UPDATE: It was tough to pick a winner, and of the artists I asked for advice, everyone had a different favorite. But I picked Cormac McEvoy's Dr. Mario as the grand prize winner. Thanks everyone, I'll post a new contest soon.



This month's art contest was improving the Nintendo's 3DS's red screen of death. Below are the wonderful entries. I'll announce a winner later today.

Apparently this is the Nintendo 3DS's red screen of death. Kind of hard to believe that in 2011, Nintendo would design such a cold message instead of its own version of the Fail Whale.

Your challenge is to create a delightful error page for the Nintendo 3DS. As inspiration, check out the creatures The Oatmeal created for Tumblr:



Submit as many entries as you'd like. All entries must be submitted by midnight Los Angeles time Sunday May 8, 2011. Best entry will win a $100 Threadless credit.

And of course, you can buy the 3DS at Amazon.
