    Default A special request for a Hilgya Smilie

    I am not sure how to make this request, but when we make post replies, we can choose some standard smilies, or we can choose an OoTS smilie like these:

    Given that Thog, Nale, and Miko are dead, is it possible that a Hilgya smilie be added to the choices?
    I am not sure how to make one of the quality that Giant would accept, and I realize that he has far more pressing things to do with his creative time.
    I suspect that we have many talented pc/digital artists in the fan base who could do the job of creating the smilie, and then submit one for Rich's approval?

    Anyway, I thought I'd ask to see what the art of the possible is. (yeah, pun intended ...)

    The official smilies haven't been updated in over a decade and are based on who the major characters were and what they looked like at the time, hence the lack of Blackwing, Scruffy, Tarquin, Hinjo, Celia, O-Chul, Xykon's crown, etc.
    Until then there's this:
    as per the unofficial smilies thread:

    You may not know this, but in the 1960's there was a TV show called "My Favorite Martian" wherein the martian was called by his earthling friend "Uncle Martin."

    Stars of the show were Bill Bixby and Ray Walston.

    I thought it was a reference to Lord of the Rings when Denethor is going to burn Faramir.

    His post was so many people put that extra e in my screen name I just wanted to poke a little fun.

    In reality I stole this screen name fom a friend who gave me a thief he roled up in 1981. So this is the first D&D character I ever played in module G1 Steading of the Hill Giants.

    I use the name everywhere people comment on how stupid and horrible it is. You can use anything and you pick that.?!

    I wonder if this is why on line dating never respond to me.
