Must. Finish. Ridiculously large. Pain stick war.

Seriously, this will be the last time I make a scene this big. I've been working on it for months now and it's still not finished.
Hell, I doubt it will ever be finished!

I think I owe you, my trusty fan(s), another little preview.

So here it is!
Just some sticks gamin'



Everybody needs some R&R every once in a while.

Holiday peview!

I’ve been hardly working on this new Paint Stick War over the past few weeks. So I think it’s safe to say it won’t be done until next year. Which isn’t that long, but I feel kinda bad because it’s been so long since I’ve posted something new.

I hope this preview is enough to get you through the holidays!

Can you guess what it’s about?

No?

Here’s a clue.

I know you like clues…

Happy holidays!!!

Working on something new involving these guys.


Ninja wars coming up!


















After doing the Epic wizard duel, I started experimenting with these guys.
I'm well aware of their alarming lack of "stickness", but trust me, it's allowed.

This is a big project, so it'll take a while!


Spread the wars.

Gatling like a sir!



As you may or may not know, making Paint Stick Wars is hard work. (yes it is)

It takes hours of pixel by pixel drawing to complete a scene, not to mention the complex thought process involved in orchestrating a well balanced battle! (Seriously, someone should give me a medal for this!)

You should also to take into account the limitations of MS Paint when making a stick war scene.

For example:

• You can’t properly cut out segments as you would in Photoshop or Illustrator.
• You can’t freely rotate segments as you would in Photoshop or Illustrator.
• Basically you can’t do a whole shitload of things you would like to be able to do.
• Also, you can't really use too much diagonal lines, it creates too much jagged edges and is just confusing.



After some experimenting (in MS Paint!), I started noticing I had developed some tips and tricks to make my life easier. (Just compare one of my earlier works (War 2.0) with one of my latest (Loading bay breach) and you’ll see what I mean.)

Anyway I’ve decided (really just now, typing this text which had no apparent purpose af first) to create a tutorial for Paint Stick Wars in MS Paint!

Isn’t that great news?

Weren’t you waiting for just that?!



Now, put your pants back on and sit back down!

Seriously, sit down...

I’m currently still working on two other PSW’s: a 3D Western scene (preview) and a 2D Zombie underground apocalypse style scene, so the tutorial will have to wait for a few weeks.



Until then, watch out for the next Paint Stick War!

Spread the wars.
