DO NOT use mspaint. Only professional paint programs please.

This is a similar game as found in the "just add paint" thread. Here's a link to that thread if you want to see how that game was played. http://forums.weebls-stuff.com/showthread.php?t=56554
The difference in this game is that we shall use only paint programs with layer capabilities like photoshop, the gimp, paint.net, and so on.
Your computer's mspaint program would not work as effectively here because we want to use a lot of special effects, such as gradients and blurs, feathering and reflections.

Here's how it works:
I'll start off with an 800x600 pixel canvas. The next person will take this background and add whatever he or she would like. It's best not to over do it though. Save something for the next person to add.
We will using sections of photographs primarily, however, if you should feel the need to draw something that can't be found elsewhere, please feel free to do so.
If someone should inadvertently contribute something made with mspaint, just overlook it and pick up from the last submission. I'll thank the mspaint user and explain the rules to them.
After several submissions, the original design will have grown into a substantial picture. A composite of our individual contributions.
At some point, I will end the procedure and post a side by side comparison of the start and finished images. Then we'll do it all over again if there's sufficient interest.

Please save your contribution as a PNG file for best quality. Saving as a JPG will reduce the file size and slightly corrupt the image.

Here we go...

Very good Mat.

I'll make a contribution...

After this game is completed, I think it would be fun to use a photograph as a base.
Something like a simple Bliss photo.

Shouldn't it incorporate the original image as it evolves? That's the way it was done in the paint thread.

Haha Jailbird. I see where you were going with that.

Shouldn't it incorporate the original image as it evolves?That's a good point. Since this image will be made up primarily of photographs, the original abstract drawing should have been a photo instead. I've now rectified this by removing the original drawing and substituting it with a plain background.
Mat's photographic submission will now be considered the starting point... which in actuality, it was.

Great Job Seezer! Nice and clean.
Now comes the time when we need some real artistic inspiration.
The next contributor will have to carefully consider the composition.
It will take the passion of Picasso and the skill of Rembrandt to lead us into the next phase.

No pressure ;)

well, until now, it's still some kind of ugly "tap" ;)

maybe it makes more sense, when we share the .psd files, so we can use the several layers to continue with work - that should be easier and more useful for this thread....

well, until now, it's still some kind of ugly "tap" ;) The same thing was said about Andy Warhol's soup painting :eng101:maybe it makes more sense, when we share the .psd files, so we can use the several layers to continue with work - that should be easier and more useful for this thread....I thought about that Seezer. What you're suggesting would be great if we were using a single paint program, but for instance, since photoshop isn't the only program used here, I doubt a single file type would retain the layer histories of all the various programs. I may be wrong. Please correct me if I am.
For now, we'll just have to work hard and use our selection tools to do a lot of cutting.
Perhaps it would have been better if the original background had been left solid white and the final background's color only added at the very end. This would have made "selecting" a lot easier.
I think we should definitely do that next time.
My original thinking was that the background needed to be in place early incase someone wanted to make a reflection on an object, such as a blue sky reflecting on a pond. In hindsight, that was probably a mistake.

see thread topic: "Just add Photoshop" says all :eng101:
yeah yeah, i know, i know... you mentioned it in the first post ;)

i agree to the thing with the gradient background. solid would be easier...

Well you are correct in theory. For optimum results in a game like this, using a single paint program and it's native files would be best.
We need to do a poll thread and find out which programs are used most here at Weebls.
Aside from mspaint, I'm betting there are more people using free programs like gimp and paint.net.

I think it's just because there's so few of us. I'll make one more addition later today and see if that helps kick start it.
