So here's my first go at computer art (after several of you suggested I try it in my last post). This is done entirely with a mouse in MS paint. It was done over a slow night shift where I work. Original format was as .bmp, I reformatted it to .jpg to post here.

Comments/crits welcome. Thanks,

Radiater.

Not bad for MS Paint, I think you could do some neat stuff in Photoshop.

Besides, we gotta show everyone that you don't need a wacom to do good stuff

I posted something earlier but EBE knocked it down, no biggie...
but it's cool that the pic is "cartoon-esque"
Long live Photoshop cartoons!!!

The John Holmes mustache rocks.

it made me laugh. in a good way. i like the style, man that would take me a while to do with the mouse/mspaint combo. do you have any of your art scanned in or posted?

I finally figured out what bothered me about this picture. His eyebrows are too small. They're so supposed to be much bushier (may edit it next time I'm on a graveyard shift).

Sublimate - Thanks. I think I'll try to figure out Photoshop before I get a wacom.

A.Buttle - I'll have to tell him (my supervisor) that his mustache looks like John Holmes. He'll appreciate that.

Canistr - yes I finally have a site. I've never made a web site before so it's quite novice (made with a little help from MS Frontpage). You can check it out at: http://www3.telus.net/radiater
It has some of my other artwork on it.

Tell me what you think.

Thanks,

Radiater.

Dammit that subject is misleading! I expected this:

this is a quick sketch for everyone who thought that this is what the topic is all about. :P

That's a cool pic BTW, sometimes it's fun to work with limitations and see what you can do.

Hey Kaput,

Pretty funny. The alternative interpretation didn't occur to me when I came up with that title for this thread. Actually, there was a thread earlier about artwork done strictly with mice (computer ones that is

), that I was hoping to post into. However, it had been pushed down quite far and I thought it would be easier just to restart the thread than look for the old one.

Anyway - love the 'mouse drawing' pic you posted!
