I  do it at work to take a peek, what “the family” is doing.
It works really well, but typing is pure horror for me. (roll)

You can get something from Geordy
and you should go to the road (and further on).

There's also the original thread that might help a bit.

and this trophy



 



And as promised here is the graduation photo!
Watch our cool 'trick or treat'-team in action
(laugh)



Not to forget the little award for all participants ~ take it as a kind of membership sign ;)  ~ Here you are

Thank you all for joining!
Hope to see you all in the next ColoringBall, hosted by Ponch


                                                                        


For those of you who'd like to know the way I judged
Spoiler
How the entries got their place in the row and how to get a trophy:

candies are changed into points > gold = 3, silver =2,  bronce = 1 point
having the same number of points > the one who made the points with less candies will get the place (because more voters ranked it higher)
everything the same >  it will go on in order of release (so if it was offered earlier this is the reward)
getting the trophies > best ranked entry from every participant counts (everyone had the choice to decide which of their entries should be taken into account for the voting)

Even if it is only a small contest for pleasure ~ I hope the judging will be perceived as fair. :kiss:

Love to see the entries catching their candies

Hopefully some more will be handed out (right now the row changes with every voter)!
I know, it is not that easy for you all, because there are soo much really good entries.
But it will be even harder for me doing a proper graduation photo with those entries allways changing place (laugh)

          Lets go ~ don't be shy!

                   

Those great entries deserve moooore candies!

Grab and spread some of them: 
                                



@ Adeel
Wich entry from Arj0n did you choose? He offered “Ar LeQuin” and “Yoda” to the team.
Since every candy counts I'd prefer to place it in the correct basket.  :wink:
#886
Suuuper! ~ I am very happy to see  two more cool entries! 

Hope, you all are ready now for the next step? Let's do it:

             VOTING!!!                          VOTING!!!                          VOTING!!!             

Who will become the leader of our supercool 'trick or treat'-team?
Everyone is invited to vote!
… and of course this time you will be allowed to authentically distribute candies to your favorites  (laugh)

                                                                                                         

All voters have three candies to give away:

  a golden,

a silver and

  a bronze candy

are yours to offer it to the entries.


All participants did a really a good job! As always I am impressed about the cool ideas and how creative it was „squeezed“  in the given shape.  (nod)
It is not required, but you might want to take the chance to tell us about why you choose especially this one.  :wink:



So now it's your turn to spread the candies among these  ...

Reminder!    ...    Last chance to take part     ...      
                                                

Time's running â€" unless someone wants an extension, we soon will spread some candies to choose the leader of the pack  :cool:

   Halloweeeeeeeeeeeeen - bump!   
#892
He, he, he â€" that Yoda seems to be perfect for me
(I am allways eager for the sweets but a bit anxious  - ähem - shy.)
That's why I am rarely walking solely along the dark streets on earth usually.
                 

So how about some more company? :wink:



@ Adeel
Thanks a lot. Your kind words are much appreciated. I am always
excited from the creativity of the entries.
People here have a great and entertainig imagination! (nod)

...  We already got even more great entries!!   

You guys make me happy!  :kiss:


Time has come to show you the trophies to be earned.  :wink:

Well, if you will follow me, please ...

         

        Hope you like them!

You know, what to do for to get one (laugh)
#895
â€" what a cool appearence!

This happens to become a spectacular parade!  :cheesy:


Time for to tell you about a little extra that I am planning:
The parade will take place after we found out about the leader of the 'Trick or Treat'-Team
with all the costumes that you'll post here (including the non compending entries).  (nod)
So you will be given a graduation photo from the 'Trick or Treat'-Team Parade on Halloween 2013
for your photo album in the end
:kiss:


Better start thinking about what to wear
there's still a real lot of time, so no need to hurry,
but it shouldn't last forever

If you don't join, you can't be part of the team :grin:



* a little tip
Beware of the background from the graduation photo being different from the thread!
So be careful with transparence and only use it, when really wanted. Otherwise - depending on the background -
it might give your costume a „strange“ look that you didn't go for (like being in stealth mode).
If you want your entry to be nicely presented on the graduation photo - be sure your costume has the colour of your choice.
:wink:
#896
YAY â€" we have our first  team members!

Ha, ha, ha â€" those are pretty cool starters, jwalt â€" and really fast, too. (nod)

And yes, you are welcome to do several entries and all can go for the sweets. It will be your decision, wheter all or which of them shall go for the voting candies â€" but of course you can win just with one of them (the one that gets most of the candies will count for you).
In case you don't want to go with all of them you just need to mark those that are non compending before the deadline is reached, so I won't list them for the voters.

A little update:
The trophies are already on my cuoboard for to get the finishing touches and just need a bit more of training to hold on their bandages. But they are already eager for lollies, gum and chocolate and can't get their mouth full enough of that stuff.  :grin:

Join the team for the trick ot treat parade! 

Yeah â€" it's that time of the year again to meet and have some fun.
Are you ready to team up for the event?

Show us what look you choose for your appearence on the big party.
Will you become a bloody beast, a mad mummy, an angry alien, a scary skeleton, a pretty princess, a magical monster, a hillarious hero, a rude robot, ... or even a crazy cow? :grin:

Who will be be the leader of our team - the first one in our polonaise, while we are on the hunt for sweets ?



… and will we be able to find that mysterious tin box?

We will see   ...   hopefully


But since this still is the colorball, you need a shape to deal with …
okay ~ I did my magic already



and made that thing to challenge for you:




You are allowed to rotate or mirror the shape but don't resize.
There is no color limit and the outline can be coloured, too (but not altered).
Just stay in the shape, be creative and show us your costumes before the 25th of this month is done.

You can't decide which costume you want to show us? No prob, don't worry â€" we take them all!  8-)
(We will simply vote on all of the entries and the one of yours, that got the most votes will be taken into account for the ranking)


Throphies?  - Of course there are some!



All participants will be rewarded with this little mummy
It's addicted to the magical sweets of halloween, but hey - nobody's perfect! :wink:
   




... there is one available,
that only runs for golden drops
... and another one,
that does so for silver bubble gum
... and this one,
who prefers bronze-colored chocolate

.. and now it's your turn to do the magic …

"Ladies and gentleman ...
~ start your engines!"
... aaaaaand ...
"Please push your pixels!“


"NOW!"  



In the meantime I'll see whether I can find some old candies to be offered as trophies for the 'trick or treat' - team members ~ done!   
#898
Oooops  ~  I didn't see that coming!
Thanks a lot to you all!

It has been such a fun and entertaining to watch all the different views and to show you how Tabby is dreaming while staring at the cheesy moon. (laugh)
Also reading Adeels thoughts about the entries was really interesting and gave this colorball a nice individual touch.


… and now you want a new shape to fill, right? (laugh)
Sadly I cannot use what I started preparing last year to maybe become a comp (there already has been a similar one not that long ago).
So that's why I need to think about a new theme and shape first and then about how I migt be able to catch you for participating.  :wink:   
I have some vague ideas, but since I am a bit caught off guard it might take a bit until it is done.

... on my way now ...

You can find lots of tuts about pixel art on DevArt - some related to the techniques and some also including tips for using a special program.

A newsletter (that I am still not through completely) gives you some example-links to take a peek:
http://vanmall.deviantart.com/journal/Tutorial-Showcase-13-392893293
I already read a very lot of interesting things about the special rules of doing pixel art.

Also I recommend you to use the search function to find, what exactly you are looking for.
There are also some groups, that gather all kind of tutorials. To the right side of the linked journal
there are three groups of that kind already named and ready to jump right in.
