Background Blitz - Mystic's House - WINNERS ANNOUNCED!

JudasFm · Fri 22/05/2015 05:46:46

Thanks

This is the first time I've tried doing a background of my own; most of mine up until now have been remakes of old Sierra screens just to get the feel for it

And the less said about my early MSPaint backgrounds, the better, I think

It doesn't match most of the backgrounds on this threat (that Gypsy wagon is amazing) but I'm quite pleased with it.

And yep, there's nothing wrong with liking children's picture books XD I'm with you on that one

I like it

Even if it's a WIP, it's very atmospheric.

okay, well it seems like I'm gonna be out of time! I have finished the line art and will try to get the colour done, but this may have to be my finished entry :/

here is the finished line art

I hate to be that guy, and I'm working non stop to get this finished, but maybe extend the finish line by 24 hours??

no worries if not

could we get a 24 hour extension?

GreenBeams · Sun 24/05/2015 23:58:51

Voting to start at the END of 25th..? It's like still the 25th but it'll give you 23.something extra hours.

That ok?

Concept: JudasFM (Because "giant platypus island"... 'Nuff said...)

Artistic Execution: Daniel Thomas (This was a hard choice between many beautifully rendered scenes but the lighting, mood, and the beautiful flaking paint on the wagon's roof made this piece a must for me...)

Playability: TGames (This look would be perfect in a game that even toddlers could play and understand. One of my preschool class students could look at this background and understand what they were looking at without getting confused by details, and where the goal lies. For that reson I must choose this piece...)

Mad · Tue 26/05/2015 09:13:35

Unfortunately never got past the initial sketch on this one...

Concept: Anke - like the slightly different angle to the theme. On second glance, one gets a glance into an intriguing back story, methinks.

Artistic Execution: Daniel Thomas - beautiful stuff, great lighting!

Playability: Sox - Character scaling might be an issue, but who gives a s#@$ when there is soooo much to point and click at.

loominous · Tue 26/05/2015 09:24:05

Was a really nice topic, but alas Witcher stole all my attention.

Concept: Anke - cool idea with a seedy tacky looking shop to contrast the images the topic usually conjures up, quite unmystical.

Artistic execution: Daniel Thomas - just depressingly well executed in all areas.

Playability: Daniel Thomas - in spite of a low nice angle, making it more of a challenge playability wise, it looks like it ought work quite well, so nicely pulled off.

JudasFm · Tue 26/05/2015 10:51:24

Voting was hard, but here goes...

Concept: Grok. I love the idea of floating stones; it puts me in mind of the old Sierra games, where you had to figure out by trial-and-error which ones would kill you

Artistic execution: Ykni. Clear-cut and with some nice variety, yet it's not cluttered with too many objects that would detract from the main scene.

Playability: Ykni. For much the same reasons as above

GreenBeams · Tue 26/05/2015 13:45:44

Concept - JudasFM - the story has stayed with me and makes me want to find out even more about it.

Artistic Execution - Daniel Thonmas - Not because i'm a fanboy or anything...honest. Nah, i could just look at this for hours (and have!)

Playability - Anke - I could really see myself playing and enjoying this.
