Will color it later. Decided to switch to using Illustrator this week because I ran out of paper, and it's faster.
Update: Added colored version. I got a bit confused as to what was what, so I just painted some parts with the same color instead of detailing.

First one! Nice :) Now I'm waiting for some colors.
Comment has been collapsed.
But you probably learned something from it, and it will go faster the next time! :) Seriously though, it's rare I spend less than 3 hours on mine. :P
Comment has been collapsed.
3 hours. Temple of Artemis took me 3 hours and it was really fast. Fastest among all serious submissions.
Comment has been collapsed.
I know, right! :) Longest I've spent is about 8-9 hours.
Comment has been collapsed.
And mine are very simple, I just color, but I'm too perfectionist, so that takes my time.
Comment has been collapsed.
That's also something that needs to be learned, how to let go and just publish. :)
Comment has been collapsed.
Yep, I'm slowly gathering strength to do that with little things, like, when I post threads now, I don't care about the time anymore, I just hit the button without looking at the clock. Before, I only posted threads on times ending in 0, 2, 5 and 8. But for some other things I just can't seem to let go yet. :P
Comment has been collapsed.
No wonder you had so many puzzles involving time. :D
Comment has been collapsed.
I know what you mean. I'm still working on posting threads with odd number of words, but I'm really struggling. If I do this, I'll be able to start working on not posting with prime number of letters only. :P
Comment has been collapsed.
Sometimes those simple ones are the most beautiful.
Comment has been collapsed.
And you added colors. I like the precision in the picture.
Comment has been collapsed.
Very good. Hope you'll try the coloring challenge too.

TOO SOON! YOU HAVE BUMPED THE THREAD TOO SOON, EXECUTUS!
Comment has been collapsed.
Colour palette bump.
edit: wrong topic...
Comment has been collapsed.
I like colour palette bumps, even if they are in the wrong topic. :)
Comment has been collapsed.
I first had my statue of liberty here as well, so deleted that one. :)
Comment has been collapsed.
Nice coloring, however we can't accept this submission, because the original outline is somewhat different :D
Comment has been collapsed.
Finished my submission, just to bump the thread ;)
Comment has been collapsed.
Why would I? It's too easy, there is no challenge and it's not my idea.
Comment has been collapsed.
At first, I should understand difference between pigeon and dove.
Comment has been collapsed.
Ok, I'll try my best on making of Dove of Freedom if you make Spaceship of Freedom.
Comment has been collapsed.
Do I really have to? Please, let me do something different, please, please...
Comment has been collapsed.
I also suggested giant robots with laser cannons, but it would be too easy. To be honest, I'm lack of fantasy, so let it be giant black pig with laser cannon?
Comment has been collapsed.
It's like a treehouse for birds. Dove's perhaps? :)
Comment has been collapsed.
Sweet! I like the pattern you used. It looks like a canvas :)
Comment has been collapsed.
Here's my entry. A bit earlier in the week as usual :)
Comment has been collapsed.
Hm. I have dilemma: should I try to repeat photo of Pavilion or do smth original? On one hand, I want to work with water and reflections again, on other, I've already done very similar work not so long ago.
Comment has been collapsed.
I prefer originality and doing something new. :) That's why I'm still doing different styles each challenge, except perhaps the first two, which was a bit similar to each other. That's how you can learn more, by doing new stuff.
Comment has been collapsed.
I agree. It's always good to see some new ideas. It's amazing how people get more and more creative each week.
Comment has been collapsed.
Colored manually with the only thing I had...
Sidewalk chalk! (At beach house)
Comment has been collapsed.
That really created some really soft, but magnificent colours!
Comment has been collapsed.
I like it like this! And it's great to see you with a manual work :). I hope you'll do some more!
Comment has been collapsed.
Love these soft faded colors. Looks like an old painting.
Comment has been collapsed.
That works really well. I only looked at your picture now, I submitted something similar. Your colors look softer than mine which I actually prefer, just couldn't do it
Comment has been collapsed.
I've got something for this, dot-to-dot lines finished.
edit: Teaser added, the colouring can begin.
Comment has been collapsed.
Can't wait :) Show me show me show me show me show me show me show me show me .
Comment has been collapsed.
Why, I'm only bumping the thread.
Ok, maybe I should've specified the something(an idea), that wouldn't get your hopes up. But then again, don't get your hopes up for my ideas in general. :P
Comment has been collapsed.
Only 1 turtle and it's not a ninja or a mutant, but might be teenage.
Comment has been collapsed.
At first I tried a 3D-model version, but the lines are just a bit off, so no matter how I tweaked and turned it, I couldn't get it to match the image. So I had to scrap that idea. Instead I went with the style of gradients and a ton of overlay layers. Was quite fun doing the reflection. Because it's angled the way it is, you can't just mirror the image, so I got to play around with a tool I haven't used before to fix that. :)
Comment has been collapsed.
Fog looks familiar. Do you need russian lesson for water waves?
Comment has been collapsed.
Fabulous job! Love the reflection, shading, fog, color palette... everything works well together...
Comment has been collapsed.
Mmmmmm. I love that piece. It has a great feel to it. Jeff already mentioned everything that's so awesome about this submission
Comment has been collapsed.
Wow really great one, I love the color scheme you picked :3

Welcome to the Golden joystick pavilion!
Comment has been collapsed.
I decided to finally pick up my soft pastels. ;)
Comment has been collapsed.
Nice. You still have some time to try in the coloring challenge.
Comment has been collapsed.
I hope it won't get washed off too soon :) Good idea for this one.
Comment has been collapsed.
That's a really interesting idea! There's just one problem with it... Now I wish I had thought of it first.
Comment has been collapsed.
OMG! And I thought it took a long time for me to make the 20 foot high Statue of liberty!!
But a sandcastle made on the beach this big?? Did you get sunburnt?!
Comment has been collapsed.
This is the first and last time I try to do both challenges in a week!
Idea sounded nice to me:
- this is the golden pavilion so I'm going to paint the statue gold;
- the statue, I tend to associate it with money, so this pavilion is going to be on a green banknote.
Easy, right? ..NOPE!
As I was fearing, time wasn't enough to complete both. The statue of liberty is a masterpiece compared to this submission :(
Dropped original plan to make an old-style banknote and quickly did this crap, which could at most be an 100P voucher =P
Sorry, everyone -_-
Comment has been collapsed.
A 100P voucher is disappointing, I'm almost constantly at 300P...
The striped overlay is a nice touch. :)
You still have 15 hours to improve if you so wish.
Comment has been collapsed.
With time and practice (which these challenges will give you) things goes faster. Don't give up "on your dreams" of one day doing both challenges again. :)
It's nice to hear the story about it, it might not have made sense otherwise, but knowing what you just said it really explains it. I like the security strip added on one of the lines. :)
Comment has been collapsed.
Not disappointed anymore, I could use that voucher right now. :P
Comment has been collapsed.
Bump because this might be my first submission since week 1. (:
But don't get your expectations up! I'm not sure I'll be able to pull it off... yet...
Comment has been collapsed.
Was helping out with a wedding this weekend, so had less time than normal... And decided to do something more adventurous than normal. Instead of sleeping. Sometimes I just can't help myself...
And, who would have guessed? I'm not entirely happy with it. Some things never change...
Comment has been collapsed.
Changes are minimal and within the theme, so it's acceptable.
Nice work with the textures!
Comment has been collapsed.
It's cool how the colors are bright and contrasting, yet the paviliot still looks peaceful and calm. Good job.
Comment has been collapsed.
Shading could have been way better, but it's out of my current abilities, and I've spent too much time on this already (more than 15 hours...) But at the same I'm kinda proud of myself because it's my second pixel art attempt - the first being my avatar :D
Drawn on a canvas 1/16th size of the original image, and enlarged afterwards. I also included a version with the dots and lines superimposed (which doesn't look half as nice). Click on the images and zoom in to see it in full glory :D
Comment has been collapsed.
Awesome pixelart! It follows the lines good enough that the superimposed ones aren't needed.
Comment has been collapsed.
Thanks! (:
It has to follow the lines, I traced them :P
Comment has been collapsed.
Really cool. It's so hard to make a good, nice looking pixel art, but you made it.
Comment has been collapsed.
Thank you (: I feel like the pavilion itself lacks more details, but I wasn't sure how to add them, so I just went without ^^
Comment has been collapsed.
Just meaning that it's allowed within the rules and you don't need to have the added lines. :)
Comment has been collapsed.
I almost forgot to finish and post this one >__<
Comment has been collapsed.
I wonder if that cloud overlay isn't the same I used in one challenge. ^^
Lovely colours, feels very tranquil.
Comment has been collapsed.
I like the reflection in the water, looks natural.
Comment has been collapsed.
The sky or the fog? The sky is a watercolor texture i found online, while the fog is just some white brushing
Comment has been collapsed.
Ah, yes. The sky, recognized the streaks in it and saw they were also in the clouds, so figured it was part of the same. I only used a very small bit of it. :)
Edit: Added a screen with the stars aligned.

The Golden Pavilion Challenge!
Where: Kyoto, Japan
What: Kinkaku-ji (金閣寺 - "Temple of the Golden Pavilion") or Rokuon-ji (formal name - 鹿苑寺 - "Deer Garden Temple") is a Zen Buddhist temple in northern Kyoto, Japan.
Interesting facts:
The pavilion is three stories high, approximately 12.5 meters in height. Top two floors are completely covered in approximately 48 kilograms of gold leaf, inside and out. Each floor represents a different style of architecture: The first floor is built in the Shinden style used for palace buildings during the Heian Period. The second floor is built in the Bukke style used in samurai residences. The third floor is built in the style of a Chinese Zen Hall and is capped with a golden phoenix.
The building's first purpose was to serve the retiring Shogun Ashikaga Yoshimitsu (1358-1409) as a residence. The gold-leaf-adorned building was converted into a Zen temple shortly after his death.
It has burned down numerous times throughout its history including twice during the Onin War, a civil war that destroyed much of Kyoto; and once again more recently in 1950 when it was set on fire by a mentally ill monk. The present structure was rebuilt in 1955.
The pavilion extends over a pond, called Kyōko-chi (鏡湖池 - "Mirror Pond") set in a Japanese strolling garden. The pond contains stones that are symbols of the Buddhist creation story. Location of the garden implements the idea of borrowing of scenery ("shakkei") that integrates the outside and the inside, creating an extension of the views surrounding the pavilion and connecting it with the outside world.
Golden Pavilion is one of the key historic sites in Japan that attracts a lot of tourists every year.
You can see Kinkaku-ji live on it's official website here.
One more thing. If you'd like to Learn Japanese, try solving the Golden Pavilion Mystery.
GOOD LUCK on the challenge! Create for us some breath-taking Pictures of the The Golden Pavilions for some awesome GA wins!
Cool pic of landmark (that I took myself during my trip to Japan earlier this year):
