Use this palette! Make 16x16 icons. Likeso

Any person is free to make any number of tiles they feel like that can be completely unrelated to my tiles or they can continue some of my tiles. Anything from 1 tile to 16 of them. They post them here. Tiles will pile up for a few days (I'd say 'whatever we do just today!!' but I think that's pretty unrealistic. Anyway we'll know when we have enough) making little 'exquisite corpses' with each other. Try not to make too many tiles that continue your own tiles cuz where's the fun in that? Keep in mind you don't have to follow anyone else's tile if you don't feel like it, you can just make your own stand-alone tiles.

At the end of a set time we gather up the tiles we have and we can then do two wonderful activities. One of them is to assemble the connected tiles in obvious (and less obvious!) ways. At this stage we are free to alter the tiles of another person slightly (background colors etc) so they fit, but not super-too much, where's the fun in that. After - or sideways - to playing exquisite corpse with each other, we can see if we can make bigger pictures with the tiles we have acting as meta-tiles. The possibilities are endless in this! After a week is done, we collect and make a banner and feature as usual, listing the names of the participants and giving out cookies for happiness!

This ends on 16/8! Get to it

Hey guys, just woke up.

Did you watch the olympics innaguration? they used a kind of similar concept, with all the people dancing to make up a sort of screen.The dedication and teamwork of orriental people always makes them stand out.

I'll post some tiles soon.

EDIT: to the guy who wanted to animate, you could probably make a 8 or 16 frame animation, and then output each frame here, if you wanted to

I fixed these up a bit, now they almost look decent (by my -very low- standards).

From left to right: A knife, A hand doing the "horns" sign, a mini fadatar of a priest, an eye, an 8ball, Grim Fandango, A house on a hill, a nose, corpsepaint, a cleft.

Working at such a small size is challenging and fun!

Here's my first eight!

YinYang
Woman in fetal position
Sun and Earth (or possibly Moon)
Woman sitting on the ground
Crescent moon over a lake in the wilderness

Hold on. Are we allowed to do that? Because I'd gladly make more as well.

Also, there seem to be a couple of tiny cutoff issues. Both Fatalis67's first picture (the brick wall) and Emtech's last one (the cleft) are only 15x16's. Don't bother asking how I noticed this.

its nothing compared to you guys, but it did give me a chance to work on basic primitives

Real quality stuff, dudes. Start assembling bigger pieces from the tiles perhaps? You are

:free to crop out, or alter the colors of the 'background' of each tile
:free to flip, rotate or mirror any tile as you like
:optionally, free to position tiles not just on 16x16 grids but with any kind of offset that suits the art you're going to make. Be create, make exquisite corpses!

Here's a fun test made with all (or at least I tried to fit them all) of the tiles you guys made. Of course the subject had to be Helm, since he's the one who started this activity

I was astonished by the sheer amount of unique tiles; there were over 400 of them! That's over 100,000 pixels! Great job guys!

Sorry for the bad quality of this mosaic picture, the program I used wasn't registered so it allowed me to export only jpg

But I will update it if I find a way to make it better!

Helm · **Reply #60 on:** August 25, 2008, 11:50:40 pm

wha... what!? That's amazing! Is there a program that does this, you feed it the tile data and it churns out mosaics?

ter-o · **Reply #61 on:** August 25, 2008, 11:52:47 pm

Yup

The one I used is called Mazaika. It was a helluva job to crop each tile to a unique file, tho

PS. and I didn't have any hi-res picture of you, the quality could've been better with better source image

Ryona · **Reply #62 on:** August 26, 2008, 02:12:58 am

Whoooaah! That is AMAZING!

I am so totally impressed! Mannaged to find my tiles too!

It's a keeper! *saves*

Conzeit · **Reply #63 on:** August 26, 2008, 03:12:23 am

wow

the effect is quite nice, the tiled look and the golden pallete go really well together.Gives out a delicious candy like look...Going in and seeing how all the little pixels have a mind of their own is awesome. We should do some more of these =0

The program to me seems to pick a few tiles most fitting for each color and use the same over and over...doesnt seem too concerned with variation. if we're using this program I think it'd be good to divide the big picture in different sections, then assign a set of tiles for each section...that way we assure all the tiles get displayed.

Helm · **Reply #64 on:** August 26, 2008, 03:32:21 am

Mind uploading your tile file system for other people, tero?

I second this request. I downloaded Mazaika immediately after I saw this.
Actually, I was wondering if anyone would do this sort of thing. I would've liked to, but I just didn't know where to find a good photomosaic compiler.

Rosse · **Reply #66 on:** August 26, 2008, 06:23:46 am

I haven't tried this tool but it's in my bookmarks since ages, so maybe it's useful for somebody who doesn't like to download a tool for this task.

Well, in a picture that big you have over 10,000 tiles. That said, it means that every unique tile is used 26 times, if they are evenly divided. But of course they are not. But still at least there's a possibility that all of them are there, some more than 26 times, some less. To be sure, everyone should try to find all their tiles at least once and then report back to us if they didn't find all of them.

At least I found all my tiles.
