I made a twatter banner version.

C'mon, did you really do that in MS Paint? With a drawing tablet?

Is there a rule against using a shiny brand new Wacom graphic tablet?

 

[Jasede]

Not if it's in MS Paint!

Your MCA is giving me bedroom eyes.

Anyway, I gave you a goldfist. Don't spend it all in one place.

Fuck I really wanted to win. I hate you all!

Sorry fellas, but demanding to know whether or not Lagole Gon's entry was really made in MS Paint only underlines how threatening it is due to its creator's obvious artistic technical skill.

There's very little reason to believe that it wasn't made in MS Paint, as there is no evidence of what you might call "automated tools/processes" or "advanced computer assistance" (drop shadows, perspective warping, lensing, noise addition, special effect filters, etc). At most, basic shape and brush tools (and possibly font art, which Paint has) were used, which an actual artist doesn't really need anyway. It could have been made with colored pencils, art markers, or crayons for that matter, and it would look about the same. It's basic, simple outlines and flat colors used, well, artistically.

I work with CorelDRAW and several CAD programs on the daily, I am not an artist (I'm a technical draftsman), and I use just about every computer drawing aid there is. Not a one would help me create that piece, even if I had the skill to create it, which I don't.

I win. Give me money.

The righteous need not cower before the drumbeat of human progress. Though the song of yesterday fades into the challenge of tomorrow, God still watches and judges us. Decline lurks in the AAA-title-grade pic of Lagole as it lurked in postmodern art of yesteryear. But it was never the tablet that was evil.

I took a more scientific approach to this phase transition

The definitive codex post. This man distilled 20 years of history into a beautiful and informative art piece.

I think I have to clarify that the 'toilet' that the image is referring to refers to the so called society the rpgcodex exists in and not the rpgcodex itself.

 

[ERYFKRAD]

Crom on his mountain, no wonder I never tried MSPaint(or drawing) before.

Pardon me, sir. I believe you have this pictures thread confused with a words thread.

It's kind of like entering this into a meme contest:

Hey guys, sorry. I think I have to clarify that:

You are right. I intended to add (visuals) to it later, but I didn't get around to it.

Yes, while Lagole Gon's was a grand result, quixotic spoke more to our hearts with Lagole coming in at second place.

Kev Inkline, and Wild Slop's efforts were worthy of consideration.

With Darkozric, KörangarTheMighty, and Bigg Boss winning participation prizes for their efforts.

All winners should PM me about their prizes. The Codex will buy them a GOG game of their choice or contribute to their Steam wallet up to the amount nominated.

 

[Lagole Gon]

Shoots.
I fuckin' knew an anime troll girl with a crotch bulge would have been a better idea!

 

[Darkozric]

Congrats quixotic

 

[mediocrepoet]

Congrats all. There were some pretty great entries and I'm impressed at how artistic many of you are. Maybe the 40th will have a spreadsheet competition and I'll be able to compete.

 

[Grauken]

Congrats to all, very fun entries

 

[Goral]

Happy anniversary motherfuckers:

This one was one of my favourites, shame that it didn't win even 20$ prize but prizes went to people who just used old memes and copy-pasted RPG devs over it for example. I would like to see how each staff member voted so I would know who has good taste and who is Infinitron.

Anyway, congrats to most winners.

 

[jackofshadows]

The choice of winners is odd, shameful even. I mean, what's so mental about this place? If anything, it's the other forums like resetera deserve such portrayal. Top2 look great but barely qualify as ms paint competitor. Runner-ups regurgitate memes - meh.

Imo the one Goral reposted above or some other, more wild ones should've taken the top. Thus, among the winners I liked the one from KörangarTheMighty the most.

 

[Azalin]

Among the winners I would say Lagole Gon's and Darkosric's were clearly the best,not sure why all the others got prizes,there were probably better ones

I'm super glad that I won a third place, but I would've expected winning with the evolutionary tree entry instead. You guys don't fucking love science?

Many thanks anyways, and I hope you all had as much fun seeing the stuff people came up with as I had.
