Yes. Besides those few on GSSF who can do art in MS Paint, I've had a little experience of my own. But sometimes I can be horrible with it, sometimes I can be grand. Either way, sometimes I just get up and do it. So, let me start out with something the people who've seen me role-play know by name at heart: my infamous Black Brand. This is, supposedly, a little larger than my height (measuring at least 6' 8" tall), and wider than my body (3' 5"), with an inch thick blade. Yet, I can still wield it, only through rigorous training. Those who've I've spoken to (very few, I believe) about it's ultimate technique know that it takes a lot to accomplish. So, without further conversation, you may help yourself to the attachment for the image below.

Nice work! now i know how it looks like, I can change the wepon on your picture.

[Ravenblade]

its nice silo - very easy to see what its meant to be and i like the overall style. The effect of the actual "blade" part with the lines used is quite impressive^^

[ForteGX]

Touché, Silo. The coloring and shading is perfectly done. And you utilized the tools nicely. I can't wait to see more.

[Silo STATIC]

By the way. The grey streak down the middle of the white part of the blade is ... just what I called it. It's a streak that is produced when hit by a certain shade of light, like other swords or metals.

And yeah, the tape on the hilt of the sword is supposed to look like that, since I was trying to get in the cuts and tears in it using the pencil tool.

EDIT: Ah, yeah, the supposed curve at the end of the blade is supposed to be more curvy, I would say. And the back end sticks out a little more.

Man, if I was better at this, I wouldn't have to correct my picture in words ...

[Bekita]

that is an awesome picture silo O.O It's super for being done on paint lol way to go :)

WARNING! PG-13 POST!

My next one is the (aptly named) ******* Blade. Some of you recall from Diablo the ******* Sword when you hear this name, but trust me, this is way different. The only thing I hoped to improve on was the blade. MS Paint really sucks with this kind of stuff, so I guess I should start improvising more.

By the way, you should open this up in your own MS Paint programs, since the minor gold details on the emerald part of the blade make it look like it was messed up in a smaller view, so, maximize it with the zoom tool.

Those were both great!!!!! Kudos!!

[Silo STATIC]

By the way, before you even ask, people are allowed to double post in their own art topics. Only if they have some new submissions they'd like to add.

This next one is my already infamous emerald bazooka. I dunno why, but since my birthstone is an emerald, that may be the cause of why I like emerald-colored stuff. Maybe the occasional shade of green, but you get the idea. This took no longer than 5 minutes.

why must you all have a steady hand!? jk :)

but seriously, I like all of those designs and shading is top notch

[Ivan is my name]

Wow... nice. I can draw nothing in paint and any similar stuff. You must be good....

[Ravenblade]

i go to sleep and you post two new images :)

the dagger thing thats name i shall not utter is very cool silo and i like it - my fave so far.

the bazooka is good too but i prefer the non modern weapons

[Illidan]

I learnt how to make metal on photoshop too!

That's really cool Silo. Well done and I hope to see more of these in the near future mate. =)

[ForteGX]

Incredible, Silo. You're really doing well with Paint. You've done excellent work to make those images look truly computer generated.

I can't wait to see more.

It's not a dagger ... it's supposed to be a normal-length sword. MS Paint made it look like crap, okay?

And Forte ... be patient. :D

[Bekita]

wow! I still can't believe you do that on paint! It's awesome silo!!

[Zxor]

those are alll so frichen sweet, GREAT job!

[Isaac13]

Silo, can you draw the Soul Calibur?

[Silo STATIC]

^No.

This next one is one of Forte's dual revolvers--that I dubbed the Magna Revolvers--for his character from EX; an anime I may be doing in my adolescence. These are supposed to be as long as his legs, but the trigger (despite its size) is easy to pull back and shoot. There are straps on each side of the handles on the revolvers that Forte can position his fingers through and have a better grip on them, while he can concentrate on shooting.

I'm not gonna go into too many details, so, here it is.

[Ravenblade]

again silo, thats very well made - the lines and details are perfect and produce a good effect^^

Your description of how it would size up on Forte and the overall style of the gun made me think of the Timesplitters artwork. I think its a lot like that style. Kinda cartoony but not.

[Silo STATIC]

I got the idea for the revolvers from Gotcha Force, since one of the characters there had big guns, and I really mean big.

[Somia]

that gun somehow reminds me of a gun in Trigun, but it's probactly just me, it's nicely done, me likes it.

[Silo STATIC]

This is my custom deranged-style anime face. Sure, it has proportions of that from FLCL, but this is different.

That's all I have to say. Enjoy.

That's hilarious. In a good way. Maybe if the mouth was a bit less boxy, it would look even better, but it really isn't required; it's fine as is.

That would make an cool logo. Nice work. =D

[Bekita]

both of those are really good silo! :P

I love the face XP

[Isaac13]

That was scary. Very scary, in fact.

[Kikuichimonji]

...is it safe to come out now? XD

That reminds me of Edward soo badly :wacko: I love those faces

post more!

[Mallick]

Whoa, man, that's good stuff! Your shading owns!

I liked that face, but it closed my Music player when it opened. >=O. Heh

[Silo STATIC]

How'd that happen? Must've been a malfunction of ... some sort.

I'll add more later when I feel like there's something I can do in Paint.

[Zxor]

NICE work, paint takes time, well for me, GREAT JOB!!

[TheDogWho]

It's really impressive how you can shade well in Paint.

[Silo STATIC]

Well, since I haven't updated this topic for a while, I'll let you guys on in a piece of art that I'm still working on (as you can see from the stray color blocks and the uncolored areas of the hilt). Currently, I've had another anime idea after listening to an internet radio station that was hosting techno music, which then sparked a nearly forced brainstorm, which grew into an amazing idea. From there, I started working on this, which is one of the characters' weapons, supposedly entitled the Cobalt Sabre (until I come up with something better for its namesake). It's supposed to have a techno-esque look to it, but I don't even know if that's true, so, go figure.

Enjoy.

[Ivan is my name]

Nice!! How do you get that shading?

[Silo STATIC]

Alright, I finally got off my arse and finished the Cobalt Sabre. I extended the blade, modified the hilt a little, and moved the stray bolts onto the front of the hilt, then moved the extra part where the bolts were to the back. I hope it looks as techno-esque as it should be.
