Coloring Ball (Until Mar. 10): "spiritual" staff

Svartberg · Sun 02/03/2008 01:00:02

During one of my travels to Africa, I came across a peculiar tribe of natives. The tribe's elder had a decorated staff, which he claimed had "big spirit magic" in it - and whenever he shook it, the entire tribe all fell silent in fear.
It was long ago, but I do remember it had this shape :

The Rules:
*Curve your own spiritual staff, and decorate it with whatever you see fit.
*No colour limit
*You can flip and rotate the outline
*You can resize the image but not the outline
*The outline can be modified slightly, but must be recognisable
*You can place objects on top of the outline but the outline must remain recognisable
*Feel free to include a background
*Have fun!

Shiny trophy idols have been fetched for the event.

The tribes was afraid because they could no longer lie. This draft version of a famous puppet was found by a powerful shaman who added some feather and bull's ball for the show.

I don't know if the pinnocho in the outline was too obvious, but I had to get it out of my head.

N.B.: I shouldn't have saved it in jpeg, it added "blur", but too late.

they found a box, it says: "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly"... but they didn't understand...

The tribe's creations relied heavily on mother nature: The head of a dead parrot, a snake, some feathers, a crocodile's skin, a branch, and some stones made the perfect "spiritual" staff

15 Colors.

Thanks everyone for your entries, Time to announce the winners !

thebaddie
Top entry without a doubt, great execution and the colors make it really pleasant to look at.
I have to admit I really didn't see that one coming, and was a real pleasure to see this one, well done !

Ilmion
Loved the idea and concept, and the colors are well chosen.
A shame the clean lines got wiped due to the .jpeg compression, I recommend to always keep an original, so you could repost in case of bad compression

Mr. Suit
Bizarre entry, very disturbing and made me think of happy times under the influence of "medicinal herbs"

Buckethead and Domino
You can use the silhouette as an honorary mark for attending, thank you

thebaddie - your turn to start the next competition, g'luck
