The rules as written first WERE:
No. 3 --All submissions must be completed using the original dot-to-dot picture. (no freehand drawings, different views etc.)
No. 4-- You can add detailed drawings to your dot-to-dot, adding shading or enhancements to background (clouds etc...) or details of ANY kind to make your dot-to-dot even more stunning!!
Number 3 has been modified with added clarification that will help in this discussion.
No. 3-- All submissions must be completed using the original dot-to-dot picture. (no freehand drawings, different views etc.) Original lines must be kept in the final submission. Dots and numbers, however, may be kept or deleted from final submission.
NOTE: Because it was unclear we will accept submissions this week but future weeks must retain all original lines.

Wow dat pic tho of the massive amount of pigeons! There must be loads of bird droppings in all those nooks and crannies of the building!!
And we are gonna have to add it to our pictures! Yuck! Lol!

I wouldn't mind at all if the bird droppings were left out of your submission :P

Hm, I don't understand how you're gonna reach your goal about 80 finishers.

This isn't the event that thread is about...
That is a whole another thing... like the pyramid puzzles that I have done in the past.

My goodness this week will be a more difficult challenge! The possible detail on these challenges...
Wow!

So this is my attempt, I haven't done the ultimate challenge, though.

Update on last weeks submissions: Nordhbane is busy designing a nice voting feature for the submissions last week and future weeks. We will be creating a voting thread soon to release the new voting tool!
Stay tuned!

When you said St. Mark's square I didn't know what you were talking about, but now that I see the other image I know exactly what it is. I personally know it as Piazza San Marco. We stayed in a hotel about 100-200 meters away from the square on our Italy trip, the trip where I proposed to my wife. :)

great idea, have to show it to my daughter so she will do all the dirty work ;)

Yeah i think that will be my only colored one. Took me like forever to get it to that state in Paint. And doesnt even look good.
Comment has been collapsed.
It's time for my submission. Added animation reveal, plus finished painting since gif can only contain so many colours.
Comment has been collapsed.
I think it would be better if you posted your submission at the end, so you do not scare off others. :P
I personally like this most of your 3 submissions so far.
Comment has been collapsed.
The previous two weren't nowhere near the best ones of the last challenge though. :) Hopefully I inspire, rather than scare. I know there are some much better artists here, and as we say in Sweden, "taste is like the butt; divided."

+1 he is scaring people off :D glad I only started looking here after I submitted, might have to withdraw, though :P

Now you know how I feel when lxmn made the first animation! :P

Never-ending story inspired!!

Not a peep about my submission... And Nordhbane gets loads of comments.... ;(
That's ok.... I'll go back to my corner... Lol! ;)

You uploaded right after I went to bed... It's just a case of bad tming :/

Very magical! (:
That reminds me, I still have yet to watch Neverending Story.

It wont be as great as you remember it-- computer graphics has greatly improved in cinematography.

I love puppetry and monster make-ups as much as special effects. That dog-dragon is one of the most impressive big-size puppets made. Jim Henson made it I think.
Comment has been collapsed.
yea sometimes the old techniques for special effects are still the coolest...
Comment has been collapsed.
Yea that's why I'm gonna go to the store and buy a set of pastels and maybe even water colors and try future weeks of event with actual manual art tools...
Never done it before so will learn a new skill too!
Comment has been collapsed.
Nobody states it but it really lacks of details!
Impressive works Jeff. you make it difficult for others to post after that! Ho wait I'll have to post mine :D
Comment has been collapsed.
Bump 'cause I finished the connect the dots.
I think I'll sleep now and color tomorrow.
Comment has been collapsed.
O_O
Damn, that's... pretty cool actually. Props for creativity!
Comment has been collapsed.
Not really, but there is a snail in the movie, and just reminded me of that, due to the previous mention of never ending story.
I would never have made that connection without that.
Comment has been collapsed.
You're right! And it looks exactly like mine. They ripped me off ;P

So mine is called Fifty shades of purple under a starry sky.

Here's my submission. Hope you'll enjoy.

Thanks for the bump!
To participate you just have to do the dot to dot... Not required to color it.
Who can't do a dot to dot? Would love to get yours!

Here comes a bump and my submission ;)
Comment has been collapsed.
I need to learn how to make brush strokes, all I know is radiant fills and pattern fills ...
Just doesn't look nearly as beautiful as yours. I'm hoping to learn how to make the brush look during this event!

Bump since it's been a while and going to start this later.

Thanks for the bump! (:
I also need to start soon...

Note:
So far there are 30 GA's for the first week... each week we will try to keep it at 30 GAs. This doesn't include future GAs for leaderboard winners!! (We only had about 35 participants in first week so chances of winning a GA is VERY HIGH!)
Comment has been collapsed.
How many leaderboard winners will be? I mean how many places will you count?
Comment has been collapsed.
Top ten will get recognition and points...
over the weeks we will reward the leaderboarders with GAs and also the top of leaderboards accumulating during the event.
Comment has been collapsed.
So I shouldn't try my best to beat Evil Sheep? Meh, that's not interesting.
Comment has been collapsed.
Sure try your best to beat Evil Sheep... when leaderboards are made then you will get access to GAs and accumulating points over the weeks will get access to even more! SO beat EBS and everyone else... need to keep in top of the race.
Comment has been collapsed.
Wow! I thought your other one was nice... But this is breath-taking!
Excellent! Something to be proud about!
This was done by hand, huh?
Comment has been collapsed.
Thank you (☆˘◡˘☆)
Yes, both were done by hand. I guess I'll stick to the traditional way of doing things, I have some ideas still to try on paper ^^

What is so amazing is the shading for shadows! It really makes it pop out like 3D!
Comment has been collapsed.
Should not have asked for it!

That adorable little cat gets around!
It's adding character to your work... A signature
Since you added color to the landmark and drew a line as part of landmark, I would think although simple it may count as the coloring challenge. Have to see what lmxn says as host. It's his and EBSs call this week.
Comment has been collapsed.
Man I love that cat. But whether or not this is included as colour I'll have to discuss with evilblacksheep.

Went for a dystopian cyberpunk theme, and I don't know how I strayed so far from that, but I like the result. The lighting effects are kinda rough, but I just wanted to finish it before I get sucked into fallout 4.

LOVE the highlights on top right of arches and domes that fit well with the bright light!!
