Yep that's fine.

"Let the cat out of the hell"

People let the spoiled cat cooks laugh all the frozen broth way to Hell, throwing too many bags of stone at glass banks.

Anyone who can cram this in 170x110 pixels is beyond genius.

I'm going with "Let the cat out of the bank"  I know it's simple, but I've been iching to do an isometric piece.

"Let the Cat Spoil the Broth" :]

Ok.  I'll still call it "Let the cat out of the bank", but there will be more cats around...like it's becoming a problem that all these cats are hanging around....and a speach bubble from that guy that says OUT!

i think that's mine :3

i can see great entries already xD

Just an early WIP, what do you guys think of it so far?

@ dpixel: looks good, I love iso!
So far the contrast and colors on the wall and windows draw the attention from the cats, you might make them much more subdued, and give the cats wilder colors. Make more cats too!

Get some variation in the bricks; maybe add something on the right side?
Give the window some depth, it should recess from the wall.

And, your filenames have a double extension (2e20b9c.jpg.png), that could be a problem with some software.

@ susuwataris: looks like we're having another great piece from you! :D

"Too many cooks all the way to the bank" seems nic
Thinking of something...

orenshtiv@ amazing job 

thankx! and i thought no one will love it,lol :D

what i must write in --- Image URL:                        ?????

Have a look at this thread

"When hell freezes over, let the cat out of the bag"
Let's see how this goes, wish me luck.

Haha! I love it, Slaughter!

Long since i wasnt drawing :( :( but now i will try harder... my new work that cat is history...

You are nuts??? im painted in photoshop pixel per pixel?????? if you want i can share photshop file.. if you dont believe me... i just used in blue glasss opacity,that it have ilusion that cat is inside..... if you are such noob that you dont believe its your problem... and tell me why its not pixel art????

Because you touch yourself at night.

It's also because you've obviously used opacity, blurring, and 917 unique colors.

I posted it before he did

uhm, well its 'let the cat throw people', but its mostly just a persons heart.. lol

How about "Let the cat throw people at glass houses"?  ...Or...
                  "Let the cat throw people into hell"?   lol
