The vertical hand movement sliding down the face seems the main action. The palm is too quick both to and from the face.
Needs to stay there longer imho.

I agree, its funny i was just saying that dakka needs a facepalm orkmoticon

Borkin, YOU ARE GAWD!


yeah, dakka needs a facepalm orkmoticon (lol thats a weird word )

Like it, but it could still be better before we add it. See this thread for more attempts which never got completed fully:

As usual, I have no Talent, so i am shamelessly haxxoring up the real attempt in gimp.

keep the eyes open until the slap flash appears and I think that is it

So, you mean something like this?

It is perfect. Do not change. This, The Lord of Eating, commands of you.

I think it zooms too much. It feels like the hand is coming from miles away. Apart from that, perfect.

Just chatting about it now in the mod forum, so if all is ok it should go live in a few days.

Splendid. I do agree though the hand is a bit too far starting. Let me edit it tomorrow (too tired now) and I'll post it up here.

Can we have the command be :faecplam: ?

Nah, it can only be :gwarpost:

I like it!

Ok, two versions for you to pick from.

The second one.

Yes.

Thanks Borkin, Gwar and everyone else who contributed including the other thread. The facepalm icon is now live and can be used from the list of emoticons on the left hand side of the new post/reply to post form.

Lego, I loevs you.

Can we have a supersecret :gwarpost: tag just for little old me? (I kid I kid).

It finally happened! Thanks Borkin/Gwar/Lego!

Is DakkaDakka able to use orkmoticons from the Waaagh!!!.com, such as the ork whipping the grot or the killa kan stomping the grot, or is does that break copyright infringements?

i heard (well read actually) that the guy who made them wanted them to be unique to that site so he let dakka have only a few.

I predict much self-serving abuse of the facepalm orkmoticon. Allow me to begin

Close. Grimteef originally created the Ork emoticons for Dakka, but then he worked on artwork for the Waaagh he took all his existing ork emoticons over there as well and then continued to add more of them on that site.

When I bought Dakka I contacted Grimteef and asked him if we could use some of the more basic emoticons that the Waaagh had but we didn't. He agreed, but we both didn't want to have completely mirrored sets of emoticons on both sites, so I definitely agreed that we should leave the more elaborate emoticons as exclusives to that site (since it is completely Ork themed).

Yeah! Face Palm Orkmoticon...I could've used this a couple of months ago.

I just got a boner. As far as I'm concerned, everyone involved in making this is Ork Jesus.
