This is a great theme. Too bad I can't finish mine.

No cus it defeats the object of the challenge!

can it just be a character or something?

wich means yes, he was being sarcastic.

even in the realm of professionals, suggestions are typically allowed.  usually you just can't outsource a significant portion of the job, which oddly enough in todays world does not include the early creative processes....

You would still be making a choice to follow the other's suggestion.

what if someone suggests an idea for you to do? should you technically be disqualified? :O

surt (Level 10 Maniac) at 11/27/2007 2:45:22 PM
Using the Vista MSPaint default colors create a scene of your choice.

If you choose to make an abstract scene, then it is allowed. But it is not allowed if you don't choose to do so.

A.B. (Level 8 Cannibal) at 11/27/2007 10:05:31 AM
Are abstract scenes allowed? o.O

Solitaire (Level 1 Depressed) at 11/26/2007 9:54:21 PM
.... Perfect. 8D

Adarias (Level 7 Colonel) at 11/26/2007 7:57:57 PM
mh...only 3-4 distinct values....this is going to be rough!

Noveroth (Level 1 Rookie) at 11/26/2007 7:39:26 PM
XP also had a blurring resize, unless you selected the image.

Monkey 'o Doom (Level 11 Psychopath) at 11/26/2007 6:45:00 PM
Nothing good, but it has new buttons and a blurring resize, which veritably SUCKS.

inkspot (Level 4 Button Man) at 11/26/2007 3:45:52 PM
Oh, the palette has approved! Has Paint  had any new features, bug fixes or updates too?

soda (Level 9 Vice President) at 11/26/2007 12:56:06 PM
Is there a way to download or get this palette?

Nevermind, got it. 

Khris (Level 1 Thug) at 11/26/2007 12:38:12 PM
The Vista palette is surprisingly decent compared to previous versions.

In which case, I actually wish we were using an older version's colors! Would've been more of a challenge.

Doomcreator0 (Level 5 Detective) at 11/26/2007 12:27:07 PM

Google images just inspired me


dogmeat (Level 7 General Manager) at 11/26/2007 9:44:38 AM
Think i'm going to totally do something with this, take a little break from the metaru challenge and apply some of my new skills to a challenge :)

jalonso (Level 11 Godfather) at 11/26/2007 9:40:51 AM
No guys, you don't have to use all the colors. Its just an exploration of the default color possibilities.

OMGFossil (Level 6 Yonkyu) at 11/26/2007 7:59:28 AM
what the shit  

Stickman (Level 4 Deputy) at 11/26/2007 2:16:15 AM
Do you have to use all the colours?

Pnaky (Level 2 Peon) at 11/26/2007 1:12:13 AM
Thx for compare...

surt (Level 10 Maniac) at 11/26/2007 12:56:15 AM
Should be Windows 16 colour palette. Ah, the memories.

jamcob (Level 2 Quiet One) at 11/26/2007 12:51:28 AM
