I wish I could do that...

Fifteen feet. Every pixel manually placed.

Also, this (http://www.halobabies.net/forum/files/teh_halo_475.png).

MSpaint is what many online comics are finished on.

And the program used in 90% of sprite comics.

Wish I could watch those videos, but you know.. dial up..

What the hell is this about? :confused:

this (http://www.deviantart.com/view/17908194/) is even better:

Yes, done in MS Paint.

Says more about the lives of the artists than MSPaint.

Beautiful, isn't it?

It was my wallpaper for a long time.

I really hate it when people say stuff like that. There's nothing worse than spending a lot of time to create something cool, only to have somebody else leisurely stroll over and sneer something along the lines of, "Wow, you must have a lot of time on your hands." I mean, what is it? Jealousy that you can't do the same thing? Why can't people just appreciate artistic talent for what it is without having to denigrate the artist?

Admittedly, it is no small feat. However, it can be done much quicker without having to do pixel by pixel touch ups. The person basically did the entire thing by hand, MSPaint only really let see what he was doing. He might as well have typed an SVG by hand. EDIT: Although, that would make for a slightly boring video.

No worse than constrained writing, or solving Rubik's cubes with your eyes closed. Sure, it's more difficult, but the difficulty only enhances the value of the feat. Plus, the value of these pictures is not merely in the technical difficulty. Painting each pixel individually highlights the artists' excellent understanding of color gradients and blending, which is pretty hard to achieve by hand with a program like that.

Hell, that'd be hard in any program. But still, this is all artist ability, not program ability.

I worked on that for a few weeks. Sketched it by hand, threw it into the scanner and finished it by paint. I know its cheating, but still...

*EDIT*
Should be a larger version here.

why is it 'cheating'? what's 'wrong' with mixing media?

I wish I could do that...

I edited a picture of Albert Einstein to turn him into a Nazi (even though he ran away from them). I felt so evil after doing it.

Yeah...

Now anyone know a site where one can learn to do this stuff?

That guy is fucking awesome. I use Paint when I can't be arsed waiting for PSP to open(damned laptop).
