I don't see what's wrong with it exactly? Like people are saying it's the worst change of the update but I don't get it.

It now looks too horrible for me, looks like someone with a orange robot head.

Re: WHAT IN THE GOD'S NAME

I dislike the majority of these smiley changes

It seems like Toop really likes trying to confine these smileys into their original 16 X 16 dimensions. They seem oddly squished and some of these trims are bad. The hat doesn't wrap around his head anymore.

Re: WHAT IN THE GOD'S NAME

If you read his post in the graphics forum, he explains why he is making the changes.

Honestly it comes down to simple stylistic preference.

For a comparable example, how Ravatroll draws a hill and how I draw a hill will be completely different, but they will both look like a hill and we respect each other's style.

What I understood Toop's goal to be is that he wanted to make the styles of the smilies similar so it wouldn't look like they were created by multiple artists. Your own preference might be for the other non-uniform style, but either way, I personally would prefer a uniform style for smilies.

Then you mean Toop's style > everybody else's style?

Yes, exactly. He's the graphics designer so he's clearly the only one who should be allowed to have an opinion on all the smileys!

Re: WHAT IN THE GOD'S NAME

imo, the borders were choppy and ugly, the smileys were often unnecessarily not round, and had shading failures. Toop did a good job fixing most of them.

Also... why is everyone complaining about this?! You had a chance to have your opinion heard here: http://forums.everybodyedits.com/viewtopic.php?id=27025

I agree with Toop on the majority of the changes, as do many others, as shown by the link Badoosh posted above. He did a fabulous job of taking feedback from the community and carefully weighed each person's opinion and reasons.

Toop's style is definitely not my own, and it can't be, we are different artists. What his goal, and what I was trying to point out, is that before each smiley was fine as a standalone, but cohesively did not work.

It would be like a world filled with trees made all by different artists. Alone they would be fine, but together, it just doesn't work. (Though now I want to see a world that looks like this as I think it would be amusing and interesting).

Re: WHAT IN THE GOD'S NAME

I like some of the changes. For example I absolutely love changes to smileys such as fire demon and Laika. However I feel that like SmittyW said some trimming was not done very well. In particular Archaeologist, Cannonball, Winter, Mad Scientist, Bruce... oh wait Bruce wasn't changed he was just always this bad.
But either way, the point is I feel that some smileys were ruined by this update. Archaeologist was my favorite smiley and I feel it doesn't make it top 10 now in my list just because his hat appears off now.

Re: WHAT IN THE GOD'S NAME

I don't want to offend Toop but I really think the smileys are terrible and that the smileys can be uniform without shrinking their dimensions to a 16x16 space and without sacrificing the anti-aliasing.

You sound you like you mean all the smilies are terrible ;o

I dislike the Fire Demon and the cropped images like Winter, Unit (to name a few).

Re: WHAT IN THE GOD'S NAME

I learnt how to fix the Archaeologist smiley! All you need to do is turn on your god aura. The white aura fills in the missing pixels making the Archaeologist smiley better looking. Too bad he is still ugly when you don't have god aura turned on Welp

I'm sorry TOOP, but I much prefer the old smiley designs with the only possible exception being the dog (obviously not Laika anymore).
