    I made some tweaks to existing smilies (Cow & Spider) and added some others (Dog, Bat) since the last update. Just curious to know whether the new spider tweaks are better than the previous variation?

    I've broke away from the .png format for the bat emoticon, and went with .gif because I felt this animal is better conveyed with animation though I think I'll be providing a static variation of it in .png format for consistencies sake and to prevent matting problems.

    As always suggestions and criticism is welcome. I know this is a long drawn out process but I'm finding these animmal smilies tougher and more time consuming to design.

    Awwwwww - I liked the old spider better. :p - He needed a cuddle, the little special spider. Though the new ones alright. ;)

    I like the mouse a lot.

    I see you changed the dog; I hope you saved the previous version and will someday release a pack of dog smileys :)

    You know what I'd love to see someday? A set of animal (dog? bird?) smileys that shows the entire body to portray the emotion using animal body language. Putting human expressions on animal faces is cute, but a set like that would probably be well received by animal lovers.

    (Wish I had a million dollars so I could hire you to crank out all my ideas!)
