Coloring Ball: Totem Pole? (July 5 - July 19) - WINNERS ANNOUNCED

[Buckethead]

wow I didn't expect this with Spaceboy's entry. I guess it was more about the idea this time.

[TheMagician]

Well, just to throw in yet another opinion
For me, Ghost's entry is clearly the winner. It is a very creative interpretation of the given shape and also nicely and cleanly drawn.

[Matti]

Yeah, as I said I had problems with choosing the winners. Next to the three winners Ghost and Spaceboy were my favorites and I admit they'd deserve a trophy too.

Maybe we need an evaluation matrix next time?
Something like:

technique / style (3 pts)
creative approach (5 pts)
use of colors (3 pts)
picture composition (4 pts)

This is still somehow subjective but it would make it easier to understand the results.

For example there was a coloring ball, covering the silouette of a girl. Someone made alien-fingers out of it and I thought: "This is hilarious and the clear winner" - but well,  it didn't made it. The focus was on technique, rather than creativity.

If we would use some kind of raster, people would know, what to focus on.
What does everyone else think?

Too complicated. Let's just agree that the colouring ball is mainly about creativity and technique is secondary.

Yeah, if it would have been a sprite jam then you would've won! Coloring ball is perfect for being creative cause a simple outline gives much freedom to the competitors...

By the way, spaceboy, with such great pixelart why haven't you ever made any adventure? Are you at least planning one?
