Topic: Coloring Ball: „Splish Splash“ - WINNER ANNOUNCED!

[Tabata]

Will we celebrate a pool party or meet some seamonsters?

It's hot over here and so it would be really nice to take a refreshing bath and maybe have some fun.
       
             
But wait!  - What's that?
There's something strange in the pool!
What is it?
Something harmless drifting along or someone else who already jumped in?
                                                                         
Since my glasses are way back in the cabin I just can see a shape and need you to show us what it is:

                                     

(click the shape for transparent version)

You are allowed to rotate and/or flip the shape.
No restrictions about the colours and even coloring the outline is okay (just do not cross it).

                                                                                 

If you want to give a little explanation or tell us a kind of backgroundstory – feel free do do so.
I'd like to read it but it's not required – just as you like.
                  

Please post your entries until the 14th of August (forum-time).
Now jump in and show us what's in the pool 

Have fun splishing and splashing!   

Oh - and not to forget ...
... the winners can get a lifebuoy (might become handy here) 

                              

       Want to know what is going on at the „splish splash poolparty“?                                 

Spoiler: ShowHide

 

      Sorry folks! If you didn't jump in the pool early enough - now you are too late for joining the pool party. It's closed society from now on!

Mmmmmmmelllltinnnnngggg....

What do you mean, the monster drawing colorball was the last competition? Just look at this adorable pet waiting for you in the pool. He's so happy to see you and surely just wants to play! And maybe invite you for a snack

[jwalt]

In one word: Piranha.

In two words: Rump Roast.

[AprilSkies]

Count me in for that! It could be funny...
But I'm going to draw when I'll come back from my holidays... and it will be before the 14th

[Tabata]

WOW!   – first party guests are already in!  YAY!
   
                             

Selmiak, you did a really strong lightning start here
... but jwalt gets a warning due to water pollution (even if it is a clever idea)! 

Great to see that I won't stay alone at the pool party

... also looking forward to your entry, AprilSkies
Have a nice holiday trip (and beware of swimming pools)

Hey Ghost - you are also invited to the party, jump right in before you melt

[Ghost]

Hey Ghost - you are also invited to the party, jump right in before you melt

I shall bring my BACKGROUND SPLISH-SPLASHERS too...

[Tabata]

No prob – as long as they all fit into the shape – and no hiding behind the bath foam, please 
But let me tell you, Mister Ghost: “The duck stays outside!“   

[Billbis]

Hey, it looks like Bernard forgot its glasses again.
If he jumps on that cactus, I could... I could...

TAKE ON THE WORLD!


I will be on hollidays at the end of the month, not sure if I will be able to vote...

[Ghost]

But let me tell you, Mister Ghost: “The duck stays outside!“   

MyLADY Tabatha! I ALWAYS bathe with my ducky!

[siliconangel]

Would you want one of these in your pool? I would hate to get bit by one....

[Tabata]

YAY – another new guests arrived 
I am soo excited I had to open the pool for them already.

For those of you who want to take a peek about what is going on – I'll 'hide' it soon in the first post
(Hopefully the participants don't mind me to cancel transparency or add it for the background where needed – but otherwise  the submissions
in question wouldn't be recognizable or cover the water. Just in case you don't agree – please send me a note via pm and I'll delete it from the pool)

                                             

MyLADY Tabatha! I ALWAYS bathe with my ducky!

Let's wait and we will see, what will happen ...

[Billbis]

There is some dangerous folks in that pools!
Great job, Tabata.

[Cassiebsg]

That pool looks so great, that my guy decided he wanted to join the party... but looking at all those guests, he decided he wasn't going in defenseless!

[Tabata]

Thank you Billbis – glad you like it

Cool entry Cassiebsg – I hope the guy found some fuel for the chainsaw (his facial expression seems to say no)

[AprilSkies]

Well, I'm back from my (short) holidays
Just returned home (right now) and I'm too tired to work on my game... so I put some colors in Tabby's shape.

Well, this is the title:


And this is what is swimming in the pool:


Just CLICK HERE if you want to know who is driving it!

[Billbis]

Great submarine, AprilSkies! Plenty of nice litte details.

[Tabata]

AprilSkies: 
Ähem – I think, I need to expand the pool a bit now   … but somehow I'll get it into that pool – I am sure

It's refreshing

Everyone is allowed to vote for his/her favorite entry - no need to be a participant!
Please choose your ,    and    placed submission and if you like, tell us why you have chosen it.

… and yes – I am soo glad that I don't need to make that decision. 
You guys are simply too good and can do pixel magix even with the strangest shapes.
I'm going to sit back, relax and watch the final sprint 



Now it's your turn:

   

[Billbis]

Here's my choice. That wasn't easy because they all have nice aspects.
1- Nautilus, by AprilSkies. Even if the perspective of the lower part look a bit odd, I can't resist in front of all those tiny adorable rivets. And also, that shadowing!
2- The adorable pet, by selmiak. Because it does indeed look gentle!
3- The Cassiebsg's armed guy. Because he've got plenty of cool shark teeth, and also arm-buoy.

[Cassiebsg]

1 - AprilSkies (Who would have guessed that a pool could hide such a big and awesome sub?)
2 - Billbis (cause tentacles are cool!)
I'm split on 3rd place though... I just can't decide, so I'll split my vote in 2!
3 - jawlt (a piranha? realy? I would have never guessed it!) and selmiak (cause Elvis is alive! )

[AprilSkies]

My votes to:

1) Billbis: just "super-Cool"! I love to see that purple tentacle with a cactus in his hand! And perfect fit in the shape! It's the best fitting!
2) Selmiak: the quickest coloring ball I ever saw! And he was brilliant in fitting the shape with a crocodile. The only thing that don't fits so much is the lower part of the jaw.
3) Cassiebsg: a cool idea and a almost perfect fitting. "Almost" because of the red square under the hand keeping the saw.

[Cassiebsg]

"Almost" because of the red square under the hand keeping the saw.

Yeah, I know, I wasn't sure what to do with it, so decided that he had a red cape on... but the art sucked there to show what it was suppose to be.

[Gurok]

1. jwalt
2. siliconangel
3. Billbis

[selmiak]

1) bilbis
2) April Skies
3) Cassiebsg

[siliconangel]

1) Aprilskies
2) Cassiebsg
3) Selmiak

also just wanted to say the pool was neat.

[Tabata]

Proudly presenting the declared winners of the “splish splash“ coloring ball with a big applause  

3rd place goes to selmiak for his adorable pet, a lightning fast opening contribution

2nd  place is taken by Billbis for doing the fabulous purple tentacle to take over the pool with a cactus


.... aaaaand ....


1st place is made by AprilSkies for the incredible Nautilus that (luckily for us) didn't hide 2.000 leagues under the pool

Thank you all for participating – you never fail to surprise with your creative ideas! 

Because of that and since I am really amazed about all of the cool entries:
Nobody of the brave participants should be left alone without a life-belt in that risky pool
I'd like to offer an award for all the other entries, too!
Here's your little “splish splash“ souvenir 

Hope to C U all again during the next color ball, which will be hosted by AprilSkies – take it over!

[AprilSkies]

Thank you so much everybody!

Wonderful competition!
Thank you for hosting it Tabata! Very well done!
And it's Always a pleasure to see your GIFs !

[Billbis]

Congratulation AprilSkies !

Many thanks Tabata for this great Coloring the ball !

[Cassiebsg]

Congrats to all!
And many thanks for the votes. My very first souvenir!
And my "guy" is loving it! He hated that halve-wit barrel I gave him for the pool, he kept complaining that it wasn't stable enough even if it gave him extra protection...

[Tabata]

  Thank you all for the compliments!
I am really glad you liked it and that you filled the competition with life!
It wouldn't work without you cool participants 

[siliconangel]

Congrats to all of the winners! thanks for the fun competition.
and again the pool was neat.
