<< The Fabric of Spacetime >>


Anomalies are happening everywhere in the universe. Scientists can't decide what are they yet. So far, most of the theories are going with random cracks in the fabric of spacetime. Scientists sent a few objects through them and they just disappeared and never came back. Some theorists claim they are time rips, specially that some major historical evens have changed after a few people jumped in some of them. The cracks can appear anywhere, in public places, under your dinning table, in the middle of the ocean, in the atmosphere... they have no limits.

Their shapes are different but mostly like this sprite:



They can be rotated 90, 180, 270 degrees
They can be flipped horizontally or/and vertically
The outline can be colored
They MUST be animated
The animation is at least 3 frames *


Trophies
Space Quest IV TimeRipTM

       


Deadline is August 16th 2016, however due to the current events, there is a chance someone may travel through time and change this date.


* Except animations using color cycling



Voting Time!

Please vote for your favorite 3 entries by mentioning their corresponding numbers under each animation! To make things easier for everyone please use this format:

First: ##
Second: ##
Third: ##

Good luck to all participants! Voting ends August 25th 2016!

Congratulations Cassiebsg for winning this coloring ball! and Congratulation to Riaise & CaesarCub for the 2nd and 3rd trophies!
Thanks to all contestants, all your sprites are wonderful and are now placed in The Intergalactic Museum Of Cracks (laugh)
Thanks to all voters and everyone participating in this coloring ball :-*

I'd like to personally thank both Creamy and Blondbraid for letting me host this coloring ball since they were the winners of the previous one and a little too busy :)

See you soon on the next Coloring Ball by Cassiebsg!


Cassiebsg

Ooooohhh.... sounds interesting! Hope I'll have a decent idea to participate. (nod)
There are those who believe that life here began out there...

DBoyWheeler

Okay, I've decided to try my hand at this.



Basically a UFO using the rift in space-time to enter this dimension--or whatever the current dimension is.  I made it a transparent GIF so it can be put in the sky (any time of day and any weather), or even in a space-scape.  You know, I wanted to make it versatile.

DBoyWheeler

Yeah, I figured I'd have to do the shape within.  Well, I guess I'll bow out.  I can't think of a good animation to put within the shape itself.

Kumpel

Omg it's an OPEN coloring ball! Anas this alone rips time and space apart! 8-0

How do I handle this infinity? Which server hosts a picture this big???

Seriously, what to do with the gap, Anas?

Update: false alarm! The time-space-continuum is still intact. It's an optical illusion! How sneaky!

I do like the square edges of the shape. You can still achieve this effect within the given shape by using transparent pixels ;) nothing in the rules says anything about it as long as you don't draw outside the shape itself.

The gradient you used looks awesome. Why not practice color cycling or any type of animation? ;-D I bet it'd look great!

Btw, I made sure the shape is fillable with one single click..

Tip: you can create the animation effect on a 171x246 or a larger canvas then overlay the shape and crop as needed (nod)

DBoyWheeler

Okay, let's try this sum-gun again.  Here's a new entry that I hope fits the theme.


CaesarCub

Here's my attempt.

[imgzoom]http://i.imgur.com/zJg9R0f.gif[/imgzoom]

The only problem is that elder gods are no good at following the rules, so there is always some spillage when watching over dimensional cracks

Awwww...look at Cthulhu-wuuluu's itsy-witsy tentacle-wentacles...So adorable!!!

Nice entry CaesarCub, I will consider the first one  ;)

This coloring ball is going to an unintended direction :~(
Mandle, I wish you spent the time creating a real entry.

selmiak

yeah, Mandle didn't even completely fill the shape! >:( ;) :-D

Mandle

Well...I do have an idea for an actual entry...I will sleep on it and make tomorrow probably...

It's pretty messed up though...

Blondbraid

I just couldn't resist the urge to create this:

Behold!!!

uhm? Empty space? Run run away! 8-0
Terribly sorry about that, I appear to have some trouble posting this GIF.

Nope, still not working... :~(
Posting GIFs from imgur have worked before, but this just won't show up for some reason.
I guess I'll just post this link to the image if you want to see:
http://imgur.com/a/AQrzS

Edit: OK, now it's working, I think...


Mandle

Ford, there's an infinite number of pugs outside who want to talk to us about this script for 101 Dalmations they've worked out.

Cassiebsg

OMG!!!! Close it, close it!! Please close that rift before we get invaded by those beasts! (laugh)
There are those who believe that life here began out there...

Danvzare

I thought during my first glance of your picture Blondebraid, that it was a bunch of grotesque demons trying to squeeze out of the rift. Then I took a second look, and realized it was a bunch of pugs. (laugh)

I'm glad to see such great entries!

Matti

I'm working on something too. I hope I'll finish it during the weekend as I'm away for a week from tuesday on. This would be my first coloring ball in a long time.. I should participate more often.

DBoyWheeler

8-0 Oh no!  Blondbraid's crack has opened a pathway into the "Dimension of Cute"!  RUN!

selmiak

[imgzoom]http://i.imgur.com/kFgkPic.gif[/imgzoom]

Did we open something we weren't supposed to open? Did we search too far? Did we dig too deep?
With a big rumbling gut crunching roar the crack in spacetime opened...

NSFW?!

and when I eat too much chili it's this smoothy dirrty crack that's opened :P

Too late! Come one people, show us your cracks!  (laugh)

I have an idea, but doubt I can't pixel it... is it okay to 3D model it?

shouldn't this head pop out of the shape? I mean, the crack is the crack and the head is the head coming through...

what's up next, a view from the other direction showing more body parts colliding and squeezing in?

The origins of Hypnotoad are unknown, but it is speculated
that it is an alien, mutant or a product of genetic engineering.
It was long thought that it was the only one of its kind on earth...
...until this 'coloring-ball-crack in the fabric of space-time' appeared...

Cassiebsg

Uhm... Anas... your shape isn't closed! 8-0 :P

EDIT: Uhm... my entry is almost done, but Corel sucks with GIFs, specially if they have to have a transparent BG... Any tricks or tips? Or can I just get away by putting a neutral grey BG?

EDIT 2: Okay, think I got it... sorry if there's any stray trans pixel in the shape. :-\

I want to jump into cassies crack. For however wrong this may sound! (laugh)
while arjons crack just makes me feel uncomfortable and watched, but I can't loooook aw- all glory to the hypnotoad!

Mandle

WOW!!!! This coloring ball is catching on like crack!!!

Seriously though: SO many great entries...!

I guess the theme does open up so many posibilities as well because one is not constrained to create an image that fits the shape of the "crack", but instead imagine what lies beyond it. Not exactly what coloring ball is all about, but makes for a nice change from the usual.

Well, Corel shows the shape with a gap. My eyes see a gap... and I had to add a black pixel to it to get it closed

Oh... sorry, it is... my eyes deceived me... do I need to remove the extra 3 pixels from my entry? :(

I wanted to make something original and great.
But I ended up with this instead.


Mandle

At my count, that's a dozen official entries so far! I don't think I've ever seen more than ten entries in an AGS forums contest in my time here, which is only about 3 years mind you...

So yeah...amazing round!

Is the winner going to be decided by vote? If not, with this many competitors it might be worth considering?

Just a reminder the submissions due date is still on the 16th, three+ days to go!

Since you're going for the record, I thought I'd throw in an entry. :P

It looks like the crack has opened up into a black and white dimension - a monochrome world of hard-boiled gumshoes and deadly dames.

Sooooo lovely!

It makes me want to see the rest of the picture so badly (and play it)...

To paraphrase the owner of the cafe:

"Of all the cracks, in all the posts, in all the pages on this thread, I want to walk into yours."

AnasAbdin

Great entries so far! Last day call! Tomorrow is the last submission day!
Last chance to show us your crack!

Cassiebsg

Okay, as long as we're going for the record, decided to do one more. (roll)

Mandle

I would personally hate to get a vote for something that took me 40 minutes to cut/paste together (about how long my entry took), over someone who had worked for hours on original art...It would just feel like a pity vote to me...

Every entry though: minor or major, contributes to the success of the event as a whole, so everyone should feel good about their entries...

Yes, it was still funny to make the GIF, and googling for googly-eyed pugs was probably the funniest part of it. (roll)
And I didn't really expect many votes with so many entries either, there are so many different ones to choose from!
