Nice!
This is a great "say no to black" tile. Super job.

Re: Nice!
I actually don't think so. While i agree that black tiles are bad, I have to question the decision to use such a loud color. It would have worked better to go with something more subdued/darker. As it is, this tile is sticking out of it's quilt area like a sore thumb. I can't help but think that if he went with a subtler color, that might have been picked up by those around him. (Wittness the purple usage further down in this quilt).

i don't really mind the colour usage. it would work better if the surrounding tiles also used pink throughout their own tiles, but I guess it's to daring to use such colours.

I'd much rather work with brighter colors along with some sharp contrasting shapes to help blenders to form transformations, as opposed to getting a nice strip of 15 pixels wide of black.

Yes it stands out like a sore thumb... that's because it takes what it's given (black) and turns it into the shadow on this very well crafted face.

I like tiles that take what they are given, and turn it into something interesting, and THEN give others the chance to build interesting tiles next to it.

Unfortunately this tile got cut to the left... but the blends to the right and the top are really good uses of the bright color to contrast with their darker overall composition. To the right you have the bright pink used as gums/inards of some big toothed creature in the darkness... and above you have a halo shape completing the implied circular shape that this tile gives it.

I don't mind darker tiles... but I certainly don't dig on "all one color" or "mostly black" or "fog washes". I'd rather have someone club me over the head with what is in their tile (which is what I have been doing recently).
