Ok

My effort at painting rastapax "searching in the sky" (TY rastapax) was say... well... lets say abstract... for art's sake!

Now a mate of mine (not yet a pupppy user, but he will be when puppy takes over the universe and we are all taking orders off puppy powered autobots) painted this. (TY Steve, my mate)

Who here has the skill to convert this image to a transparent png? No shading or gradients please.

I'm doing it mick, only about 300 pixels left to delete

Here ya go, you its pretty much complete, it was more like 1000 pixels I had to manually click, but what the heck, you just need to put the circles around the top of the tail again.

thanks heaps ttuuxxx,

Unfortunately it wont work in Fontforge, I tried svg, eps, even giff, that almost worked.

Anyhow, Who cares? We now have a great icon to use however we want!

C'mon folks.. you know what to do!

Pick a format, I have the original still on gimp, I can't do svg, But I can do eps, but eps doesn't support transparent backgrounds. So the background would be white. Any others?
Here's the gif, made by gimp

Nah, gif I have to trace it... sheesh!
eps?

@ttuuxxx, thanks for trying mate, but NFG! Fontforge spits the dummy saying "the file is erroneous bla blaa". It seems the original file must be created as an svg or eps to work. I've had that error a few times today, even with simple stuff made in gimp. So I'll trace the gif in fontforge..

Ah well, back to the drawing board... literally!

@dejan555, the kiddies will love that one!

Cheers guys.

My attempt to draw a puppy. Pretty lame but I like it

New puppies, more GIMP, more images... Colours may look a bit strange though

Now you just need icons to match!

I changed the one dogs eyes a bit and added the wifi back to tail.
also recoloured the dogs, They were getting a bit pixelated.

Here's a special wallpaper for all Puppy users - 'Retro Time Machine'

This one sets a new world record - jaw-dropping 43 bytes and it still looks awesome!

You can't go lower than this without compromising the aesthetics (I can cut it down to 35 bytes,but then it looks downright ugly)

Put this midget in 'usr/share/backgrounds' and STRETCH it

Win.
