Anyway this time I'm letting myself go with the flow and talk about Kitty - AROS mascot, first designed by the famous Amiga Illustrator and animator Eric Schwartz. His work is vast and well recognized and appreciated by not only Amiga fans but a much wider audience. His most recent work is available in Youtube, but you can follow it's monthly web comic Sabrina Online (Which is also an Amiga inspiration character)...
So asked upon creating a character for AROS, he designed this sexy kitten we all grown found with...
Mascot images can be downloaded here: Aros.sourceforge.net/kitty
Lately interviewed on AROS-SHOW, Eric Schwartz admited the possibility of more work on Kitty - See the full inteview on AROS SHOW!
But the sexy kitten would never get another role or pose, and AROS users/fans begun to deliver some mockups and ideas based on kitty for several purposes...
Such as:
and lately I stumble upon a rendition on Amiga.org of Kitty on a completely new pose done by anglosaxonusa:
There's also a honorable mention on the MorphOS Tans and AROS one (check OS-TAN wiki for more info)
Lately there's been interest in getting Kitty mascot onto SuperTuxKart, as character driveing her own car... Info on AROS-EXEC and FreeGameDev Forums ... Quite a deserved honor, but I believe still pale regarding its role on AROS life, and it iconic presence that immediately makes AROS recognizable to the eye!
So here's my plea... Help Kitty get back to life - lift it to more modern design features, more poses, more personality, more life beyond a simple still iconic image for an about window or a logo on a Web site!... Either with drawings, mockups or nagging Eric Schwartz to get her fit! AROS identity is somehow tied to her, so let's have it - Show you work...
And please enclose your exploits to this address, so that I might add to the above collection - > joao (dot) r (dot) ralha (at) gmail (dot) com
