Sprite"JAN" / Jam15 to Jam25 ] - (Winner Announced)

[I<3Pindorama!]

Deadline: 25 Jamuary
VOTE NOW OR UNTIL February 1st:

And the moment that we waited comes to the fore!

First I need to thank everyone who participated in this competition.
You accepted the challenge to hunt your "thing" and I'm sure that was
one more enriching and funny experience in the wonderful adventure
that is dive into your own "dark" depths.

What came to light was much more than a drawing of a "terrifying creature" ...
Each participant emerged to the surface many traits and words full of memories,
preferences, fears, desires, and a plethora of information about yourself and
your steps.

Perhaps more than would have imagined...



Someone have said "God is in the details" ...
I feel that "God" is not alone inside of us...

We can find a myriad of names to call everything that we extracted here...
Maybe ART is the one that best fits, because not exclude any other possibility.

Thank you, my friends ...
You tattooed my humble soul with memories that will be unforgettable for me!

Floating Foam - by Castro Alves

Spoiler

Era por uma dessas tardes, em que o azul do céu oriental — é pálido e saudoso, em queo rumor do vento nas vergas — é monótono e cadente, e o quebro da vaga na amurada do navio — é queixoso e tétrico. Das bandas do Ocidente o sol se atufava nos mares "como um brigue em chamas"... e daquele vasto incêndio do crepúsculo alastrava-se a cabeça loura das ondas. Além... os cerros de granito dessa formosa terra da Guanabara, vacilantes, a lutarem com a onda invasora de azul, que descia das alturas... recortavam-se indecisos na penumbra do horizonte. Longe, inda mais longe... os cimos fantásticos da serra dos à"rgãos embebiam-se na distância, sumiam-se, abismavam-se numa espécie de naufrágio celeste. Só e triste, encostado à  borda do navio, eu seguia com os olhos aquele esvaecimento indefinido e minha alma apegava-se à  forma vacilante das montanhas — derradeiras atalaias dos meus arraiais da mocidade. É que lá, dessas terras do Sul, para onde eu levara o fogo de todos os entusiasmos, o viço de todas as ilusões, os meus vinte anos de seiva e de mocidade, as minhas esperanças de glória e de futuro:... é que dessas terras do Sul, onde eu penetrara "como o moço Rafael subindo as escadas do Vaticano;"... volvia agora silencioso e alquebrado... trazendo por única ambição — a esperança de repouso em minha pátria. Foi então que, em face destas duas tristezas — a noite que descia dos céus, — a solidão que subia do oceano —, recordei-me de vós, ó meus amigos! E tive pena de lembrar que em breve nada restaria do peregrino na terra hospitaleira, onde vagara; nem sequer a lembrança desta alma, que convosco e por vós vivera e sentira, gemera e cantara... à" espíritos errantes sobre a terra! à" velas enfunadas sobre os mares!... Vós bem sabeis quanto sois efêmeros... — passageiros que vos absorveis no espaço escuro, ou no escuro esquecimento. E quando — comediantes do infinito — vos obumbrais nos bastidores do abismo, o que resta de vós? — Uma esteira de espumas... — flores perdidas na vasta indiferença do oceano. — Um punhado de versos... — espumas flutuantes no dorso fero da vida!... E o que são na verdade estes meus cantos?... Como as espumas, que nascem do mar e do céu, da vaga e do vento, eles são filhos da musa — este sopro do alto; do coração — este pélago da alma. E como as espumas são, à s vezes, a flora sombria da tempestade, eles por vezes rebentaram ao estalar fatídico do látego da desgraça. E como também o aljofre dourado das espumas reflete as opalas rutilantes do arco-íris, eles por acaso refletiram o prisma fantástico do entusiasmo — estes signos brilhantes da aliança de Deus com a juventude! Mas, como as espumas flutuantes levam, boiando nas solidões marinhas, a lágrima saudosa do marujo... possam eles, ó meus amigos! — efêmeros filhos de minh'alma — levar uma lembrança de mim à s vossas plagas!...

Spoiler SOUNDTRACK A JANGADA http://youtu.be/QFg6ljzC1r4 Composition: Alberto Nepomuceno Lyric: Juvenal Galeno Singer: Anna Maria Kieffer Piano:Achille Picchi MIDI: http://goo.gl/qX0dr6 [close] It was by one of those afternoons where the blue of the eastern sky - is pale and wistful where the wind's rumor in the vergas and is monotonous and cadent, and the break of the wave on the gunwale of the ship - is complainant and lugubrious From the west side the sun penetrated in the seas "as a brig on fire" ... and the vast fire from the dusk spreaded by the blond head of the waves. Beyond ... the granite hills of this beautiful land of Guanabara, fearful, fight against the invader wave of blue, coming down from the heights ... clashing undecided in the  horizon's gloom. Far away, even further away ... the fantastic peaks from the saw of "Orgãos" soaked by the distance, disappear, launched in a sort of heavenly wreck. Lonely and sad, leaning against the ship's edge, I followed with eyes that undefined evanescence and my soul clung to faltering form of the mountains - the last watchtowers of the tents of my youth. It's there, in these Southern lands to which I had led the fire of my full enthusiasms, the luxuriance of my full illusions, my twenty years of lifeblood and youth, my hopes of glory and future: ... these lands of the South, where I penetrated "as the young Raphael climbing the stairs in the Vatican," ... now returned silent and broken ... bringing only one ambition - the hope to rest in my country. Then, in the face of these two sorrows - the night that descended from heaven - the loneliness that rising from the ocean - I remembered you, Oh my friends! And I felt sorry for remember that will soon nothing would be left from the pilgrim on this hospitable land where him had wandered; not even the memory of this soul, that whith you and for you lived and felt, groaned and sing ... Oh wandering spirits on earth! ! Oh full sail on the seas ... Ye know how much ye are as ephemeral ...  - passengers that you drag into the dark space, or in the dark oblivion. And when - comedians of infinity - hiding in the backstage of abyss, what's left of you? - A belt of foams ... - flowers lost in the vast ocean's indifference. - A handful of verses ... - floating foam in the life's wild dorsum...! And what are really these my songs? ... As the foams, that are born from the sea and sky, from the wave and wind, and are children of Muse - this breath from the high of a heart - this pelago of the soul. And as the foams, sometimes are the dark flora of the storm, and sometimes fracture in the fateful crackling from the doom's whip. And as well as the the golden moisture of the foams reflects the rainbow's glittering opal, it's reflected by chance the fantastic prism from the enthusiasm - these bright signs of God's covenant with the youth! But like the floating foams carry, floating in the sea loneliness, the longing sailor's tear...I wait, Oh my friends! - Ephemeral childrens of my soul - that send a souvenir from me to your shores ...!

Lyric:

Nêga
You spent so blissfully
The last few days with me
Nêga
I spent so nicely too
The last few days with you

When I met you, it was so fine
I didn't talk a lot to you
I only mentioned your smooth hair
You made a speech about shampoo
We took many, many, many photographs
Downtown
As we passed through

Nêga
You spent so blissfully
The last few days with me
Nêga
I spent so nicely too
The last few days with you

You've been going just where I've gone
All my people you have seen
I've been doing just what you've done
Now I can dig your cup of mu tea
We let our moments become, become
What they really had to be

Nêga
You spent so blissfully
The last few days with me
Nêga
I spent so nicely too
The last few days with you

Develop our photographs
As simple dreams that will come true
Perhaps they will make you laugh
Or make you sure about we two

Develop, baby, our photographs
Perhaps they will make you sure
Perhaps they will show you nothing
Nothing, but a shade of blue.

In Brazil "Nêga" is the tender term to designate the black-skinned woman, but is also commonly used by Brazilians (especially those born in Bahia) to refer the beloved woman independently of her ethnic origin. "Nêga" has a similar context to "Honney" "My Sweet" and etc ...

[selmiak]

now it's getting really cryptic...

Should the "Thing" be in pure pixelart? I ask because you seem to have blurred the Background which is not pixelart.
I get the twilight thing, you want to see a nice atmospheric sky for the Thing. But what's up with the track? Do we listen to the track hidden somewhere inside thousands of spoilers and ... what?

[I<3Pindorama!]

Hi, Selmiak!
Thank you for expressing interest in the challenge!
Isso me deixa muito entusiasmado! 
(It makes me very excited! )

Well...

The "Thing" must be in agreement with what it expressed within you.
Therefore the "Thing" might or might not manifest only in pixelart.
The big challenge is to free the mind to explorer all the possibilities ...

Allow even the "doubt" would become an instrument for creating!

I put the red band in the picture example just to Indicate where
the "Thing" should arise, but it's arms, Tentacles, neck, antennas
or any extension of the torso can be extended for all
background since not covering it completely.

About the track: It should serve as inspiration to create
an illustration (a situation or event) that may or may not be
connected to the "Thing".

An example:

Spoiler

Draw a couple taking a selfie and the "Thing" behind, emerging from the sea, with a sign which reads "No Flash, Please!" or doing "Peace and Love" with his hands.

Legend: Develop our photographs As simple dreams that will come true

[close]

Another example (this example kill two birds with one stone):

Spoiler

On the plane the banner could be written: "Use Shampoo The Thing!"

Legend: I Mentioned only your smooth hair You made a speech about shampoo.

[close]

The lyric and audio music is available in MATERIAL FOR EXTRA BONUS option.

Just remember that all bonus are only optional extra challenges (and they are worth points) but none of them is required.

I cheer for you to join my friend!

I am available to clarify or obscure any doubt...

/!\ Hey! About the trophies & souvenir... /!\

Until I'm in the expectation!

Ermmm...don't build it up too much, dude... You're giving me stage-fright...

So...yeah: I'm making the trophies and the souvenirs so maybe: "A grotesque surprise" would be the better term (in both design and ability )

I should have them ready in the next day or so...

Oh and by the way: KICKASS CTHULHU PICTURE THERE MATE!!!

I can already imagine the intensity that Your fright and your ability will create an unforgettable and wonderful grotesque surprise!
I am very grateful for answering my call for help. I feel as if the contest were awarded!And the best part is that this award will
be shared with all participants! I'm sorry ... but now it is impossible to control my enthusiasm with my own and lovely fear...

About the image... yep!
As we say here: "DO CARALHO!"

[Cassiebsg]

As we say here: "DO CARALHO!"

Not something you should be proud of...

[I<3Pindorama!]

Not something you should be proud of...

Homo sum: nihil humani a me alienum puto

Particularly do not see in what context would be some shame ...
Especially in this that I did use.

And since we are talking so much about pride...
Would be reason of proud for me
to count with your participation Cassie!
You will participate? Please ... 

[Cassiebsg]

Particularly do not see in what context would be some shame ...
Especially in this that I did use.

In Portugal you would already had gotten a warning for use of such language...
Maybe in Brasil it is not such a bad word...
So, as we say in Portugal "Não havia necessidade"...

You will participate? Please ... 

Not likely, I don't like "things" and this challenge is a bit bigger than the time I have.

[I<3Pindorama!]

I can not speak for all Brazilians because like as in Portugal,
(regardless of "warnings") every person has a way of reacting with
the expression and the word.

Some people consider this and others words as dirties, vulgar... and while others people
see it simply as something natural.

But in my view depends largely on how it is being used. 
Particularly I see no reason to feel offended when it is used to express admiration.

Spoiler

[close]

I honestly respect your point of view,
considering that i never say what should be good or bad for you.
But... respectfully pleases me your reaction because directly or indirectly end up having connection with
the theme of this contest... that's about all that haunts us, disgusts us, cause torment, admiration or desire.
Not by what the "Thing" can be, but the emotions that are awakened (or dug up) inside of us from it.

A little parable that I just invent now:
(everything is related to the theme and can provide inspiration or not): 

It was once a monkey ... very hairy ... his name was Prometheus.
One day while playing with a stick in his hands ...
He rubbed on a dry leaf ... frenetically ...
From the leaf started out a little smoke ...
He joined a few more leaves ... and came the fire!
Prometheus and his people came to live in caves ...
Because of the heat your animal hair began to fall ...
The monkey was now naked?
Yes... but... they have always been ...
They felt ashamed to be different from other hairy animals
And they proceeded to kill them and dress up with their skins
Much more than warm the cold ... warmed his wild spirit.
Yes... but... did not take much time to this monkeys feel superior
And so it got rid of the use  skins of inferior creatures ...
And they found other means to generate a new skin ...
A new skin that no make reference to their origin ... but their future ...
Future that does not seem like a place ... but an eternal way to distance them of all that is natural ...
A beautifool day one of the monkeys said:
Look out! Some words are naked!
That shameless!

I have often wonder...
What makes these words so dirties
Is it what is in our bodies?
In the sentence where we say?
Or maybe that is within the mind?
I don't know ... but i don't fear ...
And not bother me...
Actually instigates me.

As I often say to myself: "O preconceito é algo desnecessário..."

Even without drawing or time ...
You just made a great participation in this contest!
And I am truly grateful for what you did, Cassie.
