Let's make a mural

[Lord Nibbler]

We haven't done a mural in a looong time, and they're usually fun even if they don't last that long.

Anybody interested? Anybody have an idea for a theme?

[SeanDMan]

The music mural was fun. Maybe classic movies?

[Ignition]

I'm in! Maybe a hollywood theme?

[Vendetta]

Its October, how about horror movies?

[SeanDMan]

Uh, easier to stick to just movies I think. I have no interest in horror movies, so I'd be out, but I admit I'm no big loss. Just ma opinion.

[Ignition]

How about a general halloween theme?

Ooh! I've missed Murals, plus it'll give me an excuse to do something non-print related for once too (like I've been trying to do in my "give me rules" thread. Finding hi-res images of game characters is harder then it originally seemed )

Count me in big time. Also: I like the idea of a 'Hollywood' theme. It's a broad area, so we can really do horror movies for Halloween if we want, go classic ala original Superman, etc. Seems like it'll appeal to a broader talent pool of designers here.

I wanna try this, but I'm with SDM... I'm not feeling the horror movies.

[The Mask of Norro]

Yeah, strictly horror would be pretty constricting. Like I said in my edit: I'm with Ignition, let's go with a general Hollywood theme.

[SeanDMan]

That was my idea first, you bastards. :@

[The Mask of Norro]

You said classic movies, not all of Hollywood's history >_>

[SeanDMan]

Yeah, by classic, I meant awesome. Not just, say, Casablanca, but also Pulp Fiction, and even camp, like Snakes On A Plane maybe.

Kind of like how classic rock covers the 60s up to the 00s nowadays.

[Ignition]

Nah nah! Hollywood sounds good to me too. JTE to start?

... wait, it does? Eww.

[SeanDMan]

True story, my classic rock station plays Breaking Benjamin.

[The Mask of Norro]

True story, my classic rock station plays Breaking Benjamin.

... I even like Breaking Benjamin and I know that's not classic rock. Jesus Christ.

But yeah, okay, we'll go with Classic/Hollywood then

[New Damage]

How would a mural go like? I mean how would it start etc.? I may be interested, the movie theme seems decent.

[Lord Nibbler]

Someone creates the first tile and then the next person creates a tile the same size that joins onto it, then the next person takes THAT tile...etc. etc.

There's a guide to murals here.

[Lord Nibbler]

An awesome mural

An EWB "space" mural

An EWB "music" mural

OK, the starting tile. 600x400, overlap is up to whoever goes next.
