Brilliant suggestion, Kev! Somebody please rescale this image to the proper size (max. height 22px, I think) so that DarkUnderlord can add it. xD

I can do that myself, if need be.

 

[Kruno]

But then getting fucked hard by Bubba from the prison cell next door is better than being reamed up the ass with a steel beam.

I disagree!

 

[fork]

And as much as fork is being an asshole, he's got the facts right. Your posts the last 3 pages or so are coming across like your time is too valuable to "waste" on work that doesn't receive instant positive feedback.

I want to respond to that, to you. I say to you because you sound like someone you can talk to (as opposed to others with which I don’t even bother as you’ve seen in the thread). Look me up on Pixelation and Pixeljoint, both are communities about Pixel Art (I have the same username). I rework each thing I do many times over, it’s not a question of wasting my time. I like to do pixel art and art in general, it’s not a chore, it’s fun. Also, if you check my reply, I usually say « I agree, that’s fair feedback » as opposed to getting annoyed when I’m not showered with praise.

As for ‘positive feedback’, if I’m being honest, it’s not the feedback I appreciate the most. Sure, people saying ‘it’s brilliant’ is cool but what I like the most is feedback like Lady Error (and others) has given for example: it doesn’t work because of this, this and that. Then I can I improve on it. If it’s just ‘brilliant’ then I don’t know where to take it from there. Saying it’s bad doesn’t help and I see that as being malicious. Saying it doesn’t work because… is constructive criticism and I’m always open to that.

All of this being said, I’ll finish what I started. I feel like I owe the people who took time to give me feedback that much. It’d be cheap to leave them hanging.

(And also to annoy Zed something)

The attention whouring continues, nonstop:
Look me up there and there, great communities. I practice hard...

Fuck man, noones cares. Post a good button that might get taken, or fuck off.
I'd probably punch you in the face irl, you insufferable cunt.

 

[Sukhāvatī]

Colouring is a bit off, too light/pink compared the originals in general.

 

[Lady Error]

This one is indeed brilliant.

Next set:
P. Removed the teeth, made the horns shorter. Moved the jaw instead of the full face.

Q. More frames, different timing.

R. Back to two frames, shorter horns, tongue, bigger eyes.

S. Longer chin to make it more like the original reference of the troll. Change the shape of the horns as well to better represent the troll. Also changed the eye shape for that reason.

T. Non-frowning, different head shape, different horns.

Here the eyes of R are pretty good, but it needs to be the top of the mouth that moves up and down - not the bottom. Take a look at the yellow laughing smileys:

I took your R and changed it a bit to show what I mean:

It can be fine-tuned (eyes, transparent background, maybe head shape and horns)

 

[Kev Inkline]

I can do that myself, if need be.

Please do it, DarkUnderlord absolutely haaaaaaaates having to lift a finger himself.

Nice edit! I actually tried moving the face up and down at first (instead of the jaw):

your edit looks more convincing however:

.
I think the only issue left (if we'd go with your edit) is that the likeness tothe troll reference is not quite there yet.

 

[Zizka]

In other news, this was previously requested by Zombra regarding the 'thanks' button. I used the same head shape as 'prestigious' but made the horns slightly longer.

First shot
I.

Different sign, face and smile.
II.

Different sign and smile.
III.

I don't like this one as it's greatly simplified but I know some prefer when it's more simple. Also, capital letters this time around.
IV.

Bad spelling:


Button A:


Or Button B:

 

[Morenatsu.]

we should just get prosper to remake all the buttons

 

[Zombra]

"Button" is perfect as is, don't need a new one.

The new Thanks-s I like OK, I-III all nice except you changed the color of the sign. Ruins the joke if the sign is different at all imo

 

[Skinwalker]

Please make a burning tank button.

 

[Ol' Willy]

IV.

Looks almost good. Don't overdo them buttons

 

[Semiurge]

Please make a burning tank button.

Needs a

button to go with it.

Quick question for the military inclined. I'm looking at reference pictures for the military salute:

Which one would be more appropriate? Open palm like on the left or the right? I take it it's a cultural thing where different countries do things differently?

This,different armies and cultures have different salutes.

 

[Skinwalker]

Which one would be more appropriate? Open palm like on the left or the right?

Three fingers (thumb, pointer, middle) together to symbolize the Holy Trinity, the other two fingers folded (to symbolize Christ's divinity and humanity), touch forehead (in the name of the Father), navel (and of the Son), left shoulder (and of the Holy), right shoulder (Spirit), middle of the chest (one God, amen).

This discusses the two salutes:
https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/MilitarySalute

In the English speaking world, which here means the US and the commonwealth there are two types of salutes. The first, with palm facing outwards, is the "British military salute." This is used by the armies and air forces of most Commonwealth countries. Its origins are with the British Army. The other which is palm downwards, originating with the Royal Navy, is the British "Naval" salute (this was originally introduced because sailors' and officers' hands were often stained with tar through life aboard ship, and showing a dirty palm was considered to reduce the dignity of the gesture). This is used by the Naval forces of the Commonwealth and the US Armed Forces. This is often in popular parlance seen as an American salute, even in the commonwealth. There has been examples of nitpickers and scolds attacking works (or real life) where British or Australians are depicted as saluting palm downwards as an example of Eagleland Osmosis.

THIS! so much this!! x 2

 

[Zizka]

Thanks, I'll go for the one on the right then. Seems to be the most common one.

As far as I know, a salute doesn't involve throwing your hand upwards after though.

IV.

IV is the only one that's minimally acceptable, and is keeping with the style of existing trolls. The other three are basically prosper faces.

Still, IV is not simplified enough. It's like you're trying to make a big icon with details, but that just makes the icon hard to read at its real size.

Compare the eyes and the contouring:

vs

Angry dude has thicker and clearer contour lines, well-defined eyes, and is very readable. Yours is muddy as fuck. And what's that white spot on his chin, cum?

 

[Zizka]

I quite like the 'thanks' button I've made. I think the faces look great. I doubt I'll modify them further except maybe for the palette. Or maybe add in an animation. We'll see.

First shot at 'salute':

Dude, I think you should make and suggest new ratings instead of trying to replace the old ones. Otherwise this soon'll look like an anime forum.
