How to waste time

[Sage]

Trace Ozy and millie

Pixel by pixel

Using as few shades of color as possible...

[Baconsticks]

Good.


Next: Jackson Pollock:

Pollock = Pillock

This thread certainly is a waste of time.

I want to be just like Jackson Pollock! Wait, I'll have to be a smug pretentious git first. No, no I don't! I'll need the art skills of a 4-year-old child! That I can manage.

That completely blows my work away :O

I don't care what the artists and all say, I think that painting is just another result of Modernism or Post-Modernism art. It is this kind of screwed up painting that just makes me sick. To me it just looks like a crazy mess. I can't even say if it is abstracted, it is non-objective art gah!

And great work Sage, you've been letting that pixel painting lay around for a while, good thing you finished. I like it.

Speaking of modern art, this game is wicked fun. It satisfies the primordial urge to throw paint on a canvas.

All you do is move your mouse around, click to change colors.

Oh yeah, @Sage, wow. That must've taken halfway to eternity to complete.

That bears striking resemblance to something my cat threw up once.

90% of that eternity was spent procrastinating. I was surprised to get everything on Millie done minus the globe and shorts in one session. Ozy was really easy to do, but I did that... a looong time ago.

Just for fun, here's the same picture only using the base colors.

And a repost of the first picture

Tsk...Tsk...again with the procrastinating. Bad squirrelly...bad..bad...bad

Seriously though very nice trace job. I'll have to remember this piece of advice the next time I have some significant time to waste. Knowing me I'll end up procrastinating 90% of it too if not 95% Thanks for sharing.

Too busy plotting, ya know?

I had to use Photoshop for this. If you want a real challenge, do it in MS paint, hehehe.

I've actually done some artsy stuff with MS paint in the past. Turned out fairly well but it was not very fun. Think I had one of the worst eyestrain headaches of all time after that.

The most graphical thing I made in Paint was a 6-iteration fractal:
0 iterations (impressive I know)
1 iterations
2 iterations
3 appears to be missing for some reason
4 iterations
5 iterations
6 iterations
