Hi Ric,
I might re-issue a challenge with free custom graphics as the prize, but I'm not convinced it would go over well in the medialess challenge thread, I was accused of spam way back when, when I cross posted the info about my challenge,.. let me go see if I can find the challenge post.. brb...
here is a copy of the original post..

Super Duper Minimalist art media Challenge
See that silver ball? Ever hear of plinko? Or the random-odds ball drop test? (pyramid of pins that the ball drops off with a 50-50 chance of dropping left or right when it hits a pin.) Or think you can turn it into a skittle ball? Pinball? Chrome bowling ball? Cannon ball?...
Challenge: Surprise me with what you can do with just this tiny sprite.
Deadline: 10 Days (ends Jan 27th at midnight)
Prize 1 custom bitmap (you tell me what you want)
Begin... and have fun!
Cheers!

I figured a tiny 25x25 sprite might be acceptable as a 'minimal media' item, aparently it was 25x25 pixels too much.
Anyways, I still think this simple sprite has loads of potential as source of inspiration, but I have no idea how to re-issue the challenge without steping on peoples toes. If you have any ideas, feel free to 'try' and get interest in this. I'll still be willing to offer the prize of a custom bitmap.
Nuf said, Cheers!
