If I asked very very nicely..

[MooseIBe]

Do any of you people have the know how to make Lord of the Rings or Harry Potter smilies?

And if that isn't nice enough, I begs! :yup:

[livius drusus]

Erm... You mean like these?

:gimli: :legolas: :saruman: :gandalf: :gollum2: :onering: :frodo: :eowyn: :orthanc: :ent: :orc: :ogre: :balrog: :arwen: :sauron:

:dumble: :snape: :harry: :hagrid:

The search feature is your friend. ;)

[MooseIBe]

COOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How come I didn't know they were there before?? http://www.freethought-forum.com/forum/images/smilies/icon_gollum.gif

[Shake]

'Cause there's like thousands of smilies here! But yeah, best to try the search function.

Hey! I call sexism! There is no Hermione. :pout:

[Gurdur]

,,,,

[MooseIBe]

Heh i've been looking through the categories today but I bet I've still not seen even a fifth of those that there are :)

[livius drusus]

Okay, okay. Here's :hermione:. I didn't upload her before because I thought (and still think) that's she's totally generic looking, but I just couldn't stand to see Beth pout like that.

I tossed in the rest of Mazeguy's HP collection too: :ron: :draco: :moody:

[MooseIBe]

I like the Ron and Malfoy .. would never have guessed that was moody though! Looks a bit like Beethoven or someone..

[Ensign Steve]

I could tell it was Moody, on accounta the eye. How come he wasn't there before?

[livius drusus]

I just didn't like any of those guys much is all.

Er ... isn't this Barad-dur, rather than Orthanc? :orthanc:

Orthanc didn't have the big wing-like extensions, nor the top portion where the Eye of Sauron resided. Or am I mis-remembering?


Cheers,

Michael

[livius drusus]

Oh, um, yeees... I knew that. :shifty:


/me adds that one to her find and replace list.

[raspberrybullets]

Should have known this is where Gurdur got them from. :doh: He's been impressing us with LOTR smilies and I thought him so clever! I must remember that his cleverness only extends as far as coming here to steal them. :yup:

[MooseIBe]

:orthanc:

I dunno what it is, but I think it's hitting on me...

In the movie Orthanc did have those spikes at the top, like where the Eye sat - recall Gandalf's being imprisoned up there. Not sure about wings. Barad-Dur on the other hand is a vast many-towered fortress; despite the wings, :orthanc: does look like the single spire of Orthanc.

* livius drusus adds that one to her find and replace list.

I think you can strike that one from your list:

Orthanc (http://www.collecttolkien.com/images/Orthanc.jpg)

Barad-dur (http://img-nex.theonering.net/images/scrapbook/6866.jpg)

Although, I guess they do kinda look similar. But, I say that the absence of the lidless eye confirms that the smiley is Orthanc. That and the spikey-thing in the middle of the two wings at the top of the tower would be basically impaling the Eye, if it were Barad-dur.

[Gurdur]

Not only all that, but if you look at the file name of the icon, it says "orthanc", so the creator meant it that way.
