	In addition to what Gawrone has already said, modern myths such as aliens count too. Also stuff like vampires, Bigfoot are all myths and count in. What TV show did you have in mind?

	@Gecimen @gawrone It's not a big deal. I just woke up with memory of Lost tv show and these stoies of island and stuff. For sure it wasn't set on anything real, so it's okay, I'll keep idea for the future. Moreover, this is not quite popular today, so probably no one will guess what is it. Idea for tile was Jacob and this smoke dude playing Senet I'll take something more old type. Can I reserve 17 or 88?

	@Xmenekai I think you can only reserve tiles adjacent to already-completed ones? Speaking of, I think I'll take 77 if it's open, I have an idea for it

	@korban looking great. @xmenekai; you can only reserve a neighbor of a complete tile such as 20, 21, 54, 70. @notacharmander; sure thing.

	Okay here's A first WIP for 45: I wanted to get a little bit fancy with the roof and make something that looked more specifically slavic, but right now I think it's a bit too fancy? I might throw this out and try something different. @Xmenekai; 21 is yours!

	Here's a WIP for #49, I'm doing Paul Bunyan and his ox, my general idea is to have them around a bunch of stumps that he cut down. I'm really not very fast with this sort of thing so I apologize but it's been pretty fun so far :)

	@Trigonomicon: Roof looks great! I like the slavic touch to it. @Tipleloop: Baba Yaga and frog orchestra! How cute! @olive: Paul Bunyan and his blue ox, that's so fun! But both of them should be giants, right? The ox looks regular sized right now, about the same as my horse and way smaller than Reo's Ammit (tile #66). Just size them up a bit and it will be great!

Or just help the transition if you'd like more space for it, you can take up that area of the tile, and I'll make the changes!

	@Xmenekai: Very nice character! You continued the pyramid so nicely too. The Oni is in a different perspective, not isometric. I made a quick edit to show you how you can do it in iso instead. I usually draw guidelines on a separate layer for reference to make sure what I draw is iso.

I guess so.. if they depict some sort of native American mythology even if your depiction is not too solidly based on some actual myth. But just some random totems? Probably not.

	Very rough WIP sketch for 77: It's a giant snake/basilisk chasing Eve from the garden in 69 at the same time as Pandora opening her box/jar. Kind of a crossover of "source of evil" myths lol. Plus playing around with apples everywhere because why not.

	Wow, everyone is working so fast and doing so good, I should really try to get going so I don't hold anyone up. Here's a new WIP: Feeling much better about the roof after shifting down to darker colors. I also wore it down a little, and added a couple skulls, because I'm pretty sure Baba should have some skeletons around. Also, an eye? This has no basis in any myth I heard but just kinda happened while experimenting and I kinda like it.

	Quick hypothetical: How would everyone feel about the world serpent encircling the entire collab? Might be a bit boring for everyone to draw identical snake segments over and over... @Tipleloop: ah of course, I think this should be correct? I'm feeling pretty done with the hut now so you shouldn't have to wait for me anymore, but let me know if there's anything else I should change. @vrine: extremely good shimmering scales you got going there.

	Doesn't have to appear on every border tile, the snake body could make subtle appearance in some border tiles and still convey the idea that it encircle the whole thing, if you go that way. The Collab is moving so fast and looking awesome already!! Great job everyone

Might be a bit boring for everyone to draw identical snake segments over and over... I made the same suggestion on page 1, but got no response. I would definitely help out! I am planning to do Thor hooking Jörmungandr, either on #38 or #8 if I can claim that one. Good suggestion of Umbohr too that it doesn't have to be visible in every single side tile as it can come up and down out of the water/sky/land.

	If the question is for me, I don't think we can force people to do it but if a few people draws it, I think others can follow. As Umbohr said not all border tiles need to show it but it can go in and out.

	Yes not everyone has to or need to do it, but if at least a few people are into the idea it's worth trying. Missed your post on the first page Mirre but in my defense there was a lot going on lol. Speaking of serpents: I have added in schrodingers snake-creature. There's plenty of serpentine creatures in mythology, and we won't know what kind this one is until someone does #38 And with that #45 is done.

	@Trigonomicon: Thank you!, I don't really had big concern with your tile, your roof are fantastic, and the terrain should be water (not swap), I'm more concern for #59 Paperfoe's tile, especially when I saw the totem WIP with 5 colours terrain?, then it changed to grass terrain, so ok I speed run this tile with grass at the border @Paperfoe: don't hesitate to tell me if you need to change something in my tile can't wait to see your tile! love to see the whale #52 Done and I made small revision for #37 (mainly on the music note)

	*Originally posted by ZapWo* So guys this is my first iso collab. Wanted to ask if this looks isometric? Also the character is still not ready: The shape of the cylinder itself looks fine but you're not really adhering to it with your rock shape. It is just placed above but it doesn't accurately describe the forms underneath? Also your other elements should also align with the grid, like the clouds! Good start!

Also the grass could use some texture around the right corner to adapt with the ledge. Adding your tile but it would be great if you update these.
