Colouring Ball: June 4 - June18 (Window) [CONTEST COMPLETE]

[straydogstrut]

Ha, wonderful=)

Yup, great entries everyone. I especially like your tree of seasons one Ilyich, followed closely by Darius' day/night scene.

[Xellie]

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. 

[straydogstrut]

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)

[Jim Reed]

1st - Sinsin
2nd - straydogstrut
3rd - Darius Poyer

[Ilyich]

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

[Xellie]

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...

No one else? Ok, just organizing the award ceremony... So here they are, decided by popular vote; along with Gold, Silver and Bronze trophies. Also included is special plastic-o-matic patented baby blue honorable mention trophies for two of our contestants:

First place: Ilych
You've gotta love that Guybrush vibe! And the tree / seasons design is awesome.

Second place: Darius Poyer
Day... night... good... better... excellent! You packed so much detail into such a little space.

Third place: Jim Reed
Worlds within worlds, windows within windows. It's almost Escher!

Honourouble Mention #1: Sinsin
My personal favourite, you not only broke the window but also the third wall. I really love yours.

Honourouble Mention #2: Straidogstrut
If nothing else (although the quality is excellent) your many efforts merit honourable mention. Well done!

So that is THAT! Thank you all for wonderful participation. Ilyich, take it away!

[Ilyich]

Yay! Nice trophies! Thanks for the great theme and well done everyone! Will start a new one soon.

[straydogstrut]

Great entries everyone, and a well-deserved win Ilyich. Oh and interesting new theme=)

Wow! Thanks Xellie, you didn't have to do that. I'll wear my biodegradable-resistant trophy with pride=)
