Neat. The guy's other videos are worth a watch too; the Brolsma painted with chocolate and the Spurlock done with fries and ketchup were pretty sweet.
age
This guy rocks ! We were killed ... me, and my poor paint skills .
That reminds me of an old screensaver my grandmother had on her computer, and it would paint stuff like that. I used to sit and watch it when I was bored.
My sister, when I showed her this:
galadriel101 •Apr 6, 3:53am Helpful? yes / no
Horrible drag queen foreground with a minimaly developed background. Mona Lisa threw-up in her mouth a bit.
Art History majors...
I saw another video where some guy draws Porsche GT3, it look cool too. Enjoy.
Wow, that guy is good. I have a friend who does all his stuff in MS Paint. Most of it does not look too bad. I haven't seen anything of this quality produced using paint though.
I saw it two weeks ago. I thought it was old, so I didn't make a post about it.
Don't you know the rule, Rampage?
Nothing is old until it is posted here, at which time it has existed for what may as well be years and has, quite obviously, been seen by every sentient being ever to walk the planet, including the dead and electronically impaired.
All the "Draw [thing] in MS Paint" stuff is old, but it's always entertaining for some reason.
Having very limited drawing ability I'm very impressed by it. Then again, as I watched the majority of the Porche video (skipped through most of the Mona Lisa) at the end I thought...
"However long this took (obviously a ton more than 7 minutes) at the end all you have is a static picture of a Porche... A digital camera can do it in seconds."
At least if he took the time to model and texture 3D objects he could have programmers bring them to life afterward.
For me, high quality computer generated images such as those used in Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children are far more beautiful than any painting I've seen.

Ditto
I wouldn't be surprised if he took a scanned photo of Mona Lisa and made a proglet to "unpaint" it (with some hand editing) and play the frames in reverse.
I wouldn't be surprised if ...
I would be.

Or maybe you're just a final fantasy fanboy. I base this guess on the 11-line sig you have going there.
Anybody else have zero respect for anyone that uses the term fanboy ever?
It's not just Final Fantasy, however, Square Enix does seem to do it better than the rest. I even prefer PlayStation graphics, like Metal Gear Solid, to anything painted.
I do appreciate airbrushing cars and tattooing though. Those can be done well enough to meet my approval.
Anybody else have zero respect for anyone that uses the term fanboy ever?
Only fanboys do.
There is a lot of merit to digital animation, I say as I sit in my Modelling and Animation class. You can do things in it that are impossible in any other medium, and the wide variety of styles exceeds traditional art forms, I think.
@gnolam:
As for bamccaig being a fanboy... I see it, too. But, whatever, if he likes FF a lot, that's fine. You seem to like being cynical a lot. Perhaps we should call you a cynicboy?
What are you, the defender of fanboys? "Oh, someone is picking on us fanboys, what will we do?" "Call Kibiz0r, he'll save us!"
Anybody else have zero respect for anyone that uses the term fanboy ever?
I have zero respect for people who call me American. That's okay though, because I have a zero tolerance policy, so it's tolerable.
You seem to like being cynical a lot. Perhaps we should call you a cynicboy?
I'm not cynical. I just don't follow the crowd. There seem to be a lot of cynical people on Allegro.cc that don't like that about me.
I think for myself and apparently on Allegro.cc that's frowned upon.
What are you, the defender of fanboys? "Oh, someone is picking on us fanboys, what will we do?" "Call Kibiz0r, he'll save us!"
And then you have the followers.
... "Call Kibiz0r, he'll save us!"
He is striving for redemption from the Allegro Gods. Treat him well, for one day he may become your savior.
Or maybe you're just a final fantasy fanboy. I base this guess on the 11-line sig you have going there.
@bamccaig: Let me try to rephrase my point above. What's so bad about being a fanboy? I'm a ff fanboy, as pointed out by a.ccers when I first got here. Yeah, I'm biased towards ff for the most part, maybe they even think less of me because of it, so what? Besides, as I quoted gnolam above, he does have a very good reason to consider you a fanboy.
I think for myself and apparently on Allegro.cc that's frowned upon.
Yeah, brand loyalty is a clear sign of free, independent thought.
When I hear a fanboy insult it sounds like the person saying it is merely offended that you disagree with them in one way or another and have no real ground to stand on to actually debate the issue with you. Hense, the childish remark.
To me, fanboy is, and always will be, a kindergarten insult. It's more degrading for the shooter than it is for the target.
Bleh, I was busy trying to keep up with the VRay tutorial (still in class!) and I missed the excitement. I should've specified that I was talking about gnolam.
I just think it's valid that he's passionate about something. Lots of people are passionate about completely pointless things, at least he finds some creative value in his.
Edit: Granted, the fanboy mentality is fundamentally flawed. I'd say the only thing I am incapable of judging objectively is XKCD, but that's because, after 245 comics, I have never been let down.
Fanboy or Fanboi is a term used to describe an individual (usually male, though the feminine version fangirl may be used for females) who is utterly devoted to a single fannish subject, or to a single point of view within that subject, often to the point where it is considered an obsession. Fanboys remain loyal to their particular obsession, disregarding any factors that differ from their point of view. Fanboys are also stereotypically aggressive and hateful towards the opposing brand or competition of their obsession regardless of its merits or achievements.
Ironic.
[edit]
I think that most allegators are fanboys of something, it comes with the whole programming thing.
I'm not cynical. I just don't follow the crowd. There seem to be a lot of cynical people on Allegro.cc that don't like that about me.

That depends. Will I have to wear my underpants on the outside?
I think that most allegators are fanboys of something, it comes with the whole programming thing.
Eh, I don't know. Fanboyism, to me, reads as complacency, and I've never been comfortable with being complacent, if that makes any sense.
If I'd had the time, I would've already learned a bevy of algorithms, techniques, and programming/scripting languages this year, but they're being saved for the summer, when I have time.
Edit: We've totally derailed the topic.
Will I have to wear my underpants on the outside?
Nope, that's Cynicman.
Way to kill a thread
Derailing threads is a heritage art form in the allegro.cc forums.

Are there any graphic competitions on Allegro.cc? I'm no artist, but I would love to see the contributions.

Join the Pantsman revolution and wear them on your head.

@original topic:
Nice. Too bad it's so low res that it's impossible to see any details. Also, it's too fast to notice how some of the refining steps are accomplished.
@fanboy topic:
Every fool is different.
Besides, questioning any sense or point in human existence, in fact, questioning "existence outside your own mind" as a whole, it appears as if it is only of minor importance how people waste their time.
For some it's art, for others it's religion, science, politics, video games, programming, music, girls, sports, history... this list does not claim to be complete.;D
(btw, The listed items of interest above are each on their own well suited as topics to build flamewars around.)
LennyLen, I like your painting. In my folder with most promising unstarted projects I have an RPG engine, which will include a simple 1 bit b/w graphic editor, a chip music editor and an editor for the story itself. Looking at your art, I might extend the graphics to 4 bit or even 8 bit. Yet, looking at these I mightn't:

these are the most entertaining posts I've read since the one about SSC shooting at his niece.
lolololol @ the bamccaig kid.
Bamccaig has been Manjulated
LennyLen, I like your painting.
Wow! That's a first.
Your images on the other hand, ARE good. They remind me of some of the games we used to play while we were in computer science class in high school on the Mac Classics we had back then.
Hey guys, I really like Shakespeare's work. It's great. But apparently I can't bring up his work in any discussion about poetry, because then I'll get called a fanboy!
Seriously. He likes digital animation as a medium. What is wrong with that?
You and your analogies. It's very cute.
Just saying, if it was a more well-established medium, you would take him more seriously. :-\
Shakespeare is overrated anyway.
Shakespeare is overrated anyway.
He has a cool name though.
true said homeboy
Shakespeare, in his day, was more like television in this day. But he was kind of like intelligent television, like an olde Englishe West Wing. So you gotta admire that he was able to interject some thought into entertainment aimed at the common denominator.
hmmm.... Ye Olde Weste Winge... I wonder if NBC would run it?
Shakespeare, in his day, was more like television in this day. But he was kind of like intelligent television, like an olde Englishe West Wing.
Except that just about everyone in this day knows what televisin is, and only a few pwople in his time knew who he was.
That doesn't really have anything to do with what I said, but okay. All I was saying is that he was a writer for the common people, like television is today.
SSC shooting at his niece.
When did this happen?
It's perfectly acceptable for him to state he prefers a particular artistic medium.
I just don't follow the crowd. There seem to be a lot of cynical people on Allegro.cc that don't like that about me.
I think for myself and apparently on Allegro.cc that's frowned upon.
That last dig at pretty much everyone here, on the other hand, isn't acceptable. I did get a laugh out of how much of a free spirit he considers himself. With his Final Fantasy avatar and signature... yes, he's really innovating the Internet.
As far as the YouTube video is concerned, there's another video stating that it's a clever fake. If it's genuine, then it's incredible.
That last dig at pretty much everyone here, on the other hand, isn't acceptable. I did get a laugh out of how much of a free spirit he considers himself. With his Final Fantasy avatar and signature... yes, he's really innovating the Internet.
Okay, I'll definitely agree with that.
That last dig at pretty much everyone here, on the other hand, isn't acceptable.
It wasn't aimed at everybody here. It was aimed at those that have been cynical the past few weeks while I have been active on Allegro.cc. And when they start beef with me there is rarely anybody else that chimes in to oppose them so it's me against Allegro. It doesn't look like I asked for a fight in those threads so I don't know what the beef is about.
I did get a laugh out of how much of a free spirit he considers himself. With his Final Fantasy avatar and signature... yes, he's really innovating the Internet.
I said I think for myself. That has nothing to do with innovating the Internet. And my avatar and signature have nothing to do with it either. I have them because I like Final Fantasy VII. When looking for something to post that expresses me in one way or another I felt those were the best to use.
Just because somebody is a free thinker doesn't mean they do everything their own way. It just means they don't follow the crowd just to be part of the crowd. Rather, they make their own decisions.

Yeah, intelligent people tend to be assholes. Just ignore them.
Edit: That's not exactly what I wanted to say, but it's kinda close. If only I were a poet. Anyways, yeah some people on a.cc are not so nice, others are. You take the good with the bad. Don't let it put you off from the site as a whole.
It just means they don't follow the crowd just to be part of the crowd.
So you are not part of the crowd that adores Final Fantasy?
Yeah, intelligent people tend to be assholes.
Then how do you explain him:
It just means they don't follow the crowd just to be part of the crowd.
So you are not part of the crowd that adores Final Fantasy?
Yes, I'm a fan of Final Fantasy. But I'm not a fan just to be one of the fans; I'm a fan because I love Final Fantasy. I like it based on my experiences with it.
Yes, I'm a fan of Final Fantasy. But I'm not a fan just to be one of the fans; I'm a fan because I love Final Fantasy. I like it based on my experiences with it.
Then there are two kinds of FF fans: those who like it and those who don't like it, but are fans anyway because they like to be part of the crowd, is that right?

That's true for everything. Try observing society. Pop music is popular for a reason and it's usually not because of quality.
Hahaha... popular music is a great example...
My first exposure to pop music in the wild.
"Huh? This music sucks, why are they playi --"
girl walks by
"oh, I get it now"
That's true for everything. Try observing society. Pop music is popular for a reason and it's usually not because of quality.
But you end up with the same crowd, regardless of the reason: there are a lot of FF fans, and they all like the same things and know the same things. I'm sure many other FF fans will use FF avatars and FF signatures. So, what's the difference between two FF fans? Where's the thinking-for-myself thing?

Having one thing in common doesn't make you a clone. Other FF fans will have other skills and knowledge that I don't have; and I have skills and knowledge that they don't have.
It again comes down to the gray area: this, like most other things, is not black and white. You don't just have FF fans and not FF fans. You have FF fans of varying degree; some are fan enough to use FF media to represent them and some just enjoy it. Others go to conventions and role play on the lawn...
What do you think the odds are of somebody using that exact avatar and/or signature? It's not impossible, but it's also not probable; especially on A.cc.
Liking something doesn't have to define who you are. I like a lot of things that wouldn't be stereotypical of FF fans.

But
And my avatar and signature have nothing to do with it either. I have them because I like Final Fantasy VII. When looking for something to post that expresses me in one way or another I felt those were the best to use.
I'm confused, does FF define you or not?
[edit]
You don't just have FF fans and not FF fans.
Yes, you do. And you can have hardcore FF fans and softcore FF fans, but they're FF fans nonetheless.
I'm confused, does FF define you or not?
blnRampageHasPoint = ("express" == "define");
Yes, you do. And you can have hardcore FF fans and softcore FF fans, but they're FF fans nonetheless.
Allow me to reword: one FF fan does not necessarily equal another FF fan.
Guys guys guys, He likes Final Fantasy. Big deal. Millions of people do. I like Final Fantasy, I'm sure other people here do too. I don't invest as much time in FF as Bamccaig seems to, but I enjoyed the games when I played them.
I wouldn't consider him a fan boy simply because he does not obsess over it. I rarely hear him talking about Final Fantasy when the conversation strays to video games. (Usually he talks about Driver or Grand Theft Auto). Or more recently, counter-strike.
He has his own opinions on things. We all do.
You said it a lot better than I did, but you didn't use Shakespeare. So, you lose.
He has his own opinions on things. We all do.
But his suck!
Hmm, constructive input to a thread. I'm good at this
Bah. If you're going to fail at giving input, you ought to fail spectacularly.
You sacrified thing can not speak.
Ops, can anyone tell me what was happening except arguing about fanoboymanship? I skipped last few posts. Oh besides how this exactly went off? I mean we were talking paint skills and then all of a sudden...
Bamccaig went and said that (to him) the CGI in Final Fantasy VII Advent children was more beautiful than any painting made in the last few thousand years or so.
Dustin and Arthur had a nice (brief) convo about whether the Mona Lisa paint thing was legit, and then Gnolam accused Bamccaig of being a fan boy. Bamccaig tried to defend himself by confusing everyone as to what he really means. I came in and saved everyone from total annihilation.
And thats what you missed OICW
God damn geeks..
OICW: You also missed me turning into a Shakespeare fanboy. I switched my avatar over to a pic of him and my sig to a bunch of Shakespare quotes. I enjoy satire.
Of course, everyone missed the real point, which was berating the fanboy for his 11-line signature.
You must be bored to take the time to count the number of line of someone's sig , Gnolam ;-)
Samuel: thanks, I see that I haven't missed anything important
Kibiz0r: I think I saw that thing. I like satire too

I do too. But only when it's humorous. Sorry.
A Final Fantasy fanboy, with a 11-line signature? In my allegro.cc!?
everyone missed the real point, which was berating the fanboy for his 11-line signature.
Besides, as I quoted gnolam above, he does have a very good reason to consider you a fanboy.
Yeah, but you never said what the reason was. Nyah Nyah.
Well, I believe there was only one reason in the line I quoted.

Cézanne painted many pictures of bathers, an entire series to be precise. The series is known as the Bathers series, however there is no one paining by Cézanne entitled The Bathers.
