Coloring Ball (Until Jan. 2): It comes while you sleep

[SpacePirateCaine]

Late at night, while everyone is asleep...
A shadow passes through the night...



Who, or what the hell is that?

Color it in, and show me.

Rules:
Color inside the lines, boys and girls
Use as many colors as you need.
Feel free to add a background, if you want.
Enjoy.

Did you maybe see something like this?

Don't let the christmas hat fool you! That ain't no santa!

[Fyntax]

'Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse.
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,
In hopes that Saint Nicholas soon would be there.
The children were nestled all snug in their beds,
While visions of sugar-plums danced in their heads;
And mamma in her 'kerchief, and I in my cap,
Had just settled down for a long winter's nap;

When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter,
I sprang from the bed to see what was the matter.
Away to the window I flew like a flash,
Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash.

The moon on the breast of the new-fallen snow
Gave the lustre of mid-day to objects below,
When, what to my wondering eyes should appear,
But a robot unkown standing anear,
Left at this place for thousands of years,
It has come back to hunt all of it's peers.

As loud as a jetplane the gears in it whined,
the tortured screams in it confined,
it's eyes reflected my self like a lens,
the seconds left of my life was nearing its tens.

For thousands of years the robot had served.
The program once given to be observed, 
dead all the mothers and fathers inside the house,
dead all the children who slept near the spouse.

Now before leaving it's job well and done,
the robot began it's final one,
It started filling the stockings with candy and toys,
ate all the porrage left by the boys.

And then it left, making a hole in the wall,
moving towards the next house to brawl,
from it's voice box a distorted recording made light,

“Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good-night!”

Keeping it simple.

Well, everyone, another coloring ball draws to a close. Thank you to everyone who participated, and I'd like to also extend my wishes for a happy new year to anyone who reads this.

I'd say the turnout for this one was modest, but I'm pretty happy with the way the entries came out. For anyone interested, this silhouette was borrowed from one of my good friends' christmas art, which I will link for you now, here. And to crown a winner for the last Coloring Ball of 2007, I'm going to have to go with our very own ArboriS, for his creativity with the silhouette given - I wouldn't have come up with something like that no matter how hard I tried. And big props to Fyntax as well, for the new take on an old poem. Very groovy stuff.

Thank you everyone, and I'm looking forward to the next coloring ball!

Congratulations, Arboris

Nice, thanks.
I'll start a new one as soon as I think up a good subject for it.
And ofcourse, I hope to see you all there.
