Wow, some of the transitions work really well and it's hard to tell where one tile ends and the next one begins. Good work everybody!

I totally agree! It's surprisingly great. Well done.

Morre · « **Reply #251 on:** June 22, 2009, 12:09:03 pm »

Wow, that's crazy cool. Well done everyone!
(Damn, my tile looks ridiculously bad next to most of those...)

tomic · « **Reply #252 on:** June 22, 2009, 12:40:04 pm »

awesomly awesome.
took me 30 minutes to stop looking at it and restart working again (we've got a deadline here today!)

sorry to philliptr for the bad transition with the blocks btw.

Mirre · « **Reply #253 on:** June 22, 2009, 12:42:37 pm »

Haha, this is so awesome! Great effort and creativity everyone! There's so much great stuff to look at here, but I especially like Peach's little austronauts + Larwick's cans, JJ Naas' girl whose hair turns into spaghetti in big brother's tile at the bottom there, ilkke/huZba's robot and Perciv@l's monsters.

Incredible!
You just keep on finding more and more cool stuff!

Bestestestest collab evar!

Now a new one

generatedanomaly · « **Reply #256 on:** June 22, 2009, 02:23:36 pm »

Wow! What a collab!! I especially love JJ Naas's pic of the girl at the bottom - it looks like she's thinking everything! X) Totally FANTASTIC. Well done everyone!

ptoing · « **Reply #257 on:** June 22, 2009, 02:38:03 pm »

Glad this came out so cool and everyone had fun. If all goes well I will start a new one next month

Mathias · « **Reply #258 on:** June 22, 2009, 03:28:50 pm »

I can't stop looking at it, so much detail, and I keep finding more. This is one of those things where you can't prevent yer eyes from bouncing around randomly, too much crazy visual interest everywhere; no priority but it's wonderful.
Sure there's a few tragically non-descript tiles but the really good ones more than make up for the imbalance. Some transitions are nicely surreal.
This was well worth it. I look forward to the next one, but I hope it's different somehow. Different palette definitely, although as it turned out the C64 pal looks great here!
I'm really impressed with the pixel tech effort put forth by tomic and big b, and others of course. I've learned alot from this.

Peach · « **Reply #261 on:** June 22, 2009, 07:01:54 pm »

GREAT!
I love it
it's a nice trip to look at!

again ! another one !

JJ Naas · « **Reply #262 on:** June 22, 2009, 07:20:49 pm »

It's awesome. Good work. My favourite bits are tomic's Ocean Liner, big brother's spaghetti hex, especially the hands and the glass and Mathias' Sphinks has some very smooth handling of the C64 palette.

ui · « **Reply #263 on:** June 22, 2009, 07:33:27 pm »

Argyle · « **Reply #264 on:** June 22, 2009, 08:29:34 pm »

I was thinking of doing the same when I get a chance to refill my cartridges - print out a blown up version of tile sections and lay them out as a wall hanging.

Words cannot describe how well this turned out. I just love them all. ilkke's creatures are all just so silly and fun, Mathias has reinvented the obsurd notion of what my mind pictured under his tile masks, Arachne went places with Snoopy's head I never could have dreamed could happen; This would just be a big post if I let it become one but wow. Deliciously excellent!

The absolute weirdest part to me is that I claimed that tile specifically because the first thing I saw in the definition of robotriot's rocky edge was the outline of a fat belly, a mangled but extended arm with wrist bent, and a boob. It all fell together that way in my head oddly enough.

Running out the door to head home for the day but I had to say something. This was just so much fun and I really learned a lot. MORE!

Haha, this is also one of my favorite parts. Very imaginative

Among my other favorites are Arachne's retroish scifi scene, tomic's ship, big brother's spaghetti dish, ilkke's animal in #91 and the monsters in the sports arena by Perciv@l. But really, there are so many great areas and tiles by everyone, your eyes just keep jumping around from point of interest to point of interest.

I have to give you more props Mathias, you perhaps created some of my favorite pieces in the collab, your mastery of the palette is astounding. Just look at that skull, that AA is amazing, beautiful work.

Argyle · « **Reply #268 on:** June 22, 2009, 10:27:07 pm »

I'm throwing together a WIP animation of the grid if that's ok. I'm just revealing the grid in the order in which it happened from start to finish based on each of the sequential images that you have archived in the image database. I will probably just be showing the images unmasked without names, nothing flashy.

Thanks, bro!!

With a new Hex collab on the way, all interested in participating need to go make their voices heard, over at the Hexquisite Corpse Suggestion Thread, so it can be set up in a way everyone can enjoy contributing to the most, within reason of course (can't please everyone).

I'm hoping we at least put a new spin on this, one way or the other.

Shrike · « **Reply #270 on:** June 23, 2009, 12:30:40 am »

OMFG
I'm not one of the people to sit there, continuing to refresh browsers waiting for the image to be unveiled, but even as a latecomer (relatively) I'm god damn amazed!

IT KICKS ASS. I honestly was not expecting this good of a turnout. It's like post-modern art but awesome and c64y. I freaking love it, this is going on my facebook. Also this is the first time I've been motivated to save anything to my hard drive, challenge wise.

WIP animation constructed!

Each step is in 2 second steps, and it hangs at the final frame for 20 seconds and loops forevah!

Just pop it into your animation program if you wish to view each frame of the animation at your own pausable pace. If I were a greater man and didn't have a baby that enjoyed banging on my keyboard when I do stuff with her on my lap I would have considered scripting up a flash applet with mouseovers et cetera but this is more than enough haha.

Hyperlinked to it instead of posting it up so that it wouldn't be halfway through the frame loop by the time people scrolled down to it in the thread.

Very nice to view it like that.
However, tile 21 is moved down one pixel

Dusty · « **Reply #273 on:** June 23, 2009, 09:23:47 am »

I was skeptic at how well this was going to flow, but wow.

Also, I really like how the bottom-most tile is the girl, and everything seems to be flowing out of her head -- like they're all her ideas and such.

I think this is just going to be another one of those things from Pixelation that end up floating around the internet.

Great way for JJ naas to steal the thunder - I bet he knew what he was doing, too XD

I tease. That's one of my favorites. I love how BB turned her hair into a meal!

JJ Naas · « **Reply #275 on:** June 23, 2009, 09:39:15 am »

Thanks all for the comments about the girl. The hair flowing out of the hex wasn't what I initially started working on, I did her on a profile at first but figured after a while that it sort of just had to be that way.

The advantages of being the first to grab a hex.

Didn't give you much to blend with and your tile turned out awesome, so no hard feelings here

Conceit · « **Reply #279 on:** June 24, 2009, 11:13:42 pm »

as an innocent bystander I'd like to say I think the transition fits rather well with the blockyness.....

This is a very beautiful thing, I really like how by just giving everyone their space and letting them mesh with everybody else everything turned out soooo pretty. Like a little anarchic miracle or something =) it's really beautiful and I HAVE to be in the next one

The fact I just watched Synecdoche new york probably fuels my optimism here...but I really belive what I just said =)

I wonder if we could make one of these to tell a story...?

Mathias · « **Reply #280 on:** June 26, 2009, 04:17:26 am »

Looks great in print. Bit of a pain to trim, though!
It's about 35" (90cm) tall. Thanks for the great decoration, everyone.

*EDIT - changed "pixelation.net" to "pixelation"

Conceit · « **Reply #281 on:** June 26, 2009, 11:39:37 am »

that is incredible!!!!

And I thought I was clever for making it my desktop

EDIT: One thing I learnt from the HexCorpse collab......dont try to fit in :p I mean seriously in the ISO one we were all aware of what eachother was doing and tried to make things fit....the outcome was less creative in its use of color and everything (not to mention some overly obsessive individuals who dragged it on forever cause of tryin to force a plot on it :p )....here everyone did their thing only worryin about transitions and I even came to like the C64 pallete

I wonder what an ISO collab would be like if the tiles were obscured

Larwick · « **Reply #282 on:** June 26, 2009, 12:08:41 pm »

I always thought pixels looked very pretty when printed. A nice thing to have indeed!

vierbit · « **Reply #283 on:** June 26, 2009, 11:44:22 pm »

That print looks totally awesome.

I say this collaboration is by far the most successful. And now I feel really lazy for only doing one tile

.
Well, there probably comes a next chance.

An obscured isometric challenge sounds like it'll be crazy at screwing with perspective.

How did you print it, anyway? Plain paper mounted on some thicker board material? Cardstock? In segments pasted together? It looks great, I was planning on doing the same if I had any damned tonor for the printer

Oh, and it'd be wayofthepixel.net, not pixelation.net.

Mathias · « **Reply #289 on:** June 28, 2009, 04:28:25 am »

That's funny, I wasn't going to add ".net" to "pixelation" at first but ended up doing so anyway, but forgot to change it to the correct URL. I'll correct it Monday.

Printed on an HP designjet 5500, a wide-format printer which prints on a 42" (107cm) wide roll. Works great.

Don risotto · « **Reply #290 on:** June 30, 2009, 01:01:06 pm »

Looks great mathias. I sent mine to a print shop but it still came out looking dull and greenish??

Mathias · « **Reply #291 on:** June 30, 2009, 07:17:54 pm »

I hate printers that can't print. I hope you didn't pay for it. C64 pal is very printer friendly. Every color is pretty much within any professional printer's gamut except maybe the bright green, but it's not that bad.

Helm · « **Reply #292 on:** July 09, 2009, 04:52:09 am »
