Welcome to the latest volume of so i herd u liek emotes??. This is the 119th volume in a fortnightly 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 emote projects, contests and news.
Featured Emoticons
1.
The Academote Awards 2011 by pjuk is one of the most jaw dropping emotes i have seen recently. Each of the frames is full with awesome detail such that it could stand as a deviation by itself and they have all been arranged in an attractive and stylish manner. Definitely take the time to full view.
2.
I just couldn’t resist featuring Bounce revamp by SwissCheesy. It’s cute and happy expression just brings a smile to your face and the animation is smooth and fluent throughout.
3.
Bring me to life by Krissi001 is a another truly stunning emote. The detail, animation and shading throughout is outstanding and the original idea shines through in this brilliant piece of work.
4.
There’s something eye catching about :bonk: revamp by horber95. The shading and expression on both emoticons has been nicely pixelled along with the smooth hammer swings and realistic squishes.

Legend Update
I’m sure the majority of readers will have heard about the recent legend updates, but i still felt it was worth mentioning here. Earlier this week we received 5 additional emotes to the Official Emote Legend. This allows you to use these new emotes anywhere around the website. They are:
:facepalm: by Chimpantalones
:nuu: by CookiemagiK
:stare: by Lythero
:saddummy: by InvaderZaeon
:grump: by Synfull
In addition to this, it was also hinted that additional changes may be coming this way. So keep your eyes peeling and check out this blog for more details

The eye bone's connected to the...face bone....the face bones connected to the...neck bone...
Ok. So I never learned the actual words to that song. The point is....our bones are pretty important, what with giving us structure and keeping us from being a big, gobby mass of meat. To show my appreciation for all my skeleton does for me....I have collected a feature of emotes with bones as the subject. And because skeletons are kinda creepy.

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
