Hiya Guys
How about a creative Christmas competition... seeing as we all should have the programme "paint" on our computers, we should all be on a level playing field. The task is to design a Christmassey scene / card, but without cheating by importing graphics from other sources. Got it?
OK, the deadline is next Friday night (19/12/03... 9.00pm UK time), when I will submit a poll for us to vote on the winner. Extra marks for making your entry relevant to the Aus/NZ forum... Have fun guys... multiple submissions allowed by the same user name (so that the kids can have a go too)!

Here's mine! (Took about 20 minutes... come on guys!!!)

Good idea larissa!..

as tempting as this is, i shall have to gracefully pull out of the competition. I'd be to tempted to cheat and use one of the many chrissy cards i've created of the last 13 years....

loved your dinosaur though. ... it was a dinosaur right?

Can't see Larissa's picture

I don't have the right application. I think it cause I have an Apple Mac.

a mac! :scared: (don't tell anyone but i've got one too! )

here's larissa's image for all you mac owners out there.

(hope you don't mind larissa)

Thanks, that's a great picture, sure it's going to put me to shame

But isn't it a Kangoroo or didn't I get the joke

hehe i think it is a kangoroo! I honestly thought for some strange reason it was a dinosaur though! I thought it was strange, painting a dinosaur on a christmas image, but hey! who am i to say what's right or wrong? if larissa wanted to paint a dinosaur then why not go for it!! ....

...ok It was early, i'd only just got to work and still trying to wake up....

really sorry larissa..

*hides in the dark corner in shame*

pmsl no offence!!!!
Come on - any other attempts guys???

lol what is it?

Here is my entry - has taken me HOURS as I am crap and have never used the paint programme before.

Never mind - better than doing the work I was supposed to be doing this afternoon!

Merry Christmas!!

Am I the only person on this forum who hasn't got a clue what you are all talking about, need to get my computuer manual out and have a good look through and find my paintbox???? as soon as I have a spare 72 hours I will do it, have to get hubbie to do a technicial Xmas card thingy, does my paintbox come with a glass of water to wash my brush aftewards??? ( joke )

Sorry, I'm also clueless, will have ago though, if I can find where I need to be!

Just going slightly off topic for a second, has anyone had a dabble with corel painter (it used to be metacreations)? if you like getting your brushes wet you'd love it!! you can even dip your brush in water or smudge your charcoals with it! It's a stonking bit of software to play with, you need a tablet type device to get the best out of it though, and it ain't cheap! well 127squid, cheap compared to something like photoshop, but not cheap to just tinker with.

if you fancy a go, you can download a 30 trial from here. http://www.corel.com/servlet/Satelli...=1047021793915

ok,.. as you were!

Can someone put Polster up so I can see it

I had a go at a christmas tree, I though it was brilliant, but no one else in the house did, they thought it was pathetic

I'll keep trying
