My paint program series

Here we are! This is my fourth update. Just one more and I will be done... phew... let's get down to work then.

I recently came up with a challenge for myself. I told myself to create MSN display pictures of myself doing different dances that is seen on the net (specifically youtube.) But here's the tricky part. I'm suppose to do it on my PC which is without a good photoshop program and do it on the paint program instead using a mouse. Here is what I came up with:

1. Caramelldansen

Wanting to show my love (OR <3 hahah whatever...) for the caramelldansen dance, I drew
myself doing the caramelldansen! (Which may have led to utter blood loss to some who saw the picture. Sorry, not for the faint-hearted) Here is the process of my drawing process (which is actually a little of an... accident?)





Here is the line art. I actually wanted to leave it like that since I wanted to do it in black and white. Unfortunately, it did not look clear on the MSN display, so I decided to add in some colour.



So this is what I came up with... But it did look a little plain. Something was missing. Not only my glasses but something else. So I went back to my caramelldansen research on youtube and this is my final product:



Apparently I was missing the white highlights to make the character stand out and give the picture an enthusiastic feeling about the caramelldansen.

2. Girly man!



This was after watching the 'girly man' dance on youtube. Its actually an indian dance clip which look it came from a horror movie (yes, dance and horror. Don't quite come together eh?) where the person added in 'fake' subtitles according to how he heard the video. It was hilarious and creepy at the same time and I wanted to be part of it. So I drew myself doing the dance! Complete with back up dancers at the back!

3. Lucky star



Yes. I fell in love with the opening theme of the anime lucky star (Though it did seem pointless watching it) so I wanted to be part of the action. Here I am posing as they did on Lucky Star. My hair looked wilder than normal so you may not recognise the character as me. Unfortunately.



Here, I decided to complete the picture with random images at the back to compliment the randomness of the anime and added in PINK to show my girlyness. This picture don't exactly look complete but since the pink makes the character stand out,I'll leave it like that.

4. Captain underpants?! What the...



HAHA. BONUS. After returning to pilkey.com to visit, I took my time to take in the videos that were posted on the website which, you'll have to admit, is very hard to swallow. Still, the best video was the captain underpants flash so I decided to do something about that. Here is a picture of me shocked at the sight of Captain Underpant's posterior. UGH. Don't remind me.

I have more coming up so stay tuned. Meet you at the LAST update!: The others
