To be fair, this is an early experiment with Paint. I've never really dabbled with Photoshop or any of those programs, and I'm still learning new tricks long after I had done that one.
Still, if I had to be proud of anything in this one, it's that the font was handmade, not in any of the Paint programs I ever used.

I remember this too well! Agreed-- they need to allow you to put images in sigs again, and if they did yours would win the award for "most epic sig ever", hands down. (:
I don't think my comment could ever compare to Maids's, as he just nailed everything (plus I don't have much more time to stay online), but here's one for you because I could imagine how much effort you put into it--
The one thing I enjoy most about your artwork is your attention to detailing! You have patience like none other, and it shows in your artwork!
I can also catch the references to SP episodes here-- love the little visitor getting abducted in Stan's, the limo in Token's (he's definitely at his high point in "Wing!) I like the cityscape behind Cartman, it looks like he's hitting the big leagues here in whatever he's doing and nice to see Pip at his home in London, and you definitely nailed Big Ben and the Union Jack (and I must say, he, Cartman, and Token all look very badass and GTA-ish )
I like Phillip here-- reminds me of "Terrance and Phillip: Behind the Blow" when he was performing Shakespeare. Kyle has the most adorable puppy-dog eyes, and so does Butters! He looks as if he doesn't want to don that Professor Chaos uniform but wants to anyway I love how you went so far as to include all of the crinkles in the tinfoil And then there's Kenny, already dead (I still can't believe tinypic or photobucket had a problem with that! D: )
On to the third row! It really looks like Tweek is tweeking out here, and not just on coffee (to continue with the GTA theme!) Scott looks like he's just taken over the world here with that determined expression and the Canadian flag in the background. And then there's Chef... it's striking at how sad and peaceful that one is compared to the rest of the action. *takes off her imaginary hat and pays respects to the loss of our favourite singing chef* I love how the Wendy one turned out, it kind of reminds me of the other side of "Raisins", or maybe "Chef Goes Nanners" when she's so confused over whether she loves Stan or Cartman. I love the detail you put in here, particularly the puking Stan in the photo and the wood of her dresser.
And the fourth-- Kevin looks absolutely terrified here, possibly how he must have looked in "An Elephant Fucks a Pig" when evil!Stan was born! Love the test tube and the Erlenmeyer flask (brings back O-Chem memories! D: ) I love your rendition of Timmy and Jimmy-- it looks just like them! I love how they're keeping their distance from each other as we all know how much Tim-Tim can't stand Jimmy... or is it the other way around this time? Maybe Jimmy's bummed because Timmy stole the spotlight? And finally...... awwwww, IKE! He looks so adorable in that little suit! Must be his first day of kindergarten!
It almost looks like every component of the pic is interconnected in some way-- Scott has taken over the world and killed Chef and Kenny, creating chaos, and Butters is not about to let that dick take credit for all of it. Meanwhile Cartman convinced Stan that the aliens who probed him did it, so Stan and Token go off in search of the visitors (causing much grief on Wendy's part.) Tweek is too tweeked out to do anything, Pip retreated back to England, and Kyle refuses to leave his house. Meanwhile Mephesto is creating a race of atomic supermen to stop Scott's evil power, and Phillip and Ike are speaking out for peace. All this time, Timmy and Jimmy are trying to entertain this terrific audience. It would make an awesome episode!
Also, I'm amazed that you did all of the lettering by hand! Now that's true artistry!
Oh, and a word of advice (nothing to do with the art, but how it's saved)-- I'd save it in a .PNG format instead of .JPG, since the .JPG format mucks up the colours a bit upon being saved.
AWESOME~

I found .TIFF works great! .PNG doesn't quite work as far as uploading goes, least not for me.
TinyPic was the one who was temporarily uptight about Kenny's pic. Was glad they allowed it again.
Thanks a great deal!

I always loved GTA boxart, it's perhaps what got me interested in the games in the first place (just like kyle's hat got me into SP, i'm a sucker for stylish toons). I particuarly like that you included the Old Skool great, Kevin mephisto monkey, he has hair like mephisto's son (the bushy brow boy), he's remin ding me of my chemistry lessons, that's the look I give whenever we have to do any practicals, or bookwork, or tests. Timmy and Jimmy have a nice gap between them, because they're such great friendlins That wall behind Ike must've taken FOREVER, Ike himself looks amazing like the wall, he has a huge head, but he deserves a big head being that smart. You caught Scotts Dick, right in this picture! His dickiness is so present in that look, plastered all over his segment, iwell, not on the flag, nothing defiles the cannadian flag The dead chef section makes me weep on the inside. Same goes for the lonely wendy pic. Tweek is amazingly done for a paint pic. OOOOH, is that the chaos hat i see before me? Too much tin foil Pip looks so deadpan and british, he has such venom! And token, he's like the man in black I can just hear kyle yelling at the dead kenny frame "OH MY GOD, THEY KILLED KENNY" and Stan looking away from the visitor to cartman's rectum, screeaming "you bastard!" back The lettering is amazing, i so need a font for GTA (you can get them, i have the south park font) because i could never have the patience to paint it out.

Glad you liked it, Super!
The wall behind Ike wasn't too bad. Long as you know where your separating bricks, mainly by checking your Paint coordinates, it's easier than it looks.
Scott didn't really defile the Maple Leaf; he's just standing in front of it. But if he had his way, he could very well wrap himself up in it and say they "stand on guard for HIM!"
Yep, that's the Chaos helmet, all right!
The lettering was the toughest of any of these, but as long as I did a few measurements of width per letter and compensated for the i and m, it was hardly a problem.
Thanks for the feedback!

I've been spoilt rotten by great drawing software so when i try drawing on Paint, or even freehand, i fail in epic proportions. I suppose i only have a laptop mouse to draw with (damn wiccam won't work for me!). Thanks for the great drawing!

I might just do that! In fact, give me a few minutes...

Muchas thanks! It was every bit of fun making those as I'm sure it was for all of you who saw it.
