MS Paint - New and... Improved? - THE REVEAL

aaronjennings

Welcome, one and all, to the grand opening of the MS Paint Art Gallery!

We have some fantastic pieces of artwork on the way from our aspiring artists, some you may have heard of, and some looking to make their first impressions on the art world. And all need to be seen to be believed

Join us at 8pm on Monday 21st for the grand reveal

I'm really, really, REALLY, looking forward to this! As first describer I can't wait to see how it all turned out!

As 4th describer, I'm prepared to bet we saw very different things!

While we wait for the reveal to kick-off properly, how about a little taster to whet your appetite?

Here is a list of five, very different movies, some of which (but not all) may or may not make an appearance throughout this reveal (I’ll link to this list instead of posting it directly, in case anyone wants to remain completely spoiler-free):

Without giving away any movie names, how many of these movies do you think you recognise from what you’ve done?

fixXxer

Oh i definitely know one of those that popped up!

IamMetaldave

I can see a link of 1 of them for sure!

Mam of 4

Wtf ?! Only one of them makes sense to me :pac:

IamMetaldave

Looking at those, I think I can figure out where another section came from.

Ok. I’ll start.

That looked NOTHING like my painting!!!

aaronjennings

Less than 10...

aaronjennings

I’m sure you’ve noticed that I’ve used an art-gallery-theme to both this reveal and to the sign-up thread. This is not without reason, because the starting picture…



…is none other than “Starry Night” by Vincent Van Gogh, one of the most iconic paintings in all of human history. But don’t worry, I’m sure nothing will happen in this thread to disgrace its legacy...

...right guys?

Deja Boo

oh my goodness!

Ectoplasm

Hahahahahahahaha

Deleted User was up first to describe, but they were given a harder job than you might think, as I did not allow them to include the name of the artist or the name of the painting in their description. With this in mind (and lots of questions), BuileBeag offered up this excellent summary:

Swirly. Crescent moon. Venus. Village scene. Church. Mountains. Close Tree.

Gru

It was a superb description!!

Hahaha wtf how did we get where we did

aaronjennings

Gru was our first painter, and complimented BuileBeag on their description, easily identifying what they were trying to get across. They did, however, also say “God help the next describer!” as they submitted their rendition of the old masterpiece:

Mam of 4

This is going to be priceless :pac:

SnowyMay

Well.. Words have all gone. How the flip..

Gru

Thanks Gru and your painting is amazing!!!!

aaronjennings

Pretzill was up next, and they were also quick to identify the core of the picture. However, they saw more than just stars in the sky, adding a second artistic masterpiece into the mix, albeit one of a more modern variety:

Van Gogh's Starry Night meets Speilberg's Close Encounters, with church

SnowyMay

Ted_YNWA wrote: »

That is Art???

FYP.

Wow, I've learned from this thread that I have never properly looked at Starry Night before because that's my first time noticing the background; I thought it was just a picture of the sky!

Gru

Delighted my painting looked enough like the original to inspire the description.

aaronjennings

Neowise had the unenviable task of combining two all-time classics in to one, but does a great job with this magnificent effort:



And I think the penny may have just dropped for a few people

Deja Boo

wow, well done people!!!! descriptions and paintings are very impressive!

Pretzill

It did Gru - excellent work very reminiscient of the Expressionist

Trigger

I think this is where I'll apologise :pac:

aaronjennings

Trigger’s immediate response to Neowise’s art was “Holy moly, excellent”, which I think is fully justified. He then submitted this description:

Ufo sucking up volcano, church under stars in the desert

Trigger

Yeah.. sorry folks:pac:

aaronjennings

Trigger wrote: »

A volcano would have made it a better movie tbf

Deja Boo

emmm, I'm with you trigs! ......sorry! I can't paint impressionism well!

aaronjennings

Deja Boo doubted whether they could do justice to Trigger’s description. I think it’s safe to say that they most certainly could, surpassing anything that most of could create on a good day, with:

Trigger

Holy shít

Mam of 4

Wow , just wow !

And that right there is the greatest thing I have EVER seen. And I stood before the starting painting!!!

Sephiroth_dude

*peeks in *

Trigger

the snake is even rattling!

Deja Boo

Van Gogh must be rolling his eyes!

aaronjennings

Electric Nitwit said “Well that's... something! :pac:” when looking at Deja Boo’s painting… “something” is what it certainly is. They then produced this summary of the picture:

Church.
Man, camel.
UFO over volcano.
Area 51 roadsign, snake.
