Title: Colouring Ball: SPYING - Winner Announced !
Post by: AprilSkies on Thu 15/05/2014 18:46:52
Hi guys I finally decided, so it's time for a new Colouring Ball Competition!
The theme I have chosen is: SPYING

Here's the shape:

(http://oldgames.arena80.it/arenauta11/AGS_Comp/ballShape_SPY.png)

Spying means to observe without being seen, and often you are forced to do it in uncomfortable positions ... and it can happens that these uncomfortable positions force you to discover points of view that you never experienced before. A Spying cliché is the keyhole, which is the shape of this Colouring Ball Competition.
Will you be able to convey the essence of a situation, the essence of an ambient or of an event drawing and painting only what you can see from a keyhole?

Rules:

You may:
Resize the keyhole
Make adjustments to the shape or even change the shape of the keyhole. IMPORTANT: it must be a keyhole anyway!
Include a texture for the door around the keyhole

There are no colour limitations.

Competition runs from May 15th to June 1st.
(If someone wants the deadline be extended, feel free to ask).
Have fun!

No rule saying that a theme can't repeat- it's pretty much your decision :)

Ok thanks Ghost (and Armageddon pointing it out).

So le's go on (it's fair because someone could started drawing). It could be funny anyway.

And Adeel was the only entry in that one, anyway. I shudder to think what he'll come up with for this one!  ;)

That's fine, I've been lucky the old one had only one entry :D
I think it could be a great challange :D

Uhmm... I think there is a remote possibility that I drew outside the shape, just a little, so feel free to disqualify me if you must. Nevertheless, it was fun to do.

Hope all can find it in their hearts to forgive me. Particularly Adeel and Wolfie.

Great entry from Arj0n !
And that's what I Always meant for spying from a keyhole!

ps. I actually came looking for a SpriteJam, but it turns out the last one was like two years ago. So instead I entered my first ever Colouring Ball.
pps. For those who remember me: Yes, I still exist...Hay guys! :)

No need to apologize, jwalt. I laughed so much looking at it. I also loved the concept you put in there. Pakistani guy managing an Indian restaurant and making British 'sausages': coolest entry ever. (laugh)

Unfortunately, given my current state of well being, I won't be able to participate. Had I participated, I would have drawn something similar to that of Arj0n's.

Great Entries Everyone! :)

Wait, you think more people are going to vote for some creepy weird guy who is possibly a stalker, than for a good looking woman. What has the world come to in my absence?

As are mine. Who's going to think that my idea is original now?

And I had such an awesome pun, too. Because that's a Kee-Hole, see? Where there's a lock, there is a Kee.

CURSES*!!! :P

I think there's only so many ideas you can come up with when you're given a keyhole. I am surprised no-one yet made an entry with the key still in the lock!

1st: CassieBsg
I just love the idea of looking through an ordinary keyhole and seeing a galaxy out there. It's almost as if Douglas Adams sprited that.

2nd: Misj'
Lovely lovely art and great amount of detail, plus a wicked idea.

3rd: Arjon
Just classic. And nicely retro. Basically the Larry Laffer entry of the whole bunch.

The result was the same for both methods:
