Emoticon Contest: past vs. present vs. futureI am proud to present you my first "official" Emoticon Contest.

At first I want to tell you something about the theme:
As you have read the theme is past vs. present vs. future, this means your entry has to include something from the past, present and future. The time isn't set, this means that the past could be just 1 day ago or 100 years ago it's the same with the future. For example: you could display how the emotes have lived in the past how they are living now and how they could live in the future.
Be creative and surprise me with your imagination

The Contest is divided into 2 Categories:
The first Category will be for deviants who would like to work alone. And the second category is for deviants who want to work with somebody (a collaboration category ;D) 2 deviants can work together.
But you could also enter in both categories!

Below you can find the rules of each category and what you have to keep in mind.

These were the most popular emotes from February 2011.

The Emoticon Corner - Volume 3A (mostly) bi-monthly article featuring emoticons, emoticonists, as well as other fun stuff having to do with emotes. This feature combines, replaces, and re-imagines the "Random Emote Awesomeness" and "Amazing Emoticonists" articles.

The bouncing action on this emote is simple but perfect. Love the little leaf.

help corner: EmoticonsWelcome to the help corner:Emoticons.  If you have any questions about anything Emoticon related go ahead and send me a note. Not all questions have to be serious, I am  looking forward to all kind of questions ;D    The questions will be answered in the next edition of the help corner.
I had the idea for this News article when I recently went through the Tutorial list of #Emotication.  I normally send deviants to #Emotication when they need help to create Emoticons. Now that I went through the list I noticed that many tutorials aren't helpful at all.  It is "just" a list with very good but also very bad tutorials.
In the first edition of the help corner I want to share tutorials with you that I find helpful. These don't necessarily  reflect my preferences in the emoticon creation process

Let me first tell you something about different shadings. Every Emoticonist has different preferenc

I asked in a previous Journal that every Emoticonist should write a comment there.
You can still do it on this Journal if you haven't commented yet.
I sent notes to all of those who commented there and asked them a couple of questions.
And now I am going to feature all of this deviants and their answers

If you saw that I have featured you and i didn't include all of your answers/or any answers, you could write a Journal and include all of your answers there. ;D

Fourth challenge commencing!Sorry for being late, we had a bit of a kerfuffle on deciding the theme for this week.

Since this week is National Storytelling week, we've decided to go with Stories as our next theme.
This could be interpreted in a number of different ways...is your emote going to be reading a story? Telling a story to someone else? Will they be reading from a book or would a bard be more suitable? You could even chronicle a story using emotes...it's your choice, as ever!

First off, could you give us a brief introduction of yourself?
Okay. brief (hahaha, anyone on here who knows me, that is not a word I know). I'll start with the obvious. I'm an artist. That's a word that has defined my life, and it sounds silly saying it to other artists (since everyone on this site is an artist). But it has served to explain any silly behavior I might have and someone looks at me odd "I'm an artist" suffices.
I like to try all styles and mediums. I even write poetry (which I rarely ever share, because they're songs and I sing them). So, my gallery is full of a bit of everything. And most of the people on DA likely know me for my journal skins. Because I am CSS obsessed and want to make a skin out of everything I see.
I'm 31, I have a five year old son, Chase. I've lived a hard and soap opera style life growing up, which has shaped me into who I am today

Gifts for the next Emote CV - Project : UPDATE

Fri Feb 3, 2012, 8:36 AM

GUYS!!! We have a new Emoticon CV

It's `stuck-in-suburbia

All those who have entered have to update their Entry with the OC of her

Her OC:

I thought it would be nice to create welcoming gifts for the next Emoticon CV.

The goal of this project is to  show that we fully support the next emoticon community volunteer, no matter who it will be.
All you have to do is to create an Emoticon that shows what the next cv could need,  a bucket full of love or something completely different ;D
if you want to you could display the emote version of the next emote cv as a black emote with a questionmark and as soon as we know who the next emote cv will be, we change it to his/her oc.
