[UncleDynamite]

This is our starting image:

As it should be for our starting image, there is a lot going on here.

[x]Uncle Sam in ent-form with dollar-leaves, saddled with a person vaguely resembling Pinocchio Bin Laden, chained to
[x]A Libra-inspired blindfolded George Washington, carrying the scales of justice (who, in turn, is ball-and-chained to planet earth, and
[x]A Chinese pig-like creature with a safe and a golden god (not enough arms to be Shiva) perched atop it, to
[x]A camel with something resembling an oil plant perched on its humps
[x]A pipeline holding a triptych of statues (I do not know who those people are)
[x]Stonks!
[x]A drowning Big Ben
[x]A wyvern
[x]The dollar sign
[x]The percentage sign
[x]Lady Liberty

[benneh]

POG

[Logic]

Hype!

[UncleDynamite]

Arapocalypse is our first describer:

Blindfolded "Justice" Washington leads desiccated treevenant/pig/camel, pollution hellscape!

If I recall correctly, Arapocalypse gets the first describing job for the second paint in a row, and the first description is always especially difficult.
I think she did a great job; sure, all the background elements were lost, but she only had 10 words, and all the foreground element stayed. “Treevenant” is a very nice touch.
“Pollution hellscape”, is, of course, spot on, but it leaves a lot of freedom to the first painter. This means that our paint is liable to dramatic change. How long the are treevenant, the pig and the camel going to survive? What about Justice Washington?

Shad is our first painter:



The camel, pig and treevenant survive, but at what cost? They are fused together in an unholy vivisectionist nightmare, which is fitting with the hellscape so aptly painted by Shad. People are jumping from a casino rooftop, there is a satanic rodent swimming in a river more polluted than the Ganges, there is either a brothel or a strip club in the background (we have both blackjack and hookers?!) and Justice Washington is doing his best “Sandra Bullock in Bird Box” impression. Oh, and I didn’t notice that Shad used text in the paint until now, so apologies for that.

PS I wonder if the camel/treevenant/pig are going to evolve into the dreaded manbearpig? If it does, we might need a bigger boat than this one.

[benneh]

FTR my first name in the chain is actually my daughter

i did not personally partake in this chain, just my fam

[nutella]

Amazing

[UncleDynamite]

Ren4977 is our next describer:

blind judge, tree pig, volcano, all in boat during apocalypse

The boat might have been the straw that broke the camel's back. It is now gone from the Unholy Trinity of Vivisection. On the other hand, the tree is now apparently doing double duty as a volcano. Oh, and Justice Washington is now a random blindfolded Justice, but that was to be expected.

Lads is our next painter:



Lads' apocalypse is a crimson nothingness with what appears to be some lava. No more casinos, no more brothels, and the pig, which now looks like a cute dog, is now resting by a clearly non-erupting tree. There is a mini-volcano beside it, but it might be an anthill with some honey poured on it. This reminds me less of a pollution hellscape and more of Life of Pi. The is almost certainly the end of our pig.

The tree is now the only element let from the first picture, and even then, it was more like an ent... or should I say "treevenant"? Oh, my bad, the blind judge still remains, but it stopped being George Washington a while ago, so I do not think it counts.

[UncleDynamite]

bopolis is our next describer:

blind judge, translucent dog, sailing on lava past volcano, tree

bopolis correctly decides that Lads' has painted a volcano, not an anthill. We also predictably say goodbye to the pig; I am hoping against hope that the tree will somehow manage to hang on for dear life until the end of this chain.

Mischief is our next painter:



This is an amazing paint. The setting becomes as grim as it was in the first picture, and the judge, looming with what looks like Fenrir over a lava-seafaring boat gives some slight Voldemort vibes (until you look closely and notice the bleeding eyes -the blind becomes the blinded!- and the missing teeth, that is). The tree is still there, but it has been reduced to mere background detail, so it is safe to say it will be gone very soon.

[nutella]

yo thats sick

[Arapocalypse]

That camel/treevanenant/pig abomination is truly quite unholy, I love it!!!!

[UncleDynamite]

dyachei is our next describer:

dog with judge crying blood in boat on lava flow

And just like that, we lose all the elements of the original picture in our fourth pair. That has to be a record; let's see if we manage to beat it during the next chain? Perhaps some strategic placement of players for whom game integrity means little (or who are easily distracted by some of their primal instincts* - more on this later ) will do the trick.

*In case you are wondering, this reveal is entirely Safe for Work.

benneh benneh's daughter is our next painter:



An excellent painting that presents some interesting turnarounds. Fenris is now a very pink Good Boy (I am not necessarily saying Fenris is not a good boy, just that this case is self-evident). We predictably lose the tree; two less predictable losses are the judge (well, he is still there, but to me, he looks more like Pierrot than a judge) and the volcano. At least there is plenty of lava, so maybe our sulphurous friend will make an erupting reappearance?

[Arapocalypse]

Hellscapes hype!!!!!

[Arapocalypse]

benneh's daughter has a lovely art style, very hype!!!!!

[Mischief]

Hype!

[UncleDynamite]

Onuzq is our next describer:

blue sky, magma, pink dog and man in boat pointing

No surprises here: the volcano and the judge are gone. On the other hand, nothing that benneh benneh's daughter has painted is actually missing, so it's hard to fault this description.

nutella is our next painter:



A great painting with some peculiar choices. The pink dog looks like a garden ornament, and the volcano is back, baby! The highlight of the painting, though, is indubitably the erstwhile blindfolded Justice Washington, now a redneck god with blue eyes and a mullet riding the magma like it was a river and pointing at what are clearly some bewildered onlookers, who are probably thinking "this is a great symbol for where 2022 has been headed for months".

[Mischief]

Redneck god hype

[nutella]

lmfao

[UncleDynamite]

Chocolate Teapot is our next describer:

Dinghy on lava lake with pink labrador, Crusoe pointing left

From George Washington to Robinson Crusoe. What a ride, both literally and figuratively. Obviously, Crusoe is shipwrecked again, but what was then water is now lava. Chocolate Teapot disagrees with me and thinks the pink dog is real, and not an ornament.

Dawoodle is our next painter:



Poor dog. He is now alone in the dinghy, which is inside the Crater of a volcano. I choose to think this is a reenactment of Journey to the Centre of the Earth by Jules Verne, and that Robinson did not throw it there. Most of the magma outside the crater is now gone, creating a particularly surreal picture of a volcano crating rising in the middle of nowhere like a goddamn Dune Sandworm. The dog seems to be the spice.

[UncleDynamite]

DoctorZeus is our next describer:

Topless man lets dog go burn in moated lava pool

Crusoe is now a shirtless man, and the dog has lost its pink hue (or is it pink because it's starting to get cooked? I really hope the wanton animal cruelty stops soon.

remember is our next painter:



remember clearly thinks that if a man is shirtless outside, then he must be cooking some BBQ (or going to the beach, but the description did not mention any beach. Or maybe remember was feeling a bit peckish, because the description sure did not mention any BBQ activity either. The shirtless man has been provided with an appropriate dadbod.

We are not in the "this is fine" meme territory anymore. Someone help the dog.

[benneh]

redneck GAWD

[nutella]

ahahhaha

[Mischief]

Amazing lol

[Chocolate Teapot]

I am late but caught up! These are awesome

[UncleDynamite]

SwedishSkumbag is our next describer:

Dad-bod uncle calmly BBQ'ing. Beside: Dog suffering in Fire

Yup. A perfect description of what is a very sad scene. I agree with SwedishSkumbag's decision to add the word "calmly", because any normal person would stop BBQing at the sight of a burning dog.

DuckQueen is our next painter:



I mean... this is obviously a fantastic painting, though we sadly lose the dad-bod and any uncle quality the man might have had (though I love the apron). But I keep getting distracted by the dog

[Mischief]

I love it

[UncleDynamite]

Adam is our next describer:

backyard: dude BBQing, goatee, sunglasses, earphones. burning dog (intended "hotdog"?)

I am not sure whether Adam genuinely thought the burning dog hinted at hot dogs because of the presence of the BBQing man or whether he simply decided to attempt changing the situation to lighter topics, but I am grateful that he did. As for the rest of the description, it is hard to fault it, except for the fact that he focused on earphones rather than the magnificent apron. Oh well.

Garden Gnome is our next painter:



This just in: some over-the-hill DJ has been urgently recalled for a BBQing gig. The griddle, which appears to levitate slightly, is clearly still shaking to the grid. All jokes aside, it is always nice to see a hand-drawn painting, and it is always nice to see Garden Gnome at work. A lot of love and care has clearly been poured into this hilariously uncool BBQer. The dog is still suffering, but we are slowly reverting to a "this is fine" meme situation, and at this point, I will take it.

[Chocolate Teapot]

I love the earbuds, that's such a cool detail

[Logic]

Thank God the dog is safe!

[Mischief]

The dog looks so much happier now.

[Chocolate Teapot]

I like how we went from "blindfolded" to "sunglasses" with several regular eyes inbetween

[UncleDynamite]

ThePretender is our next describer:

cool bearded sunglasses man having outdoor garden bbq with labradoodle

Apparently ThePretender disagrees with me and thinks those emerald sungaless and that goatee (not to mention the headphones) look cool on the BBQ man. I am not going to argue with ThePretender: there is no accounting for taste. More importantly, the dog is no longer suffering, which I see as an absolute win. The rather generic dog also becomes a labradoodle (it honestly looks like a dachshund to me, but I could be wrong).

InstantHammer is our next painter:



There is not much to say here, other than this (the igloo, the ushanka, the bermuda trunks...) was not the most egregious derailing that affected this chain.

Alright, this is very well-painted, the heart trail and especially the UWU sun are great, but why the igloo?

...

Oh, I get it. You read "cool" and you thought "igloo"? Alright. To this I say:

(I wonder if anyone on this forum is old enough to get that reference).

[Chocolate Teapot]

[UncleDynamite]

Dolby is our next describer:

Grilling by igloo, dog, sunny day, plane creates heart trail

Pity about losing the ushanka and especially the uwu sun, but Dolby only had 10 words, so he still did a great job. The BBQer has now dressed appropriately for the harsher climate.

Manasi is our next painter:



That is an absolutely adorable dog, and it clearly deserves all the BBQ that has conveniently been left unattended. One of Manasi's best efforts.

[Mischief]

It was definitely a dachshund, in my uneducated cat person opinion.

[Chocolate Teapot]

I love how I'm not the only one who thought the heart trail was an important part of the picture

[Mischief]

Dolby is our next describer:

Grilling by igloo, dog, sunny day, plane creates heart trail

Pity about losing the ushanka and especially the uwu sun, but Dolby only had 10 words, so he still did a great job. The BBQer has now dressed appropriately for the harsher climate.

Manasi is our next painter:



That is an absolutely adorable dog, and it clearly deserves all the BBQ that has conveniently been left unattended. One of Manasi's best efforts.

This is so peaceful

[UncleDynamite]

LanMisa is our next describer:

sunny; cute dog; grill; Igloo; plane flying heart-shaped route

Absolutely nothing from Manasi's paint was missing in this description. Perfect description do not allow for funny commentary, but they get the job done.


BNA is our next painter:





It is interesting to see how a simple stylistic can convey a different message: change the perspective from which we view the dog, and now it is no longer happily waiting to be fed, but it is waiting for its owner to come back. Let's hope it does. catgode, what say you?

[Mischief]

The outline of the dog is really clean.

[Chocolate Teapot]

Yay! I hope the heart stays till the end!

[UncleDynamite]

catgode is our next describer:

arctic; center: dog, barbecue; plane's heart trail; white sun, igloo

Game integrity clearly means a lot to catgode, so the owner does not appear. Unfortunately, sometimes following the rules can make people sad, but this is still a perfect description (or is it? Not sure I'd call that sun white. Let's say near-perfect).

Holyflare is our next painter:



Holyflare? More like Holy $%#!, what a masterpiece. Unfortunately, I cannot just say that and be done, so I will add that the trail of hearts offers a somewhat unexpected interpretation of the description and makes that poor dog somewhat less lonesome. I am also not one to over-analyze technical details, but the sun rays look especially stunning. Sometimes, it's the little details. I want to print this and put it on my wall.

[Mischief]

Damn, I really like the style. Gj HF

[Chocolate Teapot]

Oh, the return of the tree!

[UncleDynamite]

JMurder3 is our next describer:

Snowy mountain pass

Polar bear - campfire

Red plane, hearts behind

To be honest, I think interpreting the igloo as a polar bear is a bit of a reach. I'd rather mistake the igloo for a veil-covered car, which would clearly be out of place here. The polar bear, on the other hand, fits perfectly well in this setting, but I am still sad about losing the dog. Maybe it ran towards its owner. We also lose the BBQ (though understandably, as it was not a key element in Holyflare's paint).

Michelle is our next painter:



This chain is chock-full of talent, and this is another amazing hand-drawn painting. The polar bear looks every bit as cute as Manasi's dog. I'd gladly feed it the BBQ, but it is sadly gone. I do not think that campfire is doing the bear any good at all.

[Mischief]

Ahhh I love the polar bear.

[UncleDynamite]

moonstermash is our next describer:

Red plane flying, hearts tailing; polar bear enjoying bonfire; mountains

Another perfect description. Like I said before, I do not think polar bears enjoy campfires, but Michelle's bear clearly did, so it is impossible to fault moonstermash for this description.

aphelios is our next painter:



The masterpieces keep flooding in! An absolutely amazing paint by aphelios, which makes it impossible for me to nag about the many liberties that were taken. That red plane looks like a spaceship, the polar bear is probably a mecha-bear, the campfire is now a full-blown fire, and we are creeping back towards the hellscape we had in Shad's paint.
