Maze Comic Book Cover #71 - NECK

Issue #71 in my comic book cover series is called NECK and features the maze of a Giraffe. The background was made using starryai. This was the perfect time to post this maze since yesterday I re-did my full sized giraffe maze. Each maze has a different style but I like both versions.

My comic book cover mazes can be found in 2 places:

To receive a book of my first year of comic book book mazes (Volume 1 with mazes #1-53) you can sign up for my book alerts - any time I launch a free maze book, or paid book (on Amazon), I will send you a note about the new book launch.

Maze of the Week 77 Redux - Giraffe (MOTW #175)

I originally made this maze when I saw that the pattern of a giraffes coat would make a good maze. It did. I like how my original maze came out. I have also learned since making that maze that giraffe coats are regional ! Not sure where my maze giraffe is from in Africa. Here was my original post.

Maze of the Week #77 - Giraffe Maze

Here are the enhancements I made to improve the maze:

1. New background. I used starryai to create a new background. It is one of my favorite text to image generators (Comparison of 12 AI Generating Websites - Who did Mazes Best ?). I didn’t want to show this animal in a zoo (maybe) but in the wild.

2. New Foreground. I added grass to cover the feet and place the giraffe into the grasslands and into the background picture.

3. Font size changes. I changed font of start from 12 to 16, while also changing start and goal from black to match the brown of the giraffe, with a thin black outline. Then I changed the font of the word goal from 7.5 to 12 and re-arranged letters to fit around the ear.

I admit I have played around with the Goal and changed the color, etc. to make it easier to find but never quite found something that is easy to find but still looks good.

In the end I think this giraffe is happier in it’s natural habitat.

Some data: The new file is 874MB from 893MB. It got smaller ?

I will be replacing the homepage with the new maze going forward. You can find the maze download there !

Maze of the Week #77 - Giraffe Maze

Maze of the Week #77 takes us to the plains of Africa or maybe your local zoo with this Giraffe Maze. While this is not my first animal maze, it is my first high level maze. I am debuting the maze this week to celebrate World Giraffe Day on June 21 !

Photo: I used this photo from flickr user Mad Ball and adapted it into a maze. I was watching a YouTube video one day and noticed that the coat of a giraffe would make a good maze

The Maze: Color. Large Size. You cannot see the maze on most screens and this is meant to be printed and solved on a large piece of paper.

I hope you enjoy the maze. Download is available on the homepage. Check out my YouTube channel !

If you like animal mazes, I have some much more simple, kids focused mazes from a few years ago. There are over 30 and my favorite are the Iguana, Pug dog and the Bald eagle.

Coming next week:

A sign maze.
