This is the paint competition 2008! For this competition, just draw some worms, or a worm, in paint! most of you should know this, though.

If you want to see some examples, look at the MS Paint competition thread of 2005 (http://forum.team17.co.uk/showthread.php?t=21928&page=1&pp=30)


The competition will end on April 26th. If you feel that that is stupid, then, just tell me!

Then, i will create the voting thread, and you'll chose the winner.

The poll will end on the 3rd of May.

its simple. Draw a worm, or worms!

When it's the deadline, i will create the voting thread.

so..... get ready to paint!

well you're the last person who I'd figured would post this thread, but that doesn't stop me from joining in :p

hopefully others are interesting as well.

Can I use my FAOTM entry?

Can I use my FAOTM entry?what's the fun in that? make something new

Here is my drawing...And if it is bad, I am not using the excuse that I "only" had MS Paint. My excuse will be that I don't have very much time to spare at the moment to spend on a drawing.

I'm afraid there is no way to know if someone didn't use MS Paint.

I think it's safe to say that SgtFusion certainly did.

it looks like he's used paint on his.

shadowman, you can if you want, but it would be better if you did something new.

I'm aware I suck at drawing, but I did this pic some time ago. And I said to myself: "you're never doing anything better"

So why not recycle it?

it's taken out of context, but it was on the Forum News thread.

I was inspired to do something in paint but I was able do delete it from my pc and now I can't install it back
Well... f*ck it

A challenger appears!

- Paint Worm -

This is your classic worm from the Worms series! But what are those edgy edges? Oh! It's PAINT WORM! It's 2D appearance will blow your face off.

Everything is done in paint. I used a neat trick on that background instead of drawing lines, but it still took some time, i drew it with a mouse and now my hand hurts.

So far, that picture is definitely the win.

Its so nicely created, the dynamite effect is awesome, and the eyes look good.

What an awesome entry.

Wow, you've got some serious talent there. That looks rad.

The only things that bug me are the lines on the frontal hand - they look a little rough. There's a little bit of that on the face too, but don't worry that much; it's a wonderful picture. :D

Thanks a lot! I also see some errors on the index finger, it doesn't completely hold the dynamite. FIXING.

Edit: Fixed Some stuff now. Final entry.

I'll be frank with ya, I'm very suspicious that it's been done in MSpaint. Because it doesn't support layers,
1: It means that the backround would've had to have been done first.
2: There'd have to be no underdrawing that goes outside the worm itself.
3: The black edge would've had to have been drawn over the pic, and it certainly doesn't look like that was done in MSpaint. If it was, it would've required a ridiculous amount of tiny lines for what could just as easily be done with long lines.

I don't understand number 2, but do 1 and 3 help prove it wasn't done with MSPaint. I mean, "the background would've had to have been done first", yeah, so?

That's fastidiousness for ya.
It quite evidently is done in paint.

Well in my opinion anyway.

I mean, "the background would've had to have been done first", yeah, so?
I'm just saying that it would require a lot of effort for a backround like that when you're not even sure how much effort that you do want to put into the pic.

Actually, scratch that list anyway. I completely forgot about the copy-paste feature.

He drawed those lines using the line tool in MS paint.

It was definitely done in MS paint, i can perfectly tell. There's squiggly lines, and the colours match the ones in MS paint.

I don't know how he could have done the cool background though.

and the colours match the ones in MS paint.
MSpaint is capable of using ALL 16,777,216 colours that computers use!

Listen 'ere Plasma.

First, i drew the whole Lineart of the worm, together with the frame. Then, i filled in one color of the worm, the hand and the dynamite and pasted it over the background. i then added shading and details. ANY QUESTIONS? :rolleyes:

Let me tell you the trick to the gradient-y background though.

First, you make a lot of scribbly lines. just scribble all the dang picture. Then, choose resizing tool and compress it to 1% horizontically, until it's one pixel wide. Then, resize that 1 pixel wide line 500% until it's a good size, and then it's a gradient. Easy! I think i'll make a progress picture to show how it's done.

Great work there Jet
Kirby send you two thumbs up d('-'d)

Ah, so that's how you did the backround.

Pity that lecture came three posts too late though.

I'm afraid there is no way to know if someone didn't use MS Paint.

It depends on people being honest. Sometimes it works.

Besides, if it's obvious that somebody hasn't used paint, then we just simply shun them for the rest of their lives.

100 hours in MSPaint.

I don't know if it counts. I just wanted to do something different. I had to look up a bunch of articles on how to do ASCII properly. I went to a website that had a crapload of guides on ASCII symbols and using them properly to get a good image. My first drafts weren't that good...
http://img523.imageshack.us/img523/5246/olddraftjp1.png

But that's before I learned how to, and which symbols to use. I tried using one symbol, "w," to do the entire worm and that didn't work out well. I tried to stay away from making it look messy and ugly by adding random letters, but it was pretty inevitable after trying to do the damn eyes. The hardest part was doing the curves on the worm, and god knows they have lots of curves.

That's actually pretty good ASCII art. How long did that take you?!

I'm just saying that it would require a lot of effort for a backround like that when you're not even sure how much effort that you do want to put into the pic.

Actually, scratch that list anyway. I completely forgot about the copy-paste feature.it's really not that hard to do layers in MS Paint. you just need multiple windows open. you can set what color to make transparent rather easily and just copy/paste all the different elements together. I used that technique on nearly all my MS Paint entries.

what you're looking for for proof of MSPaint usage is the scratchy lines and absolute lack of anti-aliasing. not really much else for evidence.

I'll be frank with ya, I'm very suspicious that it's been done in MSpaint. Because it doesn't support layers,
1: It means that the backround would've had to have been done first.

You can work with layers in paint. You just need to have each layer in a separate file, or in a separate area of the drawing.

nice picture faraz, and yes you can do it in asci, as long as you use paint.

Here's my entry.

Another great entry. Well done!

So far, i'd say that TeDdyworRm and .Jet's entrys are the best so far.

Final edit on worm. Seriously.

What exactly did you edit in your picture? i don't notice anything different.

What exactly did you edit in your picture? i don't notice anything different.

A bit thinner dynamite, better shading on eyebrows, real perspective on dynamite etc. Also, glow from the dynamites flame onto it's face.

It's the small things that matter. :cool:

Well I can't really do an "MS Paint relapse" comic this time round, as I've gone back to doing most of my Worms stuff in Paint anyway.

So here's this EXTREEEEEME close-up:

I'm entering. Working on piece right now.

Hoping to see an anime worm. Seriously.:)And I really can't wait to see who will win. Ahh... If GardyLoo was here, I'd be standing in awe at his artwork.

It's much like you mixed up the worm and human style of Plasma.(That I made.)

i can't wait to see who wins either.


anyway, good entries from paul power and kelster.

That's actually pretty good ASCII art. How long did that take you?!
Longer that I thought it should've. :p I was thinking maybe 30-40 minutes, but it ended up taking an hour and a half, including one or two do-overs.

nice picture faraz, and yes you can do it in asci, as long as you use paint.
Woot. It's obvious who is going to win, anyway. :p

I highly suspect that farazparsa used an ASCII art generator to convert a quick drawing of a worm.
I'm speaking of the first picture he posted of course.

No way that you did that manually. With Paint's simple text tool.
All the characters are perfectly aligned.
And please explain me your selection of characters and symbols, when you wanted to just use W's... :rolleyes:

Hurray for having a tablet and good sketching skills!
Although, considering you made it just for one Paint competition, I do wish you'd put that much effort into the christmas present that you've been workind on for the last three months...

...and made it a bloodthirsty vampire too, just to be on the safe side.

that is REALLY horribly sloppy. it's not bad at all in general the the thumbnail looks fairly good, but the full view is ridiculously sloppy. not BAD, just sloppy.

Fully intended. c:

the vampire anime worm is quite hard to see.... there's scribbles everywhere!

In my opinion, i really don't think Anime eyes fit worms, they just don't. It looks bad. But since i actually like this kind of sketchy sloppyscribbles, i guess i'll vote for it, if nothing else comes up.

Also, doesn't it have kind of a high forehead there?

Seconded.
And if not, at least what font and size did you use Faraz?
It wasn't really that hard. I mean, yeah, it was difficult to a degree, but it really isn't as hard as it looks. I used Bookman Old Style size 10 for most of it, but I did switch to Arial size 8 a couple of times.

Digging through Google, i found this txt file with a bunch of commonly used ASCII symbols. There wasn't much to it to post, but it gave me an idea. I searched ASCII and looked for what I thought were the best examples. Then I studied the symbols and characters used and cross-examined them with the .txt file. This took roughly 15 minutes to do, and after that, I had a pretty good idea of what I wanted my worm to look like. The first draft was done without this, by the way. I quickly sketched something on paper that was roughly what my worm was going to look like. Then, I proceeded to transform it to ASCII.

The secret or trick that I used was doing it in layers. I would lay the basic outline down in "s","d", and "h"s. This was the hardest part and took me over 45 minutes to do. Once I was sort-of satisfied with it, I went over it with the other letters and most importantly, "/" and "-". These were my secret weapons. :p They give the worm it's definition or shape. And I did this layering thing 3 (4 if you count some early sketches) times over until I was done with it. At this point, it had been an hour and 15 minutes. There were some parts I wasn't thoroughly satisfied with, such as the mouth and the bottom part of the worm's tail, but I let it go. The last time I went over was to add the other letters. The way you do it is that you think of the ASCII symbols as not letters, but actually little pictures. Kind of like LEGO's. You place them according to their shape in places you will want to terraform, for lack of a better word.

Now, the hand. The hand was a quick decision. I decided I needed something to make it more, I don't know, welcoming to the viewer. So I drew up a hand. I don't really like it since I did it all in 2 layers and I did it pretty quick, but I think it's for the better.

ASCII in Paint is actually much easier than ASCII in Word and Notepad. The text tool really helped since I could just click anywhere and start typing.

Yeah, that's the ballad of the ASCII. No, I did not use an ASCII generator. :mad:

I'm still highly skeptical that you did do it.
Especially considering how you used high-positioned apostraphes where low-positioned symbols would've worked much better, and vice versa for full stops.

While I'm here, does anyone know how to use the colour eraser? I'm sure there's some sort of button comination to actrivate it and I can't find a thing about it in the help file. Everything I try I just end up with the regular eraser.:(

so far we have 7 entries, in a couple of days.

oh yeah, i forgot to say what time the competition ends. It will end some time at night time. Words of advice: get it in by the deadline.

I was sort-of wondering the same thing, but since most of the time I was zooming in and out madly, I figured the other ASCII artists that I've gathered bits of information from know better than me, and to leave it at that. :-/

That's really cool. You and Jet are both pretty awesome artists.

Thanks for making my sigworm in your entry, that's actually pretty awesome :D

Teddyworm, is that your final entry? you can only enter once, so choose which one to enter.

The competition will close on April 26th, some time at night time.;)

That's still a LOT of days.

A year is a lot of days, actually.:p

Are you trying to say it should end earlier?

Not really, no.

But i quote: "Is that your final entry?"

Sounds like we're on a really tight schedule.

I'm not saying it like we are running out of time.

You can't enter 2 times, so i would like to know what entry Teddyworm would like to enter.

Not really, no.

Is the tachometer on Jet's mech hand meant to be see-through?

...Tachometer?

It isn't measuring rotations or movements

...Tachometer?

It isn't measuring rotations or movementsyou weren't supposed to point that out. he wanted to feel smart :p

I guess so.

Mmm, sounds like Taco-meter. Sounds tasty.

Hmm...

A meter that shows how many tacos are in the vicinity? That could be quite handy.

Alright, alright. I fixed it now, so here.

Fixes:
- I made the hand bigger.
- Made the meter not transparent as requested.
- Fixed the edges on the hair(see on the eyes.)
And here it is:

That still doesn't answer the question of "Why is the worm transparent?"

Honestly, I don't get why everyone was obsessing over the meter. :confused:

To get the line variation went over the lines I wanted to thicken a couple of extra times with the paint brush on it's lowest setting. Keep your lines loose and make liberal use of the eraser. Of course using a tablet helps a lot.:p

Aku, from now on I PROHIBIT you fom using vectors to make art even again. You should stick to paint for the time being.I actually made it the same way as I always did with my old paint stuff so it started off without any of the variable lines and such but since I was trying a few new things with the image I figured I'd stick to doing so and tried to mimic philby's pen-sketching-ness. I could probably mimic the technique in fireworks assuming I can find out how to turn windows Aero off with windowblinds (fireworks lags to HELL with the pen tool with aero running)....

I'll work on it

Aww, man! You made him golden-brown!:(

The shading is definately very good, but it's the colours I'm not so keen on myself. It seems that the shading is a bit too dark to me, as if he's been hit by some strange spotlight. I think if you lighten up the colour of the shading, it'll look more ambient, and a bit better as a result. It's probably a clash with the bright white background.

(I'm not trying to say that dark shading is always a bad thing, but it doesn't seem suitable for this picture).

It wouldn't work as ambient light the way the shadows are positioned. It seems as if the light is coming from slightly bellow the front of the worm, so it has to be a local area light, thus the darker shadows make more sense. It would probably look better if it had a darker background tho.

welcome back :p

"don't pay attention to me. I totally did break the rules, but--HEY LOOK! A BIG DISTRACTY THING!"
You'll be suprised at how much that actually works.

Right people! the competion is ending in almost a week, so get those entries in! time will run out before you know it! time goes fast! you must catch up with time! time is the fastest thing ever!:cool:

Okay, i think i'll calm down now.:p

As i said, the competion will end in 8 days. Also, so far we have 9 entries. If it appears we have more than 10, then some of the pictures, will not be in the voting thread, which means you'll be out of the competition.

It will end on April 26th. There's no time when it will end, but when April 26th comes, its ended.

And then i will create the voting thread- depending if i'm busy, or my internet connections gone, or something.

Time is also the slowest thing ever D:<

And then i will create the voting thread- depending if i'm busy, or my internet connections gone, or something. or getting another temp ban.:p

or getting another temp ban.:p

Or my computer smashing into pieces, and me dying, and.... uhhhh...

Never mind.

Oh, did i forget to mention i have 2 computers?:p

Anyway, forget about the past, and concentrate on the future, the past is old, the future is new.:cool:

and me dying,
A good Forumer would get himself ressurected in time to make the voting thread!

Nice! good improvement to your other entry!

I assume that will be your new entry, right?

The HHG looks... <insert insulting adjective here>.

Try looking up Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holy_Hand_Grenade) or something.

The shading on the weapons is fine, but there's some crazy perspective going on. The cross is sticking out of the HHG a bit wrong. Make the bottom of the cross overlap the sphere, as the angle it's sticking out suggests to me that it should be at the front of the view, not behind it. You also wouldn't be able to see as much of the top of the dynamite as you can there. The shading on the worm is off too. It's what I used to do at the start, put a tiny bit of shading at the very edge when there should be a bit more of it given where the light is shining. Also, I get the feeling that the shading over the creases should be below them, not above them, as the light is coming from below.

Keep practicing though. It's a good attempt.

The only thing i find wrong with it, is that the cross has been coloured wrong, it is supposed to be yellow, not white.

The pattern isn't quite right either. Follow the picture that yauhui has posted, and try and copy the holy hand grenade from there.

Apart from that, its a good picture.

The HHG is fine if it's based on W:A's.

I agree with Melon though, every object has its own camera angle and that's a bit bizarre.

I agree with Melon though, every object has its own camera angle and that's a bit bizarre.and also I want to add that even the hands have their own angles. the whole thing is bizarrely out of perspective.

also, yauhui, quit while you're less behind than you could be.

Looks anti analised to me..?

That's because it IS. Flash gives you that "sketchy" line look (or... varied line thickness) but paint doesnt, unless you manually vary the line thickness. I doubt poninja has the skills and patience to do it.

FINE I'm LEAVING.

OR NoT.

It's Slick just in case you don't get it.

Wow. That is awesome!

I think there might be a tie in the voting thread......

Man, it's been so long since I saw a Pimp Slick picture...

wow, kelster! that's REALLY good!

Thumbs up Kels.

Can I call you Kels? No? Oh OK, sorry Kels.

Thank you for the criticism, and for making it constructive, everybody who commented. I think the reason the white cross on the HHG looked weird was that I treated the HHG as a 2D object, rather than 3D. And yes, I admit that the fingers on the dynamite looked weird. Hopefully this one is an improvement on the other one.
EDIT: And the HHG is based on the one from W:A, not the one from W3D.

marginally better, but the perspective is still wonky as hell.

Thanks guys! :D

Analised eh?:p

There's nothing sketchy about those lines. They're not all drawn with the same tool is all. The thick lines are classic curve tool and the tiner lines are done with the line tool. The tapering lines are the result of the shading outlines overlapping the black outlines.

The anti-aliasing is nowere near the quality you'd get from flash. The picture has obviously been re-sized.

Kelster: the shading's pretty nice, but your linework is messy as all get out. It's pretty jarring.

Analised eh?:p

Philby you dirty you

It IS called Analised :(

Uh, no it isn't.
It's anti-aliased.

Google search (http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=Anti-Aliased&btnG=Search) agrees with me (http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=Anti-Analised).

Oh god, why do i keep mixing this up.. Thanks for correcting me.

*googles analised*

OH MY GOD!!! MY INNOCENCE!!!

agrees with me (http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=Anti-Analised).

Woah, I never knew so many people used it that way... There seems to be like 35 of them! D:

Haha... 35.

:(

*looks at calendar*

Its the 26th today, which means that the competition has ended. So that means no more entries! they will be rejected.

I'm creating the voting thread now.....
