I call it The 4-Letter Collab

The objective of this collab is to pixel the sections in 1 by 1 to come up with a 4 letter word that actually exists. There are 16 squares that means 4 sections for one letter.

  • Non-isometric.
  • There is no pallete. Will explain in the rules.
  • The maximum dimensions are on the canvas that you can view bellow. 
  • People will take the picture and draw their piece, post it for the next person.

    Canvas

    Rules: (Mwuahahahhaa!)

    • You can only do one section at a time. (wait for another person to do a section and only then can you make another)
    • Must do the sections in order (1, 2, 3, 4 do I need to go on?)
    • You may do ANY style of the part of the letter but make sure it makes sence and isn't too complex so that the next person can't figure out your shape...

    To clear things up I made a quick sketchy example.

  •  

    Just a little hint: You CAN start out with doing it isometric, that way it could be pretty interesting and challenging to pixel in isometric-different-style letters.

    Good luck!

    If you made it smaller, submitted a finished first piece and tightened the requirements it'd be easier to get people on board me thinks.

    Thank you Brian! The trick of this collab is you guys have to come up with 4 letter word yourself.

    Very nice style Brain. I can't wait to see all the tiles filled in. I might do one later on if I get a good idea.

    dude... it's pretty damn simple to follow... as long as people don't screw it up by making the next letter something stupid like a "q" then it's gonna work out fine

    Yep yep. Here are a few options for anybody that wants to start on the next letter.

    U (Fuel and umm.. yeah!)

    O (Foil, Folk, Font, Fork etc)

    It's pretty easy the drawing would be the hard part for me but I'm managing so far  I hope :P

    I would want it to be an existing word since that is one of the main goals of this collab. (seems like only two people are participating though ) Besides, what's the point of making random letters? If nobody is going to take spot 6 then I guess i'll continue the pattern of me being next. I'll edit it when I'm done.

    I'm totally intrigued by the outcome of this. I'd participate as well but, at the moment, it's difficult to do any pixel work this month as I'm temporarily staying at a friends place this month.

    "We look on as the members of pixeljoint slowly form a four letter word. Can they bend from the infamous four-letter f-word before it is too late? will it end up as "funk" because of a gross misspelling? Will the second letter even be completed as a "U"? Stay tuned to the drama, we're sure to know soon."

    Aww you messed it up and made the letter a m. Now it can't really be a word. I don't know any four letter words anyway that include fum as the first 3 letters.

    Sweet! I come back and what do I see? My collab going from 2 people participating to almost getting done. Well I'm not back officially - still in Kazakhstan chilling with my dad. I'll leave that last number to someone else. ;)

    And if you guys liked this collab you can start another one. Same rules, or change them around a bit.  Untill later.

    Well, as you seem to celebrate the finished thing already I admit I didn't put much effort into the last part. But I had fun doing it (never seen such creatures before) and that's the point isn't it?

    I also took the liberty to erase the white background and make it transparent instead. It's easy to reinstate the white if you would prefer that




    Also, I wouldn't mind starting over with a new word, and since it doesn't have to be very complicated let's just use the original template from this thread, mmkay? But.. Wouldn't it look prettier if we tried to.. well.. merge all the boxes a bit better? So that it looks like one letter rather than pieces of nothing put together.

    Too bad I didn't contribute, but anyways, what do you think of making every next tile have 'transition' from the previous one, i.e. not have such abrupt borders between the tiles.

    aight, sorry for not being clear:
    I meant that for every next tile, the artist has to make a 'transition' from the previous tile to his own, so that the different parts seem to 'flow' into one another.

    Oh ok. Well, then that really would go off the idea of this collab since everyone has their own style and everyone is at their own level of pixel art so to make a nice transition from the previous tile of a different person would be pretty hard and might get confussing.

    Ok, time to start another one.

    Same Rules.

    ---

    The objective of this collab is to pixel the sections in 1 by 1 to come up with a 4 letter word that actually exists. There are 16 squares that means 4 sections for one letter.

  • Non-isometric.
  • There is no pallete. Will explain in the rules.
  • The maximum dimensions are on the canvas that you can view bellow. 
  • People will take the picture and draw their piece, post it for the next person.

    Rules: (Mwuahahahhaa!)

    • You can only do one section at a time. (wait for another person to do a section and only then can you make another)
    • Must do the sections in order (1, 2, 3, 4 do I need to go on?)
    • You may do ANY style of the part of the letter but make sure it makes sence and isn't too complex so that the next person can't figure out your shape...
