Moar MS Paint!

Ectoplasm

Hey everyone! Have you ever wanted to put limits on the number of words you can use to describe something? Or have you ever stopped and thought...MS Paint really is my expressive medium of choice?

Well if you have (really??) this game is definitely for you!

And if you haven't this game is definitely for you too!

This will be a standard game of Paint where we start with one image and see where we end up. Hopefully there is some appetite for it.
Please indicate whether you want to paint, describe or will do either. We can get going once there are a decent number of sign ups.


The Rules:

I will send the starting image to the first describer. The first describer than PM's their description to me and I send it to the person who is to be our first painter. The first painter than PM's their paint to me, I sent it to 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 must include a link to the image in their PM to me.

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.

Yes yes yes I do enjoy these.

Painter or word mangler, either is fine.

aaronjennings

Excellent

I painted in the last one, so would prefer to describe this time, but happy with either option

Mam of 4

Describer please

Electric Nitwit

Oh, missed this, I'm in

Happy with either. I'd have to draw on my phone with my fat fingers so it would be particularly bad, mind

I'm in. May I be a describer, please?

tusk

Paint pls

sKeith

Ill have a shot at painting, if there’s any painting spots still available

No worries twirl, it may take a little bit to get going but they're nearly always worth the wait.

Excellent. I'll get this sorted tomorrow, if any more sign ups by then I'll add to the list. This one should be fun

Me too - what's that about?

Sorry folks, planned to get this running last week but was a surprisingly busy week!

As we have an odd number of sign ups, we're going to start this off slightly different. I have a picture chosen but instead of sending that to our first person to describe, I will be getting in on the action and sending a 10 word description to our first painter. The running order is below. Let me know if anyone has any issues with it. Each person gets around 48 hours to complete their task but obviously some take a little more or less. Last time, it took about a week and a half to complete so I'd say this'll be similar.

And after some very serious thinking and lots of frowning, I am done.


My description includes a phrase that I assume has never been written before, and which likely makes sense only to me and will lead to much confusion for the next painter. Sorry....

Aww thanks Aaron, ‘‘twas fun!
Bolgbui definitely set a challenge with her description!

Deja Boo

Halfway done and sketchpad has frozen me out... I don't dare clean cookies, else it will all be lost.
Will keep trying and send this in via pm, as soon as I can get it done. (sorry)

Deja Boo

It's gone, will have to re-do it, sorry!

s1ippy

I'm so excited!

Deja Boo

Sketchpad has become impossible, what other apps does anyone use to paint?

s1ippy

Autodesk sketchbook is good on Android. Photoeditor (blue icon app in play store) also has drawing function but you'll need to figure it out a bit more than the other one.

A very basic one is this:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.iskander.drawforkids
Doodle
