Alright everyone, with a week delay, here's our new ISO collab. As always, me and Jal will be running the collab. Please don't hesitate to ask any questions you may have. And have fun :)
---

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.
• (CHANGE FROM PREVIOUS COLLABS) Once you reserve a tile you must post an initial WIP within 4 days so it doesn't hold others up. 4 days pass quickly, so it is a good idea to post your WIP as soon as possible.
• (CHANGE FROM PREVIOUS COLLABS) Once you post an initial WIP you get 7 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 another 7 days. This period is given so that you don't have to rush it, try not to forget your reservation.
• 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 (11) 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. If you pick one of these first 5 tiles, please try to finish your tile a.s.a.p. in order to open up space for others.
• 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 11 colors (+ transparency, 12 if an outer tile) and the right colors.

FAQ:
Q: Can I extend my tile over someone else's tile?
A: No. You can only ask them to edit their own tile, and if they don't, you'll have to find another way.

Q: What can I do if I want to draw something really big?
A: If you want to draw something that will take more than 2 tiles, you can draw a lineart sketch and ask people to join your "mini collab". If it's something interesting, you will certainly find people. Then you do your own part and let other people do their own thing. Everyone can add their own taste into their own tiles. You can check previous collabs for mini collabs.

Q: Can somebody else finish my tile from where I left?
A: No. We may allow this under very special circumstances (e.g. health) but normally unless you want to finish your tile, you have to give up on it.

Q: Is it OK to drop my reservation? Will I be banned?
A: Not at all. You can drop your reservations as many times as you want.

Q: I can't reach a certain quality. What should I do?
A: Collabs are great for this. You can work on your neighbor tiles, listen to criticism, and start over as many times as you want. And when YOU are satisfied, you can say it's done. As long as your tile meets the criteria such as continuity, light, scale & perspetcive; we will accept it.

Q: Can I use some existing pixels in my tile?
A: No, even if it was made by you. Everything in your tile must be made for this collab, by yourself.

Q: When I reserve a tile, do I need confirmation by mods to begin working on it?
A: If you are sure of these, you can begin working without confirmation.
1- your previous tile (if any) is finished,
2- you haven't made a neighboring tile previously,
3- the same tile is not claimed by someone else (check out latest posts),
4- the tile has a completed neighboring tile by someone else.

First tile is Finlal's!

Lol Finlal I'm so gonna use this :)

25 is yours Mr Hk!

27 is a neighbor to 42, giving you 28 instead.

surely

I was very worried about you not getting one of the first 5 tiles >.<

@all, the first 5 tiles are reserved now.
All must wait for tile posts before reserving.

Hey Irenaart, welcome to pixeljoint forums. First 5 tiles are reserved as per rules, and any more reservations must wait one or more people to complete their tiles. Thank you.

Looks great, Finlal!

Awesome work Finlal!

May I now take tile 35?

yes 35 is yours

@all sorry you aren't good enough for this collab

I hereby claim tiles 1-98.

@jal I didn't think you could claim tiles that neighbor unfinished ones?

35 and 49 neighbor finals tile which he finished :p

Yeah, Ireenart's 35 would neighbor ArcadeHero's 28. q:

Finlal talking gibberish, you mean?
(Please, re-quote edited version. I wasn't paying attention to what my hands do with the keyboard.)

Also, a small edit which affects the border, if it's not too late.

Can I take 50 or should I wait for Mandrill?

And another edit.

@ Jal

I am gravely disappointed. Again you have made me unleash my dogs of war.

wip 49

Going for Mad Max 2.

WE at PJ understand that you panic easily and know that I would never just delete your reservations and would give you plenty of time to post in some manner.

Note that the new wording does not limit to posting an actual WIP update.
A simple post that says: 'Busy and panicking hold my tile'
is plenty and we did add wording for this:
Once you post an initial WIP you get 7 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 another 7 days.

A few things or characters from Splatoon is OK. Trying to force a big area to splatoon colors would hurt the atmosphere.



At the moment the only available tile is #50.

In hindsight, Splatoon isn't really apocalyptic, so I'll drop that for now.

WIP 2
Potion business was crappy, magic mushroom sells way better and nobody complains about the taste.

I loved ISOtopes, granted I held it up quite often, and I'm awfully sorry about that.

If that fact doesn't stop me from collaborating, I'll be taking 50, please. Looking forward to the finished product.

Mr Hk; that'd be great :)

drain; not at all, 50 is yours. It is OK to lose or drop your reservation once in a while. But of course it would be better if you would never make me check out expiration dates

Main image updated.

Finished =)
I'm polish it a little but borders are finals.
