Thanks, Ecto, for running this - a first one for a few of us, and I'll def be back for more!


I suspect the most fun is to be had as the runner, watching this thing take on a life of its own - maybe some day.......

Thanks Ecto! Great craic as always. :)

Purple Mountain

Thank you Ecto for organising this- A1.

I think we might have an arsonist or two amongst us though, lads

SlowBlowin

Fantastic job everyone, talent everywhere, so much fun.

I might be brave enough to have a go one day.

You definitely should.

Also Starring LeVar Burton

Excellent Descriptions and Drawings. Well done everyone.

Cheers for running Ecto, was a great one for my first one!!!

Ectoplasm

Genuine thanks to all who participated. Some amazing artwork and genius descriptions in there. Will run another one soon enough, so do sign up.

In the meantime, I will be more than happy to lower the standards of painting should anyone else be running one soon too.

Taiga

Outstanding work by all! Mad to see the little nuggets of brilliance/utter madness brought forth from both describers and painters.

Well done everyone on their wonderful paintings and descriptions,

Many thanks to Ecto for hosting.

Thanks Ectoplasm, and thanks all for the lovely atmosphere and laughs in here, good fun!

Ted_YNWA

Great game Ecto.

Some fantastic painters here. I had thought I joining that side before this game., but no chance going by the quality.

Just after catching up here.

Reberetta

Grazie Ecto, credit to all.

I missed the reveal again, just caught up on everything now. Some amazing art, I loved ari's picture, and the return of a random dingus to MSPaint from Taiga!


...When's the next one?

Purple Mountain

What I found interesting, aside from the Rembrandt like art pieces, is that some of us call them ladybirds and others say ladybugs.

It was always "ladybird" for me growing up. "Ladybug" sounds very American to me.

Although the Irish word is better than either; Bóín Dé - God's Little Cow. :pac:

EEFGGFEDCCDEED

Now I'm not going to say that Sephiroth_dude had a political agenda but their description veered into new territory. Literally. As Seph went with:

Cork rebels Kidnap Fungi, Cork dictator scobbydoo bombs dissident dingle

Ectoplasm wrote: »

Our final describer of the night is EEFGGFEDCCDEED and I think we can all agree that they did justice to Neowise's artistry with:

Burning of Dingle by Scooby-Doo, Cork hurlers rescue preeminent resident

Political agenda defeated. The gallant Cork hurlers rescuing the injured Fungi were the real heroes of this piece

aaronjennings

Only fully caught up now, fantastic job everyone, and thanks for the game, Ecto

Brilliant as well to see more and more hand-drawn pictures, I've been tempted to do something similar for a while, but tbh the limits of MS Paint are more in-line with the limits of my abilities :P

I wonder was the original painting a nod to the Irish name with the ladybirds on the bull's back..
I'm probably over thinking it!

Funnily enough there are other languages, totally unrelated to Irish, with a similar name for them.

Ladybirds are also "God's cow" in Russian, while they're "Moses's Cow" in Hebrew. And although not the official French word, they're also a "cow of God" in old-fashioned/colloquial French.

In German they're "Mary's Beetle", keeping up the religious connection. And in Portuguese they're "little Joanne", for some reason!

I like to revert back to my previous post in the sign up thread.

WHAT THE ACTUAL FÙCK!

Looking back on all the pictures now, I thi I this reaction was actually subdued. Trigger, I have to say, your description to me, even though I was WTF, was brilliant.

Trigger wanted to be sure that I included the quotation marks when I sent on his impressionistic description. So I did:

"Scooby dooby don't fart from heaven, earth will stink"



And just for clarity Trigs, I'm the good one, you're the nemesis.

Just catching up now but

why is Scooby do in heaven

Well, when we were sending him to a farm to live with his friends, we meant Jesus' farm. You just assumed it was in Mexico...
