The theme for this isometric collaboration is science, inventions, molecules, germs, atoms, experiments, explosions, germ warfare, Rube Goldberg type things, Steampunky and Cyberpunky. Open to anything at all including mutations of creatures so long as its all within the theme in some manner.

Rules
• You can create more than one tile but your tile may not neighbor your own tile (even diagonally).
• Only one active tile reservation at any one time per participant. You must finish a tile before making a new one.
• Once you reserve a tile you must post an initial WIP within 7 days so it doesn't hold others up.
• Once you post an initial WIP you get 14 days to update your tile or post a comment letting us know its active. Every new WIP/post update (busy, school, work, sick, moving, etc.) thereafter buys you 14 days.
• Outer tiles MUST use transparency to 'break the grid'. (See the last collab edges HERE)
• Inner tiles CAN NOT use transparency.
• You must use the supplied palette colors (16) only, but you don't have to use them all in your tile (Those making outer tiles will have one extra color for transparency).
• NO animations.
• Your tile must match the tiles surrounding yours, unless your tile has no neighbors (first 5 tiles). This will become increasingly tougher as tiles get added. Some tiles will need to match on as many as 4 sides.
• Matching your neighbors does not mean it has to continue their idea/concept. Just that it blends seamlessly somehow.
• Please keep the collab's general light-source and scale as shown below consistent in your tile. This may be tweaked in your tile if you use secondary light sources.
• Please post your tile on its own as a comment and make sure to say what number it is and it will be added to the collab master image by a Collab Manager in order to keep the color palette true.
• Your tile may be added to the master image in WIP stages if it shows the tile's direction enough to help others visualize their own tiles.

Special Rules
• The first 5 tiles may be anywhere at all and require no neighboring tiles.
• From the 6th tile on your tile MUST have at least one neighboring tile already posted that your tile blends into.
• If one of the first 5 tiles picked is next to the first 4 tiles then tile number 6 may pick a tile with no neighbors. Or once 5 general starting points have begun.
• In the event that a tile is made without a reservation or 2 people accidentally work on the same tile a special vote may be held, or a duel to the death may be started by the 2 people.
• Special rule(s) may be added to accommodate whatever loophole y'alls manage to find and exploit.

Notes
• Novice or pro, all are encouraged to collaborate.
• Possible tile rejection if your tile is not in isometric projection or fails in scale.
• Possible tile rejection if your tile does not match and blend into your neighbor(s) tile.
• Possible tile rejection if your tile just doesn't blend in with some degree of harmony. Should this happen to you check for comments left for you...there will be some!
• You can get tips and help to improve your tile on this thread. No need to make a separate WIP thread.
• You are encouraged to take all c+c on your tile. You do not need to apply all given c+c but please don't ignore them. Especially from your neighbor. Remember this is a 'collaboration'.
• Please use the 'PJs Image Specs' link HERE or even more details HERE to check your final tile colors has max 16 colors (17 if an outer tile) and the right colors.

This project features DawnBringer's award winning pallete, FUN16.
If you submit your tile to your PJ Gallery you do not need to credit DawnBringer but it would be nice of you.

@Silenia, This is a collab to learn from others and bring yourself up in skill since you have to match the neighboring tiles.
I would say in your case to yes, wait until there is some starting point you are comfortable with and then give it a try.
This thread is also a place to get help, ask questions and learn along the way.
We want involvement and don't be shy because others will learn from you too...its a collab :p

Not much to learn from me when it comes to ISO, I'm afraid. :P
Will definitely join in at some point, though. =)

I will definitely be joining in but I'm gonna wait before choosing :)

This guy look okay?

Dibs on 69 

i will, but not yet :b

Hey guys, all of you until now, have their tiles.
SpeedyCube 65
Finlal 42
Peyton 69
Tidybraveguinea 49
Mirre 13

@Speedycube, the guy is perfect.

I'll edit the res list once I get to my own laptop, which will be later today.

Edit: with 5 tiles reserved, let's try to wait for the reserved ones to be completed, since each complete tile will let us reserve 4 more. For this period I will be cancelling reservations much quicker than normal in order not to make people wait.

BUT IF YOU HAVE A VERY GOOD IDEA AND IT CAN'T WAIT, I'LL MAKE EXCEPTIONS.

First sketch. Bunch of scientists playing Kubrick.

Edit: damn it. 42 is neighbor to 49.
Maybe I'll take 29 then?

Edited by Finlal - 13 June 2015 at 7:35am

Mind giving me 47? I'm excited for this, but I have no idea what to do lol. I'll have to think about it..

77 plz :)

can I take 77 ^-^

heh I was joking q:

Here's progress:

Got kinda lazy with the tanks, maybe I'll switch the bodies up later.

Some WIP

Use an image host you like and upload your art there and then using the 'tree' icon above paste the link to the file to post it here.

Many in Pixeljoint use imgur.com. Its a good imagehost.

www.imgur.com - upload image - copy paste the forum link here that goes like [img]

I'm not sure if I 've received a tile, but here's a WIP:

This is a vat-grown dragon.

Speedy, you have a great start.
Maybe lay the ground/setting and then come back in when your neighbors have their setting so you're not bogged down with the details since its so hard to know what details you really need to make the tanks really work and stand out?...just a suggestion.

Do the rider fit the scale?
I still need to get used to it.

I will take 71

@Speedycube; yes of course. 66 is yours now.



Going great already :)

Nice edit, thanks.
actually I will correct all lighting and colors, the farmer is only for scale. :3

Update:


I'm having doubts is the choice of colors, if someone have some tip, i need.

may I reserve number 64 please?
