Cassiebsg · Wed 27/08/2014 16:20:11

It's a hard shape/topic... :O
I got a sketch, but it's far from finished. I'll try and finish it until the deadline, otherwise I'll post the sketch.

Tabata · Wed 27/08/2014 19:31:20

Nearly the same here.
I started something but I am not sure if I can finish it (in time)

AprilSkies · Thu 28/08/2014 15:27:54

Awww.. well no problem, Tabby and Cassie, if you need ask here for some days more

Tabata · Thu 28/08/2014 22:51:10

I don't have more time to work on my entry,
so I'll just let it go for the fun of it.

This snake became a bit dizzy
by searching for the way through that sand castle

AprilSkies · Fri 29/08/2014 10:19:52

It's wonderful!
I love it!

Cassiebsg · Sat 30/08/2014 18:41:04

Here, managed to get it more finished.
I choose to make mine with two different sand colors, a normal "yellow" sand and a gray sand for the "giant" octopus.

It could use more work, but most of the time I just don't have the patience or time...

AprilSkies · Sat 30/08/2014 19:28:20

OMG Cassie!!!!!!!!!!!

Absolutely Amazing!

siliconangel · Mon 01/09/2014 07:52:08

A little sandcastle for a little pet fish.

Since there are so many nicely animated entries and I need the practice I decided to animate mine too.

AprilSkies · Mon 01/09/2014 08:20:14

Hey Siliconangel, thanks for your entry! It's great! I really like those pastel tones and the way you drawn the pet fish

monkey424 · Mon 01/09/2014 18:23:33

1st: Tabata (For such an original take on using the obvious arch shape for something different)
2nd: Monkey (Because it's just a sandcastle, and expertly drawn)
3rd: Hobo (I like the idea of a sandcastle being built by tiny workers as a huge project)

Hobo · Mon 15/09/2014 16:56:20

Congratulations, Tabata! And thanks for the fun competition, AprilSkies.

Also, thank you all for the votes that got me this fancy silvery digging equipment. I can now go and build some more pixely sand castles with those thingies.

Tabata · Mon 15/09/2014 17:37:43

My confused (incomplete) snake that has ventured into the (incomplete) sand castle maze actually won?

This catched me by surprise here because of all the other great castles that have been done in a really cool and individual style.
Thank you all for such a lot of votes

Now I am off to play and brag with that magnificent golden pail and shovel

â€¦ and maybe I will throw in a new shape to be filled by our creative pixel pushers afterwards

Cassiebsg · Tue 16/09/2014 18:31:39

Congrats Tabata!

And thank all for a lovely bronze bucket and shovel.

AprilSkies · Tue 16/09/2014 19:08:42

Tabata, Hobo and Cassie!
Congratz!
I loved your castles!
But to be honest I loved ALL!

siliconangel · Tue 16/09/2014 19:52:35

Congrats Tabata!:)
It was fun to see so many different castles, I look forward to the next competition.

Mandle · Sun 21/09/2014 09:54:46

Congratz Tabata and the runner-ups!!!

First time I have checked out this particular contest and it looks like a LOT of fun!

I must remember to join in some time! My pixel-pushing skillz are quite poor so this might be a nice tune-up.

Tabata · Sun 21/09/2014 10:56:47

Thanks folks!

The next one is already on the run â€" you just have to find your groove, press it in shape and show it to us.

Would love to see a lot of different grooves, but it's all about having fun in the first line and all skill levels are most welcome

- so don't be shy and please feel free to join
