Artist's Comments

Update!
The islands are full of summer fun, and island officials have put out a notice: Due to overcrowding on the Tropical Isles, no more emoticons will be allowed access.
Yes, this marks the end of the project. If you still wish to create an entry, feel free to do so. Just know that it will never be added.
A big thanks goes out to all twenty... eight (I think that's right) of you that put the effort in to participate! :la:

Update!
Conveniently, as the island began to fill with new visitors, a new (yet suspiciously familiar) island was discovered! Now there's even more island fun to be had! Some emotes took some initiative and travelled to the new land. [07/07]

Full view is a must!

Calling all emoticonists and pixel artists! This is the Tropical Isle Project, brought to you by myself and =BlissfullySarcastic (who was highly needed to promote creativity and whip me when laziness struck).

All emoticonists and pixel artists are called to enter in submissions to add to the fun! :la:

» SUBMISSION «
:bulletblue: To submit an entry (or, if you prefer, enter a submission), please send me a note entitled Tropical Isle Entry with a link or thumbnail to your entry.

» GUIDELINES «
:bulletgreen: All entries must be created for the Tropical Isle Project, and must be uploaded to your dA gallery as a .gif or .png format. No exceptions.
:bulletblue: No animations will be allowed, again with no exceptions.
:bulletgreen: Please ensure that your entry's background is transparent. If you do not know how to do so, see below. If there is absolutely no way for you to achieve transparency, tell me so in your submission note.
:bulletblue: Keep size in mind. Emotes should be of normal size (15 x 15 pixels) unless you feel the need for a giant emote. If an entry is too large, you'll receive notification and will be asked to downsize.
:bulletgreen: Pixel art is encouraged; don't feel pressured to only enter emotes!
:bulletblue: You're not restricted to just the land! Feel free to use both the water and the sky. Get creative!
:bulletgreen: Currently, each deviant is restricted to TWO entries. This may change, so check back for updates!

As well, keep shadows and water reflections in mind, where needed. :thumbsup:


» TRANSPARENCY «
:bulletblue: In order to use transparency, you need a program that supports it. The only program I can think of that does not support transparency is Microsoft Paint. If you do not have a program that supports transparency, I suggest either Paint.NET or The GIMP, which are both fairly easy to use.
:bulletgreen: To make an area transparent, simply select it with any of the various selection tools (or ctrl + a or edit > select all to select the entire image) and hit the delete or backspace key on your keyboard. You should see a checker board pattern where you had your selection--this is "transparent."
:bulletblue: Save as either .gif or .png.



This deviation will be uploaded as often as possible--please do not comment or note me if you have not been added yet. Be patient.
However, if your entry is added but your name is not in the list below, comment with your concern and I'll add you to the list right away. :la:

Looks good. I might get off my pixelated butt and make something, though I make no claims to be good.

I'm also wondering.. if we're allowed to use .png files, are we allowed to use partial transparencies?

There is a special place in hell for game designers who put tricky jumping puzzles right after a boss battle with no save point in between.
