Tzigla is for collaborative drawings

Specifically, the type of drawing where several artists create tiles that connect to each other to finally result in a complete drawing. The fun part is that they only see a small margin of the surrounding tiles so the results end up quite surreal.

I just discovered this site today.
There used to be a similar site called tiles.ice.org which I participated in many years ago, but has since disappeared from the face of the internet.
You can only see it via the wayback machine now.
I managed to find an old image that I worked on back then. You can see it here: [link]
And you can see the list of my tiles individually here: [link]

Anyway, this new site, Tzigla, operates pretty much the same way that tiles.ice.org did, but one nice new feature they have included is an in-browser pixel editor, so that you can draw your tiles right there in the browser instead of having to fiddle around with an art program.
I've done a couple of tiles now on the newbie images, and I think I'll do a few more while I hone my skills and confidence before I jump into the advanced section.

This is really a lot of fun, and I highly recommend it to anyone who has an interest in creative collaborative art.

It may seem kind of daunting but it's not actually very difficult, especially when most of the images enforce a limited pallette, so joining seamlessly from one tile to the next is pretty easy.

If you think it sounds fun, I'd suggest reading these few pages of info on the site first:

And then jump straight in and have a go on one of the sandboxes or newbie images.

The more people contribute the faster the image will get completed and the more fun it'll be, so I encourage everyone to come and have a go.

Well shit~ Now there's a name I've not seen in forever and a day. Do you know who I am? Maybe the character in the icon can tip you off? Or maybe ~LudicrousBox could tell you. :>

Did you used to be called Don? Man, you've gone through so many different accounts. I think I lost track of you after Watermellon.

Indecisive and shy? I don't remember that about you. I remember you introduced me to some good like DJ Shadow and Sneaker Pimps.
You used to draw DBZ fancharcters, and you were good friends with Jazz-chan, now called Caramel. I still watch her, but on Furaffinity these days.

What have you been up to all these years? As you can see from my gallery, I've been working pretty hard on my art for the last couple of years myself. I've also just started learning guitar thanks to that new game, Rocksmith.

I've done one or two males along the way, but I prefer the ladies.

Ahh. I'd like to see a bit more males, just for some variety, but it's ultimately your choice. I still enjoy seeing your work every day. ^^

So, Your work has progressed to the level to where I think your ready for a nifty little challenge I've been hearing about. If you feel up to a challenge yourself, note me.

Heya, stupid question but.. At MiDFur I think you told me about there being an RSS feed of furmeets and stuff or something like that.

But I'm dumb and I can't find it.

Halp?
