Never mind. Found the guide on my own.
Seems pretty lazy in comparison to the other submissions ive seen up to now, but heres mine.

Thanks. I thought that if im only using paint might as well try making it uniquely colorful.

Correct image-link would be: http://i.imgur.com/KsAamH7.jpg

I forgot to turn off flux, so I don't know how much that affect the result, and it has transparency, so whether your browser automatically makes a black or white background may also affect it, but here is my "postcard."
Comment has been collapsed.
Oooh, I can get dizzy staring at that background!
Love the postcard idea. :)
Comment has been collapsed.
Nice work. The background is really mesmerising.
Comment has been collapsed.
NEAT! Like the stamps and greetings making it a postcard!
The patterns that fill and color are really cool!
Comment has been collapsed.
BTW, thanks for the message on your picture... It made me smile really big but, maybe not have it there for finished submission and it will look better? Especially if I make a quilt of all the finished products...
Comment has been collapsed.
I don't know if it really looks better because now there's a lot of empty space, but okay.
Comment has been collapsed.
It's a postcard, it was part of the image with the greeting "back home". Ignore Jeff, it was better with the message. :)
Comment has been collapsed.
I guess I see your point... it is a postcard so a postcard without a message is strange...
Comment has been collapsed.
Tree, I forgot it was a Postcard... duhh.. .they are right, a post card without a message is weird. Forget what I said...

Here's my submission:
That's bad but it was fun :D

Here's my entry. Handdrawn. It was fun :D
Comment has been collapsed.
Excellent!
Some of my favorites added in background! Rainbow and grouchy cat, icecream and a funny teddy bear hiding behind the tower!
Thanks for your submission!!
Comment has been collapsed.
WOW thats not with a computer program but with real colored marker... right?
I REALLY like this one!! Thanks for tripping it out for us!
Comment has been collapsed.
Everything is hand drawn. The background image is one of my old drawings.
Comment has been collapsed.
Bump and meow. Sorry, not an artist.

Add a little color to the cat or the tower and we will count it in with the colored submissions!
BTW, what a cute cat!
Comment has been collapsed.
Have to reconsider counting as a color challenge...
Comment has been collapsed.
No worries! By the way, am I supposed to be in a group now or does that happen later on? And on another topic, I did the Eiffel Tower but I broke my scanner at the office so have to wait until Monday for it to be fixed :-/
Comment has been collapsed.
Can you take pic with smartphone or iPad and upload?
Comment has been collapsed.
Doh, didn't think of that - and I left the drawing at the office. Oh well, don't worry, I'll try again another time.

Group will be made by 3rd week and invites sent...

Pff, finished in time, now with the eiffel tower. Sorry the coloring is meh but I couldn't fix my printer and i'm not good at coloring with a mouse.

My entry..
I'm not good with colouring, especially on computer.. Will try and hopefully could update it later..
Comment has been collapsed.
May I ask how you made this? It's so detailed, but doesn't quite follow the lines, and most of the times the lines aren't even visible.
Comment has been collapsed.
I started with basic fills, then built it up with the detail, copying a photo. You can see I didn't finish the bottom.
Comment has been collapsed.
I actually struggled with this in my design... With the actual clock face I copied patterns from actual pic of Big Ben and filled and stacked layers to create final face but it's almost like I could have copied and pasted and it be same...
For all future submissions I'm staying away from original design and create a whole new one that isn't like original.
The goal is to showcase skills in design... Unique and original is what we like to see.... so break away from photos of actual landmarks.
Comment has been collapsed.
I will confer with Nordhbane on this but I think it should be accepted and with this clarification we will see future submissions more original...
Just thought it would be good to clarify what we want to see from challenge...
Comment has been collapsed.
Reason I wondered is because when superimposing the lines on your image, it feels like it doesn't match them very well. Almost like you've taken a photo and hidden the lines behind it to hide that it doesn't quite fit the challenge. Don't get me wrong though, it's a nice vectorisation of the Big Ben.
Also, Inkscape seems like a cool program. :)

No colour, but some extra things added.
Comment has been collapsed.
Oh, that's good enough for counting as coloured. :)
Comment has been collapsed.
Here is mine
It took me more than i thougth but I did it in Paint and it was hard to color it. Not to mention i am not really good at this :)
And i dont think the colors match or combine but well... it was fun!
Comment has been collapsed.
Thats a great job!!
You seem quite skilled at paint now... just imagine all the new things youll learn each week during the event!
Thanks for conquering this challenge like a boss!

Thanks for this event its really fun!

This is my entry, I added some details, shadow, lighting, some background buildings. © Getty / Images/Flickr RF is my real name.
THIS IS NOT A REAL ENTRY! I just wanted to make that joke, I hope you won't hate me for it (you got a free bump out of it at least XD)

Alright for real this time, since everyone is going for artistic and perfect, I went for the speed challenge... wait what do you mean there's no speed challenge?
Comment has been collapsed.
you prolly didnt saw cfw34683 post above you. pretty much the same style :P

Didn't see it until I posted :p Still I feel like I was faster :p

This won't pass for coloring challenge...
We must see coloring added to the landmark... Or time devoted toward detailing.
This is an attempt to find a loophole .
Comment has been collapsed.
It was an attempt at finding a loophole/putting minimal effort into it, technically it does follow all the rules :p I'm not taking the event too seriously so it's ok if you won't accept my entry, I'm just having fun with it. I hope you aren't too bothered by my silly humor (I'll stop if you ask me too).
Comment has been collapsed.
I like the humor... You make a valid point.., too in the process.
I guess I should add it's up to hosts discretion if something is passable..,
For now your submission is acceptable as completed dot to dot but not color challenge...
Comment has been collapsed.
Haha, I understand no worries. The only thing I really care about is that I'm not annoying you or ruining your event which isn't my intention ;)
Comment has been collapsed.
Far from it!
I love your jokes... We all need to laugh!
It's awesome... Keep it up..
Plus it bumps the thread! ;)
Comment has been collapsed.
Yay, I've actually finished it! He-he-he...
Comment has been collapsed.
Lol this is hilarious!
Excellent!
Too bad it's just black and white... So not count as colored...
Psyche! Jk
It definately counts...
So this is an original design? Not like you picked off the ani,action from some other gif and added?
Hate to have to ask but with some of the silliness that's been going on this thread lately.
;)
Comment has been collapsed.
I take only your dot image, some overcast sky and few free images: lightning, skeleton and Marry. If you want I can give you PSD-file.
Comment has been collapsed.
BTW, it is second animated gif that I ever made. First one was 10 years ago...
Comment has been collapsed.
Fantastic job! I could see this become popular on Internet...
Professionally done!
Nice to take an idea and create it into reality like this... You have some killer design skills!!
What a way to set the bar high for others!
Comment has been collapsed.
I think this definitely counts as coloured? Black and white are still colours after all, and the amount of effort in this is much more than other "coloured" ones. But you know, it's your rules, and not my decision to make. (:

Where's the part where she regenerates? I mean, Mary Poppins is definitely a time lady right? :P
