I wasn't happy with the orange emoticon, and have reworked it.

Nice new smileys, Almirena I really like your girl versions. And the traffic lights!

[Almirena]

Thank you for the encouragement! <--- one of my favourite koloboks; it expresses acknowledging thanks so gracefully and gorgeously...

I'm currently working on a complicated kolobok which is truly like a mini-drama episode.

[Almirena]

I hope this kolobok conveys the story properly; it is a defibrillation (getting the heart re-started).

[Aiwan]

Хорошая работа! Но на будущее, я бы посоветовал избегать сложных мелких рисунков в смайлах. Это я говорю про сердце, например. Его можно обозначить схематично и это будет правильней с точки зрения стилистики и реализации задуманного. Ждем новых работ.

Good job! But for the future, I would advise you to avoid complex small drawings in smileys. I'm talking about the heart, for example. It can be designated schematically and it will be more correct from the point of view of stylistics and realization of the conceived. We are waiting for new works.

[Almirena]

Aiwan, I had exactly the same thought about that heart. I have four other versions with different heart styles.

One of my attempts has the heart looking a little like a roast chicken - ai, ai, ai! Another looks a little like a Valentine cushion in the shape of a heart. The third... well, I can't help thinking that this heart looks a bit like a red Santa sack full of toys.

Anyway, I'll upload them here, and will be happy for any advice or for your suggestions about which version is most successful. (I also played around a little with the "shock".)








I will keep trying different heart ideas. And I think I'll go back to the first "shock" version as well.

In the meantime, I think I will do a circus set.








I think this is a better version for the defibrillation. The "Valentine cushion" heart was a nice clear image, and after a bit of fiddling around with a nice sinus rhythm on it, it seems to have worked out well.

Yes, the heart is much better now.

And such a nice circus set

Girl version of the gaoled prisoner:

(Also Aiwan's incredibly touching weeping girl in gaol, if you do not mind, Aiwan... I think that girl kolobok is outstanding in its verisimilitude.):

More for the circus set...

Circus elephant rearing up.

Circus lion jumping through fiery hoop.

Of course I do not mind Draw if you like it.

[Almirena]

Thank you!


I have another kolobok for the circus set; however, it's almost 300K and I can't reduce the file size any further without compromising the quality of the kolobok presentation...

It's a circus high-wire trapeze act.


Is it possible to increase the maximum single upload size to 300K?

(In the meantime, I've linked the image.)

A quick break from the circus set - to present the moon waxing and waning...



I'm not sure whether I should enlarge the black area; it looks a little odd as a black rectangle. Any ideas welcomed.

Version 2: Waxing and waning moon.

And with the moon actually kolobok-based:

I think this is a better version for the defibrillation. The "Valentine cushion" heart was a nice clear image, and after a bit of fiddling around with a nice sinus rhythm on it, it seems to have worked out well.

To my embarrassment, I realised I had left an extra set of hands on the surgeon at one point!

Corrected defibrillation kolobok:

Celebrating France's World Cup win, here is the French flag (boy and girl version) based on Laie's flags:

And... although Australia did abysmally in the FIFA World Cup, here's the Australia flag as well:
