Oh I'd love a game using bears! Please don't let me start thinking up a bears game!

What with the sheep, extras-game, and I'm about to suggest something else... I'll be seen as a demanding little madam.

Wrong sort of ears, though.

Hello,

this is my little bump, asking for graphics. I think that we are slowly moving to the actual game being created, it would be really great if someone could take care of those graphics:
-animated sheep (nothing special, few frames with tail, head movement)
-juicy grass dots, seen from above, round of about 40 px radius (I like this style
-simple icons, such as: close button (cross), sound on/off, pause/play (rather small, up to ~30 px radius)

There is the issue with the dog, if someone could handle it, would be great. If not, we will have to live with a 'blob' being moved. Also if someone could think about icon for the game, it would be great.

I know it is a lot, but I believe in this community Together we can make a real game from it.

sheep
just lop the heads and tails off and have their position vary a bit
should animate enough initially?

as for close button mmm cant you just use the window buttons or will each app need its own?

i can see the need for the other glyphs because they arent there.

/me ponders how to convert kathys dog photos into cartoons

There's a photoshop filter/technique (i don't know photoshop, but i've seen it done) which converts a photo into a drawing
YMMV, but it may be worth a shot

@lcuk, if no-one will work on this, I will do it myself. But I'm a lazy and graphically-challenged person, so I'm asking for a full packet Plus I have played angry birds, so I'm in a 'damn, those are some cute graphics' stage

Hey, our sheep are a damned sight cuter than any bloomin' birds! Do birds have wool? And Qt faces? And our sheep aren't angry - which is bound to be cuter.

Seriously, the look of our game is good.

Found this in my inbox today. It made me think of Hopbeat...

(Yeah, I know this is spam)

A flock of sheep are romping in a field, happily going "baa baa" to each other and discussing life as usual when suddenly they hear a "moo mooooooooooooooooooo!"

They look around and see only sheep. They carry on playing as before.

"Moooooo mooooooooooo mmmoo!"

One sheep can hear it all too clearly next to him. He shuffles away a little from his friend, a worried look on his face, and then asks, "Georgie, why are you mooing? You're a sheep. Sheep go 'baa'!"

His friend replies gladly, "I know. I thought I would learn a foreign language!"

I made some simple icons. I can change colours, size etc.
I'm thinking about something more funny, but maybe after weekend.
