MS Paint Color Challenge

If you've ever tried to make a texture pack, you likely know the golden rule:

Never, ever, use MS paint.

I now invite you, ladies and gentlemen, to defy that rule. I challenge you all to make the absolute best texture pack you can, using only the default colors of MS Paint.

Are you ready to claim the top spot as the master of color? Then click the link below to read the challenge thread!

that seems a bit nuts... challanging someone to a texture pack. i mean, a texture pack is a 6 month project XD

You haven't been here long, have you? Challenges have been coming out our ears for months now.

We had a challenge to make a texture pack in 6-hours a little while ago, and there were a lot of good submissions.

You should go enter this new one! *hint hint nudge nudge*

I might try to, I have a lot of Minecraft related things on my plate right now, oddly enough.

We'd be glad to have you if you decide to stop by. You'll surely stomp the competition.

Oh yeah, making a pack can be an awful lot of work. A big portion of the time investment depends on how quickly you can make a texture-- and how many tries it takes before you're satisfied. It used to take me upwards of 2 months to make a pack, but with experience I can now turn out a (relatively) simple one in a weekend. Part of my ability to do that has come from challenges, especially challenges with time limits. They really help the community to improve, and foster creativity.

that makes sense, actually. when i first started my pack, i was making maybe 1-2 textures a day, simple ones. i did over 40 stone textures before i got one i liked enough to keep, and i still dont care for it.

but now, i can do most textures pretty quickly. however, on occasion i do find that certain ones end up taking me 12-15 hours. but i make things insanely complicated.

i have plans for tons of packs once i finish this one though... perhaps ill get fast enough to make these.

128x (or higher) photography based pack. the theme will be decay. lichen, mold, moss, rust, peeling paint. things i really, really like to take macro shots of, but arent that interesting on their own.

16 or 32x - ****ed up happy land. the name is intentionally sloppy. it will basically be themed after a perfect suburban neighborhood with a dark undertone, and occasional gore. somewhat inspired by fallout 3's tranquility lane, provided you took the pint sized slasher route.

16x mostly grayscale pack that introduces color occasionally in very low saturation, but brightly colored lightmaps, sky, etc. basically making use of mcpatcher/optifine's custom colors.

yep. this will happen eventually, i hope.

My posts are always ignored.

In all seriousness, look up! Interesting story of the amazing feeling of success and confidence texturing has done for me!

I did read it, and I felt happy for you. I just didn't have anything to say except 'great for you!'. So I guess..... great for you! That's awesome!

so, i started on my cactus intending it to be a mechanically augmented plant. what i came up with however, ended up looking like a colony of mutant tube worms. should i make the spikes more metallic and attempt to salvage this texture, or start over?



i want this to be a more steampunk aspect. its about time my pack had some of those, since its a steampunk pack.

anyway, i also did log tops, finally.

rather than making some that worked for everything, i made some that looked neat and worked for none of the logs!



yep, they're permanently cracked. overdone?

Welcome our newest member to the Texture Arsits' Union, adigregorio!

Woo hoo! Now I am a double noob! And, I am a nerd... I guess that makes me a square noob squared!
(Also, I make bad jokes.)

Thank you tons for acceptance! As soon as I finish up my first texture pack I will contribute more in here. It is allllmost done, so it shouldn't be too long. I am thinking just in time for 1.4, which is perfect since it is already compatible (if the snapshots remain bug fixes...)

I am after all sorts of feedback on the pack right now, which can be found here: http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/1330039-tp-10-a-pack-without-a-name/

Again, thank you guys and I look forward to joining in!
