>sticker I drew for him
That's pretty neat, but I haven't seen that; how do you do your own stickers? I don't think anyone would argue against being able to send free-form drawings. The stickers in Skype and Telegram, otoh, seem to be mostly "meme junk". Random clips of TV, or (IMO terrible) cartoony drawings.
My daughters use them sometimes, same with strings of emoji. But I find it expresses far less than words would do. It's like they're just hunting around for a cute image, with little thought beyond that.
- egypturnash 10y agoLine and Telegram both let users upload their own sticker sets. And I am a professional cartoonist who thinks nothing of spending her spare time drawing a bunch of goofy drawings of one of her characters. Really I kinda had to; all my pro cartoonist friends have them too, and I felt naked talking to them without a set! http://egypt.urnash.com/blog/tag/stickers/ http://egypt.urnash.com/blog/tag/stickers/ has an older version of the set I did for myself. Still haven't posted the set I did for my boyfriend. I'm looking forwards to being able to dump these into Apple's sticker market. Passive income off of something I did for my own use, woohoo! (There's also a thriving trade in custom stickers: gimme a couple hundred bucks and I'll crank out a set of goofy, expressive drawings of a cartoon character you like to be on the Internet.)
