Laut http://blog.beetlebum.de/2006/10/27/geschmooglet-aber-anders/ sieht der GoogleBot aber anders aus. :-)

[Translation: "according to blog.beetleburn.de the Googlebot looks different though" -Philipp]

Why did you decide to give it away Philipp?

Just for (your) fun!

When I get home I'm going to gey my sketching stuff out.

you could win this Mambo.. :P

I prefer the ruralbot .com style :)

Don't forget David the winner will be drawn randomly, so you can participate even if you think you're not the best artist!

Well I'm not a very good artist so here's my entry:

Ooo, I do love that MMOArt picture...

Does it have to be drawn in reality? Or can a computer be used?

You can use anything at all to create the drawing, so computer-drawings are fine too. (Note that it does not at all have to look like the Googlebot MMOArt created.)

Here's my Googlebot! I hope you guys like it! =Op

(Can you guys see my sketching?)

I don't have a scanner, can I participate with a sketch on a computer?

When's the deadline?

I've updated my entry (I know it's random, but I got bored) it now looks more like a planet: [ http://picasaweb.google.com/mrrix32/MyGooglebot/photo?authkey=mglF9WQESV8#5016245808217867858]

Hi,

Since G helps me everyday, deliver all my email, bring a lot of traffic to my websites, helps me to pay the bills through adsense and so on, I thought that would be very nice to have the Googlebot Artwork to decorate my homeoffice(that I hope to be done in march of this year).

Here is my entry:

Its not a sketch, but I hope that I can participate too...
my email: tserafimgmail
ps: yes, it has a very low density

Thanks Philipp for the idea... I had a good time doing that...

two ideas along the same lines....
first one was inspired by :
http://www.treknature.com/gallery/Asia/Indonesia/photo67.htm

http://trex005.googlepages.com/GoogleBot2.png

Second is incredibly simple, but the same concept :

Jake that's OK, I got your email address. You can just post your pic.

Mambo, that's awesome! ;-)

Hey thanks Tony! :-) I enjoyed doing it. I was going to do R2-D2, with like a hologram projection, but I decided against (i.e. i'm not good enough)

Philipp, bummer you can't have a non random prize too.... I'd give my vote to Mambo... That's great :)

I agree with Travis... Mambo´s artwork is GREAT!

Do we get to find out who won? =Op

<< Do we get to find out who won? =Op >>

Uh-oh... this brings back memories of this:

i think Mambo has the best artwork!

Congrats :)

Well done JennyPenny.

   "Speech! Speech!"

;-)

Congratulations JennPenny! I hope that prize gets framed :-)

Congratulations!
can i get a i autograph? ;)

OH

MY

GOSH!!! =oO

I can't believe I won! =O) First and foremost, I'd like to thank my mom, dad, and sister.... Just kidding! =op

Wow!... hehehe! I had A LOT of fun sketching the Googlebot. (Pssst. I'm in the sketching. I'm the one holding a book! LOL) I didn't think I'd win since I never win anything(!). Today must be my lucky day.

I love everyone's drawings (you guys are extremely talented artists!) and I'm sure I wouldn't have won if the winner wasn't chosen randomly!

Thank you, Philipp, for giving us a fun contest to compete in. I hope Google doesn't go out of business so that I could read your blog and talk to the forum members for a long time!

Thanks again!

Jenny

Congrat' Jenny!
I was going to draw a stick figure (I am good at it :D) yesterday, but just toooo much homework!!!

Congrats, Jenny. You sure got the most surrealistic sketch.

hey Jenny – con'grats!!

Thank you guys! =O)
