- retral, on 10/12/2007, -57/+10Awesome, but why such thin tires?
- kokorhekkus, on 10/12/2007, -6/+48@retreal
Low profile tires. Having a low profile will give a much stiffer tire, less "give" when turning or accelerating. Downside: not comfy. Of course most people have them to project a high-performance image and not to use them. - dickeytk, on 10/12/2007, -18/+4lo' pro's bro
- gimianame, on 10/12/2007, -20/+13wonder what he can do with adobe illustrator
- retral, on 10/12/2007, -25/+5I know what they are, but even for low profiles they seem ridiculously thin.
- Enjoikr3w, on 10/12/2007, -5/+113its just a ***** picture. they can be thin if he wants them to be.
- Supaman223, on 10/12/2007, -21/+5"mad skillz"
With no life - kraker88, on 10/12/2007, -16/+1"Getting this good with MS Paint is like becoming a world famous kazoo player."
- trylleklovn, on 10/12/2007, -18/+4I think we have seen enough of these videos..
And btw, am i the only one who thinks i might have used a drawpad for that first scetch? - theonlybigboss, on 10/12/2007, -2/+19I declare sorcery
- lagartoflojo, on 10/12/2007, -5/+70I can't believe it's not Photoshop!™
- MillionsLivio, on 10/12/2007, -31/+3Not really, this video isn't impressive in the least. It's ignorance, why use MS Paint when Photoshop is easily accessable. Honestly this could be done much faster, not to mention better with Illustrator and/or Photoshop.
- Mulo, on 10/12/2007, -2/+28The software has very little to do with it. The software isn't important, the artist is. Don't forget that many great works of art were done without computers.
- hackajar, on 10/12/2007, -9/+1Is it me, or is that a Scion tC that he drew all tricked out?
http://www.kpbj.com/images/automotive/2005ScionTC1708_LG.jpg - Zippo, on 10/12/2007, -6/+3Did somebody say shenanigans?... oh wait, no, sorcery... nevermind.
- returnofmalv, on 10/12/2007, -3/+2"I can't believe it's not Photoshop!™"
That's how videogame artists did it back in the day. - heffer2k02, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1*Loads paint*
Right... Where to begin...
- Linkage155, on 10/12/2007, -118/+2Isn't this video fake? Read it on another website. But either way, awesome skills.
- MadMan6680, on 10/12/2007, -5/+111How the hell do you make a fake a video like this?
- venicerocco, on 10/12/2007, -54/+7Yeah, it's easily faked... He started with a complete image then deleted bits one by one and played the video back in reverse.
;o} - aaronm67, on 10/12/2007, -6/+47It's actually a fairly popular skill. People call it "pixeling". I used to play a game called Runescape, and it was very popular to make pixel signatures for forums, and some people spend a lot of time learning to do it, and some people are pretty amazing at it.
Not saying I can do it, and not saying everyone is as good as him, just saying that its pretty popular for people to learn to do, and it's probably real.
Look at this guy's latest work, it shows much more skill then the car does.
http://www.pixelgod.net/img/gallery/angry_mage.jpg - ratsoid, on 10/12/2007, -18/+2@ venicerocco - do you really think someone will be that desperate?
- vhold, on 10/12/2007, -3/+9Well, I think this passes the "deleted bits" test for detecting fake because that'd mean he was drawing white splines and ovals over the existing ones. That'd be hard to begin with, and nearly impossible unless the original drawing was done with the same tools.. so.. it makes faking it harder then doing it for real at that point.
Oh, I guess even then that makes no sense because then it'd be erasing more then you see, you can tell it's definitely adding black, not removing white.. - ButtholeSurfer, on 10/12/2007, -6/+32didn't you guys know... everything on the internet is fake... digg.com isn't even real... it's fake too...
/sarcasm - venicerocco, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Obviously he didn't erase it bit by bit. Jeeeeez, people.
- Thaddeus, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10@aaronm67
New Artwork: Angry Mage
Tools: Photoshop
From his front page ;-) - look4alec, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6actually the mage picture mentioned above was made using photoshop, and the difference is noticable. Still, good skill, and good to see he knows about photoshop too...
- Locke40, on 10/12/2007, -17/+9i hate when people write "/sarcasm" at the end of their posts, we know you are being sarcastic. its not like i read your comment, then it was a big surprise to learn you were being sarcastic. if you have to tell us you are being sarcastic, then theres no point in even being sarcastic. please stop doing this, its ***** annoying
- aaronm67, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4Heh, my bad, I realized that was photoshop after the comment timer ran out. It's still damn impressive, but yeah, he still has some impressive pixel art.
- CasaMan, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2If you'd fake it you need a scource image wich somebody had to make. So at least somebody had the skills, why not him/her?
- avihappy, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5@Locke40
If i don't put /sarcasm at the end of a comment that may be offensive (but i am genuinely being sarcastic), i will have -100 diggs before you can say sarcasm. - detonate, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5You're not being sarcastic, you're being facetious. Look it up.
- baugles, on 10/12/2007, -25/+9Dugg for NIN!
- swiftekho, on 10/12/2007, -16/+3/drool
Enough said - otheruser, on 10/12/2007, -4/+75Looks like he was using some kind of pen-tablet. In which case it's not so much an issue of being skilled in MS Paint as it is an issue of being a skilled in drawing. So even still, very impressive.
- gameguy43, on 10/12/2007, -2/+10nonetheless, it's interesting to see how the shininess is produced on the pixel level. i've tried to create a similar effect with pixel drawing before, and believe me it is not easy. it's quite a bit easier, at least more intuitive, to create this effect with pen and paper, a bit more impressive to see it done pixel by pixel.
- jwyles, on 10/12/2007, -4/+12I would like to see you use a WACOM tablet and be as skilled to draw even the simplest of stickmen :o)
- vhold, on 10/12/2007, -3/+4It shows extraordinary skill outside of the tablet because he's doing things without layers, gradient fills, etc. I mean, if it was only demonstrating tablet skill, what do we even have more advanced drawing programs for?
- hambend, on 10/12/2007, -5/+5Pretty sure he wasn't using a pen of any kind. If you watch closely, you see him using paint's three click curve tool (two clicks for a line, one click for the bend). Watch him putting down the outline of the car, you can see it best there.
- DucksofAnaheim, on 10/12/2007, -8/+1Maybe he used a Mac tablet LOL
- skoles, on 10/12/2007, -2/+14Does MSPaint have a pen tool? The video looks like he's getting a lot of arcs by doing that. And by "pen tool" I mean the bezel pen.
- bloqmon, on 10/12/2007, -2/+17Looks more like the squiggly line tool.
- tnoy, on 10/12/2007, -1/+24Paint calls it the "curve" tool
- drewskiMD, on 10/12/2007, -96/+3how many times are people going to get excited over this?
buried in lameness- nickerbocker, on 10/12/2007, -3/+42Speaking of buried for lameness...
- Switchnig, on 10/12/2007, -71/+5college humor dot com was soooo 4 years ago
- Halifax1, on 10/12/2007, -2/+51So was typing urls like that.
- skryingbreath, on 10/12/2007, -22/+5It's called a Wacom Tablet, I'll show you later.
- pronouncable, on 10/12/2007, -3/+19Wacom isn't the only company that makes tablets.
- ApeInago, on 10/12/2007, -2/+5mspaint's curve tool (which he used a lot), isn't very intuitive with a wacom ;)
- Philbert, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7While Wacom isn't the only company, they're so far ahead of the rest they might as well be.
- molochi, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3Yep, my Aiptek tablet sucks donkey balls (but I used to it doing that.) Get a Wacom. Oh, and only try to draw cars in MS Paint if you're also into ball gags or if some one bets you that you can't.
- Bean945, on 10/12/2007, -4/+22...and then he discovered photoshop...
- TrainingName, on 10/12/2007, -12/+4Wasn't this posted yesterday?
- olddirtycr, on 10/12/2007, -1/+207 hours 27 minutes ago
Depending on your timezone yes and no.
- olddirtycr, on 10/12/2007, -1/+207 hours 27 minutes ago
- pdawg90, on 10/12/2007, -2/+39"like becoming a world famous kazoo player."
I resent that.- molochi, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1Yeah, I was kinda offended by that. A pencil is even less complicated than a kazoo. This is more like painting with jackhammer... and doing it very well.
- Shayer, on 10/12/2007, -11/+5theres also this one.....
http://digg.com/videos_educational/Sport_car_drawn_entirely_with_MS_Paint - AmishRefugee, on 10/12/2007, -11/+17WOOT for NIN, love that song
and very nice work, whoever that was- sooperdooper, on 10/12/2007, -3/+20The song for the video should have been done by a world-famous kazoo player.
- CBTF, on 10/12/2007, -9/+3Off topic, but I saw that song performed live. NiN puts on an amazing show :)
- SLYK, on 10/12/2007, -6/+4thank you thank you thank you..i was wondering who that song was by..
what's the name of the song/album?? - acetv, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4It's from the With Teeth album, called "Right Where It Belongs".
- Jimgress, on 10/12/2007, -7/+7I don't think it's incredibly hard to do this with the help of a tablet, but I love how well the video was made.
I haven't seen this before, and dugg for an oddly perfect use of NIN.- milomilomilo, on 10/12/2007, -8/+2what was the name of that song?
- gharding, on 10/12/2007, -4/+6@milomilomilo:
It was at the bottom of the screen. "Right where it belongs" - pants428, on 10/12/2007, -4/+3"Right Where It Belongs" from With Teeth... It had the name at the very beginning of the video...
- ninxmz, on 10/12/2007, -5/+2Right where it belongs, off the With Teeth album.
Heh, beaten twice in the span of 3 minutes. - ApeInago, on 10/12/2007, -4/+1Using a tablet would just making using the curve tool harder...
a tablet is for drawing... he was point and clicking the lines out.
that was ms paint.. not photoshop ;)
- gxcdesign, on 10/12/2007, -7/+7Lol I'll stick with my Adobe Illustrator
- kavaliro, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4Illustrator's not all it's cracked up to be. It's interface is clunky and non-intuitive. Inkscape beats it like a red-headed stepchild, IMHO. Not to mention Xara Extreme, which totally wipes the floor with it, and for 80% of even a professional's tasks, Xara Extreme wipes the floor with Photoshop, too.

- bwpayne, on 10/12/2007, -15/+9What is even more amazing is it in real-time.
- cjmemay, on 10/12/2007, -5/+0I thought that was funny.
Oh well.
- cjmemay, on 10/12/2007, -5/+0I thought that was funny.
- rideroyals, on 10/12/2007, -7/+2This is a very good video. Bet he does something with auto cad.
- DjDimitrious, on 10/12/2007, -7/+2Yeah, skilled artist, but that was definitely done with a tablet pc or wacom... :)
- Rikushix, on 10/12/2007, -7/+2Very skilled with the Wacom tablet. I'd like to see someone try that using their mouse.
- Zoomrix, on 10/12/2007, -8/+3I've seen it done... nothing surprising here.
- Somniis, on 10/12/2007, -9/+1No way in hell that can be done with a regular mouse. Moreso drawing ability rather than the ability to use MSPaint.
- meekar, on 10/12/2007, -5/+4he still has to trace the outline accurately and smoothly and then color it in MSPaint, not an easy feat
- CBTF, on 10/12/2007, -4/+5Ive seen things like this drawn in MS paint right infront of me using a normal mouse... it is possible.
- mancat, on 10/12/2007, -22/+7Get rid of the ***** music.
- gxcdesign, on 10/12/2007, -16/+9Every Digg video seems to have ***** music
- paulmdx, on 10/12/2007, -6/+8Even better: add a mute button.
- dopyoman, on 10/12/2007, -9/+7I liked the music. I just wish I knew what the band was called. Maybe someone here knows.
- eolite, on 10/12/2007, -5/+5I liked the music too ...
BTW the song is Right Where It Belongs by Nine Inch Nails
- d17182, on 10/12/2007, -8/+0The circles inside the hubcaps are a little messed up, but yeah, this is way better than I could have done.
- secleinteer, on 10/12/2007, -3/+6For those of you interested, the artist's site is http://www.pixelgod.net/
- isewise, on 10/12/2007, -4/+5From pixelgod.net, the url at the end of the video,
http://pixelgod.net/img/gallery/carfake.jpg
Same style car, but with a little more work. - Zoomrix, on 10/12/2007, -11/+4This is called Pixel Art. And really he was sort of cheating using the bend line tool.
Real pixel artist use only the pencil and bucket tool, sometimes the line tool and end up with much more realistic pieces than this.
This is nice anyway. Props to him.- spudnic, on 10/12/2007, -3/+6It's pixel art if you do what you outlined. But he didn't, so it isn't. Nor was he claiming it be
- arkmtech, on 10/12/2007, -18/+1All that work for a bitmap? :-( What what a terrible thing a mind is to waste...
It could've been done in a vector-drawing app (i.e. Illustrator) in less time and produced a scalable, fully-editable, better-quality image. Great work and all, but really, what's it worth?- olddirtycr, on 10/12/2007, -3/+14You missed the whole point of the drawing.
- vhold, on 10/12/2007, -1/+9Uhm. It's art. Artists look for different mediums all the time. I think the image has a very distinct and cool-retro style by virtue of the tool he used.
And in this case, by creating that video, the process of the creation is art as well.
- KniteWulf, on 10/12/2007, -11/+9I teared up a little. That was truly a work of art.
- Halifax1, on 10/12/2007, -16/+7Shut up.
- TheZorch, on 10/12/2007, -8/+4Impressive considering it was done with MS Paint, and that program is not known for its versitility.
- tnoy, on 10/12/2007, -7/+12Neither is a pen and paper, but look at what people can do with that.
- nicksource, on 10/12/2007, -15/+3Submitted it 2 days ago...
http://www.digg.com/videos_people/Who_needs_Photoshop_Most_amazing_car_drawn_in_MS_Paint
Is there a trick to get things Dugg after several ones have being submitted before?- KniteWulf, on 10/12/2007, -2/+14Don't use huge titles that people won't read.
- GeorgeStone, on 10/12/2007, -9/+0http://www.digg.com/videos_animation/Superb_Car_Drawing_In_MS_Paint_Time_Lapse
And me 2 days before that... gay. - aberrantfunk, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1Humor helps too. Dugg for the bit about the kazoo player.
- MrSunshine, on 10/12/2007, -3/+4Nothing special, he just draws the oldschool way like thousands of demosceners did before him without tablet:
http://gfxzone.org/gallery_personal.html- ever, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6You hit the nail on the head. Demoscene had a lot more impressive stuff in the late 80's already, and the tools used were a lot less sophisticated than MS Paint :).. Not to mention game graphics in the early 90's, etc. etc. And now a guy who can draw a fairly simple picture of a car is called an MS Paint God. No digg.
- popfrogs, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Yep, I remember doing art for C64 demos was much harder than this. I placed _every single pixel_ by hand and it took hours just to do a simple logo. Not only that but dealing with an FLi editor and trying to choose which colors will coexist happily in an 8x8 pixel grid was like playing pixel sudoku while drawing. Nightmarish.
I still give people like this props, because there are still a ton of pixel artists out there. They usually find good jobs making icons for cellphones and other embedded hardware that use tiny images.
- Miyazaki, on 10/12/2007, -3/+50I don't like to brag, but I'm not so bad myself...
http://img48.imageshack.us/img48/9519/imtherealmasterja8.jpg - Lyph4, on 10/12/2007, -5/+2Where's the massive wing and speed stripe?
- Lamity, on 10/12/2007, -7/+1Did that cat on LSD draw that?
- estomped, on 10/12/2007, -8/+5Digg for NIN and mad skills
- StatusQuoRules, on 10/12/2007, -4/+2That guy has too much time on his hands
- super_spyder, on 10/12/2007, -8/+3FOR THE LOVE OF SCIENCE! Some one get this man a copy of illustrator!
- LustHog, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1The truth of the matter is that he really did draw that. But he draws that stuff for a living. He's done thousands of drawings like that. He knows all the tricks that make it look impressive, and he can do it fast cause he does it all the time. Drawing that car was a simple task for him.
- CzescToJa, on 10/12/2007, -8/+3OLD OLD OLD OLD, that was here barely 2 weeks ago. stop posting the same ***** X/times.
- 15charmaxwtf, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7At least 672 people don't aggree with you. Do you walk into a shop and complain about the stuff their offering, no you don't, you just don't buy it. So why don't you apply the same logic and not read it!
- whymanwhy, on 10/12/2007, -7/+1Cool now he has a picture of a car he made in ms paint!!!
also photoshoped - 3vno, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4pronouncable,
" Wacom isn't the only company that makes tablets."
No, but their tablets are the best. - bherenotthere, on 10/12/2007, -4/+0Someone had to say it "Looks Photoshopped"
- mushk, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5How many of you ran MS Paint after seeing this video?
I did.- joel8x, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1I couldn't help myself.
- Indeed, on 10/12/2007, -3/+5Something even more oldschool:
http://www.goodbrush.com/hirez_pgs/macpaint/macpaint.htm - MuTeD, on 10/12/2007, -6/+4this guy is terrible..
- N1XUK, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Reminds me of watching street artists using chalk on the pavement/sidewalk, or spray paint on walls. Just because the tools maybe simple and uncomplicated doesnt mean the artist and his work isnt!
- MrTea, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1over nine thousand hours with ms paint
- tjdoom, on 10/12/2007, -4/+2Another damn detailed car that people without skill think is a masterpiece? I've got a friend who's been doing this kind of detail in MS Paint for years now - he was too cheap to pay for Photoshop.
- JrGhoull, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1i would be impressed with this if they guy did it with a mouse, but if he did it on a tablet pc, which i suspect is what he did (if you look at the beginning, the way the outline of the car is scribbed on....it has a much more hand drawn feel than what one would do with a mouse) then this isnt too impressive. i mean, he did a good job, a damn good job, (god knows i could never do this) and he seems to really know how to use MS paint, but there are better artists out there, many of which i'm sure use MS paint for its simplicity and ease. so basically, good artist, good drawin, but unless done with a mouse, i'm not too impressed.
- p4r0l3, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1Saw this yesterday on collegehumor, this guy has some amazing talent!
