Dune Emoticons

Post by Himachil »

Just thought I'd contribute a couple of smilies I worked up in Photoshop and ImageReady a few months back.

Enjoy, and feel free to use (and abuse...)

And that, children, is how the little bunny rabbit got his fluffy white tail.

That's awesome!

Now you've got me thinking: what would be some other useful Dune emoticons? How about....

A Fremen face with glowing blue eyes.

Someone getting their water spilled via crysknife.

A worm bursting out of the sand and swallowing someone.

A Mentat doing some heavy mental computation.

I only wish I had the skills to make some of these myself.

A sandworm swallowing a smiley would be great :)

A worm bursting out of the sand and swallowing someone.
It's a bit rushed (read slapdash), but I finally got round to it...

Good work again. It doesn't look rushed here, I like the starkness and crisp lines you've given it. Sometimes less is more.
Look, I'm not much good at big speeches, and I know I haven't always been an easy guy to get on with, and I know, that given the choice, I wouldn't have chosen you as friends, but I just want to say, that over the years, I have come to regard you as people I met.

We appreciate it Freak Z. I just want to make sure you're properly thanked, cause I know we tend to pester. But we have only the best of intentions :)
