My favourite so far.

http://drawception.com/viewgame/3CfAfkaLXk/the-thing-that-lives-under-your-bed/ is incredibly awesome too.

E: Someone managed to upload a photo somehow.  Gonna have to wait for the game to finish before posting it though.

I heard the echoing gasp.

Ooo, drawception thread! I'm Johuotar with +1 last time I checked. And yes, join the counter revolution! Hate the haters! Countervote the downvotes!

Middle right panel is proof that there is some way to get a smaller then normal tool.

Why did I start reading these?!? It's like a constant stream of webcomics which pop up faster than I can read them! My life is over.

Haha, hehe.

As I don't care about downvotes so much, I'm posting this one because the first drawing is just so awesome.

The number of decent to skilled artists who wind up drawing genitalia over and over again kind of astounds me.

You'd be surprised.  There's a whole "porn art" industry, especially in the furry fandom.

I think it's more that there are a number of skilled artists, and a number of people willing to draw genitalia.  They overlap, but aren't the same.

In any case:
The reason games take so long to complete is that there are more people who are willing to describe pictures than draw them.  I started playing the other night and was clicking "next" to find something I COULD draw and was getting a lot of drawings waiting to be done (even saw one of them twice) before it finally dropped a "describe" on me.  Which I completed, and then played again for a drawing.

My more recent endeavors (read: stayed up 2 hours past bed time to work on) have been to write a greasemonkey script to give me an expanded color pallet.  If you've got Firebug, you can tweak the ones that are there; just replace the hex values:

Code: [Select]

Take this:
<a style="background:#00FFFF;" onclick="setColor('#00FFFF');return false;" href="#" class="colorPicker">&nbsp;</a>

Make it this:
<a style="background:#AC98FB;" onclick="setColor('#AC98FB');return false;" href="#" class="colorPicker">&nbsp;</a>

And you'll get this:
█

Currently the greased monkey is breaking whatever jquery connections there are that make the submit/skip buttons work, which is a shame.

That's what artists do. Most art schools entrance exams have, as a standard question, an empty box captioned "draw anything here". The entrant to draw the biggest dick wins.

Hahahaha!  Hehehehee!  Hoohoohooo!
Reminds me that I once told one of my art professors that I detested drawing the human form.  I did make it clear that it wasn't because of the nudity, but that I just didn't like doing the musculature and that I hated that the "peak" of classical art is the human form ("hello, landscapes?").  This was in reference to having to reproduce a painting out of a specific book.  Every.  Single.  God.  Damned.  One had a person in it.

It's like, art history: "Here's a thousand styles of art since the dawn of time."
Art instruction: "And here is how to draw naked people.  What do you mean 'other styles of art?'  We've been teaching art this way for over 2000 years!"

I found every excuse I could to draw "anything but people."

(Best part: the one assignment I actually LEARNED anything on, I got a D because I did it wrong.  "Your lines aren't clean and those circles aren't geometrically perfect.  And those lines, you clearly didn't draw those with a ruler."  I'm sorry, what part of "draw this using only geometric shapes didn't you understand?  I drew an organic object with nothing more than a free hand and geometic shapes!  The very foundation of drawing fuckanything!)

I do see where your professor is coming from. The history of human art really is pretty saturated with humans. Probably has something to do with most artists being human. And most of the target audience is also human.

118 here, and that was after doing a rather...adult starting one that got me a -3, another one for -2, and a handful of others at -1.  What can I say?  I like a little raunchiness.

That's not really what I meant.
Noably the professor who I was going "but I don't like humans" was fairly understanding, although I still had to pick a piece in the book.
It was a different teacher that was like "what do you mean, other art styles?"  Although not quite so bluntly.
Did hold the same kind of general air about the whole thing: that art instruction is the way it is because that's the way it's always been (i.e. indoctrinating).

Actual photo of the actual titanic.

[Soadreqm]

How did they DO that?

Looks like Titanic held together pretty well. It's interesting to see what kind of thing stay the save over the game. Some things are apparently so deeply ingrained to the collective subconscious that everyone will instantly recognise them, no matter how crude the squiggle. Everyone gets references to Hitler, Winnie the Pooh and Star Wars. And Inception, although I bet there's some selection bias there.
