We want a drooling emoticon!

[Bruno Figueiredo]

'nuff said!

If you want it I can draw one...

[David Prahl]

I think that 8O, :eek: , :jawdrop: , and :shocked!: get the whole "shocked/surprised/amazed" idea across, but a drooling emoticon would be great.

Like for the Axim X7...<drool>

:mrgreen:

[dean_shan]

Well need the drooling emoticon. This would come in handy when words can't quite explain what you mean.

[Crystal Eitle]

I'm fer it. I was hesitant at first, 'cause I thought it would be gross, but I guess I shouldn't worry about it, given that we have this :pukeface2: one.

[Bruno Figueiredo]

I LIKE IT!

Not bad, but I think seeing drops dripping would be better.

Steve

[Jerry Raia]

No question, the drips are a must.

[Pat Logsdon]

Darn it! I just did one of these a few days ago, but I can't upload it from work. It's not so much drooling as a big pink tongue hanging out of a smiley's mouth. Sort of a wow/hubba hubba kind of thing, without the lasciviousness. :wink:

[lurch]

I'm thinking more along the lines of a homer-drool... like a smiley that does this (http://www.missionaryexchange.org/aaron/homerdrool.gif) with the tongue and stuff...

[David Prahl]

Yeah! I think the homer-drool look is what we're looking for.

A blank, stoic look is also a must. All that is going through that smiley's little mind is "wow."

I agree, we need one drip going down the right side of the mouth. Two would look like it's dying or something!

[Pony99CA]

I'm thinking more along the lines of a homer-drool... like a smiley that does this (http://www.missionaryexchange.org/aaron/homerdrool.gif) with the tongue and stuff...
That looks more like exhaustion to me. Think of a dog panting and you'll see what I mean.

Steve

[Ed Hansberry]

Someone find a good one and I'll add it to the family. :) It must drip though. Puddles a plus! :lol:

[Janak Parekh]

Here's the first "dripping-like" one I found. Anyone else can find a better one?

http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/images/parekh/misc/icon_drool.gif

Here's one more:

I don't know - kinda looks like it's eating a popsicle. ;) Can we make the tongue start from deeper in the mouth instead of at the lips? Of course, that might make it look even more like it's eating something....

[ctmagnus]

I'm fer it. I was hesitant at first, 'cause I thought it would be gross, but I guess I shouldn't worry about it, given that we have this :pukeface2: one.

You're welcome!

I got that one implemented!

A yellow face would work better in this case, imo. The blue face and blue drool are too similar.

Well heck put them all in there. They look pretty good to me.

[Janak Parekh]

I don't know - kinda looks like it's eating a popsicle. ;)
Really? Do your eyes widen that much when you eat a pink popsicle? :lol:

Maybe it's a "dual-use" emoticon: you can use it whether you're panting or hungry for frozen ice. Or both at the same time.

--janak

id look for one for u guys but im too lazy sorry

[David Prahl]

How do you guys "find" or "make" them? I'd like to try my hand at it. :)

[Steven Cedrone]

To find them: just try :google: with search terms like "smiley" or "emoticons"...

Steve

[Kati Compton]

Depends on whether or not it's a flavor I'm expecting. If I'm expecting strawberry, but I get bacon, I might look like that.

umm.... it kinda looks like male genitalia. Now that I made that reference, I will think of that every time I see that smiley. Oh, and adding drool would make it a lot worse if you know what I mean.

didnt mean to be immature or gross... just wanted to give you a heads up.

Uh, what exactly is your point, since you said it just a few posts ago? :? If you're trying to inflate your post count, note that it's discouraged here and the mods will delete duplicates.

Back ontopic: S. Snack's emoticon does not look like a manhood IMO. I'm sure one could tweak the colors (a bit redder?) to avoid such ambiguities.

I don't think there was really a point to posting that in the first place... no need to say "no I won't help."

[Janak Parekh]

And to make them, you need an animated GIF editor. :google: for that too. I've used many over the years (anyone remember GIF Construction Set?) -- the one I've played with lately is Adobe ImageReady, which is bundled with Photoshop. That is probably on the high-end -- it's sophisticated and a bit too complicated for my tastes.

I prefer to use Macromedia Fireworks (http://www.macromedia.com/software/fireworks/productinfo/product_overview/) for static images, and Macromedia Flash (http://www.macromedia.com/software/flash/productinfo/product_overview/) for the animation. They work well together, so it's pretty easy once you know what you're doing. :D

Awesome work! I love the one with the big arching eyebrows. Now, if you truly want to experiment, try having a little blue drop run down the tongue and out. Given the "new" darker tongue, it might just work. :D

Or, have the tongue extend up and down, like a dog panting? :lol:

Nah, because then it looks like one of those popsicles with 2 sticks. ;)

I thought the v2 fixed the problem. There is the suggestion of a line at the top. Maybe add 1 more pixel to it at most, but it's probably best the way it is now.

Hey, I agree with you. He claims he's too lazy to make smilies or even search for them, but he's not too lazy to make two worthless posts. :roll:

Steve

[Thinkingmandavid]

Well it isnt too bad, but how about if we have two drooling smiles? ONe that is more realistic and then the one where he appears to be drowning which actually kind of gross.

So you're saying there's some drooling that isn't gross?

I think one icon should be enough for now, although we do have two puking ones, two where "people" are getting hit, two ROFL icons and several with guns.

Steve

[David Prahl]

the one where he appears to be drowning which actually kind of gross.

Many of our emoticons could be considered gross. Besides, saliva is clear and this smiley..umm.."swims" in a blue liquid. NO SMILEYS WERE INJURED IN THE ANIMATION OF THIS GIF.

This one is definitely my favorite. It's very obvious that the emoticon is "drooling." I think for anything bodily-function-related, it has to be as unambiguous as possible.

:werenotworthy:

Thank you!

[Thinkingmandavid]

I see the point and makes sense. All drooling is gross...I was figuring on one with less drool for some posts, and the one swimming in drool for more pointed posts. I am glad we have one since it is the swimming one, I will look forward to using it just as well;)

[ctmagnus]

Since Ed is the master of all things emoticon-ish, I have a request for him (although I'm not sure if this falls into his realm):

resize the popup emoticon window to say, 3 or 4 emoticons wide by however many rows tall. That way, people will only have to scroll in one direction to get to the emoticon they want (without maximizing the window) instead of the two directions in the current situation.

[Ed Hansberry]

Since Ed is the master of all things emoticon-ish, I have a request for him (although I'm not sure if this falls into his realm):

resize the popup emoticon window
Not my realm. No clue how that works. I just maximize the window when I use it.

[Thinkingmandavid]

I agree, it would be nice not having to scroll in two directions. I am glad we are going to have another emoticon to work with. I will be glad when I can use it. Maybe on something from Fujitsu:)

[David Prahl]

Of course, none of them realized that this was no ordinary emoticon.

Oh no, this one was special!

You'll notice on the 2nd to last animation frame, a 1 pixel high message saying "Palm rules!"

Ah, no. Fabrizio has much more fundamental end-user features he's working on adding. The emoticon window can be scrolled and resized, so you're not lacking actual functionality.

Is there anything that prevents you from mapping :-P and :-p to the animated icons?

Is there anything that prevents you from mapping :-P and :-p to the animated icons?
Not per se. However, it's probably good policy not to do that reassignment, as people's old posts would change. I guess it wouldn't look that bad, though. Maybe :razzing:.
