@Jal

What about them isn't iso? Is it the angle one goes to the other, or is it the shape of them? I based the shape of the eye itself (not the green) off of an iso circle, then I did a lot of adding and getting rid of things, then there's the aliasing. That might be the problem.

And I think I'm going to go off of my first edit with the monster and refine that. I actually made a lot of progress with the new one yesterday, but of course my mom had to come and steal my laptop then close out of the program without saving... And I think I like the general texture of the original better; it blends more with LB's start to it. So if I don't have an edit within the next six hours of this post, it should come tomorrow.

@ mdog95, Its mostly fine its just the angle that is off. Want an edit?

@Gavralcraw, Nice subs. finalize what?

@Gecimen, tried updating main image and got confused with what needs to be added :/

Wip. Haven't chosen an interesting subject yet.

Everything updated.

@mdog95; sure mate go with how you think is best (about the monster).

Awesome update man! I guess you can call this finished and pass on to another tile.

Thanks to everyone helping me out. Learning a lot about iso, I'm used to drawing things organically, I didn't exactly realize everything needed to be more precise to work. So here is another revision of my tile. I added sunken boat with remains to fill in some of the empty space.

@Gavralcraw; Wings seem iso to me... looks good :)

@Levaunt; good update, but in your earlier WIPs, beneath the boat was dark blue and it helped the viewer tell apart over and underwater objects.

@Jalonso; ok I'll add this now and work on the tail part, I have some design elements in my mind, lets see what will come out.

@codewarrior; are you beginning to work on it too mate (I mean please do)?

@Gavralcraw; going amazing dude!

for boundary tiles how far outside can or should you go?

So sorry, but my hard drive crashed, and I dont even know if I have the file for this because the computer won't even boot. I need to put my tile on hold, or if that's not permitted, give it to somebody else. I still haven't sent it anywhere to get fixed, so it will be a while before I can update it. Thanks for being so understanding in advance.

And for all of those wondering, this post is from my phone.

@ gecimen / jalonso:

guys, just dropping by to say the flue hit me.
So according to me being ill, the pixelling will be delayed a little bit.

I'll drop a new WIP for the minicollab when i'm back on my feet in a few days :]

Think I might be getting there.

Here's quick sketch of what I'll be doing.


I will probably add a giant squid with either 4/6 eyes or 1 eye respectively.

My new WIP

Sorry, I think I won't go for it anymore, don't like it now... I try something new, but have nothing at the moment. I need a good idea and then I'll be back, hope it's ok.

I'd like tile number 6 please!

@Gecime: Wouldn't be any fun if it weren't ;)

A pretty rough WIP just to show what I had in mind.

I'm kinda invading jalonso's tile. Hope that's ok!

ok, but I am allowed to ask Jalonso if I can have part of the net on his tile right? And just to clarify. Are you saying that even if Jaloson is ok with the edits I cannot do the edit's myself, only he can?

"Invade" was obviously poor choice of wording. Of course I don't intend to invade anyones tile. What I meant to do was to ask for approval to go through with my idea, since it involved changes to your tile. Thanks for finding a solution! :)

Still I would like to clarify the reason why I was questioning this issue further. The "rule" stated that the owner is the only one that can edit a tile. Of course the owner should be the one to decide anything regarding his/her own tile. But this "rule" actually inhibits the owners to give permission to anyone to make editions on his tile. Which seems counterproductive in a collaboration. To put it in another way, why should the participants of a collaboration not be allowed to choose freely who gets to do what? That's the reason I asked for further confirmation.

I think that rule stands there to make sure more experienced artists don't end up polishing every other tile. That would be way out of the collab's goal.

Any status update is a 14 day extension provided you have at least 1 WIP. So yes...

@offwhite, Tried to clean things up a bit / get the height down adjacent to you. It might be worth while angling the glacier down in front of my bottom right corner to make it clear that the glacier is further forward / the bed is further back and therefore deeper.

@Gavralcraw,a tiny bit hard to read. Maybe more defined yellow highlights on the wings? 

ah, it's already been two weeks and I don't have anything to show for it again. I guess posting a status update gets me another extension? I'm hoping to have my tile finished or almost finished very soon.
