Hehe, wouldn't it suck if his HD crashed before he saved.

That was annoying.

I was waiting and waiting for him to clean up those ugly black lines and double pixels he used for the outline and he never did!

Not that i can do any better but it's hardly worthy of the name 'pixel god'.

Overrated tbh, just like that long line of 'pixel' art a white back.

Yeah, nothing that amazing to me either. It's really not so incredible that this can be done in Paint, because you're using basically the same tools as if you were doing it in PS or Illustrator. The only thing that's a hindrance is the lack of layers. Also, the amount of clean up is immense. The guy is just good at drawing and shading, and he's got great nerves for putting up with all the cleaning and do-overs, but otherwise it's nothing worth raving about.

The shading isn't very close to his reference, but I'd get bored shading in MS Paint too.
This is going to become another one of those is it or isn't it impressive threads again! As usual with the Paint stuff, to anyone that can draw, it's only impressive for its masochism.

it bothers me that it's sped up. I dont know why.

Awesome!! And good music too

Ms paint is good for something, then.

Janik · Sun 03/12/2006 16:44:49

Yeah, what was that song? Was that Trent Reznor?

m0ds · Sun 03/12/2006 17:10:11

Nine Inch Nails, apparently..

Esseb · Sun 03/12/2006 17:12:10

The video says what song is playing at the beginning, Janik.

I don't know if you're kidding or not, but it's obviously sped up since the whole thing probably took like 2-3 hours or even more to draw.

Well, MS-Paint isn't so bad after all

How many pixel artists does it take to draw a car in MS-Paint?

20.

One to do it, and nineteen to go "I could do that way better."

Amazing things can be done in MS Paint...if the program is taken seriously. But it's due to the program's lack of features that a lot of people don't take it seriously. Personally I wouldn't have the patience to do something like that...especially not in MS Paint. If I did decide to do something like that it would take forever and wouldn't come out looking as good...but I would never dream of doing it in Paint.

Why is it always "more impressive" when someone creates something in MS Paint? It's not like all the features you get in PS or the Gimp magically make you a great artist. Sure it makes life easier, but it's no substitute for talent.

Not that I'm criticizing this guy's work. I'm always in a bit of awe to watch somebody with talent create something out of a blank page (or in this case, a blank screen) while making it look so easy.

I wrote this post in notepad and then pasted it into the subject field not using short cut keys! AMAZING!

pixelation discussed this too recently

Those that can't criticise, those that can do.

Nikolas · Mon 04/12/2006 22:24:43

The song is NIN, from the latest album. (don't remember the name right now

Now on the matter at hand. I personally found it quite impressive! I'm pretty sure that seeing this done in PS, or vector would be impressive for me as well.

Usually technology is here to make things easier... I'm more impressed by someone lightining a fire with a couple of sticks and some shreded paper, than someone using mathces, it does make some sense... (?) Then again I find the guy trying to light a fire with two sticks, rather dumb! But then again depends on why he's doing it and so on...

Now him proclaiming he is a god. Nope he's not! Still the car he made is not bad. Of course using PS he could've made a better one! But...

I don't understand this. Can you rephrase?
