Tzigla - Collaborative drawings
13 years ago
http://tzigla.com/
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: http://bit.ly/JhjT03
And you can see the list of my tiles individually here: http://bit.ly/IHVNH4
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:
http://tzigla.com/pages/about
http://tzigla.com/pages/help
http://tzigla.com/pages/tiles
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.
You don't have to worry about signing up for an account or anything either. You can simply log in with your google, facebook or twitter account.

OP
Yeah, as a child there was a drawing game similar to this where you folded a piece of paper into thirds, and then one person drew the head of a creature in the top third, leaving a small part of the drawing hanging over the border, then the next one starts from that border and draws the body, leaving the start of the legs hanging over again for the last person to draw from, and then once it's all done you unfold the paper and see what kind of crazy creature you've created.
