That looks really awesome, kumori! A lot of demons, yokai, oni and such? Can't wait to see more details as it comes together. I'm actually curious about some of your other tiles, there's so many mythological beasts that I'm not familiar with (and I love to learn about mythology), could you let me know what they're called? :D

Maybe the figure on the deck is a liiittle big compared with other humans? There's a scale reference in the first post of the thread.



Update to #26: Idun and her apples of eternal youth. Did someone already make Odin/Oden?

I don't think so... Now I wonder if I could fit 8 legs on a horse at this scale...

I saw I had some accidents on the top :P
Fixed it.




This is a straw puppet of Marzanna or Marena, Morana, Zmora, Mora. She has many names. It is a slavic godess of winter, death and rebirth. There was a pagan ritual of making a straw puppet of her and drop it into a river to drown her (sometimes it included burning her). It was a ritual of passing from winter to spring during the march equinox.

It was still practiced in some extend in late 20th century. I remember as a kid in elementary school we were doing the puppet on art classes and the whole class then went on a trip by bus to drop her into the river together (yeah, ecology was not such an issue in the 80's in Poland). It was a part of celebrating our slavic heritage I guess. When Poland was still a socialist country, the catholic church was not in power, there were no religion in school and people still were mixing it all up. When we switched to this capitalist/church state, the church took everything, and we lost 2/3 of our identity, a secular state and our ancient pagan roots. As an atheist who loves fantasy I don't feel much of a connection with Polish people anymore :(

I thought there will be no cooler occasion to celebrate that past, than pixel art collab about mythology. Maybe I will make some slavic folk stuff elswhere :)

Thank you :)! Also I wanted to warn yall that if you take the collab whole image and put it on aseprite, there's 19 colors instead of 18 ^^. I looked up and there's indeed one to many shade of brown that made it's way in the palette^^!

Wow thanks, nice catch. That brown sneaked its way as a single pixel in #14, then found itself widely used in other tiles.

The only way i could to replace it was with the dark red, since otherwise it breaks the integrity of both tiles it was used. So if shm31 and kumori wants to check out their tiles, i'll replace them.

Actually, may as well post a better WIP already. Going for some kind of action scene, so it will probably take me a bit to get it right.
Almost wished I saved the hydra for some space where it could be bigger... but if Greek mythology can feature two separate myths with hydras, we can definitely have two hydras in the collab.
Also undecided on if I'll use Maye's suggestion for finishing the golem or do something on my own, we'll see.

@Kumori, looking great. You have that extra shade of brown that doesn't exist on our palette. I replaced it with the dark red for now, but maybe you want to check it out yourself.

Looks amazing. I'd like to try 83, but if you were wanting all 3 of those to finish out your idea, no problem! If I take 83, I'm curious what you envisioned in that spot.

83 is yours JerryPie! And reminder, you can't claim tiles adjacent to ones you already finished, so by design someone else has to figure it out :)

@Jerry; not at all; each of these tiles must be done by a different person, so you can just begin drawing your idea.

Trigonomicon & Geciman: Ok ty! Forgot about that rule.


WIP

I don't want this to be the end of the snake since it looks like it wraps around the whole collab. But thought it might be cool to have a graveyard of snake heads poking out of the water. 

I have no idea what snake anatomy looks like. I did a little Googling, so forgive me 

-

Edit: If anyone has any helpful edits to the skull facing the viewer, feel free to send them! I always struggle with that perspective (especially if the object is longer in length) but like to practice when I can. 

It looks more like an odd frog+bear creature right now. Which I guess I can live with if I'm short on time.

Thank you Umbohr!

Well the texturing here was a bit tricky. But I wanted to try it. I'll call this done for now unless you guys need it edited.

Looking great, I see nothing that needs an edit.

I like the little skeleton king in the middle of the coils, is it a mythological reference of some kind or just a fun detail?
