Let's draw a picture together (with prizes I guess)
20Take turns adding one line to this drawing and let's make something worthy of the lovure the gugenh- like a really good museum or whatever. Anyway save this picture, add a single line, and reupload it. And no forking; if two people go at the same time, their submissions will be merged.
Oh and I guess I can hand out some "official" prizes too since that seems to be the only way to get y'all participating around here.

hope for some cool JPEG rot by the end as well
@username Where we're going, we don't need pixels.
@username Eleven pictures in and we've changed dimensions six times and file formats four times. I don't think you'll have to wait long
@username idk what you mean…
@conandlibrarian Red-hot spear was what I was going for.
@conandlibrarian thanks for saving the say and enlarging our canvas!
@luvche21 that was a mistake, but I guess it was a good one!
@DrunkCat Ooh, thinking outside the box.
@sammydog01 Really curious where your subliminal marks keep coming from
@Moose I don't know what that means. Could you use smaller words?
@brhfl das too many lines :(
@DrunkCat but it's greatness haha
@brhfl Disqualified, too many lines!
@DrunkCat oh look at me not knowing how to read. whoops.
@brhfl I guess it's my fault
@Moose There, I added some more lines. I must need a nap.
@brhfl I love the DQ picture.
Not sure if disqualified from prizes or contributing at all, but I'm going to assume the former and try to get this back on track…
@brhfl Just the one picture was disqualified (ignored) from the chain. You can keep contributing
@stardate820926 If this doesn't go full 80s KungFury-style I'm gonna be disappoint. Where's @Barney, we need some purple in this.
@DrunkCat Barney gave up drawing for Lent.
@Barney Shall we let Harold draw something, then?
@sligett You betcha!
@brhfl Aww, purple.
Almost ready for the Guggenheim?
@KDemo ♪Send for me some purple ribbons, purple ribbons for my hair.♪
?
@ceagee BUNNY!!!!!!!!
What a twist!
@christinewas I had to do that 3 times because I was just a tiny bit too slow each time. Strangely exhausting. Maybe I will come back in the middle of the night.
@heartny heyy that's more than one line
@awk I was hoping nobody would notice. I'm skeptical about some of the other things being only one line.
@awk perhaps I shouldnt have deleted the single-line drawing that made it up a few seconds later. We could have pretended the rule-breaking didn't happen.
@christinewas upload again, someone can merge the changes or just continue from yours
@awk They overlap and might not work well together.
@christinewas It's just like a giant slingshot in a lake, it's fiiiiiiiine.
@christinewas all is fair in love and war and also art
@brhfl A new take on excalibur, perhaps? Less shiny and stabby, but a longer range.
@heartny wow, i was really hoping the sling shot was here to stay
@heartny we need more slingshot (like cow bell)
Now it's becoming a "find the differences" game.
Including the @christinewas/@heartny merge:
@brhfl ?
@KDemo :fish: !!! (still not vmp…)
This being the Internet and all, I'm surprised it has not gone into scatological, obscene or nazi direction.
@username I guess this is a family show. But I am surprised there are no cats. Isn't that what the internet is about?
@username Same. I almost said "let's be adults about this" in the OP but I was afraid I would jinx it.
@heartny Since when?
@sammydog01
http://shirt.woot.com/offers/the-internet-defined
@narfcake I meant the family part.
@sammydog01 Since even PG-13 allows fuck, I guess meh is family friendly enough.
@narfcake I fucking disagree that Meh is fucking family friendly. Fuck that.
@sammydog01 Yes ... family friendly.
(I was honestly a little surprised of its offering.)
@Mehrocco_Mole Go Ducks!
Vaped! Added the TV antenna.
This has been wonderful and cute and sweet. Ok, time for a snarky comment --
Second prize will be two D-Link routers.
Wow...
How do I make the whole picture smaller to add more space around it?
@DaveInSoCal Depends what software you're using? Though a better idea might be to make a larger canvas than the existing image, and paste the (relative to the canvas) smaller existing image in where you want it.
@brhfl what about on imgur ?
@ceagee I just learned that that was even possible a day or two ago, so I don't think I can be of much help there, sorry!
@brhfl Thanks anyways. What about @ELUNO or @ZenatWork ? Can you help us?
@ceagee I just use Paint (hax0r!) and paste the picture there, and then I expand the canvas.
how I post my picture?
@tomakellogg I use imgur.com. Basically I select-all/copy in mspaint and just paste into the imgur site.
@tomakellogg I use tinypic.com. If you don't mind having to deal with a lot of pop-ups, it's free and seems to load faster than imgur.
this could go on like a never ending chaotic fractal
@username You say that like it's a bad thing!
@username but is a chaotic fractal really a meme for "systems often become chaotic when there is feedback present"
@awk wow, i scrolled down for a bit, this has become somewhat strange, btu w/e
The most current picture is frightening.
(a little cleanup, one long white scribble)
help ! I wanted it off to the left side(smaller w/ space) and rotated as is. Can't figure it out
@ceagee you can edit and rotate in imgur
@thismyusername That's way more than one line!
@ELUNO whoops are those the rules? rofl
that stamp needed canceled...
@thismyusername lol, I don't think it matters that much anymore... Moose left us here to die!
@ELUNO The rules went out the window awhile ago, but somehow things have stayed somewhat coherent. This is the definition of orderly chaos.
@Moose - Sounds like a ticket to go rogue. Thanks!!
@KDemo Orderly rogue!
ok, i mentioned the strange shit before, i think that was before strange was a thing...
@DMlivezey -
"Oh, you can’t help that," said the Cat: "we’re all mad here. I’m mad. You’re mad."
"How do you know I’m mad?" said Alice.
"You must be," said the Cat, "or you wouldn’t have come here.”
ok corrected the cancel as one line per ELUNOs pointing out the rules... doesn't look like Irk much anymore (not that it did too much before either )
@Mehrocco_Mole vaped
@DMlivezey Oops, my bad. Deleted the wrong one.
@Mehrocco_Mole
scary, or wired, or weird, i became cod (not cold)
@heartny whiskers on cat AND eyes on moose ?
Unvaped
@awk Aww :( Dad(aism) hates Moose?
@smartr Man, Manchester's police sure know how to have fun.
I miss the carrot guy
@awk Carrot guy!
@awk
@Thumperchick
@Ignorant yes! or even
@ceagee i wish i knew how to use this draw program so i could stab pic with carrot and create bacon
octopig
@awk why not pigtopus?
@Thumperchick the pigtopus is a totally different, and honestly much more terrifying animal:
@brhfl
@awk I think you used more than one line.
@awk If your angry lady ref was in reference to my lines — I used one, but several fills. The moon would not have a tail if I weren't playing by the rules ;)
@heartny - Besides that, vertical and horizontal lines are mixed. Pfffft.
@heartny she's mostly curves tbh.
@brhfl fills are just really fat lines when you get down to it.
My god it's full of stars!
@heartny
what the fuck
what the fuck is carrot man
How OCD am I that the one ear is driving me crazy with the rest of this stuff going on?
@sammydog01 Who said it was an ear?!?!
@ELUNO Me. I said it was an ear.
@sammydog01 I guess you are our official ear commissioner then. Congrats!
@sammydog01 I drew the first one and it was definitely an ear.
@ELUNO THE END
Well done (mostly) everyone. That went in directions I never would have guessed.
Anyone want to start over?
@Moose Wait. Don't some of the artists get prizes? Or did you trick them?
@sligett He tricked us?!?!
@sligett You win "Most Impatient and Pessimistic Person Who Didn't Even Contribute A Picture"
@Moose You're starting a new game without finishing the first by doling out the awards.
You win the prize for "I make up the rules as I see fit because I can't explain why I started a new game without ending the first so I'll attempt to publicly shame you if you notice" award. :(
@therealjrn Hey man life isn't all about awards. They don't hand out the Heisman after the first game.
You win "Most Likely To Complain About Rules In A Thread That Gave Up On Rules A Long Time Ago"
@Moose Yay! Do I get a participation ribbon too? :beams:
@therealjrn Maybe after you participate. I don't have any ribbons, but I do have hats!
@Moose - Please start a new thread if new drawing, this takes too long to load. Thankyouverymuch.
@KDemo Will do (maybe). In the meantime, I find settings like these help:
Basically hides everything you've already seen.
@Moose where is this setting found?
@Moose Thank you. I win! (I thought I thanked you yesterday, but I must not have pressed "Say it".)
@username Here is a direct link. For future reference, click "Account" at the top, then "My Account," and then click "Edit" next to "Forum Settings" at the bottom.
@Moose I would like to contribute a picture.
@brhfl
@mikey Hey now, this could go any number of ways!
@ELUNO @sammydog01 Commissioner, this lady (?) needs some ears!
@ELUNO I couldn't agree more.
I take my new title seriously.
@sammydog01 That's more like it! (Cheek ears are interesting!)
Somthing is missing between these posts.... :(
Failure To Follow Rules
@JerseyFrank Of course, I only read the rules after I create the masterpiece (Sorry)
@JerseyFrank @Moose Rulebreaker! Rulebreaker here!!! :frownyface:
Not sure if
@awk
Hmmm, interesting, how long have had these repressed feelings?
@KDemo Ah! I'll merge.
@ELUNO
@moose This is an awesome idea. I'm having loads of fun. Thanks!
Try new Hallucination Crunch! Now with more Visions!
(You don't need to turn and into graphics you guys, it looks weird)
@awk - Those aren't the Lucky Charms I remember.
@KDemo
(I was going to edit this picture to make it look more demented, but I don't think I need to...)
1 Line!
@jjohns71 One majestic line!
The RRS Boaty McBoatface
@lisaviolet lol I read about that the other day. I should ask the internet to name my first-born.
@ELUNO Poopy McPoopants yw
OCD edit
@awk uh oh can you now merge it ? sorry
(inc. @awk's merge)
@ELUNO I'm not sure what's worse; sneaking up on a blind goat to milk it, or blinding a goat to make blind goat milk.
@Thumperchick Goats are very tricky to sneak up on. It is basically only feasible to do so on blind goats. 99% of all the goat milk consumed in the US comes from them.
Blinding a goat to make blind goat milk is a very cruel thought!
@heartny Okay, how's that one line?
@awk One big line, shading and dots. It looks weird without the shading.
(merged the last two)
@awk Thank you for keeping the speaker dock, even though it didn't completely follow the roolz :-)
@heartny Rules? RULES?
@brhfl - Carrots!
Somehow the picture parameters are shrinking. Does it seem much smaller to anyone else?
@KDemo I think it's become wider about three times or so, and since the scaling is based on a maximum display width, a wider aspect ratio will make for an overall smaller end result in here.
@heartny It was the baby! (Gotta love him!) Not Barney!
@ELUNO Baby Barney, maybe?
@heartny This Barney was never an innocent baby.
@ELUNO Whoa, that's no innocent Barney. But I'll bet our @Barney wouldn't do anything of the sort.
@heartny He still loves him as long as he is purple.
@ELUNO I don't like that picture you posted.
@Barney It's an innocent picture. Get your mind out of the gutter. :'(
A kinder, gentler baby Barney :-)
@heartny
@stardate820926 Goat! Milk him!
@heartny, @heartny, @heartny - Always the rebel.
@KDemo Obviously a rebel without a cause.
Being a rebel.
@heartny I guess so ! Green dot madness. There was not even any attempt to follow the rules -- or what's left of them !
@heartny So, is that a Totoro catbus?
@awk I would like to see them try to make that into a flower!
@ELUNO - What, that flashlight?
@KDemo here you go again, bending the laws of physics!
Added one really, really long overlapping line.
Added 7 lines, but they were all white.
@awk So it's like finding an Easter egg that hasn't been dyed?
@heartny It's like looking at Rauschenberg's White Painting while listening to John Cage's 4′33″.
@awk Or maybe the Beatles White Album?
To ruin the surprise for anyone who can't find them all (or, I suppose, anyone who wants to undo @awk's work):
@brhfl hmmm, I could sell this for a lot of money
@awk I just realized the white lines were for an OCD thing.
@ELUNO Oops! I posted after this.
Is this officially dead?!?! Where are our prizes?!?!
@ELUNO I hope it is not dead. I have been away for a few days, I was hoping to get back into it.
@ELUNO I went out of town for awhile, I'll get to prizes shortly. Y'all can keep drawing crap if you want to though!
@conandlibrarian @Moose Heh, it seems we were all away this week.
@ELUNO this made me laugh and stumped me. I don't know what to add to this.
@Thumperchick lol :)
those are supposed to be khakis haha
@heartny
BUMP
@ELUNO What the hell is a PNG file?
@sammydog01 It is the official image format of Papua New Guinea
fin
@Thumperchick Roll the credits?
@ELUNO let's ask @moose
@Thumperchick Wee. I feel accomplished on my additions to that one. :)
@Thumperchick @eluno Keep it up (or start over) if you want, it has gotten too weird for me to keep up with but who am I to stomp on fun? I have made a list of who I will grant a prize to, I might get around to shipping them this week but who knows!
@Moose It's certainly worthy of the lovure or the gugenh-
@Moose Wee! I think we should start fresh.
May I start us fresh?
@juststephen - Will it start with the original one line per turn rules?
@KDemo it seemed like that was mostly abandoned early on and people were doing "minor additions". I'm game for going back to that, if everyone else was and it was consistent..
@juststephen - You're right, that Boaty McBoatface has sailed. meh.
I can predict what's next.
@juststephen Hmmm. Should this merge with the one I just posted? It needs purple.
@juststephen You predicted wrong!
@heartny @barney and I love purple! Off to bed.
@ELUNO Hint: This one starts with a P...
@ELUNO can you please merge. I got stuck in Imgur overload --the thing spun around and around and around......and I finally had to download and then upload my picture to get a correct link. I will go insane if I have to go back there right now. Thank you.
@ceagee ah! I'm on my phone right now. Feel free to ignore mine for now!
@ceagee Try tinypic.com, if you don't mind seeing advertising.
@heartny I actually use that for photos, but have never tried drawing there, I didn't know I could.
Will use that next time and check it out. Thanks.
@heartny no editing/art on tiny pics. you do on your pc... I have to find where to do that on my mac. Hey I only learn what I use. I guess time to learn something new.
(inc. merge)
@brhfl thanks!
these are works of art. Beautiful, beautiful works of art.
@legendornothing Certainly worthy of the Lovure, or held up by a magnet on a refrigerator door at the very least.
@legendornothing I was going to fix your picture for you, but it took me to a page of boobs and no way for me to separate the picture from the boobs.
Serves me right for trying. But now I bet a bunch click to see the page....
@ceagee I'm sorry it just had ayy lmao scrawled across the top in cursive
@legendornothing if you want to join in, why don't you use imgur or tiny pictures ?
I don't even forum
This is still going??
(Anybody here ever watch Layer Tennis? This reminded me of that a little bit. Two artists passing a photoshop file back and forth, 15 minutes per round, something like that.)
@ceagee I uploaded that into the image modification program deepart mentioned in that other thread (it truncated it though to a square).
@Kidsandliz I am officially scared of our creation.
@Kidsandliz looks like it was found in the Lascaux Caves in France.
@ceagee Actually I mixed it with a Chinese water color
@stardate820926 That is one weird cursive h connector!
@ELUNO I agree but it was like the 5th or 6th attempt and I gave up haha
@brhfl lol. "Flip" a coin.
@ELUNO Right, "fleep" it.
@brhfl more likely that you throw out that coin bc you are cheap !
@heartny Now I want some ice cream
I got my prize (addressed from Morningsave, for even more confusion) today! Very thanks!
@mikey wHAR'S THE PIC?
@therealjrn I didn't want to spoil the surprise, but suffice to say it's both functional and official.
@mikey Something like this ? https://meh.com/forum/topics/well-its-official
@ceagee no, mine has my name
@mikey Congrats! I haven't gotten anything, so I guess my works of art weren't deemed Louvre-worthy. But at least I had fun.
@heartny baby arm !
it just sort of shrunk itself. ( My mac screen is on last legs, so using chrome book. ) Go with it ! or switch it back. I was just adding some worms.
@sammydog01 Sure, skip mine why dontcha? :'(
@ELUNO Are you sure you didn't skip yours?
@sammydog01 Maybe my whole life has been a whole skip?
@ELUNO @sammydog01 Now, now. I think it's time to kiss and make up and merge. I'd do it , but I don't know how. ( the merge part)
@ceagee
Maybe I downloaded the wrong one- why don't you skip mine, modify @ELUNO's, and post that?
@sammydog01 All done!
@ELUNO
@heartny impressive turtle. She deserves a treat, but I don't know what turtles eat.
@ceagee Turtle food from Petco. Comes in a little shaker can. Probably contains bugs and worms and other yummy creatures.
@ceagee For a second there I thought that was something else...
@heartny Hey. one hat at a time ! Well I can play that game too ;-)
You missed a few :-)
This thread brings back sad memories since I never won a prize :’(
@ELUNO somewhere along the way it all went to hell.
@jbartus I like to think I contributed to the hellnish of it…
/giphy I wish I wish I wish
