MS Paint - New and... Improved?

aaronjennings

I have a brand new art gallery, now all I need are some masterpieces to display in it

You should know the drill by now, but for any newcomers, here are the basics:

- One person describes a picture that I have chosen, in 10 words or less
- The next person paints a picture based on their description. MS Paint, collage, those crappy markers that last 10 seconds before running out, the choice is yours
- The next person describes that painting, and so on
- Hilarity ensues

Please let me know if you want to take part, and if you have a preference for painting or describing

fixXxer

Yep, in. Absolutely. Happy to be randed as either.

Neowise

I will paint if you have any free painting spots.

Gru

i'm in for Either!

Trigger

I'll describe, still don't have enough time to sit down and paint

Pretzill

I would love to describe if someone who only ever describes would paint? *Coughs* Mam...Necro...

Aceandstuff

I'd love to take part later in the game as either a painter or describer.

(I coined "parachute suicide".)

Ladies and gentlemen, get your virtual paintbrushes at the ready

We have 5.5 links ready to go, so let's get things started

I'll leave sign-ups open to allow for more links to be added, at the very least we'll need one more painter to finish things off

Here's the order the randomizer threw out, I'll send the starting picture on to BulieBeag shortly

Haha thanks gru!

When I paint I feel ashamed of my offering. But when I describe I genuinely feel all cocky like... I'm the greatest goddamn describer there ever was!!!!

Ooh, I'll jump in to describe if you end up with another couple of painters. I'm still mentally and emotionally scarred after failing first year art 16 years ago so don't think I can pick up the (virtual) paintbrush just yet...

Deja Boo

Well, I see we have graduated from the wine in this game :pac:

...this is pure nuts :eek:



Apologies in advance, I cannae do your brilliant descripto justice, Trigs

We currently have an over-abundance of describers vs painters, would any of our budding wordsmiths like to change disciplines and have a go at painting instead?

Or are there any silent lurkers tempted by the prospect?

No skill required - just look at some of my previous entries for proof

Deja Boo

Was just putting finishing touches on when sketchpad decided to flip out without saving... sketchpad has been seriously glitchy the last few paint games.

Will try again, sorry for the delay.

aaronjennings

No delay at all, take your time

You can't rush art :cool:

Deja Boo

...Art? :eek:

FixXxer is currently slaving away in a dark room, working on his magnum opus :pac:

Still room for more painters towards the end of the chain

SnowyMay

May God help me (and the rest of ye!), but I'll join in as a painter!

aaronjennings

FixXxer sends his apologies, as RL has eaten up his free time in the last few days. With his permission, I've moved him to second-last painter (as I may have a special guest appearance lined for the end, if we don't get enough painters in the meantime), and I've moved all of the remaining painters forwards one link

Therefore the current schedule looks like:


BuileBeag

Just managed to log on there and get the message. Busy here as well, but I should be able to turn that description into a COVID-fever dream by the end of tomorrow. Or very soon if I don't use MS Paint...

Plenty of scope for "you know what" in there.

Is “you know what” a dead paratrooper??

He's not dead yet, but he wants to be, that's the whole point. Not sure why he bothered with the parachute if that's the case but he was never right in the head.

Aceandstuff

Just sent my painting in there. Nothing is to scale. Physics is broken. The end is nigh.

I call it "Happy 2020".
