Sorry...
... about adding a completely offtopic self-portait here... I was just practicing with face paints... sorry about the not relation with the quilt itself... and no, it is not bad painted or the proportions are wrong, I just look that way... xD

Oh this is nice. Yeah, might not blend well into the quilt but technique-wise it looks pretty awesome. What size was the tile when you painted on it? The potrait looks as if you're on the verge of saying something important :D

Re: :)
2x, 256x256 pixels. It is not highly detailed because it was of my firsts tiles and also it was fast done. I use to paint always at double resolution, but in the tile I'm doing today I started at 4x and I'm continuing it at 8x, because I want to print it when finished. In any case, 2x should be enough for any tile, but 4x able to create textures with more precision, but it is a lot of much more work and the results may looks exactly the same, or very little differences.
About my expression there, it was serious and without a smile because I felt very stupid watching to me in the mirror and with that silly smile xD, so I decided to do it serious.
Ju-Lian, when are we going to see your new tiles? And, when are you going to connect to ice irc to chat to you?

I tried connecting yesterday but everyone was sleeping. Only darkmage was online and he/she told me that it's 4-7am for most of the people in the channel. T_T I really need to ask about how things work around here. Things like..

1.)how do i give out coins?
2.)what do i do with the coins i get?
3.)can i reupload my tile? (i submitted the wrong one ARGH!)

Feel free to dropkick me if there's already a FAQ addressing this issue >_<.

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: :)
1) every 5 tiles you do, you have a coin to give... when you have one or more, there appear in near the tile voting place something that say "give it a coin".
2) I would do juggling with these, but I have no coins yet, and these are just used as something more than a vote, you give a coin to the tiles you really love. Since coins are hard to get (5 tiles are a lot of work), the tiles with coins use to be great tiles.
3) It is possible, but I think you should ask a administrator... they are at the irc (ask raganaga).
4) You have not asked 4 things, so this phrase is useless.

iCE consists of people of many nations. Chances are you'll eventually find people in your own timezone too.
Try #ice and #tiles, say a quick "hi" and if no one answered, we're probably idling :)

Re: Re: Re: Re: :)
thanks a lot for the replies. Now i feel smarter. *head glows*

But to reupload a tile, I'll see if I can meet some administrators in irc later on. Hm... thanks. :)
