Pixel Joint Forum: Suggest a Collaboration Project

Message

   Post all your brilliant pixel art collaboration project ideas here. 
When posting your ideas try and be as specific as possible while still being concise. It always helps make ideas clear for everyone when a template or example image is provided. Before an idea will be offered up for contributions the following questions have to be answered... 

Is the project isometric or non-isometric? 
How many colors are allowed?  Is there a palette? 
What are the maximum dimensions? Is it fixed width? Is it fixed height? 
How do the pieces join together if they join together at all?
Once the project idea is formalized post in the forum for all to contribute to. If the project gets enough interest we'll post a special page on Pixel Joint that brings it all together. 
Have fun!

	How about a pixel brothel? Guranteed ratings during sweeps.

	Using rectangular tiles the starter of the collaberation pixels a head, but doesn't post it. Then participants pixel some shoulders and bodybits etc, and PMs or email it to the starter of the collaberation, then he/she puts all the pieces together but doesn't post it. Participants can keep adding body bits until the starter of the collaberation stops them, pixels some feet, or asks someone else to do it, and then posts the complete monster and everyone can see the end result.

	That sounds cool DragonSoar. We used to do something like that on a piece of paper where we would fold it into three parts and just draw where the legs would connect and where the neck would connect as lines. I think I have your idea down. Each monster could be split into the following formula... 2 hands 2 arms 2 shoulders 2 legs 2 feet 1 chest 1 crotch 1 head When all the body parts are in a person could stitch them all together with some helper pixels. Maybe we could build a big collection of body part squares so people can build their own monsters. It would help if we had a simple outline of a person with no detail as a base. That way the pieces would fit together easier. Also a limitation of only four colors (any four colors) per body part would keep the palette from getting crazy. That would lead to a maximum of 52 colors per monster which is quite a big palette but not bad for a 13 piece monster. How does that sound? I'm going to start on my outline so you can see what I mean.

	There's an old Russian drawing game that's sort of like that. You draw the head, and the other person draws the body, but you don't know what the other body part is until both people are finished. This is just for laughs since someone may draw the head of a giraffe and their partner, the body of a chicken.

	Bags the crotch! But yeah, I think everyone has played that game. It's a lot of fun! I'm definately keen. I also agree with Sedge about the outline base, it's a must! I also think perhaps that the palette should be preset. Or that the compliler should unify the final product somehow by replacing any similar colours. I just get this horrible idea that I'd end up looking REALLY disjointed. Which would be fine if it were just the form, but I think the palette should blend well.

	OK, iSTVAN brings up a point... One person is going to have to volunteer to be the stitcher -- the person that joins them all together and makes some executive decisions about how the pieces should join and how the colors work. We could make it simple and only have three blocks or we could really split the bastard up into pieces. There would obviously have to be some overlap either way and that is what the "stitcher" is for... to make it all blend nicely. The shape of the body part doesn't have to follow the outline at all, but it should match the join parts (the parts in green) perfectly. Which version do you think we should use? Simple or complex?

	Obviously simple, there's no good reason to use complex, since nobody would want to do the shoulders, etc. Plus, there won't be any low quality left shoulder, high quality right shoulder, etc.

	What are you talking abou?! Shoulders would still be fun to do! And differences in quality will appear regardless! Remember, not everyone can do the head. However, I agree the simpler one would be better, because the complex version would need MUCH more restrictions, eg. lines seperating the feet so they dont overlap, etc. Thats not to say it wouldnt be fun though. In the case of using the simlier version, I think it would do to make the outline smaller, half even. Nothing agaisnt Sedge's spiffing outline, its just seems like the person doing the midsection has A LOT more work. Perhaps you could have different size frames? Or build up to bigger people. Ooh, and I'm happy to be the stitcher, if no one else had their hearts set on it! What we need now is people to volunteer for a section, and compose groups, I guess...
