violin ork version 2

Whoo, that new one is awesome . Any chance you could give the salt shaker the same treatment? (So that you can actually see it's a salt shaker without needing the word... and bonus points for a more neutral ork expression )

Really nice work!! Kyoto's already pointed the powers that be this way, too

Like that?

edit: On second thought I think I'll work on it some more, it's kind of hard to see the salt when it isn't on %800 zoom.

EDIT 2: version 2

EDIT 3 version 2.1 minor tweek
More edits: variant face:

How did you open up or create the GIF in gimp? I tried opening my own gif first in gimp when I started this thread (I have that program too) but it only opened a single frame as if it were a normal image file.

I assume you used copy/paste, that just gives you one frame ("Pasted Layer" ). You need to save the picture to a drive, then open that from within gimp itself.

To save it, just export as "NameHere.gif" when you're done.

EDIT:

violin ork version 2

I opened it up manually after starting the program, no copy/paste. I'll have to see if I missed something or had a side bar minimized or something. I think the second violin looks great! Thanks for changing it!

He's a regular Benedetti dat he is

Glad to see I'm not the only amused by the sight of a little orc playing a violent

Oh my gosh, I think the final version of both are perfect! Absolutely love the salt shaker and that dubious ork face

Yak has already posted up that he likes them, so hopefully we can take the next step and make these a reality as forum options soon

Thanks so much to warboss and Destroyer_742 for the amazing work here!

I'm biased but I still prefer the ork pinching the salt into a pile rather than the shaker. Whatever yak or lego decide though is fine with me. And, just to repeat, I love the violin v2.0 orkmoticon!

I think the pinch one looks cooler, but the shaker one definitely gets the point that its across better. I can definitely see someone somewhere seeing the pinch one and not really knowing what it means.

The shaker one is also very tall. I’m not a huge fan of the orks that break up text into irregular rows by being there.

Everything looks cool though. Well Done!

What if the ork backed up a Trukk (which naturally had salt written on the side of it) and dumped a pile of salt out of it? Sort of like how the ninja one starts out blank. Because honestly that seems more accurate at times.

Well with the Warhammer Community portal we're honestly getting less "dump truck loads" of salt these days as they get debunked more quickly. But yeah, at times it's appropriate

Oh I was thinking of the ymdc section.
Salt can also refer to someone being flustered or otherwise upset. As in they're acting salty.

yes, it's way too big to use as a orkmoticon, and I didn't put a lot of effort into making the trukk look orky, but I thought it was funny.

That one is awesome!

You are DA MAN when it comes to animated icons!!!

For someone who just got suggested software you learn pretty quickly!

Now I'm trying to think of what insane plan an Ork has for a red dump truck full of salt...

Beasts of Nurgle do look kinda like giant slugs...

So he's gonna drive hella fast into the Warp just to dump some salt onto Nurgle's garden?

Sounds pretty orky XD

With a massive power storage device for a Zzap gun.

So it can be a salt and battery.

Oh dear gork and mork XD

Groan

I do like the dump truck, something to pull out in special circumstances, perhaps (but probably not add to the forum options, since we don't need two).

Yak is planning to add the Salt and Violin later this month, good work lads!!

Helps them go faster on fenris.

Haha these are great

Made a few more

What?!?

No Alpha Legion Icon?!?

(You know, the "A" with the chain across the front!)

Hmmm...

We need Imperial Knight icons!

sure

I like it!

Any chance you can make it 'just' the "A", no background?

(Please?)
