Artist's Comments

Well, here we see another self portrait of mine, from a few years ago... when I had not discovered the miracles of Vector graphics or digital sketchpads... I drew this sucker with a mouse in MICROSOFT PAINT. If you zoom in you can actually see the little bitmappy pixels.

Yes, and it took me an eye-stabbingly long time to do... (I think I clocked it at 36 hours.)

So yes, thank God for Vector graphics... Or perhaps, thank someone named Vector. Such tools have cut my time in these types of drawing to about a third.

Well, for one thing, in MS Paint, you are only allowed 3 undos in memory. In Flash, you can undo an unlimited amount of times. Also it's easy to copy and paste and move things around in Flash. If you draw a line, and you like it but wish it was a little more to the left, or a little more curved, you can just click and drag on it instead of having to draw it again.

Another thing is when I drew this picture, for some reason MS Paint would make my computer crash occassionally because of the largeness of the picture being in bitmap format.

x.x Sorry for the length, I just have a bone to pick with MS Paint.

Incredible. I've done pixel art with paint (and prefer it), but nothing like this. This is stunning stuff ;D

Keep up the great work, and also :+fav: :D
