Hi Friends,
When I 1st visited the EM site a week or 2 ago, I saw a request for artists to make smiley parts. I thought there were instructions as well, but didn't read that part, because I wasn't sure I wanted to be involved, at that point. Anyway, now I've installed EM and played around with making smileys. Quickly I found myself wanting things that aren't available, so I'm ready to try my hand at making some samples. But now I can't find the info on the website about making smiley parts. If that page is still around somewhere, could you give me a link? Also for now, I have some questions.
First about size. In EM there is a little canvas there that perfectly fits the medium size faces. And I see that when a medium size face is saved, it is 20 x 20 px. I haven't played with the small ones yet, because I don't forsee myself using them much. But the large ones seem to have gained some popularity lately, so I played with them some. Anyway, when you save a large sized one, it also gets saved at 20 x 20 px, so you can only see the center of the face (obviously because it was cropped off at the canvas size). Also, if you have a medium sized face and put on for example, the cowboy hat, part of the hat gets cut off when you save it (Export).
Oh ok, now I see the "room"/canvas sizes. But even the largest room is too small for the large faces. They still get partially cut off by the canvas. But the largest room/canvas does allow for most of the "Wear" items (haven't tried them all) to fit and not get cut off. Hopefully this is something that can be fixed? I guess I was assuming it's a bug, but maybe it's something on my end. Am I missing something?
Fortunately for now, this doesn't stop me from starting some drawing
. So here are my questions about making more "parts" to contribute to the program:
1 - In what format should the part images be?
2 - How should I submit them: a) for approval, and b) for inclusion in the program? (plain old image files, PDF, ZIP, etc?)
3 - Where should they be submitted?
Thanks for your help
