As you know, there are many great artist on here. I came up with something really fun and rewarding. Here are the rules:
Every three days, i will post picture about Guild wars. Your job is to use the program 'Paint' to sketch the picture i post. BELIEVE this or not, each picture has its own value. Harder pictures will be rewarded with more golds, easier pictures will be reward less. I will contact you once i choose yours best(which is 3 days so many ppl can post theirs). Post your IGN below your sketch and hope you'd win
WARNING: If you cheat by using other programs other than paint, i will know and will not award you.

To get this started, Todays picture is:



Value: 700g to the one with the best sketch. Have fun

What I meant was, someone can just save your picture and put a little more time in editing it, then it would pretty much end up as something more complete. Hence, it would become an unfair contest.

I'm a photoshop girl, myself, so I've never touched MS Paint before. I figured I might as well give it a spin at least once so that I can be validated in my detestation of it. It wasn't as bad as I'd thought, though I'd hate to use it for anything other than a little doodle like this. ...oh, and since I've never used it before, I couldn't figure out how to change the colors and was thus stuck using the basic given palette. Oh well, I didn't do too bad, all considering.

15 minute scribble:


I've no interest in any prize, just figured as long as I did one I might as well post it.

The mouse only rule would certainly make it more fair. My mouse work looks like a 2-year-old did it. lol

well, you cant tell if someones uses mouse or not since if they use tablet and try to do bad like paint, is still tablet work. cheaters will get nothing from me, go do a sketch yourself to all those people who cheats.

Here is mine.

I converted the picture to bitmap, then used the picture as a sort of guide line, and filled it in, and added in various things, like making the blade stand out more, I cannot use photoshop to save my life, but I think that I am desent at paint >_>;

The Infinite Representation Of Pie And Its Many Brilliances

Please excuse me, but I've just deleted the last page and a half of this thread for being a great big argument, full of accusations that may, or may not be true. Unfortunately enough, there's no way to prove them entirely. Even because of the argument though, I figured it best to leave the thread open as a whole incase this could work somehow.

So here's what I'll do. I don't know who might've copied what, or if anyone "cheated" in any sense, but arguing over a contest that apparently means nothing to some of you is silly. If you can't find a way to improve this little contest and it's following discussions it'll end up with the lock I would've given it now.
