I promised I'd run a paint game back at the end of Feb, so now that RL is out of the way ;) I'm striking while the iron is hot - I have shamelessly stolen lots of Ecto's last OP :o What is Paint? It is a chain game. You sign up to either describe or paint or if you don't mind which you do. Your host (me) chooses an image…

What is Paint?

It is a chain game. You sign up to either describe or paint or if you don't mind which you do. Your host (me) chooses an image and sends it to the first describer in the chain. They then PM a 10 word description of the image to me.
I send that description to the first painter in the chain. They use that description to paint a masterpiece (using MS Paint or similar). When they have completed their painting, they send me a link to their image which I then pass on down the chain to the next describer.

It's hilarious fun - see here Easter(ish) Paint Reveal

Sign up on below and say if you prefer to describe or to paint. Nothing more to do until I send you a description or image via PM to inspire your poetry or art!

I'll put a link to free image hosting for the painters, if needed, when we have a chain ready

Probably aim to start the art in mid May if we have enough links...

Well I was setting up a spreadsheet to score some 90s europop (that and getting stabbed by a Pfizer needle are my only Tuesday plans), might as well open a paint chain tab now too so I don't mess up the requests

HeyV isn't allowed to do anything BUT paint, going by their last (first?) effort!!!

I've done first, and middle, describer, so last-ish or towards the end would be nice - but anywhere will do!

We welcome all participants, even if they might be somewhat slow painters... you just need to prepare for gif slagging if you are slow... :pac:

Well we have 18 already! Woohoo

If we got to maybe 28 we could brave trying with two chains of 7 links, more would be better or they might be too short... Tell a friend
