So, ever heard of Tzigla? It's this collaborative art project thingamajig, that lets artists contribute tiles to eventually form a crazy awesome big picture. I've done a few tiles on a few boards, and it serves as an exhilarating creative out-let, and it's tremendously fun.

Typically, the boards have a fairly large canvas size, and the tiles are quite small. This means that they don't take too long to do, and don't require much commitment. I've realised that 64Digits has a pretty plentiful supply of skilled artists, and it'd be really neat to see everyone's talent and personality put into a single artwork. Boards generally take a long time to complete (I think the Pixelation board was under development for several months), but look amazing when completed.

I've contacted the creator of the site to see about setting up a 64Digits board. It's possible to have login integration, so that theoretically we could sign in using our 64Digits accounts. Although, I'm not really in touch with the workings of 64Digits, so I'm not sure how we would go about doing that, but maybe someone who is familiar could work something out. It's possible to have boards be private (using login integration I assume), but that probably won't be necessary.

As far as I know, this is how boards work

-Each board begins with one starting tile.

-Members will be able to reserve a tile.

-Only specific tiles will be open for reservation depending on the situation. Scenarios are as follows:

>The entire board is open, and any unfinished tile can be claimed.

>Only tiles directly diagonal or adjacent to other finished tiles can be claimed.

>Only tiles directly diagonal or adjacent to other finished tiles, as well as randomly scattered available tiles, can be claimed.

-Once an artist has reserved a tile, they will have a set amount of time to submit their finished tile. If they do not submit their finished tile within that time, it will be released, free for anyone else to reserve.

-You can only reserve one tile at a time.

-You cannot re-reserve the same tile after you have released it, for a set amount of time (but that doesn't mean you have to stop working on it).

-You can choose to give up on a tile and release it at any time during your reservation period.

-Once you have submitted a finished tile, a curator (moderator) of that board will be notified, and will decide if the tile is to be approved and added to the board, or sent back for more work.

-Once an artist's tile is approved, they are free to start on another open tile, but cannot work on any tiles directly diagonal or adjacent to a finished tile of their own.

-Once a tile is completed and added to the board, it will be either:

>Visible to everyone.

>Covered up by a black square, but the edges of the tile will still be visible.

>Covered up by a black square, but only the edges of the tile that do not join to another finished tile will be visible.

>Or covered up by a black square, but only the edges of the tile that do not join to another finished tile will be visible, but any finished tile that is surrounded on all sides by another finished tile will be completely visible.

So, anyone interested in this? I think it'd be great fun. If it were to happen, I would be a curator, along with a couple of other people (so that tiles get approved faster). Also, what kind of tile visibility would you be interested in? We could have every finished tile immediately visible, but I think having them slowly revealed, or revealed only when the board is finished is much more exciting/interesting (it also causes artists to be more creative, as they won't be able to see what a neighbouring tile is about). Also, these collabs primarily work best when the medium of pixel art is used, but is not necessarily restricted to that.

Discuss.
