MSPaint your favourite movie Scene tournament.

Trigger · 2019-11-26 23:22:42

After the success of the previous games, a new MS paint game with a twist.. no describers. A knock-out MS Paint competition, decided by Boardies. I am asking you to MSPaint(you can use any alternative you want) your absolute favourite movie scene. From previous games it looks like the more surreal the better. You can PM me…

I am asking you to MSPaint(you can use any alternative you want) your absolute favourite movie scene. From previous games it looks like the more surreal the better.

You can PM me your entries and when I have a decent number of entries I will use an online tournament maker to pit them against each other.

RULES:
1.MSPaint is preferable for effect, but any alternative is allowed
2. Post images to imgur and forward the link to me by PM
3. Include the movie in the PM
4. The image with the most thanks after a certain time limit(TBD) progresses, no reasons needed.

An example is below(not mine)

I was going to knock up something for this, but from what I've read, folks are taking it seriously and producing masterpieces, so don't want to make a show of myself.
Are the entries anonymous? :pac:

It's all fun and games Posy, if you look at the previous MS paint games there is all different levels of talent and artistry. There is no making a show of anyone here in FG, every single picture painted/drawn has come from a posters work and time and the posters here understand that. Having fun while doing your picture is the most important thing.

But to answer your question,

The artists will only be made known at the end of the game. It will be anon up till then

All pics are (truly) great fun to see! ...no judgment whatsoever.

Like Triggs said, "From previous games it looks like the more surreal the better." ...and as Rikand said, "[MSPaint] creates some funny images because of its limitations."

It's fun to see where everyones humour takes them it's not about skill in any way.

Thanks for the entry Eeden.

I have 8 entries now and really hoping to get a few more.. there has been a few that have given their intention so hopefully they can get it into me before Sunday Evening.

If anyone that has already drawn, wishes to submit a second picture that is fine with me.

Thanks
Triggs
