I don't have a printer, can I participate using my trusty Photoshop for dot-connecting and coloring?
Also, dat ruleset o.O
Comment has been collapsed.
Yes! (posting a reply here as well in case others are wondering)
"color crayons, colored pencils, pastel, watercolor, color pen OR you can choose to use any computer program (Photoshop, Paint etc) to add color."
Basically, you're free to do whatever your imagination feels like. If you want to make a macaroni art on top of the lines, do so! :D

Just sum up the rule set with...
"Have fun! Anything goes!"

Don't miss out on the 2nd one as well, there's two running simultaneously. :)

So every "puzzles" in these 12 weeks would be like this one?

So it's just kinda drawing contest where best painter wins?

There's a leaderboard and people get to vote. But even just participating earns you points.

Actually I miscounted... There are 26, so 13 weeks long.

Since noone has posted any submission yet, here is mine:

Damn! You really know some ways of photoshop. Both of your work are so good :)

But I can't draw by hand. But a bit of imagination can get past the complete lack of a steady hand. If you can't draw within the lines, make it a design choice! ^^
Comment has been collapsed.
I never draw by hand, but I know there are different sizes and shapes of pencils, and then I just experiment until I'm happy and start pretty much just moving the hand back and forth hoping it will look nice. If it doesn't, Ctrl-Z. :P

You should use png instead of jpg for this kind of stuff. Losless and may actually take less space than jpg.
Comment has been collapsed.
Jeff's the one that handles the scanning of the images, I would also have gone with png. :) However, the bad quality is because of the scanning from paper, not jpg-artifacts, so in this case it doesn't matter much.

Here's my entry... if you go to it on imgur and it doesn't show up, just click on it and it should pop up.

That's the straight to image link. :) Also, you've named it Big Ben, it's the Eiffel Tower. ;)
Awesome colouring though! Forget Alien vs Predator. We have Alien vs King Kong here!

Love the additions of astronauts and aliens! Bravo!

Looks like a postcard you can buy on site from a local artist. You know, those things people used to send before we got MMS. ^^

0 effort since I don't even have a mouse here...

But you made it your own style, which gets my respect. :)

bump for a nice and different challenge :)
and my entry ;)

Oh wow, those lights must have taken ages to put up there!
Comment has been collapsed.
It was fun and it's what always fascinated me on the Eiffel Tower.
I wanted to put more, but there is also a Big Ben to work on. ;)
Comment has been collapsed.
Yeah, I started thinking about putting lights on mine as well, but decided it would be too much time to make it look appropriate for the style I used. coughLazycough
Comment has been collapsed.
Also just amazed at this piece!! Those lights beat out my tiny amount of lights!!

A cool thing about using a computer means you can see what the end result looks like without the dots and numbers.
Comment has been collapsed.
I'm not sure if removing the connect the dots page is against the rules or not, so here it is with it. Most of the numbers got covered anyway so it doesn't really matter.
Comment has been collapsed.
I'm not sure either actually, will have to talk with Jeff about it. Personally I'm putting the dots on a layer above and using multiply on it so it is seen over the coloring. One problem with painting over the dots layer is that you'll also remove the details in that image that are not the dots, like the beams going zic-zac in the tower.
You're not disqualified though. :)
Comment has been collapsed.
To leave or not to leave the dots is the question
I guess it should be up to the designers decision... the rule says that you must use the dot to dot to create your work-- not necessarily have it in the completed work

Absolutely love your impressionistic technique, Tree!

I'll be participating soon. In the mean time, have a bump. c:

Hey Nordhbane: Can you put in parenthesis after Interesting Facts something like "Watch the tailor-made video on Eiffel Tower for this event!"
I think people may not realize what they are missing.
Comment has been collapsed.
Okay, I did this one as well... the top definitely was a bit more fidgety then the other one
Comment has been collapsed.
Not perfect by any means, just a quick sketch. Thanks for the fun task. :)

You know what might be neat? If we take all the designs at the end and make a quilt-like collage of all of them together...
Comment has been collapsed.
Wasn't intentional, just saw that many people went with the trees + sky coloring already and wanted to do something different. Black + red + white is a popular scheme, many famous things use it already, like Sin City for example. I was sort of thinking about all the crap that happened to Paris in the recent few years too, so I thought the red would suit it sadly. Well anyway, if I find the time I might fix the filling issues to make it a little better.

Now it feels a bit morbid, with all that blood flowing under the tower. :O

I like pen and paper, will print the tower and building tonight XD

I did a thing... Kinda inspired by Phoxy's lights (:

That is awesome, Imxn. The blinking looks extra special !!!!

Darn, I was going to be first with animation in next week's challenge! ;D Thought about it too late and didn't want to change my submission.
Comment has been collapsed.
EXCELLENT! I thought of blinking my lights but didn't want to go back and redo...
I like yours and Ill keep mine the way it is... don't want to burn myself out and in reality it's kinda like when you submit-- well it's a done deal.
