Technically, there are images like this one that have a place on danbooru. We even have a tag for it. This one is much lower res* than most of the others though.

Edit: *The thumbnail image, that is. Like most other photomosaics, the full resolution of the combined images is enormous.

"Took No effort?"

Who the fuck are you to decide that? Have you made a collage image before? this takes skill you damned idiot.

Au contraire, I would have thought arranging these to form another image required a lot of effort.

Collages are also art.

I was able to find at least 8 pictures in this collage, that were drawn by the artist. Parenthesis is one location of the picture in this collage (sometimes just vague, sometimes exact).
post #1870985 (center / top half), post #1871008 (second picture in collage), post #1838045 (second row, not too far from previously mentioned one), post #1939454 (last row, somewhere in center), post #1939457 (third column, fourth row from bottom, slightly different coloring, though), post #1939467 (second row, right half of the picture), post #1871012 (third row, sixth column), post #1871004 (somewhere in center of right half).

Also, due to some of individual pictures I think this should be rated as questionable at least.

Also post #1962026 (third column from right, somewhere in center).

-On "lack of effort", # of pics in the rows x the column. How he managed to get them to resemble Koakuma when they all seem so random is incredible, imho. I found it impressive that he even thought about how to do it, let alone actually achieved it.

Mosaic pictures like this are made by software. All the artist has to do in this case is to select the image that will be assembled and a large picture folder to serve as the cells.

I downvoted the comments who doesn't contribute to the discussion, the post is still here, so, still has time to be appealed for the Janitors (or +); Try to not insult the flagger because this time is a good opinion, even if want to delete this work.

I would hazard a guess that the artist also drew the base of the mosaic. For me, having a program compile the mosaic is fine so long as the base is done by the artist.

Somebody posts a photomosaic of ZUN and everybody go "OMG SO EPIC BEST ART EVER, INSTANT FAV"

Somebody posts a photomosaic of cute Koakuma and then somebody "LOL THIS IS NOT PLACE FOR PICTURES LIKE THIS, DELETE IT NOW PLEASE!"

...people here are indeed shitty hypocrites.

Considering that ALL images in this collage are created by moura, saying that it don't required an effort is just sad because he/she puts a YEARS of work to create this collage. You can also ignore the fact that this is collage and treat it like compilation of arts created by one artist. We got ALOT of pictures like this, not on this scale but this is the same thing.

I flagged the ZUN image, and it would've been removed from Danbooru if it weren't for a bug that made flagged images stay undeleted forever.
This means that the ZUN image would have required a janitor or moderator to manually delete it.

I also asked jxh2154 before flagging the image:

jxh2154 said in forum #46423:
If these are just being done through some piece of software and passed off as "art" then they're only a step above motivators for me in terms of where they fit in Danbooru's mission.

Oh, and please don't miss _cf's comment. It explains how making such a mosaic takes literally zero effort.

I highly doubt people would've praised that post if they knew how the image was created.

--------

Seeing as both the base image and all individual images of this post were created by the same artist, I guess it is OK to stay.
But the ZUN image isn't. If you care at all about Danbooru's quality standards, please flag that. I cannot flag the same image twice.

That's implying all the pictures in this collage were made for the purpose of this collage. And it's absolutely unlikely to be true.
Small pictures took effort. Base took effort. Using software to mix small ones to make a big one took next to none (notice the duplicates).

But still is in: "How should be done", even if there are no effort compared to work manually shape by shape, still is a (barely) valuable result.

It looks like author made his pixiv profile picture into a mosaic to use as his avatar for twitter. So he didn't really need a fine resolution, simply because the thumbnail is so small.

As for the quality? I have no eye for quality, but I think it's a neat "how it's made picture" for curiosity's sake.
