Hybrids
You surely remember this guy (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0099487/mediaindex), or even this (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120800/mediaindex) terrible attempt at a so-called animated classic!
Although very different in viewing pleasure, both films feature some kind of hybrid between living being and tool/appliance.
I want you to go to your lab and/or magical cave and construct such a hybrid:
It can be any living being, animal or human, crossed with any tool or kitchen appliance.
There are no restrictions size, colour, or resulotion wise... go wild!
Great subject! Had fun with this one...

I've made a little inspirational piece:

Anyone for freshly ground Kopi Luwak?!
Edit: By the by, a really cute entry there, Sughly !
Mad, that's epic!
Anyone here particularly good at bionics?
I love your art Sughly!
Bump ;D
So, only three more days to go!
I guess Sughly would appreciate some well earned competition...

I'm working on something. Been busy lately, but I'll get it done by the deadline. (Though I probably won't have time to animate it like I'd hoped... oh well.)
Ok, I'm going to close this in about 12 hours from now!
@Alun: If you still want to enter, but need a little more time, just say the word.

Definitely still planning on entering... hopefully I'll be able to have my entry in within the next 12 hours. Sorry for the lateness; it's been an unexpectedly busy week.
And here we go. I'd hoped to have time to animate my entry, but, well, it's been a busy week. Still, at least I got it done before the deadline (barely).

It is, of course, a refrigegator.
Alrighty, this jam is officially over!
And I think I can decide this one by myself ;D:
Sughly, your sprite is really excellent! It is well executed and has a lot of character, but unfortunately the light bulb is barely recognisable as something artificial. It could be any ole glow-dragon ;).
Alun, your mobile fridge is a great idea, although I'd be not too keen on getting the beers out of there myself. This is a good example of what I had in mind, when I thought of the topic!
So both of you grab yourselves a well deserved trophy: The Edward Waffle-Iron-Hands!!!
The silver one goes to Sughly:

And the golden one to Alun:

Thanks to both of you for participating!
Well I guess we know what got the dinosaurs - it wasn't a meteor or the Ice age, it's just that they didn't defrost themselves regulary. ;D

Never got around to finishing it, but here it is.
That's supposed to be smoke coming out of his ears.
Whoa, my first contest win here! I like the trophy, too. (I ought to get around to editing my signature to show off my trophies now... ;) )
So... I guess I start a thread for the next Sprite Jam now? Do I do that right away, or am I supposed to wait until a specific day? (Sorry for the stupid questions; like I said, it's the first time I've won one of these...)
Haha, fair enough. Congrats on getting your entry in Alun! Nicely done ;D

I wasn't really expecting to get the gold... your entry was very well done. But hey, I'll take it. ;)

Pity, that's as always a lovely sprite. Hey, now we'd just need a bionic dishwasher and we'll have ourselves a nice portable kitchen!
If you care at all, also take an Edward Waffle-Iron-Hands in bronze:

Like I said, it is a great piece of art, I for example wouldn't be able to produce. Maybe I am being a bit nit-picky, but someone has to win, as sad an affair that is.

I guess you can start whenever you're ready. Just be there when it ends in two weeks time.

OK, I went ahead and started the next jam, then.
Anyway, I really enjoyed this theme, and Sughly's and loominous's entries were definitely great quality work (even if the latter was a little late). And I do like the trophy. Great job, everyone!
