I like 6 and 12 and 13 the best.

All rough draft, I can't tell if I'm making the eyes grey or light blue, and for the face it's pure black on white, no shading or anything.
Some are just plain stupid, but add to the general idea. My vote is bottom left.

More round is kinda hard, the mouth is 2, 3 or 4 pixels high, adding a pixel to the side looks really weird, look at number 2.

Yes! Jotie. That's just what I was looking for, except possibly a little more round than square. Maybe.

^And maybe this too.^

And you may want to center the mouth on the :3 face

omg, I read this magical statement and then the actual thread title changed on me. weird!

this needs to happen

dope!

i think the mouth should be a little lower on the face, more of an expression of awe or bafflement instead of an "oooooo" like "ooo that looks goooooood".

that's rad

I made this one once for giggles.

Making the mouth a little shorter seems to work.

rough draft, I can't (pixel) art / am collorblind

I give up

I'm just saying... I'd prefer if there was no smilie for that combination of characters than to have one that misrepresents them. But if everybody uses the : o emoticon in the same way that Bit Wish's smilie diagram illustrates then nevermind.

Just figured I'd ask, though.

Speaking of cats, requesting a cat :3 face.

I keep thinking the title of this thread is "Simile request", like a blind fool.

:0

you know i actually thought the same thing so dont really use it. interesting.
