In the book he is described as a yellow eyed (one eye), scraggy looking Tabby .. quite old too .. so. A tabby? :? Cant wait to see all the entries!

Faeriegirl83 · March 2009

*whimper* Here it is. I am going on strike against its text. If you want me to remove it I can, and you can get someone else to textify it! XD Or, should I move the text down a bit? 0.o I see big open space . . . and just about everything else wrong with it. XD <img src="http://img18.imageshack.us/img18/4681/simmountain3.png"; alt="http://img18.imageshack.us/img18/4681/simmountain3.png"; class="bb-image" /> bg: <img src="http://img23.imageshack.us/img23/5695/simmountain4.png"; alt="http://img23.imageshack.us/img23/5695/simmountain4.png"; class="bb-image" />

I love it.

I see the different apostrophes too! haha. It looks great, theres nothing wrong with the text, and the images are like, perfect.

Faeriegirl83 · March 2009

0.o Seriously? Guess my eyes are a tad overly critical. XD Hrmph. I think my non-text link broke. <_<

MondyFlax · March 2009

I personally don't like mine. x3 <img src="http://i623.photobucket.com/albums/tt313/MondyFlax/obernewtynmountain.gif"; alt="http://i623.photobucket.com/albums/tt313/MondyFlax/obernewtynmountain.gif"; class="bb-image" /> But there ya go.. I can always change the size of make it black and white or change the colors of the text..yadayadayada.. x3

Simm · March 2009

Looks great!

Updated first post.

And Tina? All graphic makers are overly critical .. at least I think so anyway. lol

Faeriegirl83 · March 2009

You can say that again. Considering my struggles with the apostrophy. 0.o

Midnight-star · March 2009

Ending in 48 hours if I dont get more entries!

DiamondPuppy0809 · March 2009

I want to enter, but I don't think my skills are good enough. Should I give it a shot anyways? I guess I've got nothing to lose except a small portion of time ;]

Simm · March 2009

There are only 2 other entries at the moment, so Id give it a shot.

Okay

I've got the background covered... <img src="http://i39.tinypic.com/262ba0g.png"; alt="http://i39.tinypic.com/262ba0g.png"; class="bb-image" /> Anything need to be changed? I'm not a very good horse-identifier... but is that an Arabian? xD If it isn't, I'll start the background over again xD *EDIT* Crap, I see that white line on the side now

Oh, well, I'll fix that somehow xD

Simm · March 2009

Its an Arab.

Looks awesome. I didnt even notice the line until you said something.. lol. Is it possible to tidy up around the Arabian? You can see a lot of grass and such.

I'm going to try and re-do the Arabian, yep.

I put it on too high of a feather. Lol.

Lol. S'okay. XD Cant wait to see it.

DiamondPuppy0809 · March 2009

Okay, I'm done >:] I finally got it all fixed. The only think I can add (if you want it) is a border now

Here it is... <img src="http://i41.tinypic.com/wjjau.png"; alt="http://i41.tinypic.com/wjjau.png"; class="bb-image" /> Liiiiiike it? ;p I may make another entry if it's allowed & if I have time! *edit* Damn, forgot my copyright x.x Well, I'll add that in a sec xD I have to make a Hannah Montana/Horse creation for my sister -sighs- :roll:

Simm · March 2009

Awesome. Adding it to first post now, and you can enter as many times as you want.

Everyone entering; Try doing it with the other colours too though. I have now 2 that are purple, and one that is normal. Variation people! :P

DiamondPuppy0809 · March 2009

Okay, I made one more.

I took more time on it, added variation, and remembered my copyright xD This one looks really good, I think! One of my best graphics!

<img src="http://i40.tinypic.com/2n7nwjq.png"; alt="http://i40.tinypic.com/2n7nwjq.png"; class="bb-image" /> Can't say professional, but I can say it's pretty darn good for MY work xD I'm normally absolutely terrible. I did notice that the text in the corner made it look sort of squished, but I couldn't put it anywhere else x.x Oh, and here's my copyrighted version of my first entry: <img src="http://i41.tinypic.com/347zjhh.png"; alt="http://i41.tinypic.com/347zjhh.png"; class="bb-image" /> :D There ya go. Good luck on choosing the winner xD I'm sure a lot of talented artists are going to start pouring in after seeing my crappy work XD

Simm · March 2009

I love em both.

I love the cat, like, how bright its eyes are. Wicked!

xD My favorite part, too. I colorized them. It was a pain to get the circles right and I kept getting the outer edges of it yellow. But I managed

It is pretty wicked

I am so excited I know how to do this stuff on GIMP now xD I was a GIMP failure about two days ago. Hah!

Howdy, Stranger!
