Custom mood theme!

I've spent the last couple of days making a custom mood theme in the hopes it might make me use moods more often. Yes, it's mainly Vila (he's my theme anyway, and besides, he's so expressive) but I've used others for those moods Vila doesn't have (e.g. Cally for predatory, Avon for geeky, Soolin for artistic). I'm lazy efficient and didn't bother to find pictures for each mood; if I consider them synonyms, I used the same picture, and some can be interpreted as a couple of different moods. All the same, I have around 70 different ones.

When I set my LJ to use the theme, I went to look for the most recent post which used a mood and laughed when I saw what it was. Ahem.

Oh that's beautiful...

:-) I'd link to the theme, but apparently I'm the only one who can see it.

Nah, figured it out; I had to add my ID number to the URL. You can see the mood theme here (http://www.livejournal.com/moodlist.bml?moodtheme=209229&ownerid=1451543).

I love it! The many faces of Vila.

You've put a lot of work into those, I'm glad they came out so well.

That's very impressive! Luckily, I don't do moods very often; if I did one with Jarriere, I think I'd be restricted to "puzzled" and "very puzzled".

He's incredibly expressive, and I was very pleased to find quite a few smiles. I had far too many 'worried' pictures to find room for though.

Thanks! I did quite a lot to each - correct colour, sharpen, add a smooth background if there wasn't one - and I'm fairly pleased with them. I suppose I could have tried to find unique pictures for each mood but 1) quite a few are synonyms and 2) I'm never going to use some of them (e.g. chipper).

:-D Aww, he's got a few more. Mind you, I couldn't use Vila for all of mine.
