This is basically animated version of this subreddit. It has an astounding collection of images like this. There are so many stories in every single one (most) of them.
Yeah, this instantly reminded me of the children's books which are apparently called "Wimmelbuch" in English as well (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wimmelbilderbuch) - this is a Wimmelanimation so to say...
I love the ones that are foreign to me because I don't understand any of the idioms. At all. Are those pies on the roof? Stabbing a brick wall with a knife?
Well, for these particular challenges, we're all on a Discord server (https://discord.gg/createwithclint), and these are semi-regular community challenges. There are also smaller weekly competitions, but these are the big community collabs:
The author has a blog post in Russian explaining how this works (they implemented a custom video format and render it to canvases) [1]. The author's flow chart is slightly reminiscent of Drakon [2] ... I wonder if that's still a thing over there :-)
It seems like the implementation is compiled from another language, but I'm not sure which one (I'm just curious about this).
I really do enjoy Bosch's work. It gives you a sense of what monsters looked like to people of the middle ages, many of which are animal and fish like.
That was really awesome, I've been a Buckethead fan since I discovered his music through Guitar Hero way back in the day.
Enter The Chicken has to be one of the most underrated metal albums of the 2000s, the collaborations with Serj Tankian stand out but there's a lot of great tracks on there.
I'm a guitarist so I enjoy shred wankery more than the average joe, but the actual songs with lyrics on Enter the Chicken stand up to repeat listening much better than most of his work imo. (ymmv)
Thanks for sharing that, I enjoyed it a lot. I had no idea Praxis existed, putting Bootsy and Buckethead in the same studio was bound to result in something good!
Amazing! The only way I can imagine to improve this would be to add music/sound effects that become louder or fainter depending on your location: Boney M, Pink Floyd, the Muppets "Mahna Mahna" song etc. etc.
It has a changelog in the top menu under "Changes" which lists all the additions by date. You can even get notified on updates (although only via Telegram, an RSS feed would be nicer).
Funny, while listening to my laptop's fan going crazy I was thinking that any computer from 2000 would have enough power to render this if it was native :P
Sure - also on your computer from 2000 the fans would be on all the time time, one fan would have a bad bearing, and the HD would literally be making a crunching sound, and you would constantly be cleaning gunk off the mouse ball.
It "performs well" in the sense that I as a human enjoy it smoothly, but it does make my modern laptop's fan spin up quite loudly; and I don't know (I could be wrong!) that it renders graphics that is effectively fundamentally more complex than the ones I enjoyed on Amiga 500 and x286?
This is not in any way to reduce its awesomeness; I just lost 15 minutes I don't have scrolling around and will return to it this weekend! But I wouldn't say it had great performance.
edit: Unless you meant "Stellar Performance" in the artistic sense, i.e. "The figure skater put up a great performance today", in which case wholeheartedly agree :-)
Funny enough, i can't seem to find a single studio ghibli reference.
I thought this style of art would lend itself well to alot of characters from that studio, but after clicking around for an hour I can't find a single one.
This is amazing. So many easter eggs to click through.
If you're a fan of this type of art, https://www.reddit.com/r/wimmelbilder/ is full of good stuff.
> to click through
Uuh, thanks for that. Spent 30 minutes looking through everything and didn't realize I could click on stuff until I saw your comment...
there are easter eggs too...

I love it, except the parts that show *gore*. IMO this could have been much more fun without them.
Artists gonna artist.
Thanks for the link. I've recently taken a liking to this style of art.
One of my favorite collaborative tiled art pieces is this 3D Marble Machine: https://youtu.be/Oszl95YWfbs
Wow, this is super cool. How do you get obviously talented people to spend so much time collaborating on things like this?
Pwnisher has a bunch of subscribers, making a 5s clip isn't outrageously time consuming, and it's a fun competition!
He's done a few of these community challenges:

Wow. I don't think I've ever felt less imaginative.

When I say to friends "the internet used to be fun," its projects like these that I miss!
Rich content (anything that isn't a listicle or SEO'd fluff article) has become harder and harder to find
I don't know why, but this is giving me vibes similar to The Garden of Earthly Delights by Hieronymus Bosch.
I love this version of that painting.

The music video for Bucket Head's Spokes for the Wheel of Torment animates the hell section of the triptych: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J3bO8rXc-nM
I really do enjoy Bosch's work. It gives you a sense of what monsters looked like to people of the middle ages, many of which are animal and fish like.

I love his work in Praxis. He’s amazing.

Ever-expanding? Does it mean that new areas are still being added to it every once in a while?
I see a Squid Game reference, so it's at least reltively recent.
Click the changes tab up top, looks like stuff is added regularly.
It has a changelog in the top menu under "Changes" which lists all the additions by date. You can even get notified on updates (although only via Telegram, an RSS feed would be nicer).
Stellar performance via differential 2.5D rendering. This is a dream ;)
Funny, while listening to my laptop's fan going crazy I was thinking that any computer from 2000 would have enough power to render this if it was native :P
I can absolutely make a native version that's considerably less efficient than this one.
And yes, a more efficient browser version is possible (and possibly simpler). People like to fixate on platforms, but it's all about implementation.
Sure - also on your computer from 2000 the fans would be on all the time time, one fan would have a bad bearing, and the HD would literally be making a crunching sound, and you would constantly be cleaning gunk off the mouse ball.
Oh, what satisfaction there was in removing the gunk off the mouse's spinning rods!
Move to a trackball and you can still have that fun today!

Click "changes" and you can click through to a highlight and explanation of almost everything in the scene.
Some of the changes are interactive. You can play the TRON game (even though the game isn't from TRON)
This is... truly awesome. Wow. Love that Pink Floyd section. You can even read his lips as he's shouting at the kids.
Note that parts of this are probably NSFW.
Lots of nekkid people.
Find Chuck Norris... It's worth it.
Ha! Certainly was worth it.
I never thought I'd ever see Chuck and the yellow kvass barrel on wheels in the same picture. Crazy! Took me some time to find Chuck.
Found it! I challenge you to find the reference to the Fifth Element...
Which one?
Thanks! Now my nose is bleeding...
This took me way too long and when I did find him, his egg scared me haha.
I don't understand why the newly spawned guy is suddenly attached to cables on his nipples and penis. What is that supposed to represent?
Much of the rest of it makes sense, although there is that strange mutant monkey thing on the upper left...
Click on the figure and you will see a reference
Funny enough, i can't seem to find a single studio ghibli reference.

There is princess Mononoke under a tree.

ahhhh!! and the forest spirits. Can't believe i missed that.
Don't let Roger Waters know about those kids going through the meat grinder.
Poor Ruby Rhod. How you gonna play him like that?
Bzzzzzz!
Well the artist is apparently Russian, so. Hopefully it's more playing into Rhod's character than as an insult I guess.
Some prior art (music warning): https://blueballfixed.ytmnd.com/
Took long time to track the full path of the blue ball.
Bringing back some good ole memories. Thanks.
It reminds me of Theme Hospital
Really awesome. I got a weak spot for pixel art. Too bad some things are abit too gory. I am sure my kid would love it.
> Too bad some things are abit too gory.
This! Why can’t things just remain clean fun? It’s like these artists lose the etiquette or never acquired the etiquette of story telling.
When I say graphics and cartoons used to be a whole lot of fun and games, etiquettes are exactly what I reminisce.
A lot of it is an homage to gory sci fi horror, so it's gonna be like that. I did find it disturbing to be reminded of so much of it all at once!
Reminds me of eBoy! https://hello.eboy.com/
It seems we hugged another one to death
Very cool. I don't see Waldo in the Changes log, but does that mean he's not there? ;)
Reminded me of "Report From An Unidentified Space Station" by JG Ballard:

LOL, I posted it 5 days ago, but it only got 2 points :)

This is one of the coolest things I've seen in a while!
This is awesome. I saw Portal, Boku No Hero Academia, the Rugrats and Harry Potter just to name a few. Seems it has easter eggs for every generation.
I love this more than I can explain.
The way things fit together is mesmerizing and and beyond satisfying.
In some ways this reminds me of how I picture software.
This is amazing, there's so much detail and little easter eggs everywhere. I like the headless guy in the gym XD
This is very cool. Feels a little bit like the modern day version of a Hieronymus Bosch painting
Came here to say the same thing, except Bruegel.
floor795.com and floor797.com are available for purchase, next door so to speak.
The real multiverse of madness. I love this!
hugged to hard?
I got about three screen’s worth and it stopped. I’m not sure if it’s because I’m on a tablet or if the server is struggling.
Absolutley mesmerizing, love it.
this is awesome!
But where is the FireFly reference? There must be a FireFly reference, right? RIGHT?? :-D
beautiful, but I would have preferred it without the famous characters and memes.
I love this on so many levels...not an ever expanding amount of levels, mind you, but an impressive number of levels.
This was fun. Thanks for this
Nice Pink Floyd reference!
Love this site, bravo

Ow
Should be marked NSFW
What's NSFW in it ?
