That blind gyoji is great! (Hugging...) He deserves a name, though. (borrowing for the blues world) How about Blind Lemon Kimura? (Shaking head...)

What about a heya return?

I think the Kokkai-less henka should be included again. I mean, not every henka is against Kokkai, and inserting a henka-emoticon should be more general...

No, not every henka is done against Kokkai... but most of them. ;-)

To be honest: I changed it to Kokkai, because now it's easier to see what happens in the picture. You can easily confuse two yellow smileys when they are so close together. That's why I changed the color of one smiley.

Another reason for changing this emoticon was a little mistake i made in the first version (Applauding...): when the left smiley jumps up, it's head leaves the picture a little bit.

==>

But okay, I think I will remove Kokkai's beard, leaving the main color as pink as it is. Then we'll have one asian looking smiley henka-ing one european looking smiley. Again: I think it's quite important to use two smileys of a different color here.

And I'll think about a matta emoticon now. (Nodding yes...)

[Sakana 46]

Great work ! (Nodding yes...) (Applauding...)

I "love" the one which is showing the banzuke ;-)

[Odoriou 0]

Thank you. (Nodding yes...)

Meanwhile I shaved Kokkai:

And added a matta emoticon:

[ilovesumo 12]

You shaved Kokkai??? (Applauding...) haha...what will HE say about

that ? (Bleh!)

Kokkai is Kokkai- never shaved to much.

If you "shave" the Henka-Kokkai, let's have an other personal Kokkai Smilie, like we have one for Kaio, Kasuganishiki, Kotomitsuki,Toki and Iwakiyama (chat-smilies).

personal smilies are hard to create, but very useful. Where is Zenjimoto's Takamisakari? (Sigh...) ;-) -The few "main" Rikishi could and should have a "yellow face'd twin" (Laughing...) Got a lot of ideas....

But I will never understand why Kaio is an ;-) ...

Hum? (Nodding yes...)

"yusho cup" is best! ( but looks like futeno!?!) :-P KAWAII (Hugging...)

You can blame Zenjimoto for that. ;-)

Zabuton emoticon was more difficult than it looks like... I had to set seven different zabutons in motion:

Gumbai east:

Gumbai west:

Until yesterday I always made a mistake when transforming emoticon pictures from BMP to GIF. The result was that all my GIFs looked a little bit "dirty" (some pixels have a slightly wrong color). So I think I will have to transform all my smileys once more... (Nodding yes...)

I really like the idea, but it's already hard to recognize these few rikishi:

Those rikishi were for sure the most recognizable ones. I can hardly paint more of them...

Do you still think those rikishi emoticons would be useful?

I like the Iwakiyama emoticon a lot.

[ilovesumo 12]

Kotooshu, Mickey and Kokkai- pretty and easy to to recognize (Heart) (Showing respect...) Iwakiyama is cute, we had one before but the new guy is much better (Applauding...)

Takamisakari!? (Showing respect...)

Baruto?! Simpson- like hair and blue eyes (Applauding...)

Buyuzan?! (Sigh...)

Roho?! (Blushing...)

Where? I never saw it - what does the old Iwakiyama look like?

By the way... This thread has more than 1000 clicks already. (Blushing...)

Edit: Your Takamisakari version looks good. (Showing respect...) I think I will include that idea. (Applauding...)

[ilovesumo 12]

You can find him at the forum chat.

What about Asashoryu coming out of the Tenno Hai? (Applauding...)

We need a moving Misakari, sorry my little guy needs a bit help of the artist (Showing respect...)

Well... there are more than 700 rikishi, but there seem to be only about 10 'characters' among them.

An update:

Osh, Kokkai, Mickey, Iwakiyama, Buyuzan, Bart and Toki look good already, but I'm not satisfied with Kaio and Roho. I guess I will have to leave them out. (Showing respect...)

[Yubiquitoyama 4]

These are all excellent! (Showing respect...)

Just thought that maybe there should be a tsuyu-harai and a tachimochi as well among the sumorelated emoticons? I suppose at least the tachimochi shouldn't be too hard (but I'm far from certain of that...) (Applauding...)

Edited August 25, 2005 by Yubiquitoyama

[Rijicho 6]

when are we gonna see these among the forum smilies?

Soon. Exil will work on some technical aspects with the artist and we will also take some unused emoticons away and reorganize the whole emoticon aspect so that it will be as user-friendly as possible.

I want to thank everybody for your many ideas and for your praises. (Applauding...) Without you maybe I would have stopped after the first three emoticons. Now there are 24 regular sumo emoticons plus 10 rikishi smileys.

I sent improved versions of them all to Exil, who will now have the difficult job to sort out some of the old Sumoforum emoticons to replace them with these sumo emoticons - thank you for taking the effort. (Showing respect...)

For about a week I've spend most of my free time with changing pixel by pixel on very small pictures... I really need a break now, as my eyes have this color at the moment:
