Emcee Squared 2 is done! So beautiful. So fun. As good as a toad lily!
→[More:]
We did this one as a continuous connecting image, so try setting it as your wallpaper with it tiled. As a result of the continuous nature, I wasn't sure whose image I should put in the middle, so I put up two versions. Feel free to patch together your own if you want to see your square in the center.

Version 1, with Dr. Negative in the middle. The other artists, counterclockwise from the upper left, are bunnyfire, box, Eideteker, wendell, agropyron, gaspode, muddgirl, and LoriFLA. (I think I got that right.)

Version 2, with my very own Funbot in the middle.

Good work, folks!

Wow, very nice! I'm impressed, it flows so well.

Everybody is so original, I am a blatant copier. :-)

Lori - I wondered where you came up with those interesting and so-hard-to-integrate plants!

Good job everyone, it looks fabu! (In the future, I think we should choose a background that's more neutral, but even with that it's great!)

muddgirl, I think you're absolutely right. I'm going to make a version with a different background color. Suggestions?

beige!

posted by LoriFLA 20 February | 18:00

I'm just kidding, I don't know if MS Paint has beige. The drab olive green may be an option.

Here's a version with most of the red out.

That was fun. it took me back to my Mac IIci days using SuperPaint.

I just set this as my desktop, set on tile, as an experiment.

In summation:
MY MIND, SHE IS BLOWN!

Fantastico!

That is so fun. We Group 1-ers should emulate the continuity and solid background and FUN!

I miss you Agropyron. How are you, how's the Diva?

That is seriously awesome. Great job, guys!

Another blown mind here. I had no idea I was drawing the view from my window as a continuation of a Matisse... I love what somebody did with the rest of the Wendellphone player!

You can't even imagine how much this blows my mind... when I first came up with the emcee "squared" idea, I drew up a possible first middle square to use. After all, I ended up doing something different for the middle of emcee squared #1, but here's the thing I almost used:

Now, go back and look at lorifla's source art. Woo, spooky!

Great fish, doc_neg. It makes me think of Seaman.

Woah! That is spooky Taz!

Taz...Twilight Zone!

Emceers....Great job, truly mind warping good times!

Really interesting. Thanks for the desktop.

Yay emcee squared 2! That was fun!

posted by gaspode 21 February | 09:29

Neat! Though next time I will have to take a secondary square as the tertiary one didn't really give me much creative freedom. I didn't really mind filling in the gaps, though. I think I did a good jorb with the minimalism.

Gaspode and muddgirl's squares went really well together, I think! Podeeeee, what's that tune you've inked?

Eideeeeeeee: it's the start of Kodachrome.

When I think back to all the shit I learned in music theory class...

posted by Eideteker 22 February | 06:52

(psst, in version 1 I just noticed - I think that order is clockwise from the upper left, or else counter clockwise from the upper right? I dunno, now I'm confused. I made the sqare in the lower left corner of version 1 - that's all I know)

posted by muddgirl 22 February | 21:35

Um, yeah, clockwise from the upper left. That's what I meant. Good catch, muddgirl.
