Minion Needed
Update: Got 'em! Not one but two critterfolk sent me some great graphics for happy minions, so I'm rotating them. Thanks so much to Gabriel Landowski and JJ McConnachie!Watch the donation side bar area for their happy (and very happy) green minions.
Hey, I could use some help from the gang out there... I need a graphic image of a happy Critters minion. About 30 pixels square.
This is for the donation status on the right side bar. Right now it
just shows a happy face for a happy minion who's been fed a recent donation.
I've got a sad minion face I like,
but I need a good image for a happy minion.
Anyone with artistic ability who could create one, or anyone good at searching the web-o-sphere who could find a good one?
Thanks!
Andrew
