Oh yus. I love blending colors in MSPaint (see avvy). Also, I notice that it has the same color scheme as Samus' arm cannon... intentional, yes/no?

The gradual left-to-right refining is a nice little subtlety.


Full version of my avvy:

It's just an even red-yellow gradient.
Oh, also, I love your av. I forgot to tell you <3

Well, what I mean by the "refining" is that the outlining gets thinner, while the gradient gets smoother.

Also, as hard to believe as it may be, I made that avatar in MSPaint.

Oh, yeah.

Also, that's awesome, except the spraypaint tool is a huge NO. You can see it from a mile away, and it's bleh.

Yeah, I thought it was fairly obvious, but that was the first way I could think of to make a "wrinkle" effect. I'm pretty sure I saved the lettering separate from the gradient, so I'll see what I can do.

What's that supposed to mean? Most of MP2D's resources were done in Paint too. Paint is not a handicap.

Paint gives you much more freedom than Photoshop, contrary to popular belief.
In Photoshop, you're obliged to look like you used a bunch of different brushes and effects and stuff.
In Paint, no one's asking you to use anything but the pencil and the color editor. I feel much more at home there. :D

Amen. Also, I've found that recoloring is much easier in MSPaint than anything else, as are mathematical comparisons.

And Paint doesn't let you crutch yourself with filters.

I do prefer PS due to its tool hotkeys, though.

Only thing I'm obliged to is making it look awesomeness.

You're good at photoshop, though. >_>

The only thing you've ever done with paint is making your swords (unless you did even that in photoshop). Try making something more complex, or something that isn't just an outline + color, and generally expand your Paint horizons. You'll feel it too.

Paint is OK, but I work with graphics, not spiriting, so...
