    Well, I'll make it a fairly open offer.

    I'd like to get a large collection of artwork for the forum. It would be good (for example) to have a wide collection of avatars for people to use. Fraklik also had the idea of some more Knightmare-specific smilies and topic posts, which would be awesome.

    So it seems like a fair trade to award special avatars/tag lines/group membership to people who make contributions to the forum. I don't have any precise details, but I'm open to offers.

    Obviously contributions would need to be fairly extensive. There won't be any prizes for producing a single smiley.

      That's fine, I'm sure you may have noticed that I've been doing some revamp of the Knightmare characters. So far, I have 10 sketches (soon will be 11 "Julius Scaremonger"). http://mangamad.deviantart.com/gallery/#Knightmare-characters

      If you like them, I can clean & crop some head avatars.

        Yes, those would be brilliant!

        If you can send me some cropped ones which are avatar sized I can install them in to the forum.

        I'm sure that would be worthy of some kind of status symbol

              I've not tried drawing much on a computer for quite a while, but Knightmare-themed smilies sounds like fun, and I generally have more success with small numbers of pixels. Don't hold your breath, though. I'm notoriously bad at getting around to doing things.

                The difficulty with our smilies is the dark background. Most smilies seem to be designed for use on a white background and are anti-aliased to match. When they get moved to a dark background you end up with annoying white pixels around the edges.

                  If they are PNGs then PNG's transparency features should sort that out. Make the edge pixels semi-transparent instead of anti-aliased to a specific colour, and they'll blend in with any background. The only possible issue is browser support. PNG feature support was definitely an issue a few years ago, but I imagine they're mostly OK, if not perfect, these days.

                    Sadly, they're GIFs.

                    I know, I'd love them to have been PNGs

                      But do they have to be GIFs? Perhaps I've misunderstood; I thought this was about drawing some new ones (or perhaps the BBS can't handle PNG smilies?)

                        Ah, sorry, I misunderstood.

                        The current smilies are GIFs.

                        However, PNG is an acceptable format.
