Automatic Post #4

This is an automatic post.

This is the fourth of seven. Each post contains a MSPaint masterpiece that fulfills a request made last Wednesday by mikedidonato.com readers.

He just wanted to be higher on the food chain

notes from the artist:
I used a new technique for this drawing that I’ve never tried before. When you change the format of a bitmap to a Jpeg and back, you get some funky color effects. So I did that a few times and then used the switch color method to make ‘leaves.’ I’m really pleased with the result.

Although it kind of looks like the goat is being Hanged by the balloon. In fact, the whole thing looks kind of creepy.

    In fact, it looks a little like the goat was hung by the balloon, and then floated free until it tangled in the tree. Weird. Eerie.

    Why is the goat red? i’ve never encountered a red goat before. All goats I have met have been brown and black or the combination of those two colors. weird. eerie.

    Very eerie.
    I think that the duochromatic nature of the image is what does it. this deserves to be in an oversized frame but if the balloon was just on the other side of the goat’s head, it wouldn’t look like it was being hanged by it…

    the blood redness of the goat adds a very striking effect onto the image. And the leaves what inspiration!

    I think the drawing is creepy because it reminds me of that tree from The Ring. Ohh…The Ring 2 is coming out soon, that means a whole new month of nightmares!
