I agree about GIMP's layout. I like Paint.NET, it has automatic support for pressure-sensitive tablets (if PS or GIMP has this feature I have no idea how to turn it on) and I like the colour window (seems trivial but I just take likings to things for no good reason sometimes). It's not very good at transparencies and selecting specific regions of an image though.

Well, half an hour was a bit of a lie. I really have no much time went into it as I did it very slowly in between reading the forum, doing programming for a college project and watching House. My original idea was in fact to have a Demoman about to get a crocket in the face a la the "Look Out, Adolf" US navy poster from WWII but I realised I would have to draw it with a mouse as my tablet is broken and I did not have the time. So I decided to look for good Soldier and maybe dead demo pics on Google Images. Pickings were slim. Eventually I just decided to use the medal picture. I did the recolouring in Paint.NET which does not have a replace colour tool, or a magnetic lasso, and its magic wand isn't great, so I had to select the areas by mouse with the normal lasso for the most part, which is really boring, so I did it between, as I said, reading the forum, watching House and programming.

It took a half hour because all I had was a half hour. I also just like that pic of the soldier with the cigar, and now I have a BLU version of it. No it's not very original or brilliant but I wanted to enter something. What would you have made in a half-hour?

Me too :(

Darkside, stop siding with that bastard Demoman and come over to BLU. I know you're a soldier at heart.

Darkside, I can't help but notice your profile has a certain redness to it.

Were you serious about the hat in the poetry thread? Just do what I did: Run down to Gamestop, preorder and use the code they give you. A quick hat without having to buy anything, and yes, it does look awesome on the Soldier.

"Tranform and roll out" and drink.
If you see an Autobot who can't fly flying, drink.
If you see two of the same character, drink.
If you see Armada, take three drinks.

There needs to be a Transformers drinking game. Is there one already? These are the rules I have so far:

You have a bottle of beer/wine/whatever in front of you. Note: A drink is defined as one mouthful of alcohol.
When you see a misc. animation error, take a drink.
If you see a transformer in the wrong colour scheme, take two drinks.
If it's one of the jets, take three drinks.
If it's a casset, take four drinks.
If there's three Starscreams/Thundercrackers/Skywarps/Acid Storms/etc on screen at once down the rest of the bottle.
If someone is speaking and no one's lips move, drink.
If someone speaks when a different character is moving his lips, drink twice.
It it's Starscream, take three drinks.
If Megatron orders a retreat, drink.
If Starscream orders a retreat, drink twice.
If Starscream attacks Megatron, drink three times.
If Megatron beats the crap out of Starscream, down your bottle.


Anything to add?

Are you happy now?

You're a joke.
