Rodan's Roost had them back before KP absorbed them, so it's possible.

Actually, the reason why the kaiju smilies vanished is because when former admin Saruman left his position, he requested that all his contributions be removed. That included a large chunk of stuff on Rodan's Roost and KP, as well as all of the kaiju smilies. Thanks to users like Zearatul and SuperXAsh, we've been building them back up, though they're still a shadow of what we used to have.

Eh, actual sprites are pretty much impossible to do within a 15x15 limit though. Unless Arbock wants to increase the size limit for any potential smilie makers. I suppose it is possible to make a Kaiju's head in that size though.

EDIT:

See, its kinda bad. Now, I'm not saying the dimensions have to be massive, but just a few pixels larger than 15x15(maybe around the size of the...chinmoticons) could help when making them.

I like things uniform, what can I say. 15x15 isn't much to work with, I know having had created the Xilien one with those dimensions.

However, I would like them at that size. Also, yes the chin ones will go eventually... I just need good replacements.

Why not just, like, use the ones from the old forum? That seems like the simplest solution, unless there's something I'm unaware of that prevents such.

Nothing that prevents such, if a better set of smilies doesn't present themselves then I likely will do that.

But yes, I wouldn't mind going back to ones without "chins"... although not sure if they will all be the old set. This makes a good topic for people to post new smilies in here and maybe see them get added to the default set (please 15x15 pixels too).

ZOMG Reallys? Cause you know, I could make a few smilies(I am a spriter, after all)...

You get my vote.

Chin Smileys are horrendous.

Keep a few chin smilies in case Jay Leno registers.

Someone else would've done it

I actually like Leno

(not really, of course)

I know you are perfectly capable of reusing the ones from the old forums, but is it possible to actually remove the chin ones?

EDIT: Does anyone know why my animations come out bad in GIMP when I try to add transparency?

Animating in GIMP is such a simple process, but you can't have transparency without that happening. Any suggestions?
