:lol:

I am pretty happy with that one, not particularly in my skills of making it, but more-so that it is a distinctively Australian term now represented via emoticon.
I wonder how many Aussie based forum sites are going to pinch it, to use on their site.... :roll:

On second thoughts... Though I believe previously stated by Steven... :lol: The above Gif Done18.gif is the property of Ausbonsai.com and is their sole property. Copyrights apply.

Thought the "Shocked" emoticon needed a bit of excitement... How's this...?!!!

:shock:

Come on guys and gals, when was the last time you had the opportunity to design an emoticon, that could possibly be on a nationally recognised forum site? Never and you never will again. ;)

Once again I am offering to make them for you, with your design/idea free of charge, no questions asked and you don't even need to state I made it.

I believe you will not see this again on any site, so get in line and create something unique that you may see hundreds of users use everyday for years to come! :D

Another subtle change, but I think worth while.

Here's a lil Gif I knocked up, kinda getting off topic from emoticons, but thought i'd post anyway. It's a parody of the "Bonsai Kitteh" (kittens in glass bottles) website,that went viral a few years back.
170 frames from an idea that came to me the other week, when I left some bonsai inside for the night, the cat decided to style the for me.

Hope you enjoy. :)

hey guys, i dont have any thing to make an smilie so instead i shall just resort to describing my idea, then if someone wants to they can always fiddle with the idea,

my idea starts as a healthy enough tree and slowly dies away and withers to a bone white stick,

basically for the beginners that have had their tree up and die on them,
