Colouring Ball: "TWAKATETHAP" (July 26th - August 3rd)

[Ghost]

The proud University of Ghostistan has recently made (another) great discovery.
Scientists unearthed the Thing With A Knob At The End That Has A Purpose
(TWAKATETHAP, Patent Nr. 5C4R73T). And it still seems to work!
Baffled by the astonishing complexity of the device, the University quickly send
sketches all around the world.

Er... that is, they *will* be sent as soon as you (yes, YOU) drew the thing.



The Rules:
* Draw the Thing With A Knob At The End That Has A Purpose.
* You may rotate, flip and even draw (a bit) over the outline, as long as it is recognizeable.
* If you want, tell us what the machine actually does.
* No colour limit, and no style restrictions.

Have fun!

Trophies are available too:

Gold:   Silver:   Bronze:

Maybe I need some eye glasses, but where is the actual outline Ghost?

[Gilbert]

It worked yesterday. Probably server "521" of imageshack is down at the moment.

[Ghost]

ImageShack is back, and also the outline I'll see if I can find a more... reliable host anyway.

One day to go. If anyone *is* working on something, this could be the once-in-a-lifetime chance to win gold, silver and bronze all in one go. Yes, I'm looking at all the people who never entered because they feared to be totally out-pixelled.

I am looking at you in serious *desperation*.

OK, last minute entry here!



Questionable at best really.

As to what it is, well it's an ... it's a ...

Thing With A Knob At The End That Has A Purpose?

[Babar]

As per your request, here I am, drawing the thing with a knob at the end that has a purpose:


If you ask me, I think it is a door handle....

[IndieBoy]

3 entries!! YAY!!! Made in 2mins 

God's door knob. You got to love last minute entries. And my worst sprite ever!

[Ghost]

I totally love last minute entries. Good stuff, lads, you're basically saving my hide here. A few hours are still left, though. Let's see how this one turns out.

[Geratuza]

It's a zombie-negro-head. Fits to all models of Patent No. 5C4R74A-D (zombie-bodies). The knob serves as a flexible joint inside the bodies thorax.

Aaaand we're wrapping up! Thanks for all the nice entries; allow me to resurrect the
"Rad" trophy so that no-one leaves this thread empty-handed. All entries have something special, so here's the breakdown.

First Place: Indie Boy
Totally fits the theme and, while simple, also has some nice detail. And what could be a more purposeful knob at the end than GOD'S own doorknob? Take it, indie, it's golden and shiny.

Second Place: Babar
Almost a meta-joke. Drawing the thing and the thing itself. Well, you obviously recognised my outline... But heck, the joke's worth silver. All yours.

Third Place: Geratuza
Good use of the outline and unsettingly... unsettling. Third place by a close shave.

Runner-Up: Intense Degree
A generic but detailled design, and clearly with a knob at the end. The least "recogniseable" (is that really a word) of the entries, but a nice one.
Take the Rad trophy- not a cheap "fourth" place, but a token of respect for generic knobblyness (okay, that *can't* be a word).

Thanks, gentlemen, and Indie, you're on.

[Babar]

Congratulations, Indie! I KNEW it was a door knob!

[IndieBoy]

Hahaha I'll just quote I just wrote in tokbox:
"Best 5mins I've ever spent drawing crap"

I mean I could of made such a better job at it. Anywya thanks Ghost and well done for everyone else. It's like a game show, "No one leaves a colouring ball empty handed!".

I'll get the next one up pretty soon.  

[Intense Degree]

The Rad trophy?

Cool!
