Small update on #97:

Sure, Why not? You can claim it if you wish again.

Sure bypatryk, np

No worries mate only a few tiles left, one person with some focus could end the collab within a couple of weeks :) In the mean time why don't you just pick a new tile?

I originally claimed tile #97 ages ago, but couldn't work further on it back then.
Seeing that the tile is still open I just finished it now.


@Gecimen Sorry for taking so long with this tile. I know you contacted me a quite a while ago, but I was just super busy the last few months :/.

@aeveis; No problem! #21 is yours. Enjoy!

With the good numbers on the ''Santa Project'' I think it can be do again.

Looks good so far. Great to see the collab getting some new tiles in after a bit of a slow period.

It could be, but this tile connects with your other tiles, that's why Gecimen proposed you to choose a different tile. Also I don't think it is ok to grab Eggy's WiP and edit it. We all want Planet ISO to be completed, but not with the cost of breaking most important rules of the collab. I think that much better way, in this particual case, would be to PM Eggy reminding her about this collab and asking her to finish that tile, since it was already at a very advanced state last time she presented it.

I know but better this than nothing...
And I cannot pick a new tile because covid...
If Eggy want to change everyting, because was her wip, she can.

Ehm...and instead yes, because I don't think I can do others tile or other pieces...
I just pick this tile unfinisced for fun, no need to be angry.

All tiles reserved at this point.

Looks great!

@PC PIXEL This collab is also meant to be a learning opportunity to see how other artists pixel and perhaps to try and match the style of other tiles around it. It doesn't have to be perfect. Finishing someone else's tile might be fine for your own practice, but you should respect the rules. Disrespecting the rules could be enough reason for someone to be angry, whether or not it's for fun or not. I wouldn't sell yourself short in attempting to do a new tile (with the next collab perhaps) - it's also nice to be able to get feedback and see how you can do things better. I usually have no idea what I'm going to do before I start, but having to complete something I think helps generate at least some ideas.

Here's tile 21 for now, I think it's basically done pending any feedback:

WIP on #89

I've filled in the background based on what's around me, and I plan on adding in a space whale. Anyone have any tips to improve how I finished the moon from tile #82? Sometimes I like it, sometimes I don't haha.

Cool, tell me when you think it's finished.

WIP on #89
I'm struggling with making sure the whale doesn't look out of place.
Also struggling with his tail. Any c+c is welcome and ideas.
I wanted him to have grass growing on his back,
but that's making the tail look even more out of place I think,
so I may have to trash that idea and just texture maybe.

@starlit sunset: I always find focusing on where light would fall helps me immensely when it comes to things like this since it immediately gets me thinking in three dimensions. Everyone has a different process of course but something like this is generally where I start with things.



Just some really harsh highlights and a silhouette. Then I flesh details out from there and and move things around as problems come up. Focusing on the light source and shifting things around with that in mind might help you a bit here.

That plant life on his back looks awesome. I also think as others that the tail seems out of place becasue it is not shaded properly, and the whale looks flat. The light source in the collab is set from the right so the raised tip of the tail should be covered in shadow from the head.

As for the bomb if you struggle with the shape try to copy the original, just as you did pro job with the moon textures. Your bomb end is too vertical.

Nice job Eggy!
