@Sergiotron, your profile default setting are off. Try this:
Go to Page 1 Post 1 and download the main image (or the palette since it has the colors and HEX values).

Open that file  >
drag/drop your tile >
See what dialog box comes up. If your settings have profile warnings checked then it will tell you the profile differences.

*I'm almost sure my settings are also:
RGB: sRGB IEC61966-2.1
CMYK: U.S. Web Coated (SWOP) v2
Gray: Dot gain 20%
Spot: Dot gain 20%

With no file open at all change your settings to this:

Check the 3 boxes with the 'Arrow ??'
Then open the files. Those 3 dialog boxes get really annoying so turn off after you are done.

Great! thanks for the help!

Do the colors change on the original or your tile?

*I encounter this issue from time to time too so don't think its just you.
A cheat for this is to have an 'empty file' on your desktop which is all pixel friendly (for example, any file in cure's gallery (the monster's sheet is good)will do as his files are technically output perfect, level balanced, etc.). Then whenever you are going to pixel open that empty file, change the canvas size as needed and 'save as'. Then start pixelling. This insures anything you drop into the file automatically adjusts and converts...I do this all the time because I use PS for many reasons and not always pixel work. This just keeps me from having to 'think' when I'm feeling creative.

If #56 is open for reservation, I'd like to reserve it :)

Could I tentatively claim #15 then?

I'm not sure I can do it, but I'll give it a shot...

My beginning; it is bed time now.
I would certainly like some suggestions towards making better water, if anyone has some. ^-^

It's a GREAt start. 2 issues:
1- you should drop shadows and reflections over the water witht he 2 other tones of blue.
2- you can use some browns in the sand in larger areas instead of small grains.

I really like the rocky part of your tile.

The first issues that come to me are:
1-These edges are too corner-ish and not anti-aliased
2-The waterfall shouldn't have a corner I think.

I'm a bit confused. I remember being told that number eight turned out to be taken but I guess its not. Oh well then. I'l continue then.

The one who took it before you left it to you :)

This is the current setup you can work on:

@Jim16, Oke has 52 reserved. The reservation list will be cleaned up this weekend so please check in again in a day or so. We want you in, so the next cleared tile is yours first to decline or accept :)

@Gecimen, what's our reservation deadline looking like atm?

I will pm kevink right now about 44.
Is 60 shampoop active?

Ive got all week free. So if something frees up be sure to pm me.

Edit:
I retract my statement. I'll be doing free lance work. So now I'm busy all week.

@ekobor; yes definitely you've made progress. Maybe you can AA the streaming water on the rocks. Apart from that you can add something interesting in the tile if you wish. Maybe only a palm tree and a camel?

Y'know, I always find it so neat that someone can change so little of something, but make it so different!

I'll definitely take more shadows under my hat, you've given me some further direction that I want to explore -nodnod-

Edit:


I tried to bring out some of the contours that I was imagining using the method of shadows you put down, as well as darkening the rocks and hopefully making them stand up better.
I'm still playing with that waterfall, but I just noticed that, between my tweaking and IvanM's edits, the river doesn't match up anymore(not hardly!). So I've left that off for now.

I'll be back to it, but it is break time again. ^-^

I matched the edge up to IvanM's.

I want to add something interesting, I'm just not sure what. The camel and palm tree might just end up being it.

I was thinking of trying to show shimmery fish under the water, or making the water different in some way, but water and I just don't get along at the best of times.

We'll see what I come up with; I'll be back at it after work tomorrow.

I am reading a book about werewolves. That should explain the "interest" I felt like adding:

It's just looking better and better ekobor!

I've got one little thing to say,
The sand texture on the lower right side, don't you think it's too empty? That pure yellow area stands out as a line when I put your tile on the main picture.

Sorry that tile is reserved and completed (see the above post).
Right now we're short of free tiles. Please check back in a day or two.

@ekobor - I tried to notice the line Gecimen mentioned, but I noticed a few things.  First, the tile is too large by 2 diagonal lines.  Second, the river doesn't line up.


Great looking tile otherwise.

I thought the main image was updated.  Nevermind then.

Ok in order to avoid confusion I've glued the latest updates together.
