Everyone has a lot of things to add to the collab, so the smallest one is preferable :)

WiP of #93




@cjlm123 that looks perfect! Looks way better than I imagined. Don't want to be intrusive but what do you think about adding a rat ;)

Hey, getting feedback and suggestions is like 90% of the fun. I'll add a rat if I can make it look good.

Also, awesome WIP! Are you gonna add the watcher in the water?

Yes! Actually your tentacle shapes gave me the inspiration :)

Try to look at my rats on the other side of the cart. Tried all my best to keep them in scale and not the size of cats from the castle, and the result is not great- kind of a compromise. Maybe you will get this right.

@gawrone: Speak 'friend' and enter? :D

Love your Japanese collab @gawrone and @cjlm123 All the details are fantastic.

@Irenaart: Your Shrek tile came out so good! It's gonna be fun to continue next to it.

@ThrillhouseSSB: Very nice tile!



Does anyone know of any good pixel art apps that could be used on a smartpad (Samsung, not iPad)? I'll be in the cottage over the weekend and would like to pixel a little, but don't have a laptop to bring.

@gawrone

Oh, I didn't even realize the Copernicus tile was yours!
I'll see what I can do based off the rats you already did.

Btw, feel free to expand into 92 as much as you need for your tile.

@Mirre, glad you like our eastern collab. I hope that you find a solution becasue we all need your pixels in the collab. Unfortunately I don't know any :(


@cjlm123 I dig the idea of the road we already have going under the bridge. Maybe the considerable solution would be to break it after the first large arch - like it was so old that it collapsed in ruin? Than the wole bottom left part would still be open for many ideas people might have.

Here's a very rough WIP before I leave. We'll see if I find a way to work on it while there. Gonna be some bodies on that square (cart), gravestones in the background I think...

Thanks for the feedback everyone, the shadows were something I struggled with a bit so the advice will be super helpful. I will do a bit more work on my tile and update it. I'll keep all the edges the same though so people can work on surrounding tiles.

@Mirre I use Pixel Studio on my phone which is a Samsung, so I'd assume it would be available on a Smartpad. For a mobile app it actually has a lot of useful features. It also can read Aseprite files (if you use Aseprite), so you can keep layers and stuff. I pretty much use it whenever I'm not home.

@ThrillhouseSSB: Oh, fantastic. Thank you! I use Aseprite now, have both a Samsung phone and smartpad and I installed Pixel Studio to try it out. I'll make sure I have the aseprite files with me too. :)

@gawrone; rather than making an awkward shore, why not let a river run like this?


Claiming #3.

Edit: calling this done unless anyone has any suggestions.

1) I'm totally open for that. It looks better and changes nothing in my main idea.

@Drea, would you be into that to add a part of the river?




2) Good start. The face is not isometric though. Also check your palette. Seems like you have two extra colours. Other than that, keep up the good work. Excited to see how it will come out.

Lol this is perfect. You deserve a golden award.

I want to unclaim my tile. I decided that I don't like ISO collabs anymore so I'm gonna leave y'all in the dust. Goodbye and good riddance lololololololol
(Jk of course! I love ISO collabs and I'm still working on my tile as always! Just wanted to have a good laugh for today so please don't take the above seriously xD)

Might be done, tough one to figure out the geometry, tried to make a slop on the grass to make stuff line up.

Hope it comes across well?

I don't see any problems with geometry but it's a big missed opportunity to leave the bridge empty. Why not put a bridge troll or something on it? If it doesn't fit, you can just put it partially.

Going good! Progress has slowed down a little but I think I got the foundations down. Now just need to detail and polish. Also for the upcoming weekend, there may not be much updating from me as I'm away for Easter this weekend, lol
Also putting down my own sort of dead tree. Gargamel's house in the cartoon seems to change a bit depending on the screenshot I'm looking at (e.g. there's a second chimney on the roof in another image I saw) and the tree isn't consistent xD

hmm, the troll kind of looks like stinky from The Moomins.

Haha so you made the troll under the bridge, nice touch!

You see, apart from the overall geometry, quality and aesthetics of a tile, the theme requires you to put some relevant characters or things in it, so when people look at the collab they can also find interesting bits (apart from thinking it's awesome).

Great tile.

Troll under the bridge was at my list of things that are mandatory for this collab. So thanks to you I’m crossing that off with satisfaction. Thank you!

That brings me to another thing. One of must have is GOT. I don’t feel competent to draw a GOT tile and to even choose what scene or which characters should be portrayed (fan favourite Tyrion for sure). If anyone has an idea for a tile or even a mini collab, please let us know. The medieval/fantasy collab will not be complete without it.

The arch bridge should be a good place to put GoT characters, I remember there is even a city over a similar bridge.

@Sazdx I like the idea on the draft. The arch goes in the wrong direction. It should be two arched pigsty but with both arches on the same wall - going in left bottom direction. At least that’s what I intended by drawing the right and middle columns the same. But if you think this will be better or you need it smaller for your idea let me know and I will add few pixels to adapt the corner.


@Eggy, Gargamel’s palace is looking great. I also like the hanging roots. Can’t wait to see it in full glory.

Bonus challenge for the collab. Have a cartoon in each corner. I can think only of Disney Gummi Bears. Any ideas for the 4th one, (that is not already in the collab)?

If the bridge continues out into a straight road, it would be a good place to depict king Robert's caravan to Winterfell from the first book/season. Large ostentatious waggon and a vanvuard of knights, plus many well known characters.

Since Robin Hood is already in, in human form, I would vote for Tales from the Earthsea - it will cover 1) Ghibli, 2) fantasy novel series by one of my favourite authors, 3) fourth cartoon corner challenge :P

@Irenaart, from the previous collabs I think it would be justified to say that you specialise in both corners and cartoon characters. Would you give us honour of doing one in #91? Time is not an issue ;)

@gawrone i'll be honest, I dont think the river fits there, too close to the well/village area and the next tiles over will connect to the river under the bridge. here is my tile atm

Oh dear, I forgot there were animated discworld adaptations. Too many beloved characters to fit in one tile.

Oh! I didn't know, should I make it follow the wall into the bottom tile, then =)? I don't mind tweaking that ^^ Did you happen to make a sketch of the pigsty when you made the tile =O?
