I got banned from r/Art for "low quality work", anyway here's my MS Paint art inspired by medieval manuscripts

All work made in MS Paint (Windows 10) with a computer mouse only.

I started using MS Paint in earnest in April of 2014, and I've been developing my cartoonish style since.

I loved playing with proportions and caricature, which leant naturally to my huge passion of medieval history as I explored the art of the time.

In my work I try to reflect my interests and story, and this is a collection of my Video Game Illuminated Manuscripts. Adapting core parts into a medieval sensibility and referencing it's medieval analogue for proportions and decorations. For example; ● Pikachu is framed in a page representing the Pokedex. ● Sephiroth is depicted as a biblically accurate medieval angel/seraphim.

Thanks for hearing my story ☺️

So proud of this one!!! 🥲🫶🏼

Long time lurker, first time posting here 🤣 just wanted to share this piece I made last week that I’m SUPER proud of. I really struggle with faceted gem settings for some reason & can’t usually get them right, so this was definitely a good skill builder for me!!! Blue topaz in the center, with peridot & lab spinel in sterling silver.

Side note - does anyone have any better tips for polishing the hard to reach areas in a cluster style like this? This was the best I was able to do. The best result I was able to get was with a 1mm fiberglass scratch pen. Personally I love how the textured backplate looks against the more polished points. But any tips for next time if I wanted to get the backplate just as polished? TIA for any advice! :)

Have I lost my mind?

I'm working on Vogue pattern 2915 using large scale geometric prints. I didn't realize the scale when I bought them online, but I thought I'd go for it anyway. Now I'm second guessing it.

I have four choices at this point: Keep going, try to amend this in some way, start over, or I could use the pattern for the reverse side and make the outside with one piece of fabric.

Helen of Troy: Before & After Glaze Firing

I wanted to share this transformation with you all! I sculpted Helen of Troy as a multi-tile mosaic.

Looking at the final result, I think the color gradient in the hair could be better, but overall it was a fun process. What do you guys think? I’d love to hear your feedback!

My progress so far

I used y to I colour and craft when I was young, but it was more or less made into something negative. Having to be perfect, without trying things out because “you know better, you can do better” .. and other great comments from adults around me as kid. Now I am 50+ and starting to colour again once a week in an group setting. These are some of my “works” and I upgraded fast from cheap pencils to Faber-Castel polychrome. Still learning a lot! I know I am colouring like an kid, darker colour? Push that pencil!

The artist that is instructing/overseeing/guiding the group is fantastic and has given me lots of insights and tips. Like what I do, the push it thing, which is forcing me to actually give attention to what I do. I used to feel stressed and feel my painting has to be done within that one and a half hour. The first mountain ridge at night, taking the whole page, you can see it clearly. I tried later on to smoothen it out, but I guess it’s not possible anymore. My second try, same motive, but in an circle, is more softer. I took my time with it and it helped me understand why I have to start soft even if I want the dark colours. It just takes more time, attention and care. With that I also dared to be more creative and put it into an circle and not just use the whole page, learning to play with limitations and space.

This sub is also fantastic. I learn a lot here as well. So many of you are so talented and it’s so nice to know that this is such accepted thing. I am still not confident to colour at home, but I hope that I will start trying to do it next year. With this I also would love to see how other people’s progress is/was and hope some will show their first or early works and where they are now.

Thank you all for being yourselves and sharing your art with the rest of us. It is very appreciated.

Brightscapes: The Way To Beauty

How did this get made: Click to watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W2XlZ2ZDQPE

We said "yes" here, standing on Marble Bridge as the canal moved quietly beneath us and the city seemed to pause. Built to impress royal guests centuries ago, this bridge has watched history survive fire, time, and change with calm confidence. It felt like the right place to begin something lasting. Surrounded by marble, lanterns, and copper rooftops, the moment felt grounded rather than overwhelming. Not rushed, not loud, just steady and certain. The kind of beauty that eases the heart and makes room for what matters.

This piece is a way to bring that feeling home. It offers more than a view of Copenhagen. It holds a reminder of commitment, patience, and shared direction. A visual pause you can return to when life feels busy or uncertain.

What do you remember about Copenhagen?

🌉 Marble Bridge (Marmorbro), Copenhagen 🌉
