Coloring Ball - Methods of Transportation - Winner declared!

selmiak · Wed 11/02/2015 14:47:14

Welcome to the new Coloring Ball.

The theme this time is Methods of Transportation. Anything goes, a train, a car, a bus, a spaceship, a snowboard, no matter what, at least it has to be able to transport people. Or just goods. You don't even have to add passengers, but of course this is a nice extra touch.

And here is the form:

[imgzoom]http://i.imgur.com/WonsFRW.png[/imgzoom]

What you can do:
Color the dark outline.
Rotate and also mirror the shape.
You can use all the color you like.

What you can't do:
You can't change the shape.
You can't distort the shape.
You can't make the shape bigger.

Happy painting. And don't hurt your head trying to figure out how to cram some vehicle into the form

Please submit your painting until the 25th of February 2015.

Move your vehicle (and your ass) to earn one of these unvaluable shiny bling bling rim trophys to get rolling even more!

A TRUE STORY IN A BAR TABLE

Spoiler

- A trip? What do you mean?

- Are you gonna travel or what?

- I know... you gonna to Machu Pichu!

- Chapada Diamantina!

- Arembepe!

- No my friends...another place... look!

* Since my daughter was born I relearned to marvel with the simple and beautiful things. I could go again to a infinitude of emotions and feelings that so long ago I had forgotten. In the real episode was a jet plane... those who leave a trail of "smoke"...you know...

When my little girl was 3 years old she was so excited to see them... she told me... with a big smile... "Look daddy...! Is the Chihiro's dragon!"... and wherever we were she always called me to see them flying and we did "Byeeeee" with our hands... "byeeeee"... as I did when I was a kid ...

From these moments I created this habit... every time i see a plane across the sky I stop everything that I'm doing and look at the top in silence with a big smile... like a passenger... losting my mind in the infinity blue... oh man...in this times some people look at me with a strange face (lol)... but i never care... I'm flying and I will never lose this heaven again...

Holy Heck Pindo!!! That shit is awesome!!! Especially with the charming story to go along with it!

selmiak · Thu 12/02/2015 12:16:30

hey Pindo, this is a great use of the shape. When I posted this topic I was worried for a moment that the shape is too mean, but now you got the ball rolling. I'm very interested in with what the other participants with spontaneous inspiration fill the shape.

Cassiebsg · Thu 12/02/2015 20:27:55

That is insane Pindo!

Worse part is, as if the shape wasn't hard enough, now all I can see is that brilliant paper plane on it!

I<3Pindorama! · Fri 13/02/2015 02:27:26

Shit for me, Shit for you...
That this shit can always fertilize the ground
And feed the red seed planted in our soul!

Thank you for the sweet comments!
This is a special community with shiny people and monsters...

http://youtu.be/Niy4Q_1d8Zw

I believe that memory was being excavated from the moment that Cassie has put her wonderful kite dragon ... beyond of a little joke also had a profound poetry about how the child's fantasy does not recognize "borders". As a boy I believed that the lost helium balloon always goes to the space ... just hope it was not shot down... probably many here also already thought about unusual things flying through space.

Then the next "shove" was a quick and pleasant conversation with Mandle about childhood. By the way my daughter thanked for that kind comment about her game's project!
Oh... and we love to play the

First Big Adventure

Spoiler

We really delighted with this sweet work by Masahiro and Moeka!
Please, Mandle tell them that some Brazilians played and had fun enough!
We love all the draws ... the bear ... the lion ... and specially the kokoro-robot!
[ http://youtu.be/tGbfs6HZDNo ]

Oh... and we will want a seed of "Masa-hero's" Markerus Nomonreikus tree (in draw)
to plant it next to our coconut and palm trees here in Bahia!

Man, i would love to talk about the end of this game but as said Clarice Lispector,
is the kind of thing whose living the experience goes beyond any understanding.

Congratulations, Mandle!
I do not know if you have a child ... but it sure is father of many!

The end excavation cam up with this incendiary challenge of selmiak (here at home is known as "King Enigma"). Knowing his admirable and not conventional creativity ... i could have sworn those lines had been made in order to resemble the small plane-of-paper.

selmiak, I'm sure that your challenge will dig amazing surprises!
And see in the end of the competition your art on your own challenge would be awesome!

1 week has passed, only 1 week is left...

...let's get things rolling. or flying. or floating. or skating. or pixeling. or driving. or falling. or running. or bouncing. or...

or cooking!

Mandle · Fri 20/02/2015 13:39:14

I do have an idea of what I want to do with the shape. I hope I have the time to get it done.

selmiak · Fri 20/02/2015 21:36:15

transport these thoughts und ideas to fill the shape into your painting fingers!

There are 3 trophys up for grab now! Don't be late and miss this train!

AprilSkies · Sat 21/02/2015 08:16:03

I really like the theme, but I couldn't find the time to entry... ugh..
not yet...

selmiak · Sat 21/02/2015 12:03:38

@ AS: In other words the shape is too good and you have no idea how to fill it...

@mandle: I hope you find some time this weekend, I'd love to see your filling for the shape.

@everyone else eventually considering painting something: If both deliver, all trophies are gone, but if not, there is a chance for some easy trophy grabbing there. But better make it good, there might be some sneaky great last minute entries...
I'm really interested in how you fill this coloringball shape!

AprilSkies · Sat 21/02/2015 12:14:40

Just lovely.

I'm still fiddling with it, think I've tried like 10 different stuff with no luck.

Maybe my last idea will be the successful one.

I tinker too!
It is still uncertain if it will work , but I am an adventurer - so I try.

Unfortunately there is no hope of an English description for you.
That's why you will need fantasy!
(a lot of it)!

Let's say, it will become something like a space elevator

Ha, ha, ha!
A race to orbit?
Cool! No prob ! I'll await you at the top!

selmiak · Mon 23/02/2015 16:58:28

flashy entry April Skies, I booked my trip on the van already!

Will there be even more entries? I'd love to see Mandles's and Tabatas vehicles inside the form

Tabata · Mon 23/02/2015 21:48:52

Please let me present you a method of future transportation:

space elevator

[imgzoom]http://fs1.directupload.net/images/user/150223/iqbbdkix.gif[/imgzoom]

Here we have eight gondolas that transport you within the tube of that space elevator up to a platform in orbit to watch the stars (or mother earth - in rare case of missing clouds).

Lots of couples in love use to book a trip to represent the question of all the questions (special discount during the week).

Every now and then a gondola is put off to replace it with a little space shuttle. This shuttle will start its journey to outer space from the platform (this way an immense amount of fuel is saved).

btw.
For safety reasons, the entire system is operated exclusively by vocal control system. There are no buttons because it is told about some strange people that call themself AGS'er. They seem to be members of a support group and are unable to keep their fingers away from buttons. A hard training with special programs that don't allow to push the button will hopefully help them to recover - poor guys.

This little representation also includes a short special appearance for to proof Mandle that I was faster than him.

selmiak · Mon 23/02/2015 22:36:32

I love blinking blinkenlights, so my ticket for the space elevator is already booked!

Mandle · Tue 24/02/2015 05:21:21

Haha Tabata...You beat me to the top!

My concept was quite different though but actually today I had another inspiration that I think I will go with instead:

A flying aircraft carrier (kinda like the ones in The Avengers)

I will be working on it tonight...

Also: your elevator looks awesome for inclusion in a SimCity type game!

Mandle · Tue 24/02/2015 17:22:45

When I was about 10 years old I walked into the local video arcade called "Orbit", made my way through the cigarette smoke (yup...it was the 80's)...and saw a new game...

The name was weird and yet enticing: XEVIOUS...

As soon as I looked at the screen I was in love...I mean, what was going on!? There were spaceships flying around but the background was NOT space...Instead of some stars scrolling by we had a beautiful landscape: forests, rivers, lakes, roads...And a range of incredible pixel art enemies never before seen...

So for this entry I finally decided on a tribute to:

XEVIOUS

So yeah, Xevious had some awesome bosses but it never had a flying aircraft carrier that could deploy aircraft while you fought it so:

[imgzoom]http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c201/Mandle/Carrier08_zps3397d9ff.png[/imgzoom]

and here it is "in-game" just as my own private fantasy of what it may have looked like onscreen:

[imgzoom]http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c201/Mandle/CarrierBackground_zps1786a3ef.png[/imgzoom]

I hope this brings back some memories for anyone else who loved this old arcade classic...

It's great what you guys managed to do with an "impossible" shape...

I had many many ideas, but had to throw all away, cause there was just like 1/3 to 2/3 of the shape left to fill.

So, I officially give up.

AprilSkies · Tue 24/02/2015 17:38:47

OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mandle, you made the HUGEST progress in pixel art I ever saw!

MANDLE 1337!

Tabata · Tue 24/02/2015 18:01:01

Mandle!

I knew it!

To be faster will get me the only chance for my five minutes of fame.

Now I have to confess that your entry is stunning â€" real pixel art
including well set highlights and shadows and perfect in the shape.

A very well done piece, Mister!

*clap, clap, clap*

selmiak · Tue 24/02/2015 22:28:39

wow, Mandle, this is a great piece of pixelart! Nice that you raise the bar

Just a reminder: there are still ~ 24,5h left until this contest closes and voting starts. If you want to have a go, now is the time.

WRK · Wed 25/02/2015 19:50:12

I guess this is some kind of teleportation device
or maybe trans-dimensional portal. Hard to tell...
it's not made by humans.

Mandle · Thu 26/02/2015 00:58:17

Cheers for the nice reviews everyone! I learned a lot about pixel art on this one, and also by watching what other great artists have been producing lately.

And WRK: Amazing entry...I can't wait to play your games in this style!

selmiak · Thu 26/02/2015 22:39:54

)

2nd: I<3Pindorama

3rd: AprilSkies

Tabata · Thu 26/02/2015 23:05:04

That was a very hard shape to fill and even harder after I saw the first entry that always appeared in my mind when I tried to find something else that might fit.
Thanks a lot for the little extra race, Mandle (I had fun to include a tiny Tabby because of it)

Now we have to choose the best entry and again I have a hard time when watching all this well done pieces

I am very happy that pixel art wasn't required for the submissions because I am still in love with the first entry.
The idea and also the story behind it is heartwarming.
Those smooth sparkles give it a wonderful touch of a precious memory.

My votings:

1st I<3Pindorama!   for what I said before.
2nd Mandle        for all the tiny details and that I can think about it to be placed into a game like it is
3rd AprilSkies        for that stunning shadows and lights that give it depths and a kind of 3D-feeling

WRK ~ Sadly I only can vote for three of this four awesome entries. Nonetheless I want to tell that I like your pixel art and the animation. Also welcome in the forums

Selmiak, good choice to book a ride with the space elevator - it is a cool adventure with a stunning view!
I hope you didn't get fooled by the 'special blue superdiscount'?

It is extremly cheap because you signed the disclaimer contract and will get the newest test gondola. No worries - it is save and comfortable including snak bar and such.
There's just one little thing to worry about . . . it has a small red button . . . to open the gondola!

So please . . .

Mandle · Thu 26/02/2015 23:18:41

Just briefly as I might not have much time over the next two days. I will add comments if time permits:

or just nuke it and collect score bonus.

While thinking about my Intergallactic Ship MKIII
in my mind, I'm picturing exactly this thing. Well done.
