so this is spam now im going to delete this thread

Pigbuster wins again though! :p

Indeed, that's a pretty fantastic 5-second effort.

Edit: Balls to it, I don't care how many rules the thread violates, I think it's some pretty good, harmless fun. Here are my first two attempts.

Does anyone feel like creating a "Draw a worm in more than 1 minute" thread? :p

How about 'draw one worm in over 2 hours and put in as much details as you can!"

Alright, no-art-in-first-post noted, but thread staying open because it has some pretty good contributions already. Personally, I'm not going to bother about the under-one-minute thing; as long as the forum doesn't fill up with stupid "look at my 30-second fanart" threads I don't see it as a problem. But can we all lay off the backseat moderation please? It makes life much more difficult for mods.

I cheated and spent 6 seconds on a few too have time to draw both eyes..

Couldn't be bothered to get my tablet out, so witness teh terrible 5-sec mouse drawings (sorry, it was the forum that turned them into JPEGs, with the resizing "feature" *cough*bug*cough*):

resizing "feature" *cough*bug*cough*):*cough* *hack* Tip: *sputter* Defeating this bug *wheeze* is as simple as *hork* creating your images within the defined limits. *wretch* Failing that, you could *bloodspit* host them elsewhere. *explode*

Meh. It was five seconds, so I couldn't be bothered to check the limit (I rarely attach images because my art is so atrocious), and I just typed 500. Anyway, what a stupid limit! Why not make it the much-rounder 500?

Anyway, what a stupid limit! Why not make it the much-rounder 500?Well... Okay, you might have a point there. :p

Wouldn't divide by three if they did that.

Why that's a problem, I don't know, but it's the best I can give you. Factorises well, 468. Again, I'm not sure that's such great news.

I don't think your image would have been that great at full size and uncompressed, though, would it?

468 is fairly awesome: 2² x 3² x 13. Admittedly 13 is a bit of an odd factor for it to have.

But still: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 13, 18, 26, 39, 52, 78, 117, 156, 234, 468. That's a lovely long list of factors.

My guess is that back when it was the the fixed-width forum style they probably chose that to make it as big as it could be to not break the tables. And I guess even though it's fluid now they just haven't bothered making it bigger, or they want to accomodate to people with smaller screen resolutions so people like me at 1400*1050 don't ruin it for the people on 800*600.

Just a guess.

It's a memory from ye old days. If you load up Retro Purple Fixed, you'll notice 468 is as wide as an attachment can get in there without stretching the table. (example post (http://forum.team17.co.uk/showpost.php?p=601890&postcount=37))
Though now that we have fluid layouts and scrollable posts, things can loosen up a bit.

You lazy lot, working within restrictions is all part of art! :p.

Hey, I've always respected that limit. ;)

Well, 480 is only slightly larger, and has far more factors:

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 15, 16, 20, 24, 30, 32, 40, 48, 60, 80, 96, 120, 160, 240, 480


Also, Badly Drawn Worm with Silly Hat:

Oh, and then there's this one, whose outline is slightly less spasmic, but where my mouse spazzed out at the last moment.

Snazzy.

I don't know what on earth posessed me and made me draw this. It looks more like a number 1 than a worm. Maybe I've stumbled across something.

Actually, it looks a bit like one of those stupid cuckoo people from Zelda Twi Pri!

I blame work stress.

OH GOD IT'S WORM_BOY. :eek:

I drew the top-left first, then top right, then lower right. Finally I did lower left with my left hand in 5 seconds just for the heck of it. You can tell I'm right handed...:p

Ugh, 5 seconds is a little short.

I think I can tell with most of these entries.
