Yup! It's been overdue for a very, very long time, so I'm finally here to tell you, this is the launch of a brand new emoticon project!

I hope you're all ready and eager to take part in it, so here we go...



In earlier projects, I've strived to build something really high and something really wide, so I sat there thinking what the next direction should be. Well, the most obvious choice, thinking threedimensionally, would be depth, but that would be quite hard to make something out of. So, when on the buss the other day, I realised: I should just aim at huge size, period.

Born was the idea of the Emoticon Kingdom, or more simply the EmotiKingdom.

What would it include, you ask? Anything. Absolutely anything. I want everyone to simply create anything they wish. What I provide for partisipants is a “board” of sorts to place creations on. A flat, isometric surface that people can build and create anything they wish within.

Daunting? Perhaps, but I think you’re ready for the task.

Here’s the basic Base Template I created for the project:



The size of this plane can be expanded in any direction, and there’s infinite room for anything you might possible want to add.



Well, yes, ofcourse, otherwise everything would be a royal mess. So, here are some guidelines:

-Your entries can be howerver large you wish, however they need to go by the standrard scale of deviantART emoticons, where a standard emoticon is 15 pixels tall, 15 pixels wide.

-There can be slight variations in size and proportions to the actual emoticons populating the world, but buildings, landscapes and objects need to be scaled to fit the above mentioned standard. Otherwise, things will look odd in the end.

-While overall size of an entry isn’t really limited in any way, don’t go out of your mind making something so huge that it would crush the world or anything. If you’re worried your idea might be too big or odd, just ask me about it.

-All entries must be static!



Be imaginative. Think outside the box! Create emoticons that live in the kingdom. Create buildings where they can live. Create mountains, seas, beaches, shoppingmalls, roads, godzilla, or whatever else you wish. There are close to no limitation as to what I will accept!

Think of it as a project in which you have almost complete controll of the end product. I’m only here to place your creations on the plane.

Here’s an example, it’s my first entry to the project:



Cause every kingdom needs a border and a border patroll. Or something.

And here’s what it looks like added to the project:





First, submitt your entry to deviantart.
-The entry must be in either GIF or PNG format with a blank background. Otherwise, it will be really bothersome for me to add them to the base.

_{If you don’t submit an entry as a deviation, it will be hard for me to give you proper credit for your creation.}

Second, send me a note with a link to any entries you want to submitt.

There’s no limit to how many entries you can send!


I will try to respond to your note as soon as I can and will try to update the project as often as possible.



Start right away! Make as many entries as you please.

If you want, show your support for the project! Journals about it, stamps about it, and whatever else you think could help.

I want this to really be the largest community project ever here on deviantART.

Let’s rock!
