The spring is in it's full swing, so it's time to get cheerful! Draw me something cute!

It has to be AGS-compatible, obviously, and you can submit multiple entries. Ends on April the 27th.

Go on, start spriting already, and don't forget to have fun!

If nobody else enters, I've got a shot with Philip Larkin.

hofmeier, yes, he's an absolute epitome of cuteness. :D Funny stuff, though! :)

TheRoger, well, you can always put them in a frame and call it a talk-portrait ;) That's a sprite too, right? Or is it?! I will allow it, anyway :)

Well, I made this transparent, so...that goes as AGS-compatible, right?

Sughly, that's a cute puppy! I love the wide mouth design, and I like to think that there are lots of huge scary teeth inside.  :)

TheRoger, all hail Lithuania, huh? Nice chibi ^^

Keep 'em coming, people!

By the time I realized that the kitty's fur pattern was much too complicated to read well as a low-res sprite, it was too late, but here we go anyway:

My kitten used to sleep like this, with her face buried straight down into her paws.
55x30, 10 Colors + transparency.

 I thought I give this one a try. So long since I have drawn chibi. Used GIMP - haven't used it for years and back then I did only did few linearts . Thanks for this CUTE theme, had a good practice. Made several sketches, but decided to go with this one. Didn't really count colors, but shouldn't have too many.

Ta-Daa

SpacePirateCane that cat is just MEAWsome. The zoomed version is blurred in my browser (my problem) but that makes his/her fur look very natural and fluffy.

SpacePirateCaine, this kitty is absolutely adowable! Great realistic technique, too!

Saberteeth, it seems slightly sad. Aww.

Lad, nice! Love the single sock :)

Alright, nice turnout, people! Now do more! :D

Studio3, that's quite nice, although I really want to punch him for some reason :P

Hey-hey, people! Only a day left, c'mon, just a few more entries! For the kitties?

I fear in my aim for cute, I created nightmare fuel

The concept's great, Studio3, but Tifa's a busty long-haired brunette - that looks more like Ashe from FFXII to me?

You sure? The face really reminded me of Michael Jackson, may he rest in peace. I do like Hudders' intense rapist bunny.

Ran out of time with this, but I thought it would be neat if Lord of the Rings was redone as a children's film with cutesy animals instead of people.

Presenting, Gandalf the Frog!

This is supposed to be when Gandalf, Bilbo and Thorin and Co. take shelter in a cave during a storm away from stone trolls who are tossing rocks about.  Gandalf decides to make some scary smoke-shapes of Smaug and tell a few stories before bedtime.

Thanks, I edited her to fit my game and also to try something new.

And that's it! Thanks a lot to everyone for participating, a lot of nice stuff! I love that frog-Gandalf and the idea itself, ProgZmax!
And those rabbits are indeed creepy as hell! ;D

But, after a long and careful deliberation, I pronounce SpacePirateCaine the winner! Kitties might not be the most original idea in the cuteness department, but here it's done with subtlety, tenderness and grace.
Congratulations! You get a Hello Kitty badge of honour: (http://dl.dropbox.com/u/5234992/hellokitty.png)

Aww, thanks, Ilyich! I figured that since kitties are kind of "Played out" on the internet, that it wasn't so likely for a win, but I personally can't think of an animal more deserved of the 'cute' title. Many thanks to you, and a big shout out to everyone that participated in the contest - it's great to have so many people with so many interpretations of the theme.

Also in regards to Hudders' "Never be alone" IRB - this character needs his own game. Get on that. Please.

I'll work up a theme for the next contest ASAP and post up a new thread.

Thanks again!
