Jan 17 2010Congratulations?: Guy Spends 4 Years Drawing Make-Believe World In MS Paint
Youtube user scorpiongold has spent four years drawing his own little fantasy world in Microsoft Paint. Currently the painting is 2.5m x 2.3m and filled with all kinds of wacky shit. Wow, could this article get any more eloquent? You could really learn a thing or two, Shakespeare. No-talent hack. You getting this, Billy? YOU CAN'T TAME THIS SHREW!
Thanks to Jaja, who just drew his own little world in Microsoft Paint in a day and freed up the next 3 years, 364 days for not doing that.

All the best things in life are made with MS Paint

@2: What's even more pathetic than being a FIRSTn00b?
Being a FIRSTn00b and failing to post first.
4. Amazing - January 17, 2010 7:07 PM
His MS paint skills didn't even improve over the four years. What a waste of time, He could have like 25 level 80's in WoW right now.
fail.

The Dragonforce doesn't help much.

@4
You're giving the guy grief because his MS paint skills didn't improve? STFU already, he was just making something on his spare time and it's very entertaining. Stop being such an a$$hat about it.
8. llinear - January 17, 2010 7:22 PM
Can't really think of one practical use. Maybe make it as a painting?
9. CrazyAznKT - January 17, 2010 7:32 PM
Where the hell is Waldo?!
10. jimmydogballz - January 17, 2010 7:33 PM
@3.. what's even more pathetic than being a firstnoob??
complaining about a firstard.
11. jimmydogballz - January 17, 2010 7:34 PM
@9 that would have made the whole thing worth it.
12. Trioxinator - January 17, 2010 7:38 PM
Love the racist look of all the natives.....looking for the hidden swastikas. Looks great Adolf.

Guy wastes four years making crappy image. Why is this at all praiseworthy? Because it took him a long time? If he would have done the whole thing in a week, would that be less worthy of admiration?
At what point did the amount of _effort_ become a factor? How is four-years-slow guy any more talented than 1-week-fast guy?
I can't admire him or his effort. I can only pity his waste of time.
15. Anson J. - January 17, 2010 8:08 PM
*TAME.
16. Joeri - January 17, 2010 8:10 PM

If Beavis and Butt-Head had an I Spy book . . .
That's all I could think of while taking a tour of such a . . . umm . . . err . . . . fascinating world. When would come a break in the music and the familiar sound of, "Heh heh! Hey! I spy boobies!"
20. I never back down - January 17, 2010 8:41 PM
I don't really care for it i mean i think it's cool he was even able to do this in ms paint i suck a ms paint(great with photoshop), But i just don't get it, it's just a bunch of random stuff on an 8 foot by 8 foot "canvas". Not being an asshat i just don't get it.
21. muffy! - January 17, 2010 8:41 PM
@ 4 hahahahaha your complaining about someone coloring, when you this WOW is a better waste of time?
22. muffy - January 17, 2010 8:41 PM
@ 4 hahahahaha your complaining about someone coloring, when you this WOW is a better waste of time?
23. Joel - January 17, 2010 8:49 PM
I'm pretty sure I'd buy a poster sized printout of that! haha
24. greap - January 17, 2010 8:51 PM
This like if you milked god's boobies into a blender full of crack rocks and made a smoothie of pure liquid awesome and then drank it and went on an epic Llama hunt that ended in you finding, and befriending Bigfoot. after a long friendship you fell in love and had three beautiful children that went on to have an orgy with chuck norris. This is like if the baby that the orgy produce puked on a piece of kryptonite and beat superman to death with it. then collected his superman blood and used it to water his tomato garden. then when the tomatoes were done growing he brought them to the top of mount olympus and gave them to zeus and then zeus ate them and exploded and the zeus juice rained down on the people of earth and filled their bellies with sweet sweet goodness.

this site has officially gone downhill
26. Meatpuppet - January 17, 2010 8:59 PM
@24 Wow, you're so wacky and weird! That's cool! ...aaaaaaaaaaaaand the sarcasm ends.
27. greap - January 17, 2010 9:00 PM
screw you 26, i'm a poet.
28. Samwich - January 17, 2010 9:01 PM
If he prints it the image will get screwed up... personal experience
29. cesspool - January 17, 2010 9:12 PM
Kinda like an extended world view of Toe Jam and Ear... but not nearly as cool
30. cesspool - January 17, 2010 9:12 PM
*earl
31. eron - January 17, 2010 9:53 PM
ultra fail
32. MikeZ - January 17, 2010 10:16 PM
4 years and it still looks like shit. Now that's just sad.
33. ted - January 17, 2010 10:34 PM
4 years eh?
i have a college carreer that's been going for about 10...does that mean when i actually finish it'll be a super degree?
no.
painting sucks. the music is horrid.
34. Just Sayin' - January 18, 2010 2:46 AM
I believe the shrew was tamed, not timed. Just sayin
35. maddy - January 18, 2010 2:54 AM
love the drawing.
when he said he spent 4 years painting it, why do people assume he did nothing else for 4 years except sitting on his desk with the mouse in his hand and insult his work and patience?
wish he would make it downloadable.
36. Photocopier - January 18, 2010 3:40 AM
that was awful, as a pixel artist I am ashamed of his existence.
37. ben - January 18, 2010 3:45 AM
kinda looks like runescape...
38. Peter Smithers - January 18, 2010 4:19 AM
since you asked so hard, yeah, ok, i'll comment. maybe you should do some more like this. spend a couple of decades next time producing something that would get laughed out of any junior art school.
this would be far preferable to doing something actually useful in the world.
i have absolutely no problem with commitment to a cause, but this! ffs, it's time to grow up and stop asking for attention.
39. Not Really - January 18, 2010 4:38 AM
I should have done this instead of going to college...what a mistake...
40. Jotham - January 18, 2010 6:45 AM
Wow, people. Isn't it better that he spent his free time making a gigantic mspaint... thing, than to have wasted that time playing WoW or something? At least it shows dedication. Stop being jerks.
41. enigma - January 18, 2010 8:22 AM
This is the problem with raising a generation on "points will be based on effort."
42. graf zeppelin - January 18, 2010 9:08 AM
I saw a dinosaur. otherwise, I might have advised him to do something better with his time. like learn how to draw.
43. ShitBitch Car - January 18, 2010 9:29 AM
I think some of you missed a joke while tying to be right about stuff. Chill on the copy editing, you're idiots.
44. Beatnik - January 18, 2010 9:43 AM
@12: Yeah, that's the first thing I noticed too.
FAIL!!
@27: "I'm a poet" LOLOLOLOLOL Wait, you were being sarcastic, right?
Where's Daisy when we need her, to complain about the shadows being all wrong? WHERE THE HELL IS DAISY???
45. Beatnik - January 18, 2010 9:44 AM
Oh, and all the people complaining about people's comments, esp. people with negative comments, the guy ASKED for comments. So whaddya expect?
46. Jeff Little - January 18, 2010 10:16 AM
Epic Fail
47. captaindash - January 18, 2010 11:08 AM
@4, you mean he wasted his time because he didn't spend it in WoW? Wow. I don't even know what to say. Vagina...it's what's NOT for dinner for you.
@27, yeah, you are a poet. Or at least you act like am emo pansy when somebody calls you out.
The music kicked ass, but that's about it. Quality doesn't matter (South Park, anyone?), but content does (South Park, anyone?). If this had some sort of story, or if the areas were themed like something was going on it'd be pretty cool.
48. istarr - January 18, 2010 12:00 PM
Clearly 21st Century Folk Art.....maybe the most ambitious of the genre!
49. greap - January 18, 2010 12:27 PM
@48. call me out? you made a sarcastic joke. yeah i'm wetting my little knickers.
50. Jaja - January 18, 2010 12:56 PM
Oh my fucking god I love you GW !!!
You have no idea how close I was to just quitting @ life lol.
You have made my entire year!!! :D
51. lee.harless - January 18, 2010 3:12 PM
@24 we would be great friends if we lived in the same town
52. lee.harless - January 18, 2010 3:13 PM
btw, i love the drawing.
53. Jade - January 18, 2010 3:13 PM
I feel the need to quote Cow&Chicken: "someone had to be ugly to make others look good."
For his sake hope he has an education and a job because he won't be making much money with this.
@27: I know you're a poet. I almost wept at the beauty of your words.
Seriously though, some people are genius in their stupidity.
54. Jade - January 18, 2010 3:14 PM
(correction: *has instead of had.)
55. Tania - January 18, 2010 9:59 PM
GIGGITY!

Contact my office immediately. You have cases pending against you. Ignoring this matter will further damage your situation.
57. Kemokyle - January 22, 2010 12:29 AM
I'd ask for a refund... (of the 4 years that is)
58. Sun - February 2, 2010 12:52 AM

59. Preston Holcombe - February 4, 2010 6:09 PM
