The idea behind this is simple:
Claim a square, and draw an image for it.
However, your image must connect with those around it at the time it is posted, so if someone uses an animation, you may have to animate yours to get it to line up properly.

Numbering, for convenience, is alphabetic across the top and numeric down the side.
Remember, it must fit at the time that it is posted, so be wary of claiming a square bordering another claimed but unfinished square.
Finally, I will make a local copy of your work, so don't think that you can secretly alter it after. If you do, your square will be rejected and reset.
At any time you may request that any of your own squares are reset and made available.
Edit: since some programmers count from 0, but most non-programmers don't, I'll clearly state that the numbers are 1 to 8, and the letters a to h.
Edit again:
Before anyone has to ask, yes, you can draw more than one square, or even combine a few unclaimed squares into something larger.
However, to prevent malicious space hogging, you will be restricted to four claimed-but-not-posted squares at once, unless you simply ask and people generally don't mind. I guess I can't stop people from claiming more than they should, but I can't stop someone from ignoring your claim and making their own also.

Well, when I wanted to animate the light from the magma, since it would be fairly easy, and look decent.

_I keep trying to figure out what the gray stone layer is, so I know what formations and gems to use. Since it's beneath white marble, that would mean it's probably a contact-metamorphism stone or a laccolith, but I thought it would be black in that case. Could a more serious rock nerd come help?

I still don't know what to do with the gray stone. HFS?
Qwerty, will you just use the other animation's timing when making the composite? I want them to match up.
Edit: I think I've finished my tile now.
E3 and E4. Did my best to match up the really weird different things all coming together, notably the differences in sky.

That is a nice capstone... though I think it may have been stretched to be oversized or something, it's a bit too wide and too tall in the full pic and doesn't quite match up (see below). Good work all around, this was fun!

umm, no, none of those work on pixel art. at all.
Don't they? It would help if you tried before making such bold statements. Here you go. Guess how I did it.
