I really liked vomiting hear-no-evil face with open eyes and head bandage

I was going to complain that there needed to be more options, but then I made smirking woman with rolling eyes and it looked a hell of a lot like me so I guess I can't.

I was a little disappointed as I wanted to make the Transmetropolitan smiley face, but it wouldn't let me.

I hit randomize a couple of times:
- angry sad woman
- thinking skeptical crying face
- neutral disappointed face with glasses

I've never felt so seen.

Drooling winking thinking face

Pretty much my commute, yes.

Sad sleepy hear-no-evil face looks like my pre-caffeine self.

You can overlay multiple eyes and mouths and make some really charming horrors gazing back at you like a gasping void.

I tried, but the generator wouldn't accept negative positional values. All I want is a TransMet smiley. Is that TOO much to ask for?

This is very cool, but is lacking at least two elements I need to make the emoji my friends and I have been looking for: a toque and an "a-ok" hand-sign.

Then I'll have the "chef's kiss" the world needs.

"sad face with pleading eyes and party hat", for when you really want to go home now
"scared see-no-evil hear-no-evil speak-no-evil face" for when you're being overwhelmed by grabby monkeys
"drooling relieved cat face" for when yes that's the spot right there don't stop please

I love this one I saw on tumblr: the BE NOT AFRAID emoji.

I feel like a pretty good approximation is within reach.

In a similar mood to the BE NOT AFRAID emoji, a whole collection of eldritch emoji (from an artist who did a series of unnerving angles for Inktober).

Here's a ton of 'em.

Dammit I can't make my laughcryvomit emoji on this.

It's simple, but skeptical_angry_thinking_sad_face.png was exactly what I've been wishing for.

It does if you use the up/down arrows instead of trying to type it in.

I managed this for transmetropolitan:

I see now I forgot the little curve on the smile, and probably have too much rotation on the outer eyes.

Cheers to you too! (Important safety tip about working with Sam - Never leave a smiley on an unattended whiteboard!)

It's worth noting that you aren't limited to just two of a given eye 👀👀👀
