The bird is the word.

So I've heard that the bird smiley isn't quite up to standards with the rest of the smilies, so being the always self-improving kind of guy that I am, I've decided to make this topic where I will be addressing the specific features of this smilies that you all feel can be fixed and improved.

Normally, I wouldn't do something like this, but I figured that I could make an exception specifically for the contest winners since they deserve it.

Original smiley:

Updated smiley:
- Not made yet -

Alright, so fire away with ideas! What should be improved?

Re: The bird is the word.

I took one look at the title and went HECK YEAH

it kinda looks like the beak is strapped on to the smiley's face. Maybe make it fluffy?

The beak blends in with the rest of the smiley, maybe make the beak darker?

Make it so it's actually a bird, it's just wearing a bird mask if you ask me.

Make the beak more defined so you can see the beak a bit clearer.

I don't think wings will work. I heard smileys have to be 16 pixels wide.

Take off that random red line, and make one of those hanging down red things that chickens have.... not sure what they're called.

Re: The bird is the word.

Like everyone else said, the beak needs to have more defined edges. A thin, dark brown or black outline around the beak would make it clearer. Also, the beak shouldn't be strapped on. I think it should just be part of the smiley. I don't really like how the mouth is partially covered by the beak. Besides, real birds have mouthes as part of their beaks, so just lower the beak a bit and ditch the smile.

Re: The bird is the word.

I can't see anything from the crazy background you put in. Always make the background black to blend in with the forums. Nobody wants to see that tiny bit of background.

The bunny was remade because of a restriction I didn't know I had, so that's a bit different. This one is being refined because of negative feedback from the players.

Re: The bird is the word.

Made 2 different beak variations. I also removed the red streak and made the smile smaller to make it look less out of place. Please tell me what you guys think.

The beak on this one is a traditional triangle beak that you see on a lot of easter drawings.

This beak also includes the lower part (jaw?) to make it appear slightly more realistic from a frontal perspective.

Re: The bird is the word.

They're a bit darker. I could spot that.
EDIT: This post was typed at the moment RPGMASTER typed that ^ post.
EDIT2: I'm going to bump my old Merged Smileys thread because now I can finally make new ones.

Re: The bird is the word.

The second one's beak kind of looks rounded and duck-ish. I'd go with the first one.
