So as some members who have been here for years may know, I used to be pretty active. That dropped off when I went to university, and I also neglected the the hobby as well. However... contrary to popular belief I didn't stop painting....
I just took up a different kind of paint...
This is a picture I have working on for over 2 years now, its entirely created using Microsoft paint, and drawing each pixel individually (Well I used the fill tool and the line tool, which is wrong according to elitists). It's taken me countless hours so far (I'm talking over about 500 probably), but for some reason I find it very rewarding, and I've been told its kind of cool (its also where my avatar comes from)
I have a list of things I keep meaning to add thats 50+ at least. And each thing I draw gets slightly better. I don't really intend this to be ever finished, its gonna get bigger and bigger and bigger. Pretty much all the things in this picture have had some sort of meaning in my life, whether its been a defining moment, or just something I enjoyed watching on TV as a child. I'm sort of keeping it as an overall memory of my life.
At my last count its was about 250 pop culture references, I don't even really remember whats all on there anymore. But there is a lot more to come. I hope to have a few updates soon!
Anyway, Ive rambled on far too much here. So without further ado, here is the picture (Click on it to get a bigger picture, its pretty large)
Hmmm looking at that thumbnail, I'm not happy with the blending from the sky to the space, I will look into fixing that..
Hope you enjoy it as much as I've enjoyed creating it so far. Here is a game for you as well... try to name as many pop culture references as you can (all in one post please!). GO!
