Iso Collaboration III: Return of the Grid (Completed!)

[robalan]

Greetings and salutations to all you pixel artists out there!

I present to you: Iso Collaboration III!



For those of you who don't know the rules, they are as follows:
1. Each person may make one tile, or set of connected, similarly-colored tiles at a time.  For example, you could reserve a single tile, like 75, or you could reserve a block of tiles like {79-88-89} or {21-30-36-44-43} or "That yellow chunk with 35 in it".  Keep in mind that blocks of tiles must be touching along a side and of the same color.  Also, if you do not want to do the entirety of a large block, but want to put tiles in that area, that's fine too.  The block rule is completely optional.
2. Ideally, new tiles should connect to pre-existing tiles, but this rule can be stretched if deemed appropriate.
3. Please announce what tiles you are planning to do.  I will attempt to keep this post updated with the newest version, and mark spaces that are currently in progress.
4. Please try to use colors from tiles that have already been made, so as to attempt to make some semblance of unity in the collaboration.
5. Don't be afraid to break the iso grid.  The last one, though it did not get finished, broke the grid very nicely.
6. Be creative, and overall, have fun!

Ready, set, go!

Just being a nerd. 

[neverest]

cool
I'd like to reserve 19, 20, 31,32 & 35 please.
I'll edit them when I get home from work though so if anyone else wants to start in the meantime dont wait for me.

[Nix]

cani reserve 1 please

[.TakaM]

 
edit-
I should mention the sprite is my edit of a sprite of faceless's

[Dascu]

Keep 98 free for me please.

[Sohashu]

Ill take 2 and 3.

[vierbit]

Oh nice.
I take 82 & 96

[Lick]

Can someone point me to the previous iso collaborations? (I & II)

[raynoa]

I will take 53 and 54

[crab2selout.png]

takaM, great start! Very nice colours, and I like the style of the guy. The flat shading and black outlines gives him something of a boktai vibe.

[robalan]

First post modified with tiles grayed out to note claimed spaces.  Also, rule one has been modified to say "blocks of tiles must be touching along a side and of the same color".  Thanks Sohashu for bringing that error to my attention ;-)

@Sohashu: did you really want 2 and 3?  or did you want 2&5 or 3&8?  2 and 3 are not a legal combination, but I think you knew that ;-)

@Lick: I didn't save the final version of the first collab; the newest version I have is this one.  Does anybody have the final version of that one?  The second one was not finished due to Pixelation going flump, but it looked like this when it stopped.

@TakaM: Nice tile; let's see what people do with this.

@everybody: It would appear that rule 2 is being completely ignored.  I suspect that this will end up being quite interesting, since chances are people will start with completely different themes.  I'll let this stand for now; the last one benefitted from being started in completely different ways.  However, please try to choose tiles near already-completed ones so that this does not end up being a strange patchwork quilt.  Good luck, everyone!

[Xion]

May I have 69 and 58 please?

[neverest]

Sorry I was so slow, I probably shouldnt have reserved my tiles til I got home!

[reydragk]

I'd like to request 21, 30, and 36

[Faktablad]

May I have 22, 33 and 34?

[God Slayer]

Just make some art for Christ sakes. Surely, this early in the competition, you can put your bit somewhere, just do it.

[mrmean]

ill take 17 and 38

[robalan]

Nice tiles, Neverest!  I'm glad the themes of the thus-submitted tiles are similar.

@mrmean: not only are the tiles you claimed not touching, they aren't even the same color.  So I gave you 17 alone; if you want to claim 38 after you do 17, that's fine.

First post updated again; let's see these claimed tiles get filled!

[Sohashu]

Woops.  They are touching at the corner.  OH well.  Ill take 2 and 5.

[mrmean]

sorry, didnt read the rules  instead of 38 i take 15

[Perciv@l]

I'm posting this just to people remember to check the lightsource before start shading, in this case top-left. This can avoid some incompatibilities in the future. 

[crab2selout.png]

I don't think we should be saving in the GIF format. I haven't checked it to see how many colours are in there right now, but a 24-bit PNG seems to be the best format for saving to prevent colour loss in the later stages.

[Xion]

[.TakaM]

wow, looking great so far, just wondering about one thing, or should I say two things:

do those parts count as one reservable part?

[robalan]

@mrmean: that's still not a legal group; those tiles are not the same color.  If you finish 17 and 15 has not yet been chosen, you can take that then.

@Xion: sweet tiles.  I want to see what people are going to do with that.

@.TakaM: No, they do not.  They have to actually touch at a full edge as tiles; the groups you highlighted are in different planes and do not actually touch in three dimensional space.

[ndchristie]

reserving 37,47 if i may

[Perciv@l]

I'll take 57, 68, 84.

[Dustin]

I'd like to take 10 and 11, please.  And if you'd let me, I'll even do 24, 27 and 28.  If not, then 10 and 11 are fine.

[ndchristie]

tried to use the nearby colors a bit....



in case you cant tell, the path wraps down and around on the right

is it possible now to do another section or do i just get the one bit for this? iff possible, id like to do the 71,85 block

[robalan]

@Adarias: Very nice tiles.  And yes, you can have the 71,85 block.  They've been grayed for you.

@Dustin: Sure, you can have the whole thing.  It's been grayed for you.

I like how this is progressing.  Now I just have to figure out if there's somewhere I can place a tile without messing the whole thing up :-P

[Xion]

May I have 65, 81, 92, and 93?

[robalan]

But of course you may, Xion.

I stole tile 67, and realized that it's been far too long since I've touched pixels.  *chastises self for not practicing more*  Now, everyone do better than me!

[Sohashu]

I am crap.  Excuse that horrible attempt. 

[Helm]

tiles 39/47 are extremely competent.

[Niss]

Adarias your tiles are absolutely awesome!
I had to compare the pics(and the changes from every person) though to find out who did it. Couldn't you people also post your submissions seperately from the collab? (or maybe I'm just dumb)

[Opacus]

Could I have 38, 45, 46?

[ndchristie]

And you all thought you could have a grid collab without someone doing a tetris block....



didnt put as much time into this one, probably should have, i can edit if it doesnt fit in with the rest

just wondering, how do we deal with the conflict when two people reserve adjacent spaces, and dont know what the other artist is doing in that space?

[Rerg1]

89 90 102 and 103 please

[Perciv@l]

just wondering, how do we deal with the conflict when two people reserve adjacent spaces, and dont know what the other artist is doing in that space?

Yeah, I thought that too and you really messed with my tiles
But don't worry, I can handle it. 

@Rerg1 - sorry but you can only reserve blocks of the same color.

[mrmean]

@mrmean: that's still not a legal group; those tiles are not the same color.  If you finish 17 and 15 has not yet been chosen, you can take that then.

hehe... sorry about that, i was really tired when i did that post
I have finished 15 and 17

[Xion]

Holy crap, Adarias, those rock.

[ndchristie]

Holy crap, Adarias, those rock.

I consider that high praise coming from somone who just blew my tiles out of the water ^^
also thanks helm and the rest for the compliments.

[.TakaM]

did #64, also made a few changes to other tiles >_>

[neverest]

78 & 90 please x

[.TakaM]

well, really I wasnt sure if Sohashu intended them to be included in the final version, not because theyre terrible (although they couldve been better) but mainly because he said "excuse this horrible attempt"

[Dascu]

[neverest]

[ndchristie]

well, really I wasnt sure if Sohashu intended them to be included in the final version, not because theyre terrible (although they couldve been better) but mainly because he said "excuse this horrible attempt"

And the reason you altered Xion Night's work....?

@ Dascu & Neverest: cool stuff, i like the little monster with the vines and the rafting gnome.

[robalan]

Actually, Sohashu's tiles were numbers 2 and 5.  The one .TakaM edited was mine :-P  And I really don't mind; that tile was the first pixeling I've done in about a year and it really sucked.  Thanks for fixing it for me.

Nice tiles, everyone.  I'll go update the first post version now.
