Well, I'm not much of an artist (yet at least) and I wanted to convey the moment without spoiling it, so here it is. It's not much...



...but I think it works.

[KeeSomething]

Some really amazing works, guys! I'll leave mine...

I... I love you.

Really, I love it! Great job. In fact, a lot of you guys in this thread are amazing! I'm currently working on a piece myself. I'll add it here when I'm done.

[wmat]

does paint even have transparency or multiple layers?

No, but the NVidia driver I have installed has a transparency feature. Very handy.

[Botolf]

[Torquill]

does paint even have transparency or multiple layers?

No, that's kinda part of the point.

[1stStrike]

This is late and not 08 and I'm terrible at drawing (especially with a mouse in paint) but this scene really got me (and still does whenever I watch it).

[sprocket]

does paint even have transparency or multiple layers?

you do not need layers to trace a pic. just paste it and draw over it.

So the unapproved member Paulathon contacted me via YouTube; he wants to show you his pics, but can't post yet. I'll link them here so that you can look at his stuff!

GAF mods, approve this man!







Paulathon, ladies and gentlemen.

I can see this one getting some use

What is this from?

[Darkpen]

This is not a beautiful piece of art, I know, but I think it serves a crude testament to one of the greatest, most powerful moments in all of gaming:

wow, that's very artsy, I would so frame that

[KeeSomething]

It took me a few hours, but I finally finished my favorite video game moment on MS Paint. All done with mouse... Yikes!

Holy fucking shit.

You son of a bitch!
Now I have to start a new Yoshi's Island file :P

[I Push Fat Kids]

I haven't had time to really put the time/effort into one yet (Persona 4 is to blame) - but here is one I did last year lulz

[I Push Fat Kids]

And another

[SovanJedi]

That's awesome KeeSomething! I love those big fellahs (whatever they're called... Nep-E-Nuts?)

[CTLance]

Keep 'em coming guys. Awesome pics all around.

That's awesome KeeSomething! I love those big fellahs (whatever they're called... Nep-E-Nuts?)

I'm not helping, but we always referred to that guy as Waigel, or Theodor. Fun was had by all.
Just look at those bushy eyebrows. The resemblance ... it's uncanny.

...yeah, it was a lot more funny when I was young. Guess you had to be there. And be young. And easily amused. And stuff.

Anyway, my first encounter with "Waigel" ended thusly: Mario in his bubble to the right side, Yoshi on the left, and ... well, Kamek was happy that one time.

(Just to bring the level of art back down to a sane level again. You Mouse-wielding, Paint-dominating freaks of nature spoil the fun for us plebs! ;) )

[chandoog]

Another great moment of 2008.

*man tears*

awesome

[Mohonky]

Its funny to see that people are using the most basic of image programs and yet some of the result, from a stylistic point of view, are absolutely stunning.

[yeb]

The bushes in the background look like clouds. The clouds look like bushes. Oh god, why'd you have to remind me of that?

because you're amazing

[Llyranor]

I can't actually draw, especially not with a lousy laptop touchpad.

[KeeSomething]

Wow, thanks, guys! I didn't expect so much postive feedback. I'm inspired to do anyother MS Paint video game moment (but I'll do that later)!

I love those big fellahs (whatever they're called... Nep-E-Nuts?)

Yup, they're called Nep-Enuts. When I was 4, those things used to scare me to the point where I'd have to run upstairs (my SNES was in the basement) and get my mom or someone to stand there while I played through that part.

The bushes in the background look like clouds. The clouds look like bushes. Oh god, why'd you have to remind me of that?

Good ol' Super Mario Bros.

[Arthrus]

In about 20min:


Such fond memories. Thinking I'd gotten the start only to meet these guys

[NekoFever]

That was pretty much my reaction. Wow.

Some of the stuff here is incredible. An equal number need to know how to compress an image, though - it's like looking at screenshots on IGN.

Anyway, this is a project that never really got off the ground a couple of summers ago when I was interested in isometric pixel art and had the idea of doing my favourite environments from games. This was as far as I got, but every element of the structure is exact to the screenshots that I have:



I'm tempted to try to at least finish that part off.

[McBacon]

I love isometric pixel art.

Is that Ryo Hazuki's house?

[KeeSomething]

Super Mario RPG.

Love it! Love it!

Here you go CTLance:

You have skill, by friend. You should start a career by MSPaint-ifying video game scenes.

By the way, I was listening to the Forest Temple theme (Ocarina of Time).... Will you please do a scene from the Forest Temple?

[Wark]

Awesome work man! What game is this supposed to be? Shenmue?

I'm trying to get better at pixel art myself, but I can't get anything to look right.

[Sword Familiar]

So... your favorite moment was looking at the cover? Looks good, but...

H**LY SH*T :O You did that with a mouse in paint? OMG that is amazing. You sir are an artist.
Edit: Can you make that background size?

[Earthpainting]

[Creamium]

^by the gods

[AyuFanatic86]

Forest temple picture

OH MY GOD

Awsome, sooo awsome.
Now make one of the final showdown, monster-Ganon vs. Link at the top of the destroyed castle, and threadend.

[Saren is Bad]

what the fuck, how can people be so genius on this board


/praise

Yep.



My one there was actually done in Photoshop, but I only used the paintbrush tool set to 1x1 and did it pixel by pixel, so it's nothing that can't be done in Paint. There's also a great Mac app called Pixen, which is all about pixel art.

Holy fucking crap in sticks O_O

[KeeSomething]

Uh-oh! You exposed me. No, I just needed a reference to look at because I suck on Paint (well, I did; now I see it's not that hard as long as you have a lot of patients).

H**LY SH*T :O You did that with a mouse in paint? OMG that is amazing. You sir are an artist. Edit: Can you make that background size?

Thanks.
This is the best I could do for the background:

I....

Thank you. *tears up*

[1stStrike]

*hangs head in shame* I used to practice drawing with my friend...we did all the same exercises. He went on to become a graphic artist and I failed miserably at everything I did in art. Go figure :P

[KeeSomething]

This one didn't take nearly as long to finish as my last, but I still like the way it turned out. Climbing Tal Tal Heights is still one of the most epic moments of any game ever.

Now THAT I can endorse. Keep up the good work. ;)

Thank you.

It's funny how an 8-bit Gameboy game has left such a strong impact on me. It's not even nostalgia because I frequently go back to LA, and everytime I climb that mountain range and hear that song, I get a sense of adventure unlike any other game. The essense of Zelda can be found on that mountain, I tell you! I kid you not.

Absolutely. TalTal Heights is probably my favorite Zelda tune.

[Adam Prime]

Hahaha pretty good! spoilarZ

[Uremifasolasiututut]

A sequel of sorts to the last picture I submitted. Gets me everytime... *sniff* Deserves a bump. What is this from? The color palette is beautiful.

Uh, sorry, I didn't see this until now.

The scene is from Vagrant Story, done entirely with the spray paint, bucket and pencil tools.

Amazing game.

[KeeSomething]

^Wow, Uremifasolasiututut. You're name is too long, and I don't get it at all.

But! You're paint skills are mad! Can you please do another one in the same spraypaint style?
