The theme is
MYTHOLOGICAL CREATURES, meaning you can do any kind of creature from ancient mythology, or just something random from your own imagination of course...and here are the shapes:
(http://i67.tinypic.com/vsde69.png) (http://i63.tinypic.com/1zyarlj.png) (http://i65.tinypic.com/30iyhqs.png) (http://i65.tinypic.com/aktmyd.png) (http://i66.tinypic.com/bflzkm.png)
Of course, it's fine if you just create the obvious creatures from these shapes: But also by rotating/flipping the shapes you may be able to come up with something surprising.
The border-lines may be recolored. You may use as many colors as you like.
You may enter as many times as you like, and may use any or all of the available shapes at will.
BUT WAIT THERE'S MORE:Seeing as mythological creatures are usually a mashup of two or more known creatures:
Let's go a step beyond the norm with this round of Coloring Ball and allow mashups of mashups:
You can
also paste two
or more of the shapes together (rotated and/or flipped at will) to create a new shape as shown in this Mermaid/Griffin combo:
(http://i68.tinypic.com/2zyanx5.png)
Just try to stay true to the original drawable areas by deleting the lines that cross over when the two (or more) shapes are combined and keeping the drawable areas intact...
Also, please use only complete shapes: No fair just cutting out the wings from the griffin to put on the minotaur.
No, you must overlap the entire shapes.
There is no limit to the number of shapes you can mash together nor is there a limit on the dimensions of your final image...But let's try not to get ridiculous (or maybe
DO get ridiculous...whichever is the most fun!)
The time limit will be until the end of June...so...
GET KRAKEN!!!Entries are now closed and voting is open!

This post reserved for trophies and other updates, as the closing line of my top post was just waaaaaaaaay too good to spoil by posting crap under it :-D
I'm not a big fan of multiple shapes coloring balls. And now we can mash up the shapes?
I'm in (laugh) (laugh) (laugh)
i want to believe that droid Raphael was an inspiration :P

I thought it might add something new to the round, but perhaps it's just detracting from the charm of Coloring Ball?
We will see I suppose... :-[
Here we go then! Spent a few minutes for this :D (http://i1160.photobucket.com/albums/q492/Alcotrash_79/30iyhqs.png) (http://s1160.photobucket.com/user/Alcotrash_79/media/30iyhqs.png.html)
Hahaha! Awesome, Mouth for war!
Could you make it zoomable? We deserve to see all the fine details!
Haha glad you like it man :D Here's an upscaled version (http://i1160.photobucket.com/albums/q492/Alcotrash_79/30iyhqs2.png) (http://s1160.photobucket.com/user/Alcotrash_79/media/30iyhqs2.png.html)

YES!!!! I was sooooooooo hoping someone would use the Medusa head to make Cthulhu!!!
(And a good thing you didn't position the head a few pixels lower...That middle snake...sheesh! (laugh) )
Awesome entries! I gave it a try, even if I couldn't think of something special :

Creamy: I love the simpicity of the work, and using the Medusa snakes to form the surf around the rock is truly inspired!
I'm going to extend the deadline until July 3rd as I'm planning to sleep for the next three days now that MAGS is over...
G'night!
Sorry for the delay, folks.

Damn, just BARELY missed entering this coloring ball (wanted to make a mermaid with extra long hair). Well, I vote Creamy's (1), Blondbraid's (2), and AnasAbdin (3).
1st Creamy
2nd Mouth for war
3rd Blondbraid
1st AnasAbdin - so random yet so good-looking ;-D
2nd Blondbraid - the concept and execution are very good.
3rd Mouth for war - funny litil divil.
It was very entertaining - thanks to the host and his creative new version of a colorball.
Great entries, interesting ideas and well done (http://s14.directupload.net/images/user/140716/qbils3zv.gif)
1st Creamy
2nd AnasAbdin
3rd Blondbraid
I also started to come up with something so cool (... and failed miserably). (http://s1.directupload.net/images/user/140718/ma8uuy4b.gif)
But it's not my fault you know - I knew in my mind exactly what it should look like. (nod)
Then it happened that this mean reality came along - just to change my work into something I not
want it to become. It might happen always because I am blonde - no other explanation I can think of (roll)
My vote:
1. AnasAbdin - It looks like a boss of a JRPG, awesome plain and simple!
2. Creamy - So simple, yet so elegant.
3. Mouth of war - the little guy just looks so darn happy!
1. Blondbraid
2. Creamy
3. Mouth For War
Cheers guys for the praise of the custom format for this Color Ball!
I was a bit worried at first that it was breaking the pureness of the contest, but I'm very glad that people warmed to it and produced some incredible works!
Damn...Tabata...I really wanted to see that pic, even if you didn't think it was "all that"...
1. Creamy
2. Blondbraid
3. Mouth of war
The tallies are in...First place votes were awarded 3 points each...Second place: 2 points...Third place: 1 point...
And here are the final tallies:
Blondbraid: 26 pts
Creamy: 28 pts
AnasAbdin: 18 pts
Mouth For War: 6 pts
It was close but Creamy won through in the end!
Sorry about the lack of trophies (so far) but I didn't want to just churn out some half-assed ones...Maybe later...
So...It's over to Creamy!!!
Yay! Congrats Creamy :-D
great entries! Thanks for all participants and voters :-*
I deliberately avoided asking about the trophies because of some older incident with Mandle (laugh)

Yeah....sorry again...but only so many hours in the day and so on...
That's unexpected :smiley:
I go on holiday tomorrow morning.
Blondbraid, could you handle the next coloring ball please?

Well, I'm also about to go on holiday soon! (roll)
Though I think I can try to handle it from where I'm going,
my main concern is that I've no previous experience and I'm
not sure of how to make a fun and interesting coloring ball...
Damn i forgot to vote. Sorry guys. Didn't mean to come off as arrogant or something like that :-) I think all entries were really good!!!! Congratz creamy :-D
Thanks Mouth of War.
Since Blondbraid and I don't have any idea for the next Coloring Ball, I entrust to AnasAbdin the task of hosting it.
