On Mar 29, 2007 I started a project called Pixel-Metropolis.

The purpose of this project is to create a metropolis of isometric pixel-art, consisting of 49 squares (248*248 pixels each, template available here).

Rules/guidelines for participating
- You must use the template provided by ~pixel-metropolis.
- Your contribution must be isometric.
- All basic lines must be of a 1:2 pixel ratio (leading to an angle of approx. 26.565 degrees) like the template provided by ~pixel-metropolis.
- There will only be ONE square (248*248 pixels) per person, so use it wisely.
- The content of your square must have the same scale as the rest of the town (have a look at the ones allready submited, which have been placed here as a temporary solution).
- You can only use pixel-art you have created yourself.
- Obey the deviantART Terms of Service and Etiquette Policy.
- You may place your avatar in your contribution as long as it is a character fitting the scale of the rest of the town.
- Your contribution may (but doesn't have to) be animated. Max 10 frames with 0,1 sec duration.

How to join the collaboration
- First, send an empty note to pixel-metropolis with the subject "Join!". Your gallery will be looked through, and if I like your work, you will recieve a note.
- If you are accepted, you must add pixel-metropolis to your watch list and put our stamp in your journal (if you don't have a subscription, use : deviconpixel-metropolis : without the spaces, which will show our avatar).

How to submit
- Note: You must be a member before you can submit anything to us
- First you upload it to your gallery like you would with any of your other artwork. Put this line: "Submission for the ~pixel-metropolis project" together with any of your other comments in Artist's Comment.
- ixel-metropolis&subject=Submission"Send us a note with the URL to your deviation. Make sure that you write "Submission" in the subject line.

Our chatroom - #pixelmetropolis hasn't really been used that much but I hope that it will be used more.
