HEXQUISITE CORPSE COLLAB II
(http://pixelation.org/upload/hexquisite2/hex2_final.gif)
(http://pixelation.org/upload/hexquisite2/hex2_final_m.gif)
The Rules:
- Only green tiles can be claimed. Always write the number as the first thing in your post. First come, first served. You can only claim one tile at a point.
- A tile being green does not mean it has not already been claimed. Please always check the posts of the people before you.
- Red tiles have been claimed and are being worked one (hopefully). Still, always check if stuff is claimed and the image is just not updated yet (I might be busy)
- After claiming a tile it has to be done within 72 hours of the claim post. Failure to do so leads to freeing of said tile. Complaining won't get it back. Tough cookie.
- You can not claim a tile which is adjacent to one you made earlier.
- Finished tiles are PMed to me, ptoing (http://pixelation.org/index.php?action=pm;sa=send;u=79), NOT posted!
- When you pm'ed me your finished tile, update your initial post with a DONE!, for the record
- DO NOT post your tile anywhere else for CC or after it is done (like on PJ for example). The point is that no one sees it until all tiles are done.
- Of course the whole point is to use the little bits of what you see from the finished adjacent tiles as a starting point for your tile.
- There is no set perspective. As long as you line your work up with the adjacent tiles all is well. Go wild.
- Only use the 16 colours in the palette provided in the top left (the first 16 indexes in the palette). Make sure you do not use other colours. This happened in the iso collab and it was annoying to run after people
- I then will put a masked version of the tile into the field (as shown in the image below).
- (http://pixelation.org/upload/hexquisite/hexquisite_how.png)
- Try to make your tiles so that all the edges have something interesting to work with there, and not just a single colour
- (http://pixelation.org/upload/hexquisite2/pointersxx.png)
- Please try and give your best, don't enter sloppy, halfassed work.
- FUN!

2 please. DONE
So there is no theme for this? Draw whatever you like?
-
Yes, Freeform like the last one.
-
i want 30
edit: done
-
Btw, the palette is nice, but I'm missing the lack of a nice purple or even dark blue. The darkest blue is pretty light, and I personally can't seem to find a nice darker color to transition into.
Where is it from?
-
My ass. Also the dark blue can be transitioned into the green after it and then nicely ito the darkest grey from there. Experiment around :)
-
10.
Also, severed hand :y:
Done
-
12 DONE :y:

I'll take 60.

*pops back to life*
Is 31 still free?
I'll take that one <3
Done. Sorry for the delay!
-
Glad I'm around for this one, I'd like to do 22.
Also I was wondering if we could update our tile (but say, leave the borders the same) after the 72hr period, if we notice a glaring flaw or something.
edit: Done.
-
Yes, if the borders do not change I see no problem with that, if there is something you really wanna fix up.
-
29.
Hello, I exist. Done
Also these seasonal emoticons are adorable. 8)

73 please :B
edit ptoing// tile not claimable atm
Ha, sorry about that :s
No.39 please.

Mostly because I really want to have a tile next to Arachne's!
-
NVM
-
well then it's a wasted post, mr. ptoing :)
-
Id love to claim one for my lunch break, but it seems I better start making some pumpkin or so...

DONE.
-
Oooh.. *puts hand into a big hat, and withdraws a tattered piece of folded paper*
54.. 54? do I win something? What do I get for 54?... whatever it is, I want it...
-Z-
-
Heya Zoggs. You can not claim a tile which is not marked green (and make sure to check if no one has claimed it and I have not updated the picture).
Before 54 becomes claimable first Morganne has to finish hers.
-
I'll take 24 ::)
-
69 please!
im a little confused though... i only see one GREEN green one... everything else is like blueish green.. does that mean theyve been taken also? im not trying to be an ass... just genuinely a bit confused lol. if this is true then just ignore my post then :X
DONE!
-
56 please!
im a little confused though... i only see one GREEN green one... everything else is like blueish green.. does that mean theyve been taken also? im not trying to be an ass... just genuinely a bit confused lol. if this is true then just ignore my post then :X
Yeah the pure green ones are the only ones available.
All variations of blue are not available yet.
For example, right now you can only choose 69 (not that bad of a number, might I add) because Peeter has already taken 24, the other green tile.
-

aha!, thank you. ive done that. :D
-
Only the ones with names on have been taken. The blue ones will come eventually available.
-
Due to the hectic nature of having to stay home from school a week for swine flu, I have to free mine up
God damn I've got a lot of work to do... If you decide to hold another Ptoing, feel free to deny access to a tile next time, I've dropped out twice... Fucking kids at school giving me their shit
EEEUUUGHHH
-
grr.. everyone spells my name wrong haha its fortunato, no d
-
fixed :-[
-
20 please!
Done! That was close :P
-
I should've read the whole thread first :blind:
Edit: Blah, changed tile and contents, much happier anyways :P
-
As I told you in the PM, this is a no go. Once Morganne is done, whoever claims the tile first gets it.
-
15 please!
Done :y:
-

D'oh silly me. Didn't realize that because there were no 'greens' showing at the time I guess.
Ok.. so I'll test the waters on 17 then instead.

Edit:
Done and sent.

#28, please
Done
-
Ah.. you beat me to it Rosse hehe.
Oh well.. I'll take a poke at the middle area. #85 please.

Edit:

I'll take #44, if that is still available (it feels easy to get ninja'd.)
NINJA: DONE
-
Hmmmm I'll go for 6!
DONE!!
-
87 - Done
Is there a limit on how many tiles we can do?
-
#51 please!
timelimit reached
-
89 DONE :y: :y: :y:
:lala:
-
@setz: nah there is not really a limit. In the last one ilkke had 7, tomic had 5, many had 2 or 3. I did not put down a rule to set a limit, so there wont be one in this. There might be one in future hex collabs.
-
Might I please have number 8? :)
DONE DONE DONE
-
fixed :-[
thank you very much, although it doesnt really matter much now i guess! haha
-
Can i have number 3?
:D
Done
-
Going on a limb and asking for number 59. :crazy:
DONE.
-
74!
I am enjoying this.
Done.
-
OH DEARY ME
I'm surprised this is up again so fast.
I'll try for #13 if you will. :y:
*Is excited*
-
54
please.
She's done.
-
Whenever Ive seen this done elsewhere, they'd keep the tiles hidden untill it was surrounded by completed tiles, so the entire image could be slowly revealed as it was completed. Probably not as fun a possibility with this one, but I figured I'd suggest it anyhow, because Im way too eager to see it all <3
-
There been talks along this line when the first one was started. It's more exciting to wait until the very end :D
-
Actually, I agree with Morganne; it provides more of an incentive for members to finish/take up tiles - in order to see the previous tile someone will need to do the next one (or three). This would mean people have less reason to sit on a tile for a few days.
-
I'll take that Number 38 if you don't mind
-Z-
----------------
Edit:
Done and submitted
-
I don't think sitting on a tile for a day or two should be that big a deal, I finished a bulk of both of mine in one day but decided to wait until the next day anyways, to catch flaws and touch it up with a fresh eye. The progressive revelation sounds interesting, but either way, the wait to see everything is what makes it really interesting, I think.
anyway ptoing, thanks for the replies. I'd like to do some more tiles but I just don't think I'll have the time this week so I'm looking forward to seeing what you guys come up with!
-
I don't think that whether tiles will be revealed when they have no free adjacent tiles will speed things up or motivate people to work faster.
Anyway, I am having an idea for a hexquisite corpse which will very much warrant partial revelation every now and then, but that will be something for the (hopefully near) future.
-
What do the purple tiles mean? ??? I couldnt' find anything explaining that. Bahh, forget that :yell:
-
Purple tiles signify that they are within (or close to) their last 24 hours. In some cases I will be flexible here, which will be handled via PM.
Therefore these tiles may become open again (if the artist who nabbed it doesn't finish within a reasonable time period.)
-Z-
-
Just letting everyone know I'm working on my tile. I got started kind of late, so I'll be cutting it close to my deadline :blind:
-
There's a few tiles up I'm dying' to see revealed already.
No, I strongly disagree revealing them as we go is good. Doing that destroys the impact of the final revealing moment of truth. Morganne, just wait for it, wait for it . . .
-
24 doneeeeee :y: :blind:
-
24 is fine :)
-
64 please ? :)
edit ptoing: Read the rules.
-
88 please :)
Done
-
can i have 86 ?
-
Can I take 42?
Never done anything like this and it'll make a nice change from all the sprite/tiling game work I been doing for the past few years. I was gonna join in a couple days ago but I got a rather superb PS3 video game and didn't want to commit to this til I got through the story mode on that.
I'm not sure I fully get how to do this but I'll give it a go. I'll do one and you just tell me if it's wrong or just too crappy to have in there.
edit: Done, I think. Back to Uncharted 2.
-
39, please.
Done
-
Damn 86 got taken! I'll just do 39... Oh wait!
I really wanted them
88 it is then
taken by Reo
-
18! C'mere boy you're all MINE ; o
EDIT: aw...shucks had little time and then I went and made a sucky tile...18...I am sad to let you go but I am not good enough for you, buh-bye!
-
Awww, didn't see that. I'd started and everything (1 hour :crazy:) :'(
It's just going to have to be... 90!
-
4 please?
And done!
-
32 pretty please!
Aaaand DONE!
-
57, please
done
-
68 - done
I've had some time freed up
-
badabing!
here are my tiles:
(http://www.piexeln.de/pics/tomic-hex2avoid.gif)
wait.. did i get something wrong? and what are the purple hexagons for?
(http://www.pixeljoint.com/pixels/images/smile/clown.gif)
-
Hahaha, the purple hexagons are just to show which tiles are in the last 24 hours of the timelimit or over it already (but in leeway period)
Not claiming anything, tomic?
-
yepp, got it. i've followed the collab from the very beginning, the questions was more though as allusion to some stupid question.. danke trotzdem =)
i'd take #24 but am not sure if ui laid claim on it already.
-
ah i forgot to update that field, 24 is ui's
-
can i have 65?
DONE
-
sure
-
I envy the skill of those of you who managed to do these so well and especially those doing more than one. Can tell even by just the visible borders there's some quality stuff in there. I really struggled with mine. Hardest thing I've ever had to do pixelwise. Looking forward to seeing the fully complete and revealed piece.
-
43 please!
Done
-
Might I obtain number 47?
edit: And done!
-
badabing!

You're fired!

Do the updated rules imply that one should avoid Tomic? :lol: - this seems like good advice :p (btw, Tomic submit to PJ!)
Done
-
66
done
-
I'd like to give 36 a shot please :)
Done
-
I'm quite proud of the tile I've done, and upon completion and revealing of the finished collab, I'll finally have an avatar.
I'd try and pick up another but I'm headed out to Florida in 5 hours, and won't be back for a week.
Can't wait to see how far it'll have gone by then. Best of luck to all of you, I'm sure it's gonna be great.
And Tomec, wtf is up with that post. You showed tiles AND put them in the "Things to Avoid" template? I'm just hoping you did that to prove a point to avoid posting your tiles in the thread.
STILL, I like the work you did on those two, not bad.
-
He did them as a joke, I imagine.
-
77 still up for the taking? In that case, I'll take it.
-
Sweet - thanks for notifying me, mathias! Currently house hunting all weekend so hoping you'll slow down and leave me one for Tuesday morning! :)
-
And Tomec, wtf is up with that post. You showed tiles AND put them in the "Things to Avoid" template? I'm just hoping you did that to prove a point to avoid posting your tiles in the thread.
you didn't get it.
i didn't claim any tile in this collab, thus cannot reveal any. these are just for fun tiles, based on the old "things to avoid" box (http://www.piexeln.de/pics/tomic-hex2avoid_compared.gif).
secondly, i had 5 tiles in the last one, which implies that i know the rules. also, i can read. being funny is soo difficult if the audience is slow on the uptake =)
*waiting for some some more green tiles for the weekend btw.
-
Jokes are confusing ???
-
63! Doesn't look like it has been claimed.
-
where is Ilkke, Mirre, Angryle, Ergg and a lot of other ppl who participed on the lastone!??? :XXX i want all those guys in!!! :DDDD and moar ppl in!!!! :noob: :noob: :noob:
-
:D
-
77 still up for the taking? In that case, I'll take it.
77, please. I'll try to do better. :'(
srsly, do you read other's posts?
-
hi! i'm really sorry but i won't be able to cover 86. :( therefore, you can still have it.
i might take another one if i have a reasonable amount of time, and if i still can.
i've edited the previous post.
great stuff, tomic! and you did it just for kicks. kudos, man!
-
Let me fail at 86 then.
-
14 then, please. DONE! ;D
-
46 bitte!
DONE! before i get purplefied ;D
-
Tile 5 if I may. - DONE
edit: it seems theres an issue with tile 6, there are some transparant specks around the left border, just wondering what color those are supposed to be
-
40! Done! ;D
-
Setz, tile 6 looks fine to me. There is some of the dark orange on the side which is close to the red used for the claimed tiles. You mean that?
-
(http://sj.arc-nova.org/b/throwaway.png)
i thought it might've been some sort of weird issue with wine/pmotion but its appearing that way in browsers too
-
Fixed! Argyle was using a bunch of the colours which should not be used!
-
i'll take 51
-
I can see some transparency problems with tile 89
-
That's actually pixeled and intentional :P
-
I have my eye on 81
~D O N E !~
(whew...)
-
Due to a bunch of really shitty things happening, I have to give up. Tile 77 is free again.
-
Its all starting to fall into place.
I feel sorry for the person who gets 75.
I wonder how that's going to work out.
-
Hmm not sure why you'ld feel sorry for them... doesn't look too bad. In fact I think I may have a go at it myself.
#75 please
-Z-
--------------
Edit:
Done and submitted
-
dunn
-
#83 is moine
-
52, if I may.
d^_^ b
also done.
-
Is this still not done yet?
Fine, 61 then.
And done
-
Fixed! Argyle was using a bunch of the colours which should not be used!
Blech, sorry about any problems my tile may have had with colors. I guess I must have snagged a color from the palette menu that was intended only for colorizing the board at some point, which may have spread like wildfire accidentally because I go eyedropper tool like mad when I'm drawing on a tablet.
-
I'll steal away 76 and see if I can survive it with a few clichés. :)
I was going to do fortyeight, but I can't work out what setz is doing with the base of his tile on the side - or more specifically, how to turn that into something different.
-
I'll take 18 then.
Done! That was fun. Maybe I'll snag another tile later.
Maybe.
-
58 please
Edit: done
-
The number 7 please.
DONE!
-
55!
-
How about a "no f*ing horizons" rule? :D
-
hahahahahah....I totally get where you're coming from there ilkke :p
I love how my corner is FINALLY getting to grow out and even connect with the others :o it looks like this could be done pretty soon =O
-
;D
-
Leave some of that action for me, guys! Times is rough.
-
33 is hereby claimed for the Conceit party >:( unless I'm missing somebody else claiming it :blind: (already have something for it)
and after much deliberation the final veredict seems to be that it is
DONE!
-
That's actually pixeled and intentional :P
Woah woah woah- we can have transparency? Did I overlook that in the rules? *reads rules* I see nothing that says we can or can't. Clarification?
If so, what about alpha channels? Too complicated? :P
-
That's actually pixeled and intentional :P

I actually think, by intentional, he means that he did the checker pattern by hand, just for effect.
but real transparency would be pretty nice for a future cllaboration.
-
Ah, humbug. I have to return 76, apparently my pixel time needs to be spent house hunting. :(
Next time I'll join in earlier so as to avoid so many side pieces - this is harder than I thought! Colours are interesting enough, but when you have people all around you using it in different ways, some with dithering, some with barely any aliasing.. it's weird! Really, really weird.
-
76, maestro
DONE
Yes, this thing can get really difficult, if you're putting forth effort to mesh with your surroundings and create something worthwhile that is. Mediocre work is always easy, on the other hand.
That sucks Scribblette, hope you find something soon. I'll pick up where you left off.
-
How can there possibly be transparency in a tiled collab?
What the hell are you talking about?
-
There could be transparency, but it does not make much sense, so, no.
-
hey hey to clarify what i did...... did that "transparence effect" intentional... the tile is not transparent itself... just in the outside the boders (cuz is needed), but that's just because the collab need transparent borders to mix with the others Hexagon aswell. I just found that "creative" way to use the palette, not to try then transparent inside the borders.
But its nice seen ppl talking or asking about if is transparence... :lol:... that mean the transparent effect or the intention just works perfect as i spected. :lol:
sorry for the troubles and problems caused... :'(
-
I'm still confused as to what you guys are talking about.
By the way I AM still working on my tile, nearly finished. I realize I am running a bit late.
-
Crazy ol' UI pixeled a white and gray checkerboard pattern into his tile 89 - A pattern ubiquitous with transparency, since almost every layered gfx program uses it to denote transparency, just like hot pink in most old indexed games' graphics.
-
DONE!
-
I claim 78!
-
84, if you please!~
-
34 34 done :y: :y: :y:
-
I'd like to issue some guesses of the content of some tiles, when it's all revealed and I'm completely wrong it'll be even more amusing. Don't agree or disagree if the tile is yours. . .
1 - female YUS bird
2 - celestial planets in outer space
3 - space combat scene
4 - uhmmm . . . ducks in a pond
5 - buxom blonde in a blue hat
6 - ocean scene flying blue caterpillar in air
7 - [NOT SUBMITTED]
8 - alien lair with the greek god poseidon
9 - not an arachnid . . . but some other arachne insect monster beast
10 - nuclear reactor
11 - ehmmm, grassy
12 - waterworld
13 - ninja turtles
14 - radioactive gloves holding drugs
15 - perspective path tranguil mountin scene
16 - the tree of life
17 - a hidout lair complete with flower gardens
18 - [NOT SUBMITTED]
19 - [NOT SUBMITTED]
20 - subterranean cave w/ phosphorescent pool
21 - dragon perch under a cliff
22 - paratrooper touching down on a precipice
23 - [NOT SUBMITTED]
24 - cabin interior
25 - waterfall
26 - an expression of love for cyan
27 - sahara animals being abducted
28 - end of the earth
29 - snake on cover of Life Force, molded
30 - space platform
31 - spacey structure w/ platforms in bg
-
Hah I like that idea, guessing would be fun! Is that alright with you if we post some, Ptoing? ???
-
You can guess but please don't reveal the content of your tiles, people!
-
Looks like it's coming together.
(Is there any reason my name is gray?)
-
#56, please
Done
-
(Is there any reason my name is gray?)
(I was probably a bit tired when I updated it and overlooked it. Fixed)
-
48! Again!Done!
my last tile. :)
-
23 for me : DONE
-
Aw, I was hoping Mush's tile was some kind of hidden bonus tile :P Maybe Hex-Cor III could have bonus tiles; I'm not sure what rewards you could give for finding a bonus tile though - the only thing I can think of is +1s. :-\
Ergg - ??? 23 isn't even available though
-
Heh Bonus tiles... hehe I like the sound of that :) Though I'm not sure what the bonus would yield.
Perhaps extra colours? You could keep the main palette with only 16 colours in it and different tiles have 0-4 extra colours (different combinations from a second set of 16 giving a full image total of 32 but only 16-20 per tile) available - which can only be used within the confines of the non-masked area (i.e. not the shown border). The whole image could therefore have a predetermined (by ptoing) colour bias thanks to the added bonus colours.
The board is beginning to fill out nicely.. can hardly wait to see the final unveiled monstrosity in all its glory.
-Z-
-
I would like to give 41 a shot
I am now done giving tile 41 a shot
-
I claim 80!
DONE!
PS: hello all! ;)
-

The whole image could therefore have a predetermined (by ptoing) colour bias thanks to the added bonus colours.
guys, seriously. nobody would get this. judging from some earlier post (and a recent one =) it seems that the rules as of now are already complicated enough for some people. and you wanna start playing around with the palette? who's gonna manage this? what's next, rotating bonus tiles with frames equal to the tile number?* i don't see this.
:
anyways, i'm itching to do another tile, but don't really see a time window for it atm =/ could you please slow down pixeling a bit? thanks*
see bottom
p.s. passages meant as jokes are marked "*". just in case.
-
If you get a bonus tile Tomic will personally fly to your home town and perform his infamous comedy routine for you filled with jokes that no-one gets* :P
I'm also in the same boat, I don't think I'll have the time to do another one; it was hard enough finding the time to work on my last tile :(
I really look forward to seeing what people do with tiles 35, 70 or 82 (and any other future landlocked tiles)
-
Yes, it is hard to find the time for this typiclly, that's why I stay up until 4am doing it. Sleep? That's for losers!* (notice the handy tomic asterisk)
Tomic I agree; further complications for the rules would probably just wreak chaos. ptoing's workload would increase 4x checking rule adherance of each tile methodically, notifiying artists of their inevitable technical mistakes, etc. Let's not adulterate ptoing's fine collab concept with our feature creep, though it is fun to innovate new ideas for it, fact remains it's probably not a good ideer.
Hey, Peach. Did you just now find this?
--Setz and 9_6, thanks for the crazy multi-colored metal panels, they set the tone for my #76. I don't normally use color like that, it was nice.
-
Hey, Peach. Did you just now find this?
exactly! ;D
-
Mathias: Actually, They're not metal: they're a ceramic scale bricks.*
And Tomic, just for you, I'll make this my last tile. I feel like I've overdid it abit anyways. :blind:
Oh and a question, what exactly is a corpse collab?

Oh and a question, what exactly is a corpse collab?
uh huh hmmm . . .
Good question. An "Exquisite Corpse (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exquisite_corpse)" production is just a collab between multiple people who don't get to see the "overall picture" until the end. Give it a quick read, it's interesting.
-
okay.. i hope, i won't regret this, but
#70 please
DONE! daylight saving ftw
-
#45, please? ;)
-
Back from vacation. Good progress everybody!
-
I would like to claim #35
I was kicking myself for not partaking in the first hexcollab. :P
-
60 please.
Döne!
-
some things have come up and i will not be able to complete my tile! i'm sorry for the inconvenience, but there's some other important things i need to put my attention towards.
sorry.
-
82 Done :-*
-
82
yey!
-
82
yey!
Arrr...!
-
Sorry for claiming that tile back then, had some problems irl and i couldn't get to finish the tile i was doing. is there any possibility that i could take Dex's Tile(84) since he's not going to finish it?
-
Just claim it :P
-

Nobody's sore about what you did with your tile....I claimed one and finsihed, then claimed another and lost it for similar reasons...then claimed another and finished it.
Things will be ok just as long as you're determined to do your tile and you're not just being lazy and losing tiles over and over
-
Ptoing, you warned me of using an illegal color in my tile.
It turned out that a BUNCH of tiles use the same color.
Someone must have used it in error, and then everyone used it for tiling's sake without noticing.
Have no idea how to fix it now. Probably the best way would be to fix tiles in the order they were created.
-
Took the current hex2 collab version in original post, non-contiguous paintbucketed each palette swatch in top left to cover all "legal" pixels with black, therefore proving their innocence. Only the shameful guilty pixels were left. I'm far too cool to use incorrect colors!*
>>View Blinking Guilty Pixels (http://img237.imageshack.us/img237/9242/watchthehex2warriorsbli.gif)<< 15, 33, 65, 81, 82, 83 and 84 are affected.
Don't know which other tiles may have more guilty pixels masked off; I can't see them to find them. It's noteworthy that all guilty pixels I found use colors used for the unclaimable tiles. Considering we all use different software and work differently it's not surprising. Stricter QC may be necessary.
(while we're on the subject, I just found 3 bad pixels in the hex1 collab, hehe. only 3 though)
-
Nr. 64 DONE!!!
-
DUNN!
-
Thanks Mathias. I just fixed this and the old one as well \o/
I fixed all the ones but ilkke's in this one because, ilkke, yours is severe. Please fix it and resubmit your tile to me.
I will do a more hardcore QC from now on >:O

Why'd you 'fix' it with dark grey instead with a more similar green?
lol: I cannot claim a tile since both are adjacent to my own tiles. Free up moar! :D
-
I would like number 62 please, ptoing.
-
lol: I cannot claim a tile since both are adjacent to my own tiles. Free up moar! :D
haha, seems like the universe wants to penalize you for something ;D
-
Anytime, ptoing.
Will check my last tile out tomorrow night, late. Hopin' for a landlocked one, max challenge. Anticipatingly dreading.
-
edit: been claimed, dangit
I'd take my old one back if I could, but seems Metaru wants it o.o
-

since im fairly new to pixelling i started working on 64 last night and then in school i was going to claim it but Macro got to it before me (my school blocks this for some reason)
i feel your pain of "dangit, someone beat me"
-
Part of the anticipation is wondering how other people interpreted your tile. SO EXCITED! :lol:
-

Unfortunately my tile 64 doesn't get that chance :[ oh wellurz. I just want to see what other tiles havent been claimed that I can take

For not fixing my tile, apparently :crazy:
-
when RGD is done his tile 48, if it still available I will take tile 23
-
You can not claim in advance.
-
okies, but his is purple and I cant get on the website in school to claim it (site is blocked.) so i was leaving my claim, but its ok if its early. but uh. do i have to waste a post re-requesting it? (its ok if i do, but I am just wondering whether you want me to.
-
Once RGD has done his tile or his tile gets freed and any tile gets green again anyone (including you) can claim that tile. Whoever claims it first after I freed it (posted new image with green tile) gets it. (go redundancy)
-
screw school rules. im going to try to use Teamviewer portable to use my home laptop to do this if i have to. stupid filters. i will not let this one slip thru my fingers while i watch it like #64 did!

=O the passion! dont you just love this collab? Reality TV should take a hint from the kind of tension this creates with no competitivity at all =D
-
But in my opinion, to participate in this collab is an honor, so I am definitely going to be competitive
-

Ptoing, when will you post the image file with the new picture of the grid with updated tiles on it instead of the current grid picture that is currently displayed on the first page of this thread that we are participating in?
-
I myself, that goes by mathias on this internet website served from a computer, might begin to suspect that the user whose moniker is commonly written as ptoing on said website domain may in a sense be gradually tiring of the probable tedium that is constantly updating the second collaboration event utilizing this concept of interlocking 6-sided polygons. Batlorder, what do you think?
-
ilkke, you fool! I can't update stuff when I am not awake, and neither can I update stuff if I have no new tiles (also I just updated and sent some PMs).
YOU FOOL!
-
im dying here waiting for RGD's to be updated, at least it wasnt updated while i was in school though
-
45! !yus!
-
Why was it freed?
-
Because mirre PM'ed me that she has tried and did not get to anything nice and she has not time now.
-
Because mirre PM'ed me that she has tried and did not get to anything nice and she has not time now.
ah. okies :D is RGD going to get his done in time?
-
He has sent me a wip some time ago and I wrote him a PM reminding him to get his ass in gear.
-
67!
-
23 here. done.
-
damn it! i was just getting on the laptop to check if 23 was updated! shit...

Tomic, you're blunt, haha. Peete, you can make a mousepad out of something laying around easily enough.

-
Well, Robbie, looks like you finally succeeded. :D

-
One 35, please!
-
Hehe, nice guesses.

Couldn't get a nice enough tile in time. (I am still a beginner and i just aimed too high)
-
it's weird when you want a tile you get it...and then you dont seem to be able to do anything worthwhile with it :mean: you go from fighting over it to givin up....makes you take yourself a wee bit less seriously :blind:

Lol. It doesn't take too long... once I actually start :P
-
18 bitte!
lets see how long i can delay the whole thing *
-
daaammm tomic! :( you stole the one i was about the claim! :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'(
-
This is pretty exciting, can't wait to see it finished!
-
The excitement is killing me :'(
Kind of makes me wish I'd taken part in it.
-
If you're quick you can still get 62 once Dex finishes :)
-
Naw, I'd rather not hold up the entire collab with my suck-ness (word?)
I'd be working against my motive! ;D
-
oh shiz, i completely forgot!
i'll complete it tomorrow, i've already got a wip :X
-
Jeez.. the last few are taking longer to get done than the rest of the whole board took!
Come on guys, I'm sure I'm not the only one eager to see the curtain drop and the finished piece revealed...
-Z-
-
guys, i'm really sorry, but my file got corrupted and it is either repixel the image or just let one of you guys who's eager to do it have it
i couldn't save it, it got screwed up, and the whole image got ruined and i couldn't fix it by pressing undo or anything
i'm really sorry, it's not my fault ;_; i've never had this happen on a deadline before, i'm really upset... sorry everyone...
-
ptoing, give me a chance at redemption, open up tile 62 and I'll get it done tomorrow. I have all day. I noticed you switched tiles' availability when certain ones weren't getting done.
-
I see tile 62 is open.
Tile 62, please.
DONE!
-
purple pain, pu-ur-ur-ple pain..
my apologies everyone. delaying it wasn't intended. i'm on it.
D O N E !
-
Argh come on guys, burn rubber!
I come back and this thing is still not done.
-
this one looks like it's going to be totally amazing.
-
this is really frustrating, the rest of it was done in a matter of days
-
Aw, be patient kids. I've got a feeling it will be worth the wait.
-
It appears to be progressing slow in the end because there's only a couple of tiles being drawn simultaneously.
-
all eyes on mathias now.
good luck - tricky region around 62/77 it seems.
edit:
just checked the initial hexquisite corpse.. took 21 days until mirre finished the final tile,
the current one is in its 28th day already!
w e a r e l a t e !
-
w e a r e l a t e !
ask ppl who was on vacation and ptoing for release the collab when nobody spect it!!!!!!!!.... juajsujuajsuajusajua :lala: :lala: :lala:
im looking forward the next collab :lol:
(just in case... im joking).../me have his eyes on the number 77
-
Dammit, it's killing me, I must know what happens between Lackey's (29) space fisherman and the space fish. :yell: And that giant nearby space head - what is its purpose :o?
@ui, I have every right to believe the next WotP activity will be Secret Santa :D if we ever finish this one that is (asterisk)
Also, when are old snakemoticons coming back? Halloween is slightly over. And as much as I love these emotes they are actually very unexpressive and kind of hard to read.
-
ptoing has gone silent all of a sudden, what is he planning... :o
-
What? I am planning nothing. I am waiting for Mathias' tile.
-
Clandestine activity discovered! ABORT ABORT
-
Woot an update... and a tile available... gimme that last one!!
77 please!
Let's get this thing wrapped up and revealed as quickly as possible.. (heh hopefully even while ptoing is still awake)
-----
EDIT:
Done :)
-
Let's get this thing wrapped up and revealed as quickly as possible.. (heh hopefully even while ptoing is still awake)
it's 7:30 pm in europe.. you've got about 4 hours! good luck!
hey funny coincidence: just noticed that the current field's filename is hex2_77.gif
-
hey funny coincidence: just noticed that the current field's filename is hex2_77.gif
Or is it :o
-
WOW. Simply breathtaking. So many things there completely beyond whatever I had imagined they would be. Congrats everyone involved on a fantastic collab!
My first tile, I hated that palette but began to enjoy the challenge of it. Some of the tiles here use the given palette so effectively and beautifully I am in awe.
Got to say though, I love Arachne's little surfing elephant in his shiny wetsuit and the grotesque alien thing, Vierbit's cottages and pirate ship, Lackey's spaceship, Carnivac's beast, Tomic's stag, Mush's dogfight, Setz's head and skulls... urghh.. so many lovely details everywhere....
-Z-
-
This thing is freaking awesome.
What a large concentration of skulls in the centre :o
Specially loving Vierbit's, Big Brother's and Ilkke's. But this is just quality stuff overall.
-
Congratulations to all involved.
-
Breathtaking.
This is awesome. Congrats to everyone involved. ;D
-
Gorgeous. I'm going to try and print this and put it on my wall :3
hah, 49-51 fit together so well, it'd adorable! :angel:
-
Great stuff all round. Just loads of cool things to look at there. I like seeing how people made such good use of those colors that I struggled with. Finding that interesting and educational. I'm glad I had a go. I think I'll be up for another one whenever that may be.
Love the Aku tile. Been rewatching Samurai Jack recently and still love that show.
-
Wow ;D :lol:
Even better than last time!
everything fits together so nicely, I love how it's all been interpreted.
-
THIS IS THE BEST DAY OF MY LIFE (well, it's probably in the top 8000 anyway) :crazy:
Well done to everyone involved! A great job, even though there are some very conspicuous tiles.
It looks like many people really gave it their all on this one :y:; but I'd have to say my favourites would be: Lackey's 29, Morganne's 31, Setz' 5, Vierbit's 9, Mathias' centre, Setzer's 87, Mathias' 76, Vierbit's 60, Arachne's 40, Vierbit's 67, iLKke's 78, Tomic's 46, iLKke's 19 and of course ui's microcorpse at 89.
Now go submit to PJ :P
-
WRUARGH SO MUCH SKILLFUL USE OF PALETTE AND SURROUNDING TILES @ ___ @
YOU ROCK GUYS
NOW BRING ON THE NEXT ONE I GOTTA MAKE A BETTER ONE K
-
I could probably look at this thing for the remainder of the year. Great stuff!
-
WOW. much better than last time!
-
Yus, this came out nice. Good stuff everyone, and good going me for being way more hardass this time!
I don't think there will be another one this year, tho, but early next year for sure. :)
-
This is the best collaborative pixel art piece I've ever seeeeeen
Glad to have been a part of it!~
Great work, everyone!
-
Holy geez! This looks amazing guys! I can't stop looking at it, its like I'm looking for waldo but everything looks so great I don't really care to find him. I wish I had of had time to contribute to this one.
-

Look closer. Waldo is ACTUALLY in there. somewhere near the center.
-
ha ha that's fantastic! :lol: I'm really surprised I didn't catch that.
-
Wow this is awesome! just pure awesomeness! And do I see a tiny hexquisite collab near the middle?
-
it's beautiful :'(
A side note, where did the palette come from? Something ptoing made up? It was challenging to work with, but fun. Looks like it was used to its full advantage ;D
-
Shocking - the improvement in overall quality compared to the first one.
The conceptual and technical effort put forth is insane. No one artist could ever complete something so random, yet so cohesive and flowing and diverse. The word gestalt certainly jumps to mind. What fun to inspect!
It's always educational to look at work that is superior to yours (a painfully common phenomenon for me), but especially so when you're now 'rubbing shoulders' with the authors of such work while using the same contraints; palette - how they make choices, how they use the palette is very revealing and a poignant lesson if you pay attention.
@Carnivac: Setz's 41's upper left region reminded me of Samurai Jack, hence the Aku - glad you like it! Hopefully most recognize him, it's one of the best cartoon series out there, IMO.
Setz, you really switched it up for this collab, I was agonizing over how to unite things until the Aku idea occurred to me. Your 41: At first I wanted to dock some points for going the abstract swirl route . . . but, it looks pretty cool actually.
Veirbit, your method of wielding the pixel consistently amazes, love the unsuspectedly mundane and dissonant yet awesome Swiss building with sidewalk . ilkke, that skull takes the cake. Big Bro, t he hand is very appropriately surreal, great choice. Conceit, your style is interestingly chaotic. For some reason Helm, I really appreciate your mini wheelbarrow, yus I do, all the details are pleasant, glad you made time for a tile. Lackey, what are you summoning? Jad, the upsidedown world is great. pgil, #43 - a reference to the first collab's bottom-most tile? The comments go on and on . .
-There are a few neglectful uses of space and a few tile transition "mistakes", but nothing major really.
-Love the way the hex grid obfuscates and denies that this was ever set up on any sort of grid at all. The seams must be undetectable to uninvolved viewers.
-
:y:
This is incredible in so many ways... perfect example of how the result is greater than the sum of it's parts. Huge compliment to everybody which was brave enough and took his time to contribute to this unique experience.
There are so many different approaches and styles - the restricted palette really is capable of making it look coherent. It's very interesting to see how small regions tells their own stories.
-
Congrats to everyone for pulling this off. We rule! Especially mr.Ptoing.
A couple of people have really surprised me with the quality of their tiles. I'll have to add them to my little book of big names :)
-
Conceit, your style is interestingly chaotic.

-There are a few neglectful uses of space and a few tile transition "mistakes", but nothing major really.
haha, dankeshen Mr.Math! indeed it is quite chaoitic, as is my process for making things.....I never know what form to give the wild ideas cursing trough my head, or just how much of it to try and harness in the picture, it seems the pixels are never enough :ouch:...ask Ptoing! XD
I was amazed at how off-place #33, my second tile seems when compared to the surrounding ones, I was trying to do a black hole effect like what Setz pulls off at 41, except I wanted an evil edifice like that of Goodbye Blue Sky ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_0v07InoFiU ) to be the one sucking everything in...it failed spectacularly O_O (how didnt I pick up that I was cutting off Ptoing's tentacle from #1??? )
The other tile, #21 since it isnt surrounded by as many things...I felt was rendered less beautifully but actually comes out far far more acceptably, it links everywhere exactly the way I would want it to! I love how Pgil linked to it, we made two little magnificent dust brothers erupt out of the earth :D besides the way my guy's spit becomes the sky couldnt have come off any better!, also #18 is a tile I gave up and it comes amazingly close to what I would have done, except it meshes with the Zog's style there far far more than anything I could've done =D kudos!.
I am loving how Vierbit used the browns! you just continue to stand out in any Collab you get into :crazy: you magnificent basterd! Ptoing's #1 tile reveal had me LMAO WTF and BBQ all at once :P as did Dex's little mud monsters at #8 AND Lackey's awesome little homage to the Zogs at #74
Another one that takes the cake is Big Brother and Lackey's #55,#54 HandDragon, Morgy's dragon at #31. Opacus'es crazy little skull...it looks like something I would've liked to do, painterly as St0ven would've put it ::)
I bet I'll found many other little things to pick apart and be amazed at the more I look at it :o does anybody feel like this second one came out a little bit more self conscious? I feel like the first one is more relaxed and has more empty spaces, while in this one everyone is trying to fit as many stuff in as possible ???
-
Congrats to everyone for pulling this off. We rule! Especially mr.Ptoing.
I second that.
Looking at my tile now, I'm thinking I could have done some things a little bit different (and a lot better)... I look forward to the next one

Yes. I assume the participants all saw the last one, and noted the things they felt could improve, namely density of detail. Hence the hex2 collab has more crammed into it. It's true that an established fact per design principles is that some "white space", or any area more sparse than surrounding areas, creates a resting place for the eye and is pleasant because of that -BUT- it's also true that there are no design rule constants, meaning that no one rule always applies.
In my opionion, this is an example of an exception to the white space "rule". Do you not find yourself wishing there was something more to see in such tiles as: 35, 53 and 59? (zero offense to the authors; just a subjective observation)
As I start to feel that I've taken in all the details, I do find myself wishing there was more to find in the stingier tiles. Compact detail is what makes this collab concept strong. I'm just a detail oriented person I guess.
-
I thought I'd upload these images which show all the individual tiles and the borders they had to work with to make the tile.
(Green indicates an empty tile at that time. The absence of a border on any edge is because it is at the edge of the board)

Hopefully I got the actual creation order correct enough that the given borders are as they were - sorry if there are any errors in that.
I love the fact that the whole things appears to emminate from the brain in the center as a weird and wacky collection of its bizarre imagination. Also (nice one Lackey) anything with a little iso-wizard doing his magic somewhere in it gets a big thumbs up from me ;)

Well, ain't that nice and useful :D
-
Great result :y:
Some neat stuff in there.
I especially like the variety in styles. Everyone used the same colors and had only a small canvas to work with,
but it still shows everyone has a different approach.
heh, looks like I was right by guessing tile 6.
@Zoggles
Thanks for taking your time, great compilation.

Looks amazing :D, now we need more mockups frenzies ;D!

Awesome everyone! Hopefully I won't have to work so much next time (ha ha). I'm glad the way this turned out. My trashy tile couldn't hold a candle to this level of skill. Awesomesauce, just awesomesauce.
-
This turned out great. Outstanding work everyone!
-
This is just too good.
I'm way pissed I couldn't grab myself a tile - too much work at the beginning, then just no way to get any near the end. Grrrrr.
Huge congrats to everybody involved, mainly to Ptoing for making it be, and Zoggles for the analysis: quite useful!
Some suggestions for the (*hopes hard*) next one:
- have a loose theme, not necessarily imposed;
- impose a more or less restricted palette on some tiles (like 8,4, 2 colors, all from the main palette);
...
- and selfishly, give priority to pple not having had tiles yet? Hahaha.
Btw, 1st post here, so hi everybody! :-*
-
Hey Manupix, there will be more of these next year. I am having fun doing these, so I will keep doing them :)
I am having some ideas for some further rules, like there must be at least 2 tiles distance in a straight line between tiles of the same person and such, which would eliminate tiles having multiple borders from the same person as well as limiting tilegrabbing a bit.
But first I have to get the Secret Santa activity ready :o
-
Zoggles, that is awesome! Anyway, I don't think the rules need to be more complicated; personally, I think joining your tile to adjacent tiles and working with the palette is challenge enough. Also, as much as I like seeing 5 Setz tiles, I do think that the amount of tiles per person should be in some way restricted. Maybe Arne's palette next time, or even this palette (http://pixeljoint.com/pixels/challenge_item.asp?id=1117) taken from the Easter Island challenge over at PJ :P
I thought Secret Santa was Panda's thing. :huh: Looking forward to it anyway.
(Hi Manu :lol:)
-
Holy Testicle Tuesday! Thats one mighty piece, totally awesome. Palette is worth of special words I can't find.=)
Wasn't be able to grab one for me this time, but i'll be waiting.=) :ouch:
-
Soooo... What's next ???
;D

First yoni's and now testicles huh Fool? ehhhhrm . . . So lemme get this straight - next hexquisite collab, you're in? Good. Me too, as usual. All are interested in seeing what's cooking up at the correct thread for future Hexquisite collab (http://www.wayofthepixel.net/pixelation/index.php?topic=8629.msg101701#msg101701) talkin'.
-
truly beautiful and exciting piece :'(
thanks Zoggles !
-
This is epic awesomeness.
We need to do another one. :P
Offtopic: I found out what Ptoing's avatar says! wo0t
-
hey guys!
i made this CLICK ME (http://www.iloveui.com/pixel/HCCII/hex2_final.html)
Is a mouse over with the INFO of who made each tile. Hope you guys enjoy.
(DOWNLOAD HERE) (http://www.iloveui.com/pixel/HCCII/HCCII.rar)
-
That is pure awesomeness <3
I was thinking of making something like that but I never got around to it D: Perhaps when you click a tile it should show it in isolation. Also, Zoggles 85 is spelt incorrectly.
-
itd also be great if the hex tiles had a hex clickable area rather then square. (like so: http://danfessler.com/websites/pixcollab/ ) I was working on an automated system to handle the hex collabs some time ago and thats what as far as I got.
-
hey guys
Indigo :OOOO, amazing!!.. gogogog and finish it. looks awesome :PP
Skamocore, thx, i fixed it...
also if any of you download the files... i include a txt, here is the text
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Hola ppl!...
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
If you wanna "add" a reticle, rename the "hexborDELETE.png" file to "hexbor.png", and done :D
TODO LIST
- Add link/e-mail of each person who participe on this collab.
- Add the info on the Legend.
Example: Setz: #5, #68, #41... etc etc
P.D: if you guys can help me with the LEGEND, plz write me a mail with the info, or just add to the HTML and Send the HTML to me
mailto:uimail[A]gmail.com
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
-
Just wanted to point out I think you're referring to a LEGEND instead of a LEYEND? Love what you've done otherwise, wish I could offer some assistance with what you need on the HTML front but I'm not very well-versed with it, sorry!
Perhaps a 2x magnification loupe box would be a great addition to this, maybe upon mouseover just that tile would appear as a 2x magnification much like the HTML script that allows us to click to zoom in on these boards. Though I don't know how easy that would be to accomplish without uploading each tile as its each image so it could be too much trouble with how you are currently doing this. I'm assuming it's a hotspot grid mask?
-
Argyle, yah i was meaning "Legend", jeje, sorry my english is pretty bad! XD...
the x2 zoom is possible. I can suggest/preffer, each tile Scaled x2... with the double size. Since all the browser now have that HORRIBLE smooth that totally broken the pixels. Actually this is pure CSS+HTML, so its not really complex. But the hard part will be scale and name each tile! XDDD. I can made an script to scale the tiles to the double size, but not to rename each tile, since they need a name like... ""tile02NAME.png""... i can do that manually but not now XDDD im really busy right nwo! :(((
about the legend, well you jut have to TYPE, who made what in a TXT file, i will do the rest :DDD
thx thx... hope somebody helps :PPP
-
I don't think there will be another one this year, tho, but early next year for sure. :)
next, bitte!
-
wow! I just saw this, incredible work on this one! It goes together so well. that brain is perfect for the center!
-
Wow indeed. So crazy so weird so ....so whatever it is!
Masterpiece of madness and creativity. :D
-
I don't think there will be another one this year, tho, but early next year for sure. :)
next, bitte!
yes plox
-
Life and work is holding back a new hex collab, but I am SERIOUSLY planning to get one going this year... sometime... promise... :'(
-
Well that's cool to hear. Will you work with us (http://www.wayofthepixel.net/pixelation/index.php?topic=8629.msg102372#msg102372) on a concept or just spring something on us when the time is right? I really think we can make the infinite hex quilt idea work with a little more development.
-
I have an idea for something smaller, so I will probably do that one first. But please feel free to chip away at the infinite concept.
-
I've notified this thread so when ptoing unveils the next hexsquasit thingy I'll know. :D
-
Who says I will announce the next hex collab in here? I will just make a new thread and news box banner. ;)
-
That was a hint ;) ;)
-
Now that your cranium has been properly modified, the people demand mas HEX!
-
I cant believe how this came together so well, immense!
Looking forward to seeing another collab.
-
Wow, has it been a year already?
I still marvel at this from time to time.
-
When is the next collab happening?
-
good ideia ;D
