The MS Paint thread

Its basic, but actually useful utility from time to time. There is no blending tool, no relative selection, no specialized masking tool and no layers. However, it is actually a lot of fun making little drawings on this thing, and I particularly like its tool for making curve lines.

So here is an idea. lets try taking the very basic MS paint, and use it see how far and what type of image it is possible to create from it. How do you approach a limited palate and functionality? Post your attempt and discuss the technique and your experience with this windows stable. :b

Note: Try hosting off site and try post images no larger then 100KB. No bmp please.




Jam it back in, in the dark.

I did this a very long time ago, I'm surprised I still have it. It is of course one of the ducks from Stupid Invaders

There's nowhere I can't reach.

First one, my old RO assassin Aela:



Then a request I made for two of my friends:



not much to it
they are old.. it's been awhile since I used paint. But nontheless.. they are made in paint.

Oh
and this was made for Wakatu, another request:


This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Aya owns MSPaint thrust vectoring macross zero style!

She is the MSPaint Queen. Long before you guys joined.

Used to take me an hour or three, depending if I had the design/pose and colours set already in my mind.
Remember people, these are ancient old ;-;

FELIPE NO

I particularly enjoy your patterns and design for the kimonos. Are you using reference for any of those?

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Nothing in particular, just vague memories of seeing kimonos, their shape and some patterns, trying to add my own.. etc etc ^^;;

I wish I could get more people to participate. This is the lowest common denominator after all. I wonder, if any of people around here do Oekaki or paint chat?

Might as well keep this thread alive


another from my good ol' mspaint times:



This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Remember the doll from the opening scene of The Rock?


The unique fragrance and look of emo and boredom - combined in one simple and easy to view png.


You can't run away from yourself.


The phrase "gaping void" was frolicking about in my mind when I made this.


I just made this to mock a friend of mine who had joined the military.

I'm basically very bored. All of those were made with a mouse and mspaint.
I have no talent in art whatsoever - this is the very outter limit of my ability. :3

I need to learn how to draw better before I do anything with MS Paint.

Andy Stubbings fanart I made the other day



Double Post:
Almost forgot Richard C. Mainstay!



What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

"Its a new breed!"

MSPaint, and optic mouse. Sort of a quick concept, kinda unsettling one.

FELIPE NO

copy of an album cover I did in paint:


this is the actual real cover:


I guess I pretty much screwed up the whole scale but I did it on the first draft.

How ya doing, buddy?
