Socially Distant MS Paint

Ectoplasm

So maybe you have some time to spare and want to test out your artistic skills. Or maybe you feel like you haven't really given a good description lately. If so you are in the right place.

Keeping this one simple. No fancy extras. You'll get a picture to describe or a description to paint. Choose your own painting tool, MS Paint, crayons, whatever you fancy. Let me know if you have a preference to paint or describe or if you're happy to do either. We'll get it going when we have a decent chain.

Kolido

Describer pls

sKeith

painter plz

Down as a describrer in the game Deja is running, so I'll paint in this one, if that's okay?

Same for me, if that's ok? (But you can put me back to describer if you end up with too many painters!)

Trigger

I'll describe in this one

Deja Boo

I can't even find the time to do mine atm, sorry about going too fancy guys.




Sub me for much later in the game, if you need. ta

Deja Boo

MSPaint is always great fun, the more chains the merrier! Thanks for doing this Ecto!

I’ll try describe if you’re still taking signups...

Ectoplasm

Going to leave it open another couple of days, all sign ups welcome

Ectoplasm

So we have Clara on board too (woohoo). Going to sort out the order and kick this off over the weekend

Still taking sign ups

Electric Nitwit

Throw my name into the describer list if you need any more

Don't think I'll have time to paint at the moment

Baggly

Either please!

Ectoplasm

Ok so we have 8 links now! I randed out the pairings so if anyone has any problems with the order, let me know and we can move people around:

Decriber Bolgbui41
Painter Pretzill
Decriber twirlagig
Painter Grumpylumpy
Decriber Mamof4
Painter Baggly
Decriber Kolido
Painter Homer
Decriber Clara
Painter Aaron
Decriber yossarian
Painter sKeith
Decriber ElectricNitwit
Painter Fixxxer
Decriber Trigger
Painter BuileBeag




A quick reminder of the rules: I will send the starting image to the first describer. The first describer than PM's their description to me and the person who is to be our first painter. The first painter than PM's their paint to me and the next describer and so on down the chain.

For hosting your images https://imgbb.com/ is good, but you can use whatever you want as long as there are no issues with viewing/sharing images. Painters include a link to the image in their PM to me and the next describer.

Painters - You can use any form of paint program that you want or you can hand draw.

Describers - You will have 10 words or less to describe the image that has been sent to you

Everyone will have a 24-48 hour window to complete either task; with 8 links that means the reveal will be in about 2 weeks.

Ooh, I've never done this before - could I maybe go a little further down the chain? Or does it make much of a difference?

It won't make much of a difference as either way you will get a picture that you can only use 10 words to describe and you won't know anyone else's description until the reveal...that said, if you want to swap with a later describer that is cool.

Here's one of the earlier games as a pointer...

It started with this...


The first describer then said...

So aspiewriter had a good shot with this and came up with the following description:

"two cats, dancing, pub, guy in white t-shirt, lady, pink"

Which led to...

Nah, keep it as it so - when it goes wrong I can blame both my new-ness and Pretzill for misinterpreting what I'm sure will be a beautifully precise description

Oooops. Sorry Trigger, will fix that now.

Oh , Baggly, all I can say is. .......

aaronjennings

Ooh, it's getting closer...

twirlagig

Ah sugar, I saw there was a new post and thought it was some sort of reveal!
Sorry - first time taking part in these...
Is the reveal at the very end when everyone has described and painted?

aaronjennings

Yep, it wouldn't do for the later painters and describers to see what came before them because it would influence their work
