I added some my artwork to my "cubicle office"
http://cubicjungle.glueo.com/ - http://cubicjungle.glueo.com/
 
Add your own artwork too, and let's create gigantic office
 
Please let me know what you think about this :-)
 
(I deleted the old topic I created before and created this new one, hope that is OK)

I don't think you're going to get a lot of responses to this for several reasons. One is the scale, which is a bit large. The other is the lack of structure in this collaboration. For PJ's iso collab, there is a broad theme that allows for more experimentation, and there are specific rules about how to participate and where to build your addition. The page you've linked to is bare and difficult to navigate. There is also the fact of competition, there are already more structured pixel collaborations out there that artists can participate in, so you have to make it easy to use and offer something different to attract attention to a collaboration idea.

Also, there's no unified palette. do you know how ugly this thing will be with everybody using their own colors?

hi Cure,

firstly, thanks for your reply & opinions, I will gladly comment on them:

I think, i need to better explain my project :-)

I think this was misunderstood - the artwork is not the size of the "box" you have to fill too - you do not have to add such a big artwork too - Glueo is "elastic"... you can add just a tiny 50x50 artwork next to mine!

Ok, that may be true; there is lack of the structure indeed. But on the other hand, there is much more freedom and opportunities for creativity. On other collab projects - people are (what I've seen) putting their pixel-arts into same-sized "boxes" next to each other, but on Glueo, the artwork can be more "blended", that's the thing (one of more things) which makes it unique.

ok - on the other hand - on Glueo - there are different ways to experiment. (e.g. any part of artwork can have assigned a title or a hyperlink URL)

OK, thx - I will take this in consideration in the next release of the project, (perhaps there may be something like the smaller portion of the image in the corner, etc.)

As noted above, I think my site is different, so I will rather try to explain the difference :-)

BTW: on the homepage at http://www.glueo.com/ -

Any other comments welcome :-)

P.S. I am not using bold text for "shouting", just to point out important parts in my long text :-)

OK, I will think about this (I was thinking about that before too).
What palette would you AirStyle (or anyone else) suggest for the "Cubic Jungle" canvas?
 
On the other hand - why it would be bad if everyone uses the true color palette?

I don't have one in mind. But perhaps you start with a new one each week (about 20 colors), and then each consecutive week, cycle out half the colors. That way newcomers will be able to seamlessly add to the art that already exists, and the palette will keep changing, preventing it from becoming stale. The only thing after that would be to make sure the colors are well balanced, which I'm sure anyone on this site will help you out with. Check out Dawnbringer. He/She's written a couple of color palette scripts, so he/she'll have a good bit of knowledge on the subject.

Perhaps I can add the "palette restriction" functionality to the Glueo website, and if someone would want palette restriction, he would be able to create a new canvas for it. But I would perhaps keep the "Cubic Jungle" palette-unrestricted as it currently is.
