I would recommend that you show us an example of those full-body sprites while suggesting this, because some might not get the idea and the full-body sprites might not be as bad as I imagined. You have a good point there about the emoticons. I think that the face-emoticons need to be improved since I've increased the canvas to 32 pixel square... which is more resolution. More details. I think that you should place it at 19 pixel square for now and inform Adventure as well as other emoticon creators about it. You can also make another thread altogether to mention about the pixel-size change issue ( as the main topic) and mention about the need of new icons for the new format as well as your icon guidelines. This would enable for new emoticons to be introduced for a temporary period of time.

Change always takes time, so I suggest that you do not be hasty and to wait until some new emoticons are formed as Adventure has been diligently creating emoticons of the old format recently as well. As a fellow user, I'm sure other users would want to try using her emoticons for a while.

Later, as new emoticons for the 32 pixel square format start to form, you can use sprites as a replacement for those missing characters if Renji wants to, which nobody would object to. I would also like to suggest making a new thread about icon submissions if you're following my suggestions to make things neat.

I hope you would understand my thoughts as sudden changes might bring uneasiness to people, so I propose that this topic/subject would be a more gradual step-by-step basis. I'm sure there are a handful of people in this wiki who can create emoticons too.
