Adeel:
I participated in an early one, then hosted one. And I'm a realist, and I just would love to go to space one day. Btw, the frame is modeled after photos from the ISS.

Stupot · Fri 27/09/2013 08:22:18

You have a wonderful way with words Adeel. Keep them coming

selmiak · Fri 27/09/2013 20:08:27

well, I filled the emptyness of the scene with the animation and not with additional objects.
And also kept the low colorcount...
yeah, it's quite busy on the windowframe of my backwindow and yes, indeed, I have a lot of these miniature puppets to simulate the outside world and distract me from the depressing actual view! Atm I'm playing they are all standing in line for the gentleman's club next door...

My first entry, I can't draw. But I wanted to de-stress myself after work. Therefore here it is

I was going to draw more, but then I got bored.

Adeel · Tue 01/10/2013 06:30:39

Three New Entries and One Refined (Animated, to be precise) entry! That's the spirit, guys!

@Hedge:

I'm glad that you participated to relieve your stress. Welcome to the Colouring Ball. Winning or Losing doesn't matter. Having fun is important (which you apparently had)

. Following are my thoughts on your entry:

Remember the Little Red Riding Hood? Even the times have changed, ways of killing and destruction have been changed yet the story is same. The same old enmity which will never fade away. Here's the same old Little Red Riding Hood and the same old Wolf.

But be warned, for this time, The Oldschool_Wolf is carrying a shotgun. And what I am doing? I'm just sitting here, enjoying my coffee (or tea) while watching their wild goose chase.

@gameboy:

Welcome gameboy

. The transparency does a nice effect here

. Following are my thoughts on your entry:

Nothing is better than a breakfast near your apartment window. Not only you relieve your hunger but you also get to enjoy the beauty of the morning. Children going to school, adults going to their work. It gives unexplainable yet immense pleasure. And this pleasure is doubled, when you get to some beautiful/cute girls/ladies.

@Limony:

Welcome to the Colouring Ball, Limony

. I were sorry to hear that you got bored

. You still have 4 days (if you count today too). You can still revise it if you like.

Here are my thoughts on your entry:

This one brings two interpretations to my mind:

1. You know you are doomed when you see a hot, red liquid coming out which is going to melt/destroy its way out. It eats everything on its way yet it remains awfully hungry.

2. Human has killed his own race of his personal gains. With each passing day, human blood is being shed so much that one day. It'll start raining of blood instead of water. That day isn't far where the stream of blood will be flowing (In future, there's definitely going to be a war on Water unless some way is found to produce water at much cheaper cost).

@selmiak:

I had already my say on your entry. However, I've only two lines to add:

The view was much serious when it was not animated. But now that it's animated and many men are included. It has become funnier. I perosnally love the way they smoke and shred the ash. Keep it up, selmiak!

And now, time for some gossip:

That's good to know. Personally, I'd like to go to space too. Watching my fellow beings while enjoying the solitude - like a ~~god~~ boss. I'll only stay there for one month maximum, though. What about you?

Quote from: Stupot+ on Fri 27/09/2013 08:22:18
You have a wonderful way with words Adeel. Keep them coming

Thanks. You wished for my words, I wished for more entries! Both fulfilled.

You know selmiak, that is just an excuse to avoid the rules. Please follow the rules like everyone did otherwise I'll have to disqualify you for the sake of fair play.

@Hedge:
Your entry is good but it isn't within the rules. Your entry should resemble the shape. To be precise, your entry should be drawn inside the shape. There are still 4 days so I'm sure that you'll manage it

.

@TGames:
Please make sure that your entry is following the rules. You still haven't showed the frame. If you're confused about the rules, you can feel free to ask about them.

Cheers guys,
Until we ~~meet~~ post again!

Adeel · Thu 03/10/2013 12:51:54

Sorry to stress you guys but there's not much time left. So, please make sure that you all have revised your entries (if you want to) within the deadline.

Those who were instructed to change their entries a little (to fit the rules) and neither changed nor replied. Please do so, otherwise I'll have no option but to disqualify them (even unwillingly so, because after all, I can't do any injustice with other participants who faithfully followed the rules).

selmiak · Fri 04/10/2013 19:21:10

Thanks for hiding the threat of disqualification within the chatter and not the actual feedback, I almost missed it

So here is the whole scene pushed outside of the window:

[imgzoom]http://selmiak.bplaced.net/stuff/windowf.gif[/imgzoom]

and as this is boring now I made a more interesting alternative version

[imgzoom]http://selmiak.bplaced.net/stuff/windowcolorball.gif[/imgzoom]

this can easily be exploited and made into a tile of something bigger...

fasten your seatbelts...!!!

quickly made website with this (F11 for fullscreen viewing pleasure!!!)

Adeel · Fri 04/10/2013 19:57:35

Viewing this on mobile. Aaaarrrggh! Made my head ache! So, what should I consider your final entry?

selmiak · Fri 04/10/2013 20:07:19

the first one in my previous post probably. The others are just for fun/confusion!

dactylopus · Fri 04/10/2013 20:09:12

That's fantastic! Thanks for posting this playful version!

selmiak · Fri 04/10/2013 20:37:10

thx, how could I not post this

@Adeel: Well, if you accept the second image in my post above (still within the borders of the form) I submit this of course, but if this would disqualify me because there is stuff happening on the inside of the window and also all over the place then the first image is my entry...

Adeel · Sat 05/10/2013 00:46:56

It looks much better and enjoyable on Computer Screen. Well done selmiak!

Hedge and TGames haven't responded so far. For the very last time (and not wanting to disqualify their entries), I'm extending the deadline to October 05, 2013, 23:59 GMT. Please make sure that your entries fit according to the rules.

If anyone else wants to enter and wishes that the deadline be extended. Please feel free to ask here.

Meanwhile, I ask the opinion of participants:

If in the likely case that TGames and Hedge don't change their entries to fit within the rules. Should I disqualify them or should I allow them? Your vote, your choice. Please try to respond quickly.

Khris · Sat 05/10/2013 02:03:04

The rules were verbose but clear. If you enter a contest but can't be bothered to read its rules, don't complain if you get disqualified. There were lots of entries that followed the rules, so it's fine to ditch them from a practical viewpoint, too.

@ Adeel
You explained the given rules more than once and you already told the consequences for entries that don't follow them.
Both participants have been online after you told them that their entries need to be changed a bit to become acceptable for this comp.

It was their decision to ignore and not react so far ~ not the gentle kind of answer, but an answer.

Adeel · Sat 05/10/2013 19:12:24

Thanks for the input, Khris and Tabata

. Now I've made a clear decision

.

Participants, there's not much time left. So, if you were instructed to revise your entries or weren't instructed but want to revise their entries themselves. Please do it. You'll not be allowed to change your entries once the deadline is passed/expired.

Also, if I found any of the participants' entry edited after the expiration of deadline. They'll be immediately disqualified! I'm sorry for such rules but these rules made the theme more enjoyable.

I've finally drawn my trophies for the winners. I'll upload them once the voting starts.

Until then.

TGames · Sat 05/10/2013 20:54:21

Just letting you know, I quit this a while ago. Sorry for not saying anything.

Adeel · Sun 06/10/2013 00:35:43

Okay participants, time's up. I hope that you all had fun

.

This was tough. So many good entries.

1. Preference - Tabata
- Absolutely beautiful work, especially with the colors coming off of the candle. Overall, just gorgeous.
2. Message - Khris
- The world as I'd like to see it as well. This is a great piece on its own, but I love the message here.

I'd also like to give a personal honorable mention to Stupot+, gameboy, and selmiak. You guys did a wonderful job, and made voting require some thought.

Having said that, I think everyone did really well. I'm happy to see such good work here.
