@Conqueror
Don't question the designer. Just accept it.

I'm not going to sketch out illustrations, and it's really hard to find an illustration of Bernie that would work.

The decal pasting on the owls...

Answer 30

How do you make the owls like that? I want one of Patrick Stump (the guy in my picture)

Answer 31

at least he's not using the same design for everything like a certain someone did

Answer 32

2 amazingly equal designs shown below.

Answer 33

@bigpapa1 http://www.getpaint.net/ is a good tool to start with. Just keep sketching until you get it right. Here's the base that everyone uses too:

Answer 34

@bigpapa1

You don't need any of the latest paint programs to make good owls. I used the regular paint program to make all of mine.

Answer 35

What? You want me to make a new suit for every owl. Heck naw.

Answer 36

If you use MS paint, they end up loking super pixelated, as MS paint does not have good anti-aliasing capabilities. MS paint is also lacking in filters/effects/adjustment capabilities also. With MS paint, you get something that looks like the triangle on the left. Pixelated, faded, and with that wonderful compression noise on the edges. With paint.net, you get stuff like the triangle on the right. Sharp, no compression noise, no fading, etc. And again, effects and adjustments and whatnot, and you can also layer your images (another thing you can't do with MS paint) in case you don't want to press ctrl+z and hope the undo history goes back far enough to before you made a mistake, if you make one.

Answer 37

The suit wasn't the only thing copied.

Answer 38

I don't see any triangles on my owls.

Answer 39

I mean, you don't need running shoes to run, and you can use regular shoes if you want, but running shoes definitely help.

Answer 40

@Conqueror I wasn't trying to say it was one of yours, but since you brought it up, this is where I got the triangle from:

Answer 41

What triangle? And what else was copied? I'm lost.

Answer 42

When people use new paint programs to create new owls, they put little effort into their owls.

And I made Superman's cape like that. You think it just appeared there because of the paint program I use ?

Answer 43

They put less effort into their owls?
I don't seem to understand what you are saying. I do professional photo retouching, you're telling me that what I can do with Photoshop is lazy? Would I be better off putting photos in Microsoft paint, with its limited capabilities, and painting over the blemishes on a persons face with an off-tone color and then charging them a high price?

Paint is very limited. You can use brushes and do very limited effects. I am able to do the same thing you do in Microsoft paint, but in Photoshop. The rendered effect looks cleaner too.

Answer 44

"charging them a high price"

I don't know what this means.

And if you know how to use paint, it wouldn't have very limited effects.

Answer 45

I was just giving an example of why MS paint shouldn't be used. @Conqueror looking back at all of your owls from http://www.owlsofopenstudy.weebly.com/ they all look super pixelated, because again, MS paint doesn't have good anti-aliasing capabilities (anti-aliasing is softening shapes so they don't look super pixelated, jagged, etc.). So yes, it is because you use MS paint. Again, I was just providing an example comparing them. Anti-aliasing is only available in MS paint if you use one of their fancy brush effects. And then, if you use the paint bucket inside of a closed, AA'd line, it ends up looking like badAA.png (attached below). If you do the same with paint.net, it will look like goodAA.png (also attached below). For another triangle comparison that doesn't come from someone else's owl, see comparison.png (again, left is MS paint, right is paint.net). Also, as a side note, paint.net supports transparency in backgrounds and brushes, while ms paint does not.

Answer 46

My owls are clear enough for people to see and that's all that matters.

The outline of the circle wouldn't have different sizes if you used a pencil or a good brush.

Answer 47

Your argument is invalid @Conqueror .
Paint isn't meant to be used for advanced photo editing. Period.
Paint can be used for simple amateur illustrations and cartoonist drawings fairly well.
It does require talent to physically draw something, but paint isn't meant to be used for many things.

Answer 48

Oh really ? My owls have much more effort and are much more advanced than owls that have pasted decals on them.

Answer 49

The size is not what matters. Look at the inside of the black line. There are tons of white pixels between the black and the red, because ms paint's fill only looks for one color, whereas paint.net's fill looks for colors similar to the color of the pixel that you clicked (which is adjustable). If you look at goodAA, you will see much fewer white pixels between the red and the black (could be even fewer than what is shown because again, it's adjustable).

Answer 50

Say what you would like but paint can't do everything other programs can do. I'm not saying your owls are bad. I would never say something like that.
I'm also not saying that you didn't put effort in, but saying paint is the only way to do it is garbage.

Answer 51

It's called color sensitivity @poopsiedoodle .

Answer 52

You're right, you can't paste decals on owls in paint which puts little effort into your owls.

Answer 53

As for limitations of MS paint, here's everything you can do with it (image attached below). Here's an overview of paint.net's features in general: http://www.getpaint.net/doc/latest/index.html
Here's the menu-bar: http://www.getpaint.net/doc/latest/MenuBar.html (includes explanations of adjustments and effects)
And the toolbar: http://www.getpaint.net/doc/latest/ToolsWindow.html

Why use a bare-boned severely limited program when there are other, much more advanced, free-to-use programs out there?

Answer 54

That suit, I drew it. That doesn't mean that I have to draw everything. If you are so narrow minded as to think that using the internet to assist in the creative process isn't actual talent then we have a problem.

Answer 55

Call it whatever you want.

I call it little effort.q

Answer 56

Okay, thanks for your opinion! I respect it, as I hope you would mine.

Answer 57

First you say "we have a problem", then you say you respect my opinion.

.

Answer 58

Opinions are opinions and only that.
A problem would be a disagreement. I disagree with you, don't get me wrong, but I choose to bow out and respect your opinion as it differs from mine.

Answer 59

Cool

Answer 60

So my next owl, Kanye west or Kim Kardashian?

Answer 61

@poopsiedoodle @Conqueror thank you both! I didn't mean to start an argument between you guys :( sorry. I just wanted to know how to make a Patrick Stump owl but thanks

Answer 62

naw you're good, yo
I wasn't trying to argue either, but discouraging people from getting to their full potential is no bueno.

Answer 63

Also snuggie, I vote neither because they're both big babies.
