One evening in the early 90s. You're about to close your photo shop when Duane Henderson, a regular customer, comes in.
He looks very excited and hands you a film.
"I was taking pictures near the lake when something sprang out of the water. By the time I removed my eye from the viewfinder, it was gone. Yet I am confident that I captured it on film."
"Let's find out", you answer while heading to the darkroom.

Color the black shape to reveal Duane's catch.
[imgzoom]http://creamy.r.c.f.unblog.fr/files/2018/10/shape.png[/imgzoom]
You may:
- Rotate the shape 90, 180, 270 degrees;
- Flip the shape horizontally or vertically;
- Color the outline;
- Use animation;
- Submit as many items as you wish;
Restictions:
- Do not rescale the shape.
- Only use the Mattel Aquarius (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mattel_Aquarius) color palette:

Cool idea for a theme creamy, but bad choice for a palette. The Mattel Aquarius palette is ugly. So to make good use of it is quite the challenge.
Well, to kick this colorin ball off easy I thought I'd start with the obvious use of the shape. Here we see a rare but hungry blue sea cucumber that spills its innards to the outside to catch its prey with the sticky slimy surface of its own stomach. There is only so much you can do when you don't have teeth!

Can we really call this palette ugly? Probably :=
I wanted to level the playing field for people who can't draw.

If I were to participate this would result in an ugly drawing in ugly colours.
The idea is more important than the execution in this round.
Hmm - not sure what it is myself - maybe a mermaid-ghost? (https://orig00.deviantart.net/479e/f/2015/095/7/5/tabby_giggles_by_tantetabata-d8om9h8.gif)

I'm a bit confused by how the palette is presented - it's 15 colours in total, right?

correct (nod)
Making a colour palette from the given image you get them:

You'll never cease to amaze me Tabata ;-D
Quoteit's 15 colours in total, right?
Yes. That's strange because according to Wikipedia:
QuoteDisplay: 40x24 text, 80x72 graphics, 16 colors
Maybe the system didn't draw black but just left these pixels dark, resulting in black?
QuoteMaybe the system didn't draw black but just left these pixels dark, resulting in black?
In Tabata's palette, you can see 15 colors with black included.
Here is the chart for the Aquarius palette (http://atariage.com/forums/topic/227441-aquarius-information-about-correct-ypbpr-colours-from-the-palette/). They count black twice apparently.

Due to professional constraints, I am forced to move to another town on very short notice (i.e. tomorrow 8-0 ). Because I don't have internet yet in my new flat, I won't be able to run the end of the contest. I've asked Insomnia to take up the torch yesterday.
Oh, good luck with the move and fingers crossed that you soon get internet (it's a life essential after all!)
- "What's that in the sky?" ???
- "Looks like some kind of inter-dimensional portal from a tv show!" :cool:
- "Wait... Is that... a horse head coming through?" 8-0

I've always struggled with this as well. I found one method that sort of works though:
- "Magic wand" all the pink
- Imags > Make alpha channel
- Invert alpha channel if it got inverted
- save as new file.
This is the only method I ever got to work, here's your image:

I still can't make it to work though, it ends up adding a stupid white BG instead. :-\ :-[

Thanks for the reminder, Selmiak. I don't know why I set such a long deadline.
And welcome aboard Flugeldufel. Everyone of us has all we need ;)
Thanks Creamy! I'm currently getting familiar with AGS by making my first game. Until now, I found every answer I needed here in this forum. (nod) But I'm sure I'll have some questions soon ;)
no problem creamy... what about starting the voting now? ;)
I know I'm late for entering, I saw this today and didn't check the date until after I finished painting, so at least I'll show it

> 1rst place vote goes to cat's perfecttly fitting 'spot on' banana
> 2nd place vote deserves the (hopefully without a foot) shoe from Cleanic
> 3rd place vote is for Morganw's clever 'mirage'
Cleanic - you smart cookie - you played with transparency to get more colors :-D
1. Cleanic
2. arj0n
3. selmiak
1) Cleanic
cool imagery, great execution. Also with some trickery to get more colors it seems...
2) cat
just a great filling for that form!
3) Flugeldufel
I like the beatles, so you got me there. If you had crammed the yellow submarine completely into the form I would have voted you higher up)
QuoteAlso with some trickery to get more colors it seems...
That's my guess. However, I don't see how he got the orangy yellow of the shoelace from the aquarius palette.
I guess that is alpha channel blending, with yellow on top of red.
My fish has disappeared as the table is linking it from the Dropbox cache and not the original source, but I'm happy to let the illusion go to the next level.

I liked Cleanic's idea best, but since this was a competition with color limit, no points from me.

1st - arj0n - This was very close to my own idea, wish I had the time to do it.
2nd - Morganw - Playing with the theme, I love it.
3rd - Tabata - This is just so lovable.

Lol I hadn't noticed to be honest, probably has to do with that because it was yellow, and changing the alpha channel was the last thing I did. Between that and the date I'm a double cheater 8-)

Thank you (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xLZ34J01FG8) all for participating. Despite the limited Mattel Aquarius (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=06X5HYynP5E) palette and the prescribed shape, you showed a lot of creativity.
So who starts the next CB? arj0n or Cleaninc?
Well as I already said I kinda double cheated, so Arj0n should keep both the trophy and the shape-designing honor (then I'll be able to participate again, hopefully on time and following all the premises :-[ :P)
Congrats!
but arjon mostly uses the CGA palette, this is even worse than mattell aquarius 8-0 :P :-D
Wow, that was kinda unexpected. Congrats to you too, Cleanic.
And awesome that 8 entries came up, despite the color limit restriction :)
btw, I understood Cleanic's shoelace-color-issue was by mistake.
And as for posting an entry after the deadline, well a deadline can get extended ;)
(plus host Creamy said: "Since the vote hasn't started yet, I let you in.")
Therefor please do grab at least also a copy of the goldfish trophy.
