Luya...

Yup, I think your modifications of these icons have made them better 
each time I see your updates.  I'd like to work with you to tweak it a 
bit to fit in with the set's color and whatnot.  I was thinking 
something like the attached EmoteB.png (with a darker blue face and a 
dark blue mouth instead of the harsh black).  I've also quickly modified 
the color for a "classic yellow" one as Nicu suggested above.  No strong 
preference...though if we do go with a yellow...I'd like to see a darker 
yellow -> yellow orange coloring.

The two devil icons still looks a bit odd to me, I think it's the horns, 
try making them a dark red?
Also, what do you think about getting rid of the white areas of the eyes 
for the smaller 16x16 size?  I think by just using the darker part would 
make them more clear.

ps. temporarily removed the nose cuz it doesn't show up on the smaller 
sizes...so thought i'd try it without the nose...hehe...what do you think?
