Dragonfly Coloring Contest

[+AtwellFamily]

I am already thinking about coins for next year and here is one that I am working on. I wanted to let people have a say in the version so the coloring contest came to mind.

 

Rules;

1. Color between the lines
   
2. All types of enamel are ok (glow, glitter, translucent, etc.)
   
3. Have fun and post ideas in forum
   

 

Winners will be chosen by the family and will receive 2 free geocoins of their version.

Cool, design has been transfered to Illustrator. Now I am waiting for some inspiration

[+Team Professor X]

Nice dragonfly.

X area will be the color of the metal?

Otherwise I have another idea

[+yanagi]

I think the X area is a cutout area

[+AtwellFamily]

Submit by Thanksgiving and the X is cutouts.

Nice ! Need to dig up my old coloring pencils :-) How many designs is one person allowed to send in ?

 

This design would be nice for a suncathcer coin.

okay here you go.

 

 

Edit: It seems the dark blue has now got a dotty look to it... that wasnt the aim... (or it may just be my laptop)

I don't know if I have a coloring program ?? How about red, orange, and yellow wings, blue body, and a green rocker ...

[+zanadian]

Here's my interpretation;

 

 

I was thinking one of these versions with translucent wings

[+Murazor]

My attempt:

 

 

Front: 7 colors

Back: 3 colors including glow

[SparkleKitty]

Here is one of my ideas!

 

 

Can I post a couple more ideas too?\

 

(the dots on the picture are not supposed to be there...?!)

[SparkleKitty]

Here is another one.

 

[+CEH2000]

Here is one of mine, more coming:

 

The half circle could be plain metal.

[SparkleKitty]

 

Here is a variation of CEH's.

How about a USA-Canada themed color scheme.

The yellow could be shiny gold.

 

[SparkleKitty]

I don't know if I have a coloring program ?? How about red, orange, and yellow wings, blue body, and a green rocker ...

 

like this??

 

[+runninbear1]

Why , Yes ... , That turned out very nice. Thank you so much !!

[+runninbear1]

There are lots of very nice designs , Everyone has come up with A+ ideas , .... Good luck choosing ...

[+terratin]

Here's my attempts. Not easy to do on a notebook without mouse

 

The idea is to have the wings in different shades of pale transparent pink and colourless. The body will be in shiney enamal and the water in deep cut metal (maybe partly cutout or even deeper in lilipad or slightly wavey shapes) with transparent/translucent blue over it to give it a watery feeling. The metal might look best in silver (not too shiney) or aged silver. Backside all solid colours same colour, or slightly darker than the front.

 

 

Second attempt: this time a dragonfly over greenery.

The dark aubergine of the wings might look best in a not too shiney enamel, the lighter colours will be slightly warmer, lighter and transparent. The body would look best in some kind of metallic colour (not glitter) or shiney enamel. The green background deep metal with transparent/translucent green over it to give it a depth effect. Metal potentially aged silver or black. Backside all solid colours same colour, or slightly darker than the front.

Sounds like fun. My first attempt at posting a picture here, hope this works...

 

[+s.f.g.]

wow shows not to procrastinate. had a bunch done up when the post first appeared and it seems a couple cachers and i share an imagination. cool.

 

googled dragonfly and one came up that i like and tried to replicate it:

[+s.f.g.]

a second try a bit more colorful

 

[+s.f.g.]

Last one, the gray is suppose to be Polished Silver. think that would look rather sharp

 

[SparkleKitty]

When will the winning designs be chosen?

[+zanadian]

I was wondering the same thing.

[+p-m-k]

Hi, this are my favorite colors (looking like a rainbow):

 

[+HJThom]

I have designed two black nickel versions.

 

A blue and

According to post #8, this contest ended over a month ago, but unfortunately there's been no response from the original poster

[+AtwellFamily]

Sorry for the delay, my year ended with two major life events and therefore this is the first time back to the forums since i posted the contest. I like a number of the substitutions, i'll review and respond shortly.

[+sparklefingers]

You are correct. My company, Cache Advance, acquired Cache Addict last spring, and we subsequently finished the production of those coins:

Cache-inn is one of our resellers. I was unaware of this contest until I saw your post today...!!

Lisa I'm not fussed about the competition I was just shocked to see them. I managed to grab one of mine at the giga. I hear they're selling out.

I bet you would be shocked! We'll take a look and sort out which ones were 'contest winners' and honor this contest. It may take a while as we are basically sold out on 3 of the 4 versions but we are planning to remint soon.
