Hey all, it's been a while since I've posted anything on here. I haven't had much time to draw/paint lately. I did these while at work talking to customers. How I wish they had something better than MS Paint on the PC's here but unfortunately this is all I have to work with. Hope you like them!

    Those are pretty good.
    Much better than what I was expecting when you said you used MS Paint...

    Yeah, the words 'MS Paint' do not tend to inspire much hope heheh.

    Thanks though!

    I love all of these so much. My favorite is the first one with the red and brown. Did you use a drawing pad or a mouse. Im guessing a mouse cus you said you are at work. If you did use a mouse then I am very impressed.

    Those are awesome, I wouldn't believe you did that in MS Paint (with a mouse, even?), if you hadn't told us. :shock:

    I don't understand how people do it... But it is amazing though. Hell, I wouldn't even mind having that as a wallpaper. And on a similar note...

    Ummm... Crap. That Mona Lisa is flippin' sweet.

    And yeah, those were done with a mouse. I wish I had a Wacom here. :|

    That last painting of yours commands some fucking respect. I just love it.

    I always love seeing MS Paint used in such neat, innovative ways. I remember when wakkawa used to post almost nothing but things he'd done in MS Paint.

    Anyways, cool stuff.

    MS Paint rocks, I like to make little OOTS-style avatars when I'm bored, like the one to the left. :)

    The new version that comes with Vista actually has a "Crop" option! lol.

    Very cool scenic pics! I love your use of color, especially in the sky and how you create the lighting effects with it.

    What the hell? I guess I have never really taken the time to create something of substance. I typically use MSPaint to touch up pixelated pictures.
