You are doing fine. You could make a good connection of the wall with the right tile, by usinf left tile as reference (in the pink circle). Instead of making all the bricks same and dark, make the loswest ones with dark outlines, and top ones without them and painted with larger light blue clusters. This way you could make the conenction work with both sides, as both seem similar in that way.


Also add the shadow of the bridge on the beach (teal selected area). You can use same browns and teals used on the sand dunes nearby.

Working on those tree trunks now, think the leaves are (mostly) done.

@vierbit - The bridge looks absolutely beautiful!

@eggy - Looking good! I think if you removed the refracted lighting at the bottom of the leaves/clumps, they would look much more cohesive with the others!

Yeah those were there to help separate the treetops from the darker parts below, I'll see about removing them.

Gotta apologise for the slow progress on this one.

The plan is to have a dragon peaking out from behind the rocks waiting to eat someone coming from the chute.

Trees are finally done. Sorry for the incredibly slow progress. My focus has been shifting away but I'd like to see to the end of this since it's so far in.

@Reo, oh thank you so much for being with us and having this idea. It now seems like it's simply a must have on ISOrd and ISOrcery, yet nobody made it before :)


@Gen_void please do! Until this one is finished you can print a home decoration out of any of the previous collabs (links on the first page). And if you feel like it, please share the photo of the result :)


@Eggy, the trees are looking great. What's comming up next?

@gawrone Think I will work on the ground next. From what I feel that's the last thing left before I place Gargamel in and call it a day. This has certainly been the biggest tile I've made yet, lol.

@Reo, he, he no problem. #57 is yours! Great #48 btw!

@Eggy, great progress on trees. And I would love to see and Azrael with Gargamel, and maybe some Smurfs too. Actually, you have enough space to incorporate a few mushroom houses in the scene. What you think?

Yeah, I would say Azrael is a priority after Gargamel in here :) Smurfs and mushroom houses would be great, but if it’s not fitting your concept for the space or you had enough of that enormous tile, and already want to make a fast small one ;) than please consider adding the kitty too before calling it done.

@Reo; that's really amazing, when starting the collab I thought what can be done about DND and the best thing that came to me was a dragon - but the die really nailed it.

Sparky the legs still aren’t the same height! And I must say I think the Phoenix read better before I think it gets mixed up with the fire a bit now.

Looking good! I like the style you've chosen for the dragon, looks very medieval!

A quick update to show I'm not deceased - currently working on the 2nd last sprite! Once the sprites are done I'll move onto polishing the sand/environment etc.

I think I'm done with #96 (and my final tile!).

@vrine, obviously feel free to do whatever you want with the area that juts into your tile, just though it would make sense to have sand partially falling over more of the stalactites.

It might be cool to have another column of stalactites hanging from the very peak of that precipice like so:

Oh whoops, you're right of course. The rules do allow expanding into transparent space on the border tiles, but I guess it's meant to be once the final tile youre expanding into has been submitted.

@Crispy; no problem, #25 is yours! If you need some advice, feel free to ask, also you have a fantastic opportunity to learn from other artists here, studying their finished tiles, their decisions on how to texture, what colors to use for what purpose,... And don't forget to enjoy!

Here's my WIP so far for 25. I started it a few days before taking the tile to see how I'd go and honestly I'm pretty proud of how it's turning out. Still has a lot to go though.

Think this is nearing completion! Again really sorry for the slow progress. Just hoping this will be done soon, lol. Just need to figure out how to implement Gargamel (do have a potential idea though), and since people wanted it I guess Azrael too haha.

Hmm do you mean some of the small and subtle shadows that I see in places? Tried to look but it didn't seem like all the structures had a big and distinctive shadow haha. I might be able to add something if it absolutely needs one but at this stage I just wanna be able to wrap it up with my next post xD

Well yes all the structures in the collab has a shadow, some big and distinctive, some subtle (mostly because of unexpected tile intersections). Our light source dictates shadows but you can keep it subtle.

Something like this:

Yeah, it's bit tricky. If you just extend the steps it wouldn't work well.
It still isn't perfect, but finding solutions that work is also part of the challenge in these collaborations.:)
