Have you ever tried to make a pixel art panorama or a 360° panorama with common software?
Well these Java or Quicktime tools work with photos, but pixel graphics look awful.
But how about a nice little bikini bottom scroller? I think its a nice little
non iso collab.
Why Bikini Bottom?
- everyone likes spongebob and his friends
- there are so many characters and places to pixel
How can it work?
To have a connection between images from different persons the background of each
image should be the same, well at least 1px border on the left and on the right to
ensure that each image can be connected to the other.
Size
I think 300x300px is a good size for unbridled creativity, width and height are fixed.
Colors
Well, the background should keep its colors.
Explanation:

Background Template:
See samples & how it looks:

Im really looking forward to postings of bikini bottom scenes, comments
or improved graphics ...

Heh, that's really cool. I love the idea, the site and the little tool you've built. My main criticism is that by making it "Bikini Bottom" instead of just a generic sea floor you kind of restrict the creativity a little bit. Some peeps might not be into SpongeBob, but still want to throw down a cool sea floor pixel pic.

Personally, Spongebob makes me want to tear off my skin and jump into a fresh sewer

Yes, I guess thats kind of true, there are also some how dont even know
spongebob, I see. Well, but if some seaman post some sunk ships or whatever it
will look cool to me too.
Maybe someone has an idea for a different name, not bikini bottom
panorama, but something somewhat panorama. Ive got no good idea
myself right now, but if we find a good name I could change the name.

"Oceanic Panorama" would work I think

I'd love to participate in a regular underwater panoramic, that'd be really neat
but I'd run screaming the other direction from ANYTHING spongebob, sorry.

Alright then, changed it, new link
http://ocean.webmonk.de - http://ocean.webmonk.de
Now its a oceanic panorama & more generic, but I left my spongebob
samples within to have some samples online. Well Im quite surprised you
all dislike spongebob, well
the little mermaid is quite funny as well I guess.

question: how old are you?
perhaps this is simply an age difference thing?
I've noted that lots of highschoolers seem to like spongebob but the
interest sharply diminishes in university students who are only 1-2
years older.
anyways, I'm happily pixelling a mer-creature for the collab now :D

I hate spongebob. The only good Childrens cartoons are Ed Edd and Eddy, and Invader Zim

hehe, aqua Teen Hunger force is tight! ps: I dont count it as a
children's cartoon since it runs on late night on Adult Swim.

this is a WIP of what I'm doing IT IS NOT DONE DO NOT POST IT ONTO THE
PROJECT, but I don't know what I'm going to put on the righthandside
yet, perhaps just piles of pearls, or maybe another potted plant?
anyone have a brilliant idea I can use?

Saiklor,
hey, looks good already, what about adding a nice litte merman - or a mermaid, like you have them in the pixeljoint pixel area?
I just wanted to remind all that you also can change the background as
long as there stays some connection areas on the left and on the right.

my merfolk are all wayyyy too large for this size of collaboration!
but perhaps I can draw a new one in a smaller size, I don't know, I've never really tried.....

Aww... man. I wanted to download it but my dad uninstalled WinZip. Time
for plan B, that is, save the image and draw straight onto it in the
picture editing program. Lousey tedious plans of mine.
