@PixEd. Looks better, like the lighting from the skulls!

@Gecimen Thanks!
Here's a quick edit of a zoomed in shot, mostly just using the darker colors to add more shadow to the scales (and bring out highlights a bit more), if that makes sense to you.


@jalonso Thanks!

I'll probably edit mine again during the weekend.

Where is will smith?

Also I am having a problem with skobys tile the wall there makes the flow all wonky. Where is skoby he needs to finish it!

That's a great tile Gecimen.
Actually all the new ones are great.. I like that Prometheus/Alien tile too.


Here's #82 (finally):

I also have some updates:
  

and with Nevercreature's approval (I PMed him):

@Pix.Ed., you've done great and fixed everything I was confused and found questionable.

Because of the huge WIP sign & the conflict with your tile but I guess I can put it anyway. I PMd Arkan85 for it but he never answers my PMs.

@||||; thank you :)

@Pix.Ed.; it's impossible not to see. Not everyone have the courage or patience to work on their criticized sides (excuse me for the bad sentence).



That's Limes' tile, not Nevercreature's. And I think the tile owner is supposed to update himself. (except extreme cases, such as the tile owner's account is inactive).

Main image updated.

I made some update... and I think it is (almost) finished.

@Gecimen: I'm sorry if I didn't answer your message... I thought it was only a reminder...

@Jalonso: I think I'll need your permission for the upper-right side pixels I edited...

@SpeedyCube: I'll need your permission too for hanging the poster on your wall...






Edited by Arkan85 - 20 September 2014 at 10:23am

@Arkan85, don't even sweat it. I'll be going thru my all my tiles soon enough and matching whatever is off. Do your thing, I'll adjust.

Don't worry gecimen, I don't mean change I just mean touch up the edges. All minor.

@Jalonso; as far as I see only 4 are edited right? Cause I have to keep all tiles separate, and I also keep old edits etc. to be able to go back in history of the collab.

Main image updated.

@Pix.Ed.: Now, pick another one, then :)

Btw, to everyone: not that I need to say this but maybe this can influence some of you. There are 2 ways to start a new tile:

1- Pick a tile and draw what your existing neighbor tiles hint. Usually smaller stuff/characters are included to such tiles. These are some of the tiles drawn in such a way:


2- Think of something first, pick an available space that it'll fit. If what you think of is bigger than a tile, check if the rest can be drawn in the space you left in between your tile and borders/existing tiles. These are tiles that are drawn in such a fashion:


Neither of these mehtods are superior to the other and both have a place in all collaboration projects. Surely anyone can imagine what's the place for the method 1, and it's very common. But if there is a tile that it's too confusing or (potentially) boring to continue, then apply method 2, think of something irrelevant from the neighbors and place it there. Break whatever there is and start your own thing. The wooden house above is one such example. And needless to say, there are hybrid methods as well, such as continuing the tile to some point that cutting it with something else.

OK updated 28 as well.

That's great!

#75 is yours!

Here's an update to my tile. I added a big bat creature. Any thoughts are appreciated, thanks!

@aeveis; I think it looks awesome :)

@Clownaround; it's looking very good but you have a LOT of wrong colors. To further improve it, you can;
* Make a better and denser soil texture. You can draw rock particles around. Try not to leave wide brown areas for your neighbors to continue.
* If you want, you can draw stalactites down below (you can exceed the image size a few pixels). But not needed. It's good enough as it is.

Main image updated.

I am waiting on a(tri)um before I commit to an idea. I will be happy to take 93 and then later take 77, I really like Egyptian themed things.

The top right corner might be better for an Egyptian theme.^^

And I did have an intention with the tile. I wanted to create A giant pit with a gross tentacle creature at the bottom.

Edited by Limes - 22 September 2014 at 8:51am

Top right doesn't have the space.

Edit: Ok I'll try not to interfere to #77 too much.

Claiming #85.


Edited by Gecimen - 22 September 2014 at 10:33am

I think the colorful pixels on the left are something like a bioluminescent fish fossil or something.

I want to show the inside of a pyramid, where a pharaoh is killing an archaeologist but I'm not sure how. I made a try for a cross section like this; but I'm not sure if I can fit the scene here.

I thought of properly breaking the pyramid but I couldn't manage it. Any refs how the outer wall may be broken? I mean normally the thing is full.

Edit: I might take a real different approach in this breaking thing so don't move from here, Limes.

Edit2: I don't know something like this maybe (imagine with whole top off).



Edited by Gecimen - 22 September 2014 at 2:49pm

@Gecimen Here is one of a pyramid eroded out. You can see the internal structure and pretty much piles of sandy material indicating the erosion, some filled up crevices as well. Not what you were looking for exactly but maybe it can help.

Also it occurs to me that a cutout for the following type could help you maximize your workable area. I did it very quickly and used wrong colors but I hope it conveys the idea nonetheless.



Hope it helps.

Love the pyramid idea and pixels by the way.

since I kinda have something to work off of ill start with mine. jeez this is hard. I have to try to squish in a sphinx!!

Edited by Limes - 23 September 2014 at 12:45pm

I think you two should resize and shift that pyramid around so that you don't force 5 different tiles to be part of it if they choose not to be.

If it helps you can throw the top tip of the pyramid into my tile with the ghost which I can delete if it clashes with whatever is in the hole.

Collabing is what's its all about but try no to monopolize big areas unless you have others who accept mini-collabs within the whole.

I'm reserving #16

Edited by jalonso - 23 September 2014 at 2:19pm

It will only include 2 tiles except mine, one of which is reserved by Limes already, and I think Pix.Ed. is willing to take part on the other.

Yet again I disagree on this idea as a whole. You see, for example, once I'm done with my tile, Limes can collapse his side of the pyramid to the ground and start something else. Or he can raise a barrow that absorbs it and draw something totally different on top of it. Or he can just make the baseline much smaller. Or he can just continue the pyramid and draw his own related ideas there. Infinite options really. Not like I'm forcing anyone anything.



I don't think it will help at all, without entering Levaunt's tile and I wouldn't want to do that.

@Pix.Ed. That's great!


Edited by Gecimen - 24 September 2014 at 4:18am

Yes I usually tend to delete any signs of continuation when I submit my final tiles (in order not to over-affect anyone) but this time I had to ask for others' ideas about how to render the pyramid. Anyhow, I'll post another WIP today and that'll clear up the confusions.

Edit: Ok basicly this is the base of what I'm going to submit. I'll include action scenes and refine it allover. Limes & Pix.Ed., feel free to start your tiles. As I said above, you're not obligated to continue the pyramid in its full form.


I added the characters but I don't like them too much, especially the intruder. Are they too small? Should I outline them? Any ideas?


@Jalonso; want to add something (another ghost or tombstone for example) to the space inbetween?
