It is a warm summer morning. You're standing outside the main gate of STARTING TOWN, saying your last goodbyes to your parents. As a man in his mid twenties, you feel it's time to leave your parent's basement and finally head out into the real world. Also coincidentally your parents are kicking you out of their house because you've never had a job and you haven't gone outside in the past six months.

There is a GUARD by the MAIN GATE, and the ROAD behind you most assuredly leads to adventure, whores, booze, and riches.

Pic 2 of 2, you can post now

Ah, Jackson! Truly the manliest of names! Your shillelagh glimmers with the power of a million Samuels at the thought of the name, and you muster the gayest :3 face that you can.

(I'd like to use this opportunity to bring up a few more things while we're still getting started. Multiple suggestions are allowed, and I'll pic from the best one. Try to limit them to five or so. Also, if I post a picture with the phrase (Pic X of Y) beneath it, please wait for me to finish posting. Thanks!)

Ah, a mage! Bitches love a man who can spin the threads of time and warp reality into his own will, let alone one with a suave English accent. And that orange suits you nicely.

One last step before you set out on your quest: What is your name?

Why yes, yes it is.

Oh, and just a reminder if I wasn't clear: DO NOT POST YOUR ART IN THIS THREAD.

Here's how this is supposed to go:
I present you with a picture
You tell me what you want the character to do next
I choose a command, then present you all with a picture based on that command
You tell me what you want the character to do next
I choose a command, then present you all with a picture based on that command
Repeat endlessly.

It is the middle ages. Swords and sorcerers are part of every day life. Your meals consist of adventure, and you poop wanderlust. There's riches to be had somewhere, and it's your job to find them, spend them, get drunk, and probably die from being crushed to death in a orgy with the highest-class wenches gold can afford.

But before any of that can begin, you need to create your character!

You still need:
-A race
-A class
-A color

Your stats may also be modified, but you can only add points to one stat if you subtract them from another.

Hello, one and all, and welcome to Epic Quest! the NG Choose-Your-Own MSPaint Adventure! This is a choose-your-own adventure, much in the style of the original MSPaint Adventures! Basically, I will post an image, and then you suggest what the character does, along the style of an old text-based game. (Think Deliver That Fulp! if you're unfamiliar).

Now, this is on a trial-basis. I know the suggestions are going to be rather short at times (Walk east, slay dragon, etc.), but don't spam the thread with them. I'm going to try to pic from the first few suggestions each time, and remember that each page is going to take some time to draw. If you see that some suggestions have already been made, then try to steer away from making more suggestions and towards conversation or whatever's relevant at the time.

Furthermore, keep up-to-date on what's going on. I'm going to have an archive of this all over here in my news post. Don't make suggestions for things that happened several pages ago, as that will make you look stupid.

And lastly, because this is going to be done mostly in paint, the moderators can lock this at any time if my quality of work dips below a certain arbitrary threshold. This whole project lies on a very thin line, SO DON'T FUCK IT UP OR SO HELP ME CHRIST....

Anyway, here we go!

I think my main problem is that I'm still kinda excited about being part of a big project like this, and I don't want to constrain myself to one thing (which kinda defeats the point of a sketchbook).

I should have something started by tonight.

I can take suggestions if you guys want to throw them out. I just don't know when I'll get to a scanner.

I live... across the PA border. Assuming this is being mailed to the NG office.

A good level?

Here's some more that I've done. These were some of the first ones, and were much more referenced than the first two I posted.

Johnny Cash you are my god.

That's it, I'm going to bed.

I beleive the phrase you were looking for was "stream of consciousness", although I doubt a few posts on the internet merit any sort of literary analyzing.

It's like 7:30 am here. I should go to bed.

Also, poozy never IM's me. And I haven't even started my sketchbook tour thing.

And I'll never be an astronaut because I'm too tall.

Best response.

Nope.

I like skulls, and I don't know why. ESPECIALLY COLD, UNFEELING ROBOT SKULLS.

Pencil, pen, & paper.

By the by, feel free to hit me up with comments, criticisms, things of that nature. It's welcome and I'd definitely appreciate it. I may even do requests eventually.

I'm... not too great with faces. These are kinda old. I have some more old faces should you want to see them. I need a lot more practice on them.

This was for a sculpture class, actually. We had to draw so many faces for whatever reason, but because I'm an engineering student I got sidetracked and drew a guy with a tentacle instead of a jaw, and then what was originally supposed to be Robocop but turned into some generic space fantasy guy.

Pen & sketchbook paper

Done between customers at my job, by request of somebody I work with. Tried to draw like a fourth grader again, came out pretty good.

Pens & sketchbook paper.

Now that that's out of the way (thanks ReNaeNae), welcome to my art thread. I rarely if ever finish anything, so most of these are going to be little doodles that collect in my sketchbook or stuff that I do in paint. When possible, I'll try and fill you in on what mediums and media I use. I'm not an art student, so forgive me if I screw up the lingo or make up my own fantastical phrases to describe things.

I don't have ready access to a scanner right now, so updates are gonna be sporadic. I'd eventually like to get a tablet, but we'll see how that goes.

I make no guarantees of the future work-safeness of this thread.

First up, something recent. Pencil & sharpies, sketchbook paper.

GOD DAMMIT ART FORUM
YOU RUIN EVERYTHING.

If we say "pimp" enough, he'll post eventually.

I live in NY. I've been to or through: NJ, PA, NC, SC, MD, WV, VA, DE, OH, and IN.

I've also been to GA and FL, but I was too young to remember, and Ontario.

Because there are 5 new submissions a day on the front page, right?

Those are... pretty bad. It means you're slightly above average in writing, slightly below average in reading, and well below average in math.

And if you're going to point out a lot of little flaws and say "oh this sucks boo hoo", then I suggest you start with the first two, which were far from perfect.

It's the early stages of the war. John is essentially a celebrity, but he doesn't much rank. You think his men are going to be raising packs of dogs when they can barely feed themselves? They make finding food a big part of the movie. Dogs require a lot of food. Upon seeing the plans for the flesh-covered robot, and confirming that they do, in fact, exist, there's a good chance John's superiors would put some sort of dog rearing plan in place.

Had they not made this movie, nobody would have been upset. But now that they have, they're fucked up the first two films... because now when I see Kyles nightmare sequence all I'm going to think is "it's nothing like that"... which completly sucks.

There was some fighting that went on at night. I'm sure there's a reason they don't go out at night, which is probably why Reese has nightmares about night.

Are you sure about that... Kyle is Johns father. Kyle and John meet cause of Marcus. Kyle gets sent back in time because of John. John would have died before being able to send Kyle back if Marcus hadn't given up his heart. Marcus was a trap to try to kill both John and Kyle.

He was pretty important... you'd think they'd talk about all of this, or at least mention it in passing. Logically, If I was kyle, I'd tell Sarah to tell John that in 2018, I'd be living in LA and Marcus is a trap... making everything that happened in T4 non-existant and saving everybody a lot of trouble.

Logically, if you want to be a real bitch about the first movie, you'd tell Sarah that the apocalypse was going to happen in august 1997. Because that's when he tells her it's going to happen. You're dealing with time travel, there's a lot to be said about alternate timelines and things of that nature. As much as I despised T3, it still brought up some fair points.

Movie wise, it was a pointless aspect that didn't need to be added to the story... they could have still made a movie about the war, without creating the organ based trap robot built out of the remains of a death-row inmate. I found it all kind of silly.

I found it all kind of... unsettling.

He wouldn't have needed to worry about Marcus at all had Skynet just crushed Kyle instead of gently placing him in a holding cell. The movie should have ended at the Jeep sequence and man kind should have lost.

I'm pretty sure they were trying to lure John Connor to Skynet to kill the both of them, in the instance that the Kyle Reese sent back in time was a different Kyle Reese than the one in the movie, or used a pseudonym, or something retarded like that. Why they needed him alive, I have no idea. But without it, there wouldn't have been much of a movie.

It's the same reason they didn't send a nuclear bomb wrapped in flesh in the first movie to nuke Sarah and everyone else in the city.

It wasn't a terrible movie... it just wasn't worth paying any money for. Plus, I thought Christian Bale sucked as John Conor. He's not that great of an actor, if you ask me.

Yeah... I guess he made an okay transitional John Connor. The John Connor between whiny emo kid and hardened war general.
