Socially Distant MS Paint - The Reveal

    From deep in the depths of quarantine, one (overly long and complicated) question kept repeating...

    "Could lock down be made more fun by unleashing the truly creative painting and describing skills of certain Boardsies?"

    Tonight, we discover the answer to this and other questions such as:

    "Is MS Paint really a limited medium?"

    or

    "Could Shakespeare himself have done better with such a word limit?"

    and

    "OMG how the hell will they describe this??" :D

    Join me tonight around 8.30ish as I reveal the talents of a uniquely gifted bunch of Boarsdies.

    Ecto - are you copy and pasting the imgr post link or the image link within the tags? Posts don't generally show, but images should.

    I think you’ll all agree that bolgbui41 did an excellent job in their first MS Paint adventure with the following description:
    music festival, stage (right), three inflatable tentacles, woman walking dog

    Pretzill’s creation stirred twirlagig to make her debut description this:

    Concert stage, parachutist, palm trees with eyes, crowd, dog walking.

    Edit: I'll confess, I'm particularly fond of the palm trees with eyes :D

    Next up to the plate was Mam of 4. Everyone knows Mam for a true connoisseur, so it is unsurprising to find such descriptive nuance as this:

    Airplane, parachutist , two coconut trees, seven people, dog, singer, stage .
