 Ooh. Are you still making templates for peeps keys1980? Can you make me one for Captain Planet? I'm not even sure we have all these colors in the game.  Be happy to make that for you. At work (12 hour shifts) the next few days so be patient. I'll tag you when it's ready. |

keys1980 you are a master artist and not surprising master in stitching images  Thank you for making my funny dragon love him now if I could finish my town I don't mind you posting here at all we should keep this thread clean so ppl can come by and see what a wonderful teacher you are ! Ok big request I am stuck with how to complete my town but I think if I could see my town in whole it would help me, would you be willing to make a stitch of my town? Oh and I think making giant art is addicting like tattoo I want a new one already ! Lol Not till I get more tickets in KL though  The Ap I use to stitch photos ( autostitch in the ap store) only works with about 8 images max, anything more and it goes all wonky. To do a panoramic takes about 40-50 photos. I do believe Petergreen takes requests for panoramics. I would tag him but I'm on my phone at work and don't know how to tag ppl from the mobile site. |

I'm going to try ice sculptures for Tink's wings. Not sure how it will work but they're not premium Snowmen heads might work too. |

Smash-a-noid DroidI love that flag. If you do decide to remove it and want something specific to replace it, just ask and I will be happy to help a fellow Canuck. I was thinking if i go big i might as well do a map of canada. And incorporate my town into it. |

Thanks Mitzy, I was thinking about making my own thread and was struggling with a tittle for it. Keys art school is perfection, well done! Love that you are actually using what I made for you, looks fantastic thus far! LoL definitely did derail Ðxhealer thread. As I said in that thread if anyone would like a specific pixel art template to have an art piece in their town I will happily make it for you. I can post it in this thread or PM it to you if you want it under wraps . I can give suggestions on what decorations to use in making the piece. I typically use a 64x64 graph template (that's pretty big, a single piece of road/pavement is 4x4). I can go bigger still or smaller if you want (smaller equals less detail equals less awesome FYI). All in all I am an open book here to help create a template and offer advice on how to transfer it to your town. Also no pressure to use what I make. I know it can be daunting or maybe you just won't like what I make for you. It's all good, please nobody be shy in communicating exactly what you want. Let's all break EA's servers together with giant art pieces No stupid questions either. If you have any questions ask em. This is a wonderful idea.  You should make a thread dedicated to art, tips Q&A and such. I personally think it's a superb idea!! |

Run into a problem. Nearly maxed out on decorations. I made room in my main town for tink but now my town is a mess and I can't finish colouring in  Got loads to do but it's a great excuse for a redesign in my town. What ya think so far keys1980 hope I'm doing your plan justice  |

What ya think so far keys1980 hope I'm doing your plan justice Looks brilliant so far Mitzy ! As for the hard cap it's 7500 decorations. I feel your pain more than you know. If you look at my town today you can get an idea for what 6500 decorations looks like. I know I'm currently sitting at that aprox that count, including my newest giant art piece. Your town is very much brilliantly ornate so it's tough to downscale things. |

Well I've hit the decoration cap of 7500 and tinkerbell has no hair colour but looking good anyway. Now off to try and store excess stuff in my town. Oh the joy. On the plus side I've changed loads and still have a space open ready for the Kong Tower.  Edit. She's finished keys1980. She has her hair. Well chuffed. Thanks again  |

MitzyLove it! Going to take a spin around your town and take a closer look. It was a tough one to pull off, even I couldn't say what I decorations I would have used. The trickiest part is figuring out what to use when you simply don't have the proper colored decorations. You definitely pulled it off though! Love how you managed her eyes and the white fences for wings work really well IMO. Hair looks great too

It was worth the sacrifice  |

Looks amazing Hell's Belle. I have a nice chunk of open space right now but no inspiration. Keys has pretty much cornered the market on bad ass simpsons art.

SwankyThis ended up being trickier than expected, in the end I think I captured it pretty well. Now the tough part. A pain I know all to well. Sometimes the decoration color pallet required just isn't there. No worries though, I have made more than a few projects and just substitute colors and it ultimately works out well in the end. Suggested decorations -black outline use single and double spaced hedges -red glove and chest use red newspaper dispensers -for hair use the green planters or the new purple rock wall, or the grey rock wall -for the yellow globe use pumpkins or washing machines -for his darker blue skin tone use dark green shrubs, for his lighter blue skin tone use light green shrubs -for the whites of his eyes and mouth use white fences, concrete or if you have enough propane tanks (trash homer and Lisa clean up) they work well.

So you would like a map of Canada design then? I certainly can do that. Cool yeah... I'm thinking the whole map and i'll leave the flag in place which is in the top right corner. , your request might actually be more than I can handle. As I type this I'm not sure what the scale of the entire map is and I'm thinking it would probably come close to half the in game allotment of decorations just to do the outline. It would take some serious leg work on my part to figure out something to that scale. Not saying no just yet, just saying I need a moment to digest this rather intriguing difficult request. I do quite like the idea In the mean time I came up with a few smaller Oh Canada! alternative options to mull over. As I have said I'm busy with work the next few days and I'll get back to you ASAP on your original request.   |

Take your time i dont think i will start till after this event. |
