"apparently from what I hear the copyright holders are quite litigious in regard to that sort of thing, which is in stark contrast to Bob Ross's actual vibe." True! Bob Ross Inc, the copyright holders of The Joy of Painting and the people in charge of all other Bob Ross stuff, absolutely suck. They stole all the rights from his son and half-brother after he died, lock down teaching of his technique to their Certified Instructors, are slowly replacing the products they sell with Chinesium garbage, and don't even let his son use his father's name.

[@wahoodotwav]

THEY WONT EVEN LET HIM USE THE _NAME???????_ awful awful people. may bob ross rest in peace and may bob ross inc. eventually rot in torment

[@primemeow]

@@wahoodotwavThey don’t, he literally had to make a settlement granting them the use of the name so that he could continue his own art career without risking a lawsuit

[@VelSparko]

​@@beefaxLegally, he was coerced into signing a legal agreement shortly before his passing. Morally, it's like 300% a crime. I've heard that since the Kowalskis stepped away from the forefront of the company things have been slightly better, but I haven't looked into it to confirm.

Honestly following along with Bob Ross is widely known as how to make an awesome picture no matter how crap you are at art or how crap the program you're using is. It's some weird type of magic.

[@frownyclowny6955]

As someone who followed along with Bob Ross once in high I school, I’m still very proud of my painting that hangs in my kitchen.

[@p1ksel.]

That just goes to show how good of a teacher he was

[@RobynAudiomancer2]

that mountain painting you did is INSANE

[@FioreFire]

I thought this with vinesauce joey's version of the bob ross bit too, but there's something about the mario paint air brush and messy pixels combined with bob ross's breakdown of the process that just *works.* it lets you create something with just the right sort of gaps in the details to let your mind fill in the blanks, bringing out a unique flavor pseudo-realism that you can only get with that extremely limited resolution

[@magneticflux-]

And then when Joel paused the ZSNES emulation and it put that purple pixel snow overlay, I still yearn for that kind of vibe.

[@milofranklin5386]

@@magneticflux- For all the problems that ZSNES had as far as actual emulation goes, I don't think a single emulator has it beat in the "cozy vibes" department.

[@goodvibes4891]

I am also blown away at the bob ross painting, the entire time i was just thinking, 'wow this is genuinely good, i wonder if anyone else will key into this' TBH as soon as i saw u blending the cyan and blue in the water god himself keyed me into the fact that it was in fact going to be a masterpiece. Not because of your artistic capabilities, but because you were channeling the pure whimsical bob ross energy into your all mighty brush.

[@InkblotHyena]

I bet you Bob'd be proud of your Mario Paint piece based off of his work. That looks amazing. I'd hang that on a wall.

[@Poondaedalin]

It's funny that you mentioned WarioWare: There was actually a spiritual successor to Mario Paint on the N64 called Mario Artist, and it was a suite of 3 different games that focused around different kinds of art. The first one was _Paint Studio_ , which was a traditional 2D canvas like Mario Paint, the second one was _Polygon Studio_ , which allowed you to make 3Ds models out of polygons, and the third one was _Talent Studio_ , which allowed you to put images onto polygon models and animate them with music, sound, and special effects. _Polygon Studio_ also had a minigame called "Sound Bomber" that was a collection of short, timed mini-games, and Goro Abe, one of the programmers for the WarioWare series, cites it as a direct inspiration for the format of the series. (Plus, there was also a scrapped GameCube successor to _Talent Studio_ that eventually morphed into becoming the Mii Channel!)

[@lamptrent]

you can't talk about Polygon Studio without mentioning the Experimental World! there's a whole open-world exploration mode where you unlock progressively better vehicle parts with different capabilities, changing your vehicle configuration to get to more areas. it's got a pretty hefty amount of content and even a little bit of a narrative it starts off pretty slow, but it's such a unique experience and has a lot of charm! and nobody eeever talks about it. it IS pretty buried in the menus but it's so neat. I think people just don't know it exists

[@Poondaedalin]

⁠​⁠@@lamptrent that sounds awesome what the hell

[@boredgabe4874]

I think my favorite Grayfruit vids are just when he’s just goofing off in a program or thing, the whole vibe just feels like genuine fun while making stuff

[@notthat8163]

Did you know that it’s a popular theory that the cancer that eventually took Bob Ross’s life could be attributed to the paint thinner he used to clean his brushes. His “Beat the devil out of it” move was basically spraying paint thinnner particles into the air, and he often filmed multiple episodes in a row every day for weeks. Every episode, doing that move multiples times… it’s not a huge jump

[@concept8192]

his art habits were a blessing and a curse... poetic maybe?

[@keybladebanditjing]

He used cadmium colors a lot too, cadmium is very toxic and can also cause cancers

[@primemeow]

@@notthat8163 He also smoked most of his adult life, but the paint thinner definitely didn’t help things

[@opalpersonal]

the most wonderful thing about all of these videos is people going into it expecting that they won't be able to make art, and then being touched when they inevitably do. in the beginning there's the phase of "haha, look what i'm doing, my art is gonna turn out so much worse than his, it'll be funny", then as it continues that slowly melts away into "oh, this doesn't look terrible actually" and then at the end, lo and behold they've made a wonderful painting. sure, it's on mariopaint, but art is art no matter where or how you make it. i love people freshly discovering the magic of creation they have within themselves in places they don't expect it. it's such a wonderful thing to experience.

3:28 is the exact same feeling as watching the DVD screensaver hit or edge the corner.

[@professorparabeetle]

Dude I kid you not I literally played this game yesterday, what a coincidence. It has one of the best music programs ever. Also pro tip: if you want a magic eye picture to work, sometimes it helps to cross your eyes and then back away.

[@cabracadabra_4256]

About magic eyes, the way they're made means that they have to rely on patterns that are spread horizontally, so what I find really helps when viewing them is crossing my eyes and forcing my view to overlap two of the repeating slices from said pattern. Doing that works always, I find. I also find that it's some of the best advice for someone looking to learn magic eye, because it gives them an objective. Most people learning don't know what to look for or how it appears, especially since it's not easy to describe, therefore through an objective they end up seeing it by proxy.

[@magmarxiogaming6717]

something i love about whenever people do the bob ross mario paint is it often leads to people creating actually pretty good art, even if it's inspired by bob's work it still has their own methods and uses of the resources given to them with the limited tools

[@banukaii]

grayfruit's painting is genuinely beautiful? Wow!!! As far as the "narrative of Bob" at 28:00 goes, I was curious. Wikipedia's source on the matter links to an archived version of a 1990 article from the Orlando Sentinel. I assume this is an interview with Ross (or lifted from an interview), but the quote this idea comes from is this: ''I was the guy who makes you scrub the latrine, the guy who makes you make your bed, the guy who screams at you for being late to work,'' he said. ''The job requires you to be a mean, tough person. And I was fed up with it. I promised myself that if I ever got away from it, it wasn't going to be that way any more.'' So it's true! But what's odd is that his son says otherwise in the Netflix documentary. I'd be more inclined to believe Bob himself though! Also, Bob's technique (which isn't his technique but whatever) lends extremely well to digital painting. Acrylics and other quick-drying paints dry too quickly for it, but pixels never dry ;) If anyone in these comments has ever wanted to get into digital painting but dont know where to start, let this video be an example of how you can with Bob Ross :)

[@Catslug]

God, this reminded me just how much I love Bob Ross and the Joy of Painting. He got me through so many stressful college semesters, and it's been so long that I had forgotten just how much I owe to him. Thank you Bob and Fruit

the thing about bob ross to me is that yu always go into it like "oh shit well i dont do jack with art so im gonna probably be awful" then you follow along and at the end you look at your finished work anr youre like "damn i actually did pretty good" it is always like that without exception

[@BluShiGuy]

Art

[@ritabelli5825]

My teachers in art college always want to hammer it in that the less you add to the painting the better beacuse you're not trying to mimmick reality, you're showcasing how you percieve it, photography is the one that perfectly replicates the world around us, but an oil painting demostrates what you view, so little details dissipate in the ocean of senses that you bring with colours and shapes, all combining to make the illusion of detail.
