Don't anybody start with me. Sometimes I just post 'em.

Hard to say Fresh Prince with the bottom three panels being so nice, but let's face it, this is a Fresh Prince. Jakedrews had a really nice panel at the start (I love the blue border - it worked vibrantly with the B/W fill). A shame rainydaysaint abandoned all but the B/W scheme. I see it was rainy's first corpse so he/she gets a get-out-of-jail free card for now.
The bottom three panels are quite cohesive, and I love how skunksarecool proved just how cool skunks really are.

Sad, but not terrible. I would have greatly preferred to see a creative transition from the first section, but even so, there is a certain geometry-symmetry effect throughout. And the gray-scale works as well.
I suppose if one plays long enough, getting 'princed' is inevitable.

The tiniest effort at blending would have made all the difference, since all the panels are so cool in their own right.
Love your skunks, Skunks, and love their extra dangly arms (like Dali elephants!), Quackling. And Quackling, those tiny intricate Miro-esque flourishes are awesome.
Rainydaysaint, your arty sketchy drawing style is nice -- we love hand drawing around here. I hope you'll stick around, and next time try to extend the 15 pixels you're given with a smoother blend.

... or with a blend at all, really...

jakedrews, what a wonderful panel! I love the shading...
As for the rest...it works.
rainydaysaint...I think now you may have a better idea of how it works. :)

hee hee, Phineas.
Quackling, LOVE your panel. The people, the detail, all excellent. Skunksarecool, indeed they are! Great piece. Sorry, jakedrews, that you got snubbed like that.
All in all, a very striking corpse, in spite of the obvious.

I am so unbelievably peeved!
There is no point in me ranting - because it is quite obvious where my peevedness emanates from - instead I shall tell you about my tile...
The initial stimulus was from this corpse:
http://anexquisitecorpse.net/crypt/2006/12/auslandernetted.php
The tiles by Tulibo and julen.
So, because I am me and they are them – I decided to theme my doodleness – with symbols/icons. These include:
Photoshop brushes
Road signs
Computer icons
General symbols
There are millions in there – spot away if you like!
There is also some letters, which if found will let you know my deepest darkest feelings. Luckily most they are well hidden!
Back to the point in hand.
I love all three other tiles and would one day love to know how Jakes Checks would have worked out.
P.S.
Phineas – I love you – thanks for posting it!

i see letters...are they in order?

I wonder what's in that looooong gray package? Stilts? A floor lamp? A stuffed giraffe?
skunksarecool at January 11, 2007 8:39 PM
It MUST be the "leg lamp" from "A Christmas Story"

Mudhooks, I saw that in someone's window this Christmas -- someone with an extra decked-out yard in lights and decorations. Was wondering where they got it!
Shae at January 12, 2007 8:14 AM
Mudhooks, that gave me a great laugh. Imagine some little company making a dime or two off the pop icons from Christmas Story. Why don't they sell Red Rider Bee Bee guns?

benny: - The letters aren't in order, and aren't all along the bottom...my darkest secret is not "ENDEO"!
In fact I don't even think the "END" is in the anagramed sentence.

It would be nice to hear from Raineydaysaint
