Hi Breid,
Although I might have voted more favorably if you were a veteran tiler, I voted as I did because I believe that need to understand the hope of contiguity and continuity that is held for each adjoining tile. Your imagery was great, although the teeth look as if they were just plopped there in the center as almost a footnote to your theme. It was the opportunity that you missed, to keep that continuity in the upper right corner. Each artist sees only a flavor of the bordering tile(s)and although it is almost impossible to capture the theme of an adjoining tile, by that small border, it is usually always determinable for whether that artist is fading his image out or cutting it off sharply. In detail, the tile above indicates a fading edge where the author presents the opportunity for a fellow tiler to graduate his work into an image, rather than cut his color sharply. The black line between the tile that you did and the tile above fell in your domain and in this case, you might have considered pulling down the pixels from the neigboring tile, insofar as the joinery was obviously abstract. If you are working in Corel, just select the q-tip tool, (the smear tool), set your tooltip and just drag the host color down into your working area. Remember, without a mask you can pull or push color over and back of your boundary line but if you mess up the original, the image will not appear blended when you clip it at an exact 128x128 pixels and paste it back into the original. I do the final blending on the sealed original and save back to the original file number. Breid, I think that you'll do fine and that you'll find your way to tilers paradise, out there on those heavy duty quilts that make us seem closer to amateurs than just common "Newbies"... Stick around and Happy tiling,
Ed Martin, LIE
