Got everyones attention? Good.

Lo' and behold my first ever thread!

How about this for an idea:

Draw yourself and what you think others (involved in this forum) look like, using MS paint and other basic drawing programs alone.

Sounds like an ingenius plan, no? :D I'll kick myself if this kind of thread has already been made.

Anyone want to kick off, i just posted this topic the moment I thought of it so i'll draw up some people using my imagination and post them up soon. :D

Only "basic drawing programs"? So we can't use anything like PSP? What about scanning in drawings?

aw, this is cute! oh oh oh! draw what you think i look like! but dont cheat and look at my pic in my profile!

and i'm gonna do some too...hmmm of me and who else...

lol, if you cheat offa my pciture you'll come up with Rei ayanami, I would draw but I don't have a scanner or nuttin.

wow Zach! that's a great idea! :cheers:

maybe I'll do this one.. who knows?

two questions:
1. What about scanning drawn images?
2. What's wrong with using something like photoshop or painter? anything made only in Paint is going to look awful

im so proud :tear:

No limitations then :P Changed system. Scans and PSP etc allowed. I didn't think this through. As i thought of the topic, i posted it. :D

@Traya: Who's Zack? My name is Zach :P
Where's all the white clothes :( Heh, i'm a dopey looking mario wanabe, am I? Excellent. B)

Edit: Here's my 5 minute job of Angelic. :devil:

edit 2: thing behind angelics back is a big ass Bazooka, forgot to label it.

thats pretty good........

Here's a self Portrait. :D

wow angelic is very nice i couldnt have done it any better lol
nice on you too heres the pic of my self
http://img66.photobucket.com/albums/v202/Traya/me.jpg

why do people always portrait me as a gangster? -_-

I can't imagine Zach as his self portrait.. somebody who used to go on about the P3 exam with Darkbring? :mellow: Nah ~

AHaha, a gotique!!! (sp?)

P3 was the bane of my existence. I didn't go on about it. Dark Bring was one of the only people I could identify with when i first came here so I just went with the flow. B) You're doing maths A2 next year, right? Try to keep all the emotion in. P3 is indeed the hardest exam ever. What the hell was it about?! Now look what you've made me done. P3 is long over and its still a topic of conversation, why?! If you can't imagine me as I drew myself, you could always use Traya's portrait for picture purposes. :D

@ Angelic: If you ain't some kind of Beefed Up Rambo'esk person in real life, i shall be very dissapointed. All the signs are there. The no mercy towards members (ie, the three strikes and your... ah, screw the three strikes, you're OUTTA HERE!!!), the short fuse, the bazooka behind your back etc, etc.

(This was to uh... damn... had to go back to check the name; spoonpuppet's post)

Sorry for double post. Don't know how to put 2 pictures in a post.

lol damn straight! ill make a better ver of zach now lol zach your drawings rule :D

Still, won't pencil be a lot better? so you can erase and scan

Do what you wish. I suck at real life art. MS paint is where its at (even though mine look kind of sucky on that also, but meh, whatcha gonna do, eh? :D

yes... yes u do :P

i got glasses too but i dont draw them in self portrait. heres me all animeized. i tried cging but i couldnt get it to work so i just left it with solid colors

Funny how people often portray themselves as being much cooler than they actually are :mellow:

1 minute job of my portrait using photoshop.
it bears a rather small resemblence.. <_<

pfft im a cool as i portray i am B)

How juch Wax did you put on those two clumps of hair to get it to go;

/&#092;/&#092;
/ &#092;

I tried it, needed a TON of wax. Gel just doesn&#39;t cut it, and STILL it was only like that for a bit of the day. Good think too, made me look stupid.
Don&#39;t know how anyone could pull it off. Looks cool on paper, looks stupid when put into practice. Its a harsh and twisted world :(

@ Angelic: I AM COOL&#33; Ain&#39;t no one gonna make me believe otherwise.

And STILL don&#39;t post your pic. If you aren&#39;t a cross hybrid of Stallone and Schwarzeneggar, I don&#39;t wanna know.

Edit: Hey, naturally everyone is going to draw themselves at thier best. I wouldn&#39;t even think of drawing a self portrait of myself with one hand in the air, maybe a leg their too, tongue sticking out, crossed eyed, etc etc etc.

Also, look at Traya&#39;s self portrait. :bleh:

Here&#39;s a pic that a friend did of me.

http://p7.xanga.com/72/74/7274db4dfa0d20e65f9583f8e715acac80994.jpg

oh yeah i just a bottle of gel every day :rolleyes:

@ michael - those eyes are cool

edit - spelling

Damn my non-scanner-having

this thread would be soo much fun right now
I&#39;ll see what I can do in Paint (Paint rocks&#33;&#33;)

just to let you guys now....i was commented to be a pretty looking girl

the one problem with that is...i&#39;m a guy...is that a bad thing? haha

Not unless if you&#39;re a pretty boy. :D
I like pretty boys.. haha.

Here&#39;s my oh so wonderful self portrait of me.

I&#39;ll finish it.. tomorrow. :P

And two days later it still isn&#39;t complete. :(

I thought this thread was more about drawing what other people looked like, not just yourself.. :mellow:

Yeah, but no one wants to participate, it seems. In my case, I couldn&#39;t begin to imagine what anyone who isn&#39;t Angelic or Traya might look like.
