I could use some help. I need an icon for a guinea pig that matches this style: all white, rounded lines, simple.

This will represent "click here for guinea pigs for adoption" message on the new version of a site where I'm splitting out the zone adoptables into their own site. It will be right after the home page icon. Also this is the exact size needed as well. When hovered over or selected, the background will switch to blue. So, I need white guinea pig image!

Thanks!!

Thanks. I'm looking for simple. I have graphic artists I can ask, I just thought maybe a member might want to come up with something for me before I go that route, since we have a lot of talented folks here.

Ah well. At least it gives @CavySpirit an idea of what it looks like. I think it's great.

I could draw a really simple full-body profile of a piggy, if you wanted.
How soon would you need it? I've got a lot of stuff going on, but I'd try to get to it as soon as possible. :)

Yay now people will stop looking at mine :D looking forward to seeing yours! Measurements were 77x72 pixels, and soon as possible im guessing is when she needs it.

It needs to fit in with the graphic icons I posted. I've contacted my graphic artist. Thanks for trying, I really appreciate it, but this isn't what I'm looking for.

I know I'm late to this, but I tried my hand at it anyway. Not sure how well the white one with the transparency will show up (it's a .png file). Here you go:
white pig2.png white pig2 on black.png

It's only the silhouette for the icon, (first the original .png image and then against the black so you can see better). I couldn't figure out the background colour shades since there was obviously a slight gradient thing going on, especially in the blue icon. Instead of looking for silhouettes online, I made this one from a picture I took of my own guinea pig so all copyrights belong to me (no royalties, etc.) and you are free to use it for the site if you want.

The width is 80 px for convenience' sake (you can easily resize it in most graphic editing programs, but if you want I can do it for you if you give me the exact size). The height is not much but trying to make it more 'square' -ish made the guinea pig look a bit abnormal... so yeah. Not too high quality; if you zoom in, it pixelates almost immediately so I don't think you will be able to use it if your icons are bigger than 80px and I lost the original un-resized file. :C

It was the simplest silhouette I could come up with and it looks a bit raw edged against the pure black but I think it will look a lot better against the slightly lighter shade of background you have in the other icons.

ETA: If you want a more cartoony one/ more simplistic one, I would be happy to try again. Especially if your graphic artist is going to charge for this, because I won't.
