I primarily work with Paint, and also make some music, so I thought, why not share some?

 

And when I say "work with Paint", I mean "I don't have anything but Paint".

Panit as in the Paint program or actual paint?

 

And I like the one with the blade, just something about it that feels like it has such a deep meaning

[KakeiTheWolf 652]

MS Paint.

 

Interestingly enough, the blade one DOES have a meaning.

 

The blade one is the cover pic for a fanfic of mine called Metyl Rayns, linked in my sig. In the story, the main character, Metyllisk, falls in love with Rainbow Dash as he is trying to fight a war with her. However, when he and Rainbow are kidnapped in Luna's blimp, the airship Desolation, he escapes... but Rainbow Dash doesn't. When his wings slash the fuel lines, and the boiler to the blimp bursts into flames because of the fuel leakages, Metyllisk has to helplessly watch from above as Rainbow Dash slowly burns alive in agony.

 

While he sees the blimp crash, he just snaps, and, tired of seeing nothing but pain, anguish, agony, and death of this nightmare war, he takes his combat knife and plunges it in the side of his head, in suicide. He falls to the ground, where he is later found by a mortally wounded Rainbow Dash, the lone survivor of the carnage of the blimp crash.

 

The knife is the knife Metyllisk killed himself with, buried in the ground. Hung around it is the metal locket with Rainbow's Picture black and white draft photo inside, and the locket has 347, Rainbow's service number, etched on the outside of it. The reason behind the angle of the locket is that it is blowing in the wind, as the ashen rains that for so long had been in Equestria fell for the last time. Essentially, it's a powerful way of capturing the death of a hurt, desolate pony who lost everything in war: His home, his world, the beauty of Equestria, everypony he loved, and the tipping point was where he thought Rainbow Dash, his only lover, had died. He couldn't take the pain anymore, and decided to end his life. It's the most perfect cover pic for this story, because it shows the pain of the characters and the malice of fate's cruel ways.

MS PAINT?! No no way! Impossible! ..Wow, you're gooooood!

..I can't stop staring at the first picture, lol.

[KakeiTheWolf 652]

I've been using Paint for 12 years. Haven't had anything else. I learned stuff like how to doctor photos, copy parts of photos perfectly, and do all sorts of things with colour theory.

[Mephala 2,633]

Wow...o_O

That is insane, my friend. INSANE.

And I'd like to read your fanfic as you seem quite literate!

I can't believe you did those in Paint, wow! Nice job!~

[dar tunsh 446]

Holy guacamole! And to think that most of us (including myself) have made fun of MSPaint as a art program. Seems you have proved all the NEIGHsayers wrong. Excellent job!

[KakeiTheWolf 652]

Indeed. I kept using Paint because, no matter what I do in it, it's always more impressive knowing I did it in Paint.

oh.. I was just going to ask why you don't use a better program, lol.

Paint.. wtf dude your skills are amazing..

Can you make a video or livestream when you make something in there? I'd totally watch it

 

Ahhh! Just look at my awesome drawing in MS Paint:

 

 

Haha It's impossible to draw in ms paint lol

 

 

Hey Metyllisk! The next thing I want you to draw in MS Paint is MONA LISA.

Tutorial below:

Actually, I learned years ago how to make videos using Paint. Let's just say it's extremely hard.

 

First you take an image, then you decide on the animation. Then you redraw it for every frame (About 30 for every second of footage). For one minute of footage, you must make 1800 images. For a 15 minute youtube livestream, you must make 27000 images. Oh, and you can't make mistakes.

 

Then you plug in every pic, one by one, into Windows Movie Maker.

 

At my average rate of 5 hours per drawing, and for photo recreation at fullscreen a full 10 hours, it would take me:

 

1 minute animation: 9000 (Exactly that, I'm not kidding) hours (375 days sleepless and constant work, or 625 with an average 8 hours of sleep at night. This is equivalent to 1.027397260273973 and 1.712328767123288 years respectively.)

1 minute livestream: 18000 hours (750 days sleepless and constant work, or 1250 with an average 8 hours of sleep at night. This is equivalent to 2.054794520547946 and 3.424657534246576 years respectively.)

15 minute animation: 135000 hours (5625 days sleepless and constant work, or 9375 with an average 8 hours of sleep at night. This is equivalent to 15.4109589041096 and 25.68493150684932 years respectively.)

15 minute livestream: 270000 hours (11250 days sleepless and constant work, or 18750 with an average 8 hours of sleep at night. This is equivalent to 30.82191780821919 and 51.36986301369864 years respectively.)

 

For comparison, even getting no sleep and spending every second on the project, it would take over a year to do a one minute animation. This is about 4 times the amount of time I have spent writing the 500+ pages of poems, sonnets, books, fanfics, stories, fanfics, and plays I have penned.

 

For a fifteen minute livestream, it would not only take a high speed camera, it would require over 3 times the total amount of time passed from my conception to the posting of this message, if I wanted it to be decent.

 

So no, I am never doing a livestream/animation.

O__O wow dude, I just ment if you could record while you're painting something in MS Paint haha

Also, did you watch the video and my awesome picture? lol

[KakeiTheWolf 652]

No, I didn't, sorry.

 

And no, I don't have webcam or anything, so I can't really do much. I only make stuff in Paint when I need cover stories for fanfics or am ridiculously bored and have loads of time to kill.

 

I really am trying to get a second MLP fanfic, but I'm trying to keep as interesting as the Metyl Rayns one whilst not getting, well, boring.
