Socially Distant MS Paint - The Reveal

Ectoplasm

From deep in the depths of quarantine, one (overly long and complicated) question kept repeating...

"Could lock down be made more fun by unleashing the truly creative painting and describing skills of certain Boardsies?"

Tonight, we discover the answer to this and other questions such as:

"Is MS Paint really a limited medium?"

or

"Could Shakespeare himself have done better with such a word limit?"

and

"OMG how the hell will they describe this??"

Join me tonight around 8.30ish as I reveal the talents of a uniquely gifted bunch of Boarsdies.

Ecto - are you copy and pasting the imgr post link or the image link within the tags? Posts don't generally show, but images should.

Yep, see the pic here. Thanks EN

Ectoplasm

Y'know what...I've copied and pasted so often at this point I have no clue what is going on

Deja Boo

right-click the post to open the image in a new tab, then copy that link (hopefully it should work)

Ectoplasm

Anyway we shall soldier on...

in response to this



I think you’ll all agree that bolgbui41 did an excellent job in their first MS Paint adventure with the following description:
music festival, stage (right), three inflatable tentacles, woman walking dog

And make sure it has .jpg(or whatever at the end)

Ectoplasm

Drawing on both the descriptive prowess of bolgbui41 and the memory of a favourite band of Forum Games alumni, Pretzill presents:

Deja Boo

That's brilliant pretzill!!! as always, impressive skills!

Ectoplasm

Holy picture size Batman

aaronjennings

That's a lot closer to what I saw than I expected it to be

fixXxer

What is up with that dawg

twirlagig

This is gas!

Ectoplasm

Pretzill’s creation stirred twirlagig to make her debut description this:

Concert stage, parachutist, palm trees with eyes, crowd, dog walking.

Edit: I'll confess, I'm particularly fond of the palm trees with eyes

As you can all clearly see here, twirlagig's evocative explanation truly inspired grumpylumpy:

well done grumpylumpy! ...and those eyes ...it's all beginning to make sense now :pac:

I like how the stage literally just says "CONCERT". In case there be any doubt!

ANOTHER AMAZING DOG

aaronjennings

I just realised, the dog is about to have a piss

Ectoplasm

Next up to the plate was Mam of 4. Everyone knows Mam for a true connoisseur, so it is unsurprising to find such descriptive nuance as this:

Airplane, parachutist , two coconut trees, seven people, dog, singer, stage .

Deja Boo

Those rare inflatable tentacle all seeing coconut trees :eek:

Wow!
