Featured Emoticons:</u>

1.
All i can really say about this is ‘Droneguard’s done it again’. Bounce together is an epic emoticon with brilliant shading, awesome expressions and flawless animation. I really wish i could steal his talent.

2.
Be happy mah friend by JulienPradet is a great emoticon with a well thought out and executed idea. The story flows well with awesome use of expressions to create an adorable piece of animation work.

3.
After a break from emotes Abfc has returned and returned in style. His range of skating emotes including :showup: are all adorable with smooth animation throughout and great attention to detail.

Although the text can be hard to read at times, : KeepMeGoing: by entertheplayers is an adorable lil emoticon with an amazing pixel bg tahts too good to miss.

5.
:overyourhead: by AutumnOwl is a simple but effective emoticon and a really great take on the over your head movement.
