Metallic gold text warped out shape and give a shine or gradient filled with a shiny border on MSPAINT? .

I hate to say that he couldn't because I have seen amazing things done by people using the most primitive and basic tools.

SCALEBACK666 I was wondering how I made the black image and couldn't remember, but the best I cam figure is I made a copy of the entire A and all it's added shapes and added those together to give me one shape, changed color to black. cloned that and moved one of them to the side and down then blended the two together.

I feel a bit like a time traveller, as Larry has asked me if I would post a series of drop caps in the style of one I submitted in July 2015.
Here it is, and more to follow.
Bob.
