It might be best to remove that which you are unsure of and leave your tile a 'seed' for your neighbors. Once others have posted theirs you can then come back with new ideas or continuations or inspirations and work in your tile.

In these collabs the first few tiles tend to be reworked more than later tiles.

	@ashkin; I think the main problem with your tile is the clean looks amidst of all the butchery. You can disrupt everything in order to create a more natural look. I edited to show you what you can do, this is overdone but it should give an idea. Dithers, stray pixels, blood stains in differing sizes (rather than standard) volume for the flooring etc. You can add more stuff within the scene (character or dead body parts) and their reflections and shadows on the flooring as well.

	@ashkin- you could also do a checkerboard type floor pattern. Or place a little shine in it (light streaks running diagonally), perhaps. There's a lot of options. Or do something similar to Gecimen's edit (semi-random things to create texture and effects). Play around with the walls and table, because they are kind of lacking in artistic flare. Good luck.

	Another update. Pixeling this felt so WRONG- I'm used to keeping things clean, and all these little dithers and things are so... non-clustery. But I think I learnt a little about textures. Also Gecimen I never would've thought of using that green to highlight the grey, that is excellent Edited by Ashkin - 02 October 2013 at 10:45pm

	This looks great! Note: Sometimes the most important aspect of the collab is to practice the same piece with others. But again, of course, create your tile as it pleases you, first and foremost.

I've been staring at this for a few minutes and still have no idea what it means. Was it addressed towards me? If so, what does it mean? Have I done something not quite in the spirit of the collab? Did I not leave enough for people to continue along the edges?...

No you've done everything perfectly. :) I was just pointing out the way you've pixelled in a manner you hadn't before.

	Ah, yeah, I get'cha. Yeah, that's why I like collabs. You get feedback, and you're forced to improve your own standard to at least come close to the people around you. Pushing yourself beyond your comfort zone is the only way to improve, and I don't think I've improved in a while- but this, combined with some other work I've been doing, has put me on the brink of something new, I think. Yay collaborations!

	*Originally posted by jalonso* *Originally posted by Erstus* ...Not sure about the colors... Yeah.. that turned out funny. I tried couple of different color combinations that all worked, so what i meant, was to inform possible neighbours that the bridge might change in one way or another.

	@Erstus, I think it looks quite beautiful in terms of color use actually. On a side note, it would be awesome if you updated the top corner soon-ish, so people can continue from thereon. No rush though.

	WIP update: I'm having problems with the background, trying for a cliff edge but I got stuck at this point. Also trying to use the lighter side of the palette so the brick wall doesn't merge with the cliff/background, but I can't get it to work at the moment. I would have gone with the darker colors but I feel the tile would be too flat. And I still need to incorporate the dragon and the eye once the background is finished; Edited by Acherhar - 07 October 2013 at 5:14pm

	@Acherhar hmm, perhaps if you used darker colors for the cliff-side (the part that's transparent now), and lightened up the top faces of the brick wall so there's a bit more contrast there. (like how jalonso's wall on the right side is much lighter).

Archerhar: I think Aeveis left good advice about making the walls stick out on a dark backing. Although I kind of like the light backing.. idk (pointless comment)
