Awesome, I may join this contest.

Also, those trophies are Alicorns. At least, that's the usually accepted term. The correct term would be Winged Unicorns, but that would be the equivalent of calling Anime "Japanese Cartoons".
Too many words to state something which already has a widely accepted name.

I will trust your expert opinion on this matter.

I just drew a horse with wings and a horn and didn't delve too deep into the binomial nomenclature of my creation.

DBoyWheeler · Wed 14/12/2016 21:14:24

I've decided to enter. And made a quick but cute entry.

This is Belle daydreaming that she's a lovely princess in a springtime field.

Mandle · Thu 15/12/2016 16:52:48

I've decided to enter. And made a quick but horrific entry.

This is Belle daydreaming that she's a psychotic soldier in a wartime killing field.

Yay! Two great entries already and I absolutely love that they're so contrasting, yet somewhat similar

Smoking something illegal in the field behind school.

Hard-working Belle has started hanging with the wrong crowd!

CatPunter · Fri 16/12/2016 12:36:16

You get a gold star if you know what music video this is from.

Mandle · Fri 16/12/2016 14:00:56

These three entries just fit together so well to tell a story arc that I couldn't resist this GIF:

[IMGZOOM]http://i68.tinypic.com/2ekhriq.gif[/IMGZOOM]

Hopefully, we will get a bunch more to add to the ongoing story of the very stoned Belle as she trips out on day dreams of herself, and what she could become...

DBoyWheeler · Fri 16/12/2016 14:49:38

to Retro Wolf: You're sick! But it is kinda funny.

to CatPunter: I'd want to say "When You See a Chance" by Steve Wynwood, but I'd probably be wrong.

to Mandle: You're even sicker! And do I really wanna know in what order the pictures go?

Did you zoom in and see what's hanging on her necklace yet?

NickyNyce · Fri 16/12/2016 18:07:04

It looks like an ear!

Retro Wolf · Fri 16/12/2016 20:27:04

Yes I have a sick sense of humour, but in real life I don't approve of the use of drugs.

It's good to know.

Drugs are bad, m'kay?

Surely she's using prescription drugs, because of the PTSD she got from that Mandle's entry.
I do like this emerging narrative and am eagerly waiting to see where this goes next.

SERIOUSLY!!! She must've been taking lessons from Vlad the Impaler!

Danvzare · Sun 18/12/2016 10:10:44

All these violent daydreams she's having.

She sounds just like me (and probably every child in existence).

She is both a queen and a despot! Let them eat yellowcake!

It would be awesome if someone could continue the GIF chain... I don't have the time...

Creamy · Mon 19/12/2016 10:35:05

Let's balance these violent daydreams with good old Christmas naffness.

Belle always dreamed of a horse, having long hair, nice dresses and becoming a princess.
Also doing a wild ride with her dream man shows up sometimes.
Don't know if that cigaret she smoked earlier that day has something to do with it.

Creamy, I can't wait until after the voting, simply can't help it, sorry - but that entry of yours is sooo on the top and cute.

Don't worry, they have an outlet. It's called The Sims.

Also the entries here are looking incredible.

Blondbraid · Mon 19/12/2016 16:47:26

Creamy, your entry looks great and very Christmas-y!

Tabata, that's a fun and super cute interpretation of the shape,
though for some reason her dream man reminds me of Michael Jackson...

Wow! Neat stuff, Tabata! You sure didn't "horse around" with these!

@ Blondbraid : Thanks, I like how your bloody Mary picture is crammed with details despite the low resolution.

@ Tabata : That's a cool beard. He's not your usual Prince charming.

NickyNyce · Wed 21/12/2016 21:33:27

Belle will never forget and continues to daydream of the day that the ground shook and the trees cracked. With her hair blowing in the wind, the natives chanted louder and louder....KONG!

DBoyWheeler · Wed 21/12/2016 22:17:20

Hopefully gaps will be allowed in the shape, as long as the main overall outline stays the same.

NickyNyce · Wed 21/12/2016 22:41:15

The outline is perfectly intact. Using gaps can be a great way to open up more things you can do with a shape while still following the rules. I'll respect whatever the host chooses.

Gaps are fine as long as the outline is logically colored, NickyNyce's entry is completely legit for me.
Also, with so many quality entries I might have to add another trophy to the list.

By the way, I'm still wondering about the music video that inspired CatPunter's entry. Any hints?

Hobo · Fri 06/01/2017 17:26:00

There's a couple of days left, the competition ends on Sunday 22.00 (forum time).
Use this chance to submit the first coloring ball entry of 2017!

jwalt · Sat 07/01/2017 16:54:34

So, is Belle dreaming of being Polly, or is Polly dreaming of being Belle? And, if you're so inclined, which one wants the cracker?

He, he, he â€" but you are to blame for that dream man anyway
because before I saw your cute entry mine has had white hair, too (... and not just his shirt has been red)

Hey Peter,

Where to get those stuff?

I am a tester ... 'ahem' ... so I feel the need to test it ...
