my office and then spent a few days painting my bathroom. Over the summer, things hit a bump in the road. I had a number of fun plans arranged, which all had to be scrapped as I (and a friend staying with me) caught Covid. Fortunately no long lasting effects, and we both made the most of the situation, but it wasn't quite the relaxing week we had planned. Oh well. In Autumn, I tried to make up for missed opportunities, and think I took on a little too much at once. I filled a lot of my free time with meetups or walks or other house improvements, which resulted in feeling exhausted since around the end of
NaNoEmo Roundup 2021
With the blink of an eye it's now December and NaNoEmo has finished for another year. It has been an absolute delight to see a number of emoticonist take part, breathing some life back into a community that is dormant for much of the year. To add to the celebrations, two of the entries received a Daily Deviation (DD) and one emoticonist ( @MerelyCubed) managed to complete the "30 in 30" challenge - a truly impressive achievement. Without further ado, here are a selection of the entries from this year: @MerelyCubed 30 entries @Phlum 6 entries @BlissfullySarcastic 7 entries @nillemotes 11 entries Emotes submitted privately
Please Sir, can I have some more?!
Within the blink of an eye it seems to be August, and I'm really starting to wonder where the year has gone. I can't say I have a load of stuff to update this journal with, but I fancied an update nonetheless. I'm now well settled in the new house. In April/May I managed to finish unpacking most of my belongings, so it started to feel like it was my home rather than just a place I was living. In June I had the boiler replaced, which was an experience and a half, but I'm glad that's all done. I have the windows to replace and some work to do in the loft, but I'm just taking some time out to enjoy the house as it is before it descends into chaos again. I was also pleasantly surprised when I found a new hedgehog that visits the house. I was a little sad that I left the others behind when I moved, but I discovered him outside the shed one night and have been looking after him ever since. He's been given the nickname Oliver after one late night session where he threw his food bowls
