Teach? What do you want to know? Pixels? or Photoshop?

Here is a pretty basic but good Pixel tutorial:

At the link above I have created a few new smilies for the site. They are songfight related.

any way you could zip up those pics for me? are they named like the ones in the zips i put up for you?

if you ever feel inspired to make some really weird songfight-only graphics for the board, that would be cool. the new folder icons and such that you made are really great; it would be neat to have a set that are kind of bizarre.

I'll zip up what I have done so far. They are all named to match what they would replace on the boards currently. I can work on some more "bizarre" ones for the folders and stuff.

As for the songfight-only graphics... I thought I did a good job of making the smilies be songfight related... the center row of smilies I have provided are all based on cover art items. i.e. Space Cadet, Bad Attraction, Cancer, etc etc...

but I'll keep making more... I didn't get all the different smilie styles created that you sent me.
