Hey guys,

Somebody recently suggested I add some new facial expressions to the game and I think it's a great idea, so I need the help of the talented artists we have in our community.

If you didn't already know about expressions, they are the facial expressions of your character that change when you type certain words into chat.



There are currently 5 expressions and they are slightly different for each race, Human, Elf and Hybrid, so you need to create your new expression for each race. The expression itself doesn't need to be different, but the colouring does.

I have attached a Photoshop PSD file with all 5 existing expressions for each of the 3 races. The layers are grouped by race. I have also included an example for the Hybrid race called Argggg. You will see it's basically the Sulk face with Cry mouth, and the eyebrows and eyes replaced with new ones.

As well as creating the texture, you need to think of the words that will trigger it, without using any of the existing words that you can see in the image above. You can use words or stuff like , :/ etc. etc. You can have up to 10 words trigger for each expression.

For inspiration, just do a google search for "chibi expressions"

GUIDELINES FOR SUBMISSIONS
1. You can create as many new expressions as you like.
2. You don't HAVE to create your expression for each of the 3 races, but it would be a shame to leave a race out. It's fine if they are exactly the same, but use the proper race templates in the PSD so you get the correct colouring and ear placement etc.
3. Submissions should be attached in a reply to this message in JPG format and also the Zipped PSD file.
4. A submission should have at least 1 trigger word, and 10 max.
5. There is no end date to this event - it will run for as long as people submit new expressions or until I decide to close it.
6. Not all submissions will make it into the game - they need to be of good enough quality and actually look correct ingame when applied to the character models.

PRIZE
The prize is having your work added to the game but I might think up some prizes if the submissions are quality
