Ok, i will wait. (i am too excited.)

[wdym-lmao]

I've decided I'm going to create U+1FAE9 Face with Eyebags

[wdym-lmao]

done (update 12-08-24: new eyebrows and i think i moved the face downward? i forgot its been a long time since i edited this)

72×72 png

[HaNerW10]

done (update 04-04-24: fixed minor node issues and right eyebag position)

can i revamp it?
the revamped :

(you can use it to change some of my svgs i made)

[HaNerW10]

tried making splatter emoji (1FADF)
update 1 (4/6/2024): fixed the pixels not correctly (40x??)
update 2 (4/6/2024, again) revamped the old with new ones
update 3 last (4/6/2024 AGAIN AGAIN) revamped reasons the splatter emoji is not in the position with the droplets i used for the svg.

The eyes aren't as low as seen in https://www.unicode.org/L2/L2023/23236-esc-report-q4-2023.pdf, which is what I accomplished. I was planning to use the frowning mouth asset from U+1F641 but it didn't look good, which is what you seem to be using in your revision of U+1FAE9 although the mouth is a bit modified from the original.

unicode's subcommittee style.

[wdym-lmao]

I plan on fixing the color palette for all emojis and moving the eyes one pixel closer to the center as seen below:

Not many of you will like this change.

i also don't like the change.

[wdym-lmao]

maybe i should make my own version of twemoji

[SpiritAxolotl]

maybe i should make my own version of twemoji

no one's stopping you from making and maintaining your own fork of twemoji tbf

[wdym-lmao]

we're able to change the color of the splatter to whatever the community would agree to most!

[wdym-lmao]

here's the unicode document that mentions this btw

[wdym-lmao]

There's several errors in this image:

• The file should be 36×36 pixels and not 36×~24.5
• You used 2 different shades of purple
• There's a duplicate of every shape on the canvas
• The smaller drops, which shouldn't exist, are transparent
• The entire splat should be one shape, and not multiple drops

[HaNerW10]

you also used 2 different shades of purple, and there's a duplicate of every shape on the canvas; the smaller drops are transparent and the big splat is just normal

i draw bad

wait do you draw the emojis with a pencil tool instead of placing nodes and whatnot?

Yeah because I don't know what is nodes

Nodes are the dots that make up the path (aka the shape) object.

i am with you

[wdym-lmao]

Just realizing that 😷 still uses the old version from 2014, so I updated it to reflect most vendors' designs

[xDEADC0DE]

Did you notice that the fingerprint image from Noto emoji had a question mark hidden in the design? 😀

Any updates on the release of Twemoji 16.0 now that Unicode 16.0 is out? Is everything finalized?

[jyo0329]

I tried to draw Root vegetables in twemoji style!

[nataliakeniganti]

Leafless Tree

[wdym-lmao]

Leafless Tree

this could use more shading

@Mercury13 Design of Sark flag Source: https://github.com/Mercury13/unicodia/blob/main/NotoEmoji/Remakes/Flags/C/1f1e8-1f1f6.svg

[wdym-lmao]

Unicode 17.0 Emojis are already being proposed, so I made the inflated emoji before a seperate Unicode 17.0 emoji issue shows up.

[wdym-lmao]

The codepoints have been accepted as seen in this revised document

[Moise946]

I can't create ANYTHING in Inkscape 😭

[mbasaglia]

I've created an SVG for the Sark flag by combining elements from flag: England and flag: St. Pierre & Miquelon

[yutose]

emoji 17.0 apple core emoji. idk how others go big but mine does not

[yutose]

landslide

SOMEONE MAKE THE ORCA

[wdym-lmao]

emoji 17.0 apple core emoji. idk how others go big but mine does not

@yutose what i like to do is optimize the svg file on svgviewer.dev, then check all of these optimization preferences shown below (or you can check off "remove viewBox" to get what you're asking for)

Landslide is bad: it displays fur tree instead of rocks falling.

[imaddictedtoemojis]

I'll change it later

[Mercury13]

WHY DID YOU SAY MY LANDFILL IS BAD

Because it does not fulfil the task of emoji. You don’t see falling rocks, you see a hill and a tree.
At least remove tree and enlarge rocks. And I’d change mountain from earthy to rocky.

And it’s a landfill (i.e. the place you bury garbage in), not a landslide (a natural disaster).

[imaddictedtoemojis]

ohhhh

[imaddictedtoemojis]

better now? landslide

[Mercury13]

Better but…

1. I’d change mountain from earthy to rocky.
2. Strange detail: rocks are too detailed, the mountain is flat.
3. Play with rocks’ positions: they are not falling. Refer to road sign of falling rocks.

[nataliakeniganti]

Fixed

Fight cloud for my Unicodia (non-optimized).

Some complaints:

• All of these colors do not belong in the color palette
• The corners are too sharp

[Mercury13]

Some complaints:

* All of these colors do not belong in the color palette

* The corners are too sharp

Where is it written? I checked all the repo and found nothing. If you show me the palette and guidelines, I’ll try to squeeze to them.

[wdym-lmao]

@12Me21 found a good chunk of colors from an old twemoji update here #41
As for the edges, there isn't a guideline anywhere that I can find at the moment but it is recommended to round them to one pixel on the grid
