emcee ii collaboration: The first series of our emcee exquisite corpse project is up. The second one will probably be up tomorrow...

Nicely played corpsers. I like how this loads up - you can look at it as a whole picture and then reload to see exactly where each panel starts and ends. And I like the horizontal corpse layout compared to the vertical corpses that I've done in the past. It's elegant at times and goofy others. To me one of the signs of a good corpses is when there's not a clear cut favorite panel, which is true in this case.

I could make each one clickable, so we could see each individual panel by clicking on it...

I too really like the sideways scrolling. Now that I've actually done one and seen how it fits with the one before it, I can see that I need to work on improving the seamless quality...you shouldn't be able to see where one ends and the next begins. I also like how the two ends have people with hands raised in the air...nifty! Liking the farm animals, too.

I like the horizontal scroll, too.

It's also nice to see what came before me in total. I was dying of curiosity once I got that sliver from amberglow.

well done!

I can't wait to get in on one of these.

Okay, now I've made it so that if you click on any panel, you will get a popup window showing the 15-pixel strip that the artist received and used to start his or her piece with.

Neat!

I thought you were going to set it up so you could click on the image and see the individual panel, but I like the 15 pixel strip idea even more. Thanks again for steering the corpse ship safely into port.

Yeah... I was, but then I realized that showing the strips might be cooler.

Also, of course, anybody using firefox can can just right click on the images to "view image". (And I think with IE you can drag the image to the address bar.)

cool! it looks really good. I'll make my next one more seamless too..

Oh dear, that's beautiful and funny and wierd. Well done all. I'm more than a little bit worried about my contribution to #2. I'm not sure I understood the "seamless" part, but I am certain that mine ain't it.

That's a kick! ...laughing, here. Sooo fun.

I play a good bit of Photoshop Tennis (in a Gals vs Guys elimination match atm), but have yet to participate in a collaboration project like this .. mostly, because the ones i see begun never get finished. You actually coordinated that many people; i'm impressed.

Awesome! I can't wait to see the next one.
