Mascot/Logo Competition - 1500 credits

[tondopie]

I need a mascot for my site, however I have been unsuccessful in making a very good one. I want one that can match up to the following:

GBAtemp (Sorry for the size):

DCEmu:

A Nintendo DS themed one would be preferable. A general video game themed one is ok too.

Oh yeah my site is: http://opensourceds.net

The design I pick will win the designer 1500 credits (or more if I really like it).

Did you make those graphics?

They are REALLY good.

 

[Joshua_Abdon_Sly]

You're site opened a bit slow, maybe it's my connection...
However, if I found the time to make you a nice Nintendo DS themed one, i'll post it

 

[Sohail]

Do you want one that is similar to to one you posted, by the way, did you make that one?

 

[tondopie]

any luck with one anybody?

BTW, I need not make the above logos, I'm just using them to set standards.

 

[jjwinter]

I got one I am working on... its getting close I'll post it when I am done.
Edit:
Here are 4 different versions of the model I made. Let me know what you think and if you want me to change anything.

 

[tondopie]

no, sorry its too close to my competitors logo, and it does not meet the requirements.

It would help if you set specifications, i.e. an animal, certain colored clothes, certain style of drawing(manga, realistic, cartoony, etc.), color themes.

Here is my crack at it:

It was a 30minute or so job, I can add specifications or detials, or even start from scratch

The scrollbar is a powerful thing

 

[Retinal]

Okay, how about a deranged pokemon?

EDIT:
Well I already read that, I meant as in anything more specific than a "ds theme",
as in any specifications, or just go wild

 

[XGI Admin]

Does it have to be human-like or can it be an object that revolves around your theme.

 

[tondopie]

it can be anything as long as it is DS or general Nintendo or video game related.

and also no Pokemon . A DS related mascot would be great, you know maybe like a DS with hands and a face and such.

I gave it a go but im not done yet =/ i need to figure out a way of getting a ds in the picture. I'll complete tommorow or maybe the next day.

Here It is:
(Sorry for the size)

If you look at his popsicle stick (above) I wrote open source ds news on it =Þ

EDIT: I put it on a DS! I tried to make it as real as possible.
Also I engraved "Open Source DS News" On the bottom of the DS

I'll be making alot more untill it fits your intrest

 

[jjwinter]

These are all custom made. I did not use a stock picture. Its two versions of my dS Guy. I can make this character any size. I can also add text into the "screen(s)" on request. Note the background is transparent as a PNG.

high res versions can be viewed here

its getting closer but the guy is a little bit too close to my competitors. Could you change the eyes to something different then my competitor's. Could you also make a copy of your final version with the left arm sticking out where I could have it holding something?

 

[XGI Admin]

umm, if you could give me an image of what you want to put there that would help.

EDIT: I gave him the peace sign and also with his eyes i put screen shots of ds games, mario is in the center. (SORRY FOR THE SIZE!!!!)

 

[tondopie]

almost there XGI! Just two more things:

1). Take away the Text on the hat and sort of transpose the header/logo image of my site on to there. (The url of the images is: http://opensourceds.net/Themes/OverViewLight_tp/images/logo.png (It is transparent)).

2). Make the hand a little bit more like the hand on this:

 

[XGI Admin]

kk, so you dont want him to hold anything?

Here is my design. The actual size is about twice as large and everything is customizable.

Here's a 500x100 banner. I made a vector of the DS (using my black one as a reference) and it's a whole lot bigger. My original file size is 1000px x 1000px. So, if you need it bigger, there's no problem. Here's uhhh "D"...the mascot... LOL

Here's the logo by itself:
