    Nice nice, looks like this is going to be a great contest by the time it ends! Remember the only limits are your imagination, and the rules of course.

    Finally, a contest worthy of my artistic genius >=D MSPain has been my tool of choice for the past half a decade or so (even if I haven't REALLY used it in the pastyear or two XD)...IT IS ON!!!! But not like Donkey Kong. More like Knuckles the Echidna.

    Ah yeah I know you CAN, but that doesn't mean you should.b:chuckle

    As the rules state, if you do not have paint then use the most basic tools listed [in the rules] to emulate an MSPaint drawing

    here's a secret about touchpads I found out, use it if it helps:
    grab a pencap or something small, but not sharp, use it to draw like you would with your hand, just make sure you move the mouse before you click to start drawing.

    and using a tablet for this is just as much cheating as using photoshop lol

    I don't use any of the fancy **** in Gimp typically, but I like the exteded undo it has, I make enough mistakes lol

    that said, linux doesn't have a MSPaint-like program lol

    that said, I lothe the new MSPaint, am using basic stuff in GIMP instead, it's layed out much better.

    (if anyone wants pictures of Windows 7's paint feel free to ask, you can see why I lothe it so lol)

    Yeah this is where you post them. Or should I say, oui?

    Ya, you got it!
    Now I've got two drawings:the first one is, i think, the best one and should be the one juged, but if the sock cannot be upside-down, then look at the second one. The PWE logo is on both. Anyways, here's mines:

    On this one, the X-mass sock is upside-down, serving as a hat, since the next expantion will us to wear a fashion hat.(WOOOT!b:pleased)

    And this one is a picture tooken inside Jolly Old Jones's house, over his fireplace. Saddly, he is alone to celebrate this year, so why not go visit him durring the Holidays!

    P.S. Great idea to use only paint, as this rule made me think that even I could have a chance at winning, unlike ones where no such rule enables players to use their photoshop skilz!
    simple but effective,

    MAD skillz right there. I smell competition =)

    @The person who can't draw squares: There's a square tool.

    Edit/@Spoons: When you say you're not looking for a masterpiece...does that mean that I'll have less of a chance if I spend a longer time on mine?

    I apologize if it's been asked, but I am grinding atm and can't read through - and a guildie asked.

    Are there any stipulations like - if you win/won a recent contest you can't win this one as well?

    The only restriction is that you DO NOT resize the template image.

    Mmm, I know one entry has already been rotated 180 degrees, but I wanted to check before I tried making something...

    Is it legal to rotate the image?
    I know the rules say it can't be resized and by rotating it either 90 or 270 degress, technically, the width and length are resized...

    You can prevent it from doing so if u start out with smallering the original size of the paint white tamplate ... just look in the lower right cornor and u will c a little squar ... try pull it towards the upper left ^^

    May we change the size of the sock? i mean like making it smaller but having the area be the same pixels.
