The New Coloring ball Comp!
Window
(http://www.polard.com/pixelart/2010-06-04-coloring-ball-competition.gif)
Fill these panes. You can decide whether we are outside looking in or inside looking out. Do all the panes even look out or in to the same reality? You may decide it is not a window at all but something completely different... Be creative, anything goes!
Rules:
- No color restrictions
- Stay inside the lines, the black outlines must stay intact. Inside the white areas, go wild!
- Pixel art is a must!
- Have fun, any and every entry is welcome!
Mr can I have my ball back??

This was a nice little break for me to try out some more interesting palettes. I have also never really done any natural environments before, but I like the result quite a lot.
Darius & Stochie, I likey a lot! Two very different approaches. Awesome people! Keep 'em comin!

Nice! Judging this is going to be freakin hard.
These are all really great entries! Yours is especially beautiful Ilyich=)
Are we allowed to submit multiple entries? I have quite a few ideas i'm working on.. first attempt at pixel art tho so they're equally as bad as each other=S
What's with all this nature? Pfft!

Looking good Indieboy=)

Finders keepers - Jim's entry gave me the idea ;)

If only one counts I/we can pick one. They could be vastly improved but I don't have any more time right now.
This was really fun=)
Sunflowers, nice... cats, pretty go- HOLY SHIT MARIO KART. You sir, win as many internets as I have, which at the moment, is slightly less than none.
lol, thanks=) I spent the most time on that one, so if I had to pick one, that'd be it. Based it on actual in-game footage too=)
I'm glad i'm not judging this, as the standard is so high!
Great job everyone! :)
(http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2159609/guybrush_warhol.png)
Just had this idea and couldn't resist. :)
Great entries everyone, especially liked IndieBoy's city and Jim Reed's windows(Sonic!)
Ha, wonderful=)
Yup, great entries everyone. I especially like your tree of seasons one Ilyich, followed closely by Darius' day/night scene.
Wow, awesome awesome participation!
The contest is now closed unfortunately, so any entries yet undone will not be considered for voting.
Since there are SO many excellent entries, I want to throw it out there for your consideration: I want to keep the judging fair, and not just limited to my personal taste. So how about this one time we make this a voting session, like for example the sprite jam comp? I.e. you all can vote for 1st, 2nd and 3rd. The coloring ball is not usually handled this way, the contest host (me) just picks a winner, end of story).
I don't mind doing it on my own, but I feel that to be fair to the wide variety and number of entrants, this would truly be a better way to handle it...
Your thoughts? Any MOD who wants to beat me over the head is also welcome to do that, of course. :-\
I'm perfectly happy to let you decide the winner, but if you want everyone to vote for 1/2/3rd, i'll happily go along with that too=) Lol, sorry, not much help!
Incase we do go with votes, mine would be:
1st - Ilyich (Seasons one - absolutely beautiful)
2nd - Darius (the two opposites work really well - i'm equal parts happy and scared)
3rd - Jim (brilliant idea and Sonic brings back many fond memories)
Honorable mention - Sinsin (hilarious)
1st - Sinsin
2nd - straydogstrut
3rd - Darius Poyer
1st - IndieBoy - I just love cities at night
2nd - Jim Reed - great idea, great realization
3rd - Darius Poyer - beautifully done pixel-art
Honorable mention - straydogstrut - 5 cool entries - that's gotta worth something :)
Cool, so voting seems to be acceptable for everyone. Go to it, peeps, those who haven't voted yet. I'll give it a day of two...
1st; Ilyich, for the Guybrush portrait
2nd; Jim Reed
3rd; Straydogstrut, for his sunflowers
1: Ilyich
2: Darius Poyer
3: Jim Reed
1. Ilyich - really lovely.
2. Darius - great pixels!
3. Jimathan Reed - love the sonic!
All entries were really good though, on another day any one could have won.
Awesome voting! Anyone else want to chip in before we end this?
1) straydogstrut's Mario Kart 64
2) Ilyich's seasons
3) IndieBoy's city
Great work, everyone!

Yay! Nice trophies! Thanks for the great theme and well done everyone! Will start a new one soon. :)
Great entries everyone, and a well-deserved win Ilyich. Oh and interesting new theme=)
