This is the second worm topic and I've changed some rules.
What is a worm? A worm is an phenonem where artists gather to create a huge worm/line of pictures that flow in each other.
Few examples of worms:

The rules:
Well to prevent from this becoming an utter chaos of pictures, there are a few rules.
1. You have to be experinced with photoshop (No filter worms svp)
2. Make a nice flow between, the pictures before you
When you sign up, you will be giving a number. After the guy before you finished the part you got 2 days to finish your own. If you can't make it in 2 days, your name will be scratched from the list, unless you ask for more time or different spot.
List of participants:
1. Icarus
2. Devion
3. Timotio
4. Dale_x
5. Deadeye
6. ???
7. ???
8. ???
9. ???
10. ???
When you finished your part, just pm me with the link so I can add your part to the worm. But there is a new requirement, the worm HAS to flow with the one before and if it doesnt, it won't be added. Another requirement is that you won't make it improbable to let it flow gently into the next worm part.
The worm website:
In due time, if Zeth completes part 1.
Reason why I quited the previous worm because people didnt(including myself I guess) put enough effort in letting the worm to flow.
P.s. I've continued to old list, if you don't want to be a participant, please do reply.

Sorry. Count me out. Worms are just too predictable any way it goes. Abstract art tends to be that way. Most of these examples I'm seeing are just gradient or quad-toned themes, random photoshop shapes or patterns, or spastic random dumps. With the rules you have set, transitioning to the next frame almost always limits you to mono/duo-tone or gradient blends. This, in itself, limits you to pulling a shape concept on the next frame (with mono-tone usually we see buildings or some other color overlayed image) or "sky" concepts (which is mostly present with gradients).
I mean. Come on. Whats the point here  ? An end product is an end product and the trends seem to always win. If we went with a non-abstract worm, we'd probably see some clever blending, but the focal object woul steal so much that frame transitions would be noticable anyhow (unless we went with 100% non-astract in which case we'd need to find people who can actually draw)
Why not be creative? Do something like a multi-axis focus story? Just have someone make or take a large sized vector image and make an imprint/outline of it. Slice that image and have everyone get a slice of the outline. After getting your image slice, you would write a short piece of text about the main image in the format of a story (any genre). Anything goes in the image except that you have to keep at least 5px from the outline image cleaned (black or another color throughout). After your piece of the image was done, the next image in the same row would begin and pick up where your story and image left off. After a row is complete, you simply go to the next row. Each image would need to be in relation to the story piece, of course.
This concept would not only give everyone a chance at a bit of artistic adaptation, but also allow for creative writing as well. All in all though, everything is a time waster. I demand everyone that was going to work on the worm instead put some time into learning some new skill that will help your beloved project

Count me out, Photoshop is being bitchy and apparently doesn't listen to my mouse clicks.
