Whee, feels nice to host a Background Blitz for the first time.
Allright, the theme for this week is a novelty shop (Oh, you know, like the ones in MI2 or Discworld 2...) filled with bric-a-brac and curiosities. The odder, the better... ;D

Size: 600x480
Colours: Unlimited

OK, get cracking!  

BOYD1981

erm, doesn't OTG usually host these based on the suggestions?

Nope, its rotating now. :)

The only thing I do is lock the threads when its done. ._.

Nice choice of theme Rincewind. :)


Necro

Fantastic! I cant wait to draw this 1 !


Necro

Ok , I'll kick off this time , I was quite inspired by this one ... I'll applaude anyone who guesses correctly how many layers i used in this one!


Evil

AGS for dummies... In ten years they will have those... Well, I'm gonna guess 5 layers... Though it is probably 1...

BOYD1981

well, i've made simpler images than this with over 30 layers, so i'm gonna say 40 and get it totally wrong...

Necro

Hmm 76..., but 3 of them arnt visible... but damn thats a lot. But for instance when I duplicated layers for the frankenstien windup toys I didnt bother merging them where as I did for the barrels or something, but still i thinks thats got to be my record , and its only for background blitz lol.

Oh and I had to include Murray cos he rules!

scotch

O_O I've never got past 7.. and that's while animating.

Evil

My max is like 27 for a science project...

Rincewind

Hehe, Necro - That background rocks! It even has Murray. Yay!
But what/who is that on the photo to the right?

Necro

erm it was going to be a rude piccy, but instead I changed it to somebody random, plus I blurred him too...

Its someone off tv... hmm thats all I'm sayin'

misterx

thats a great background :)

ohh and is the pic "spike" from buffy ?

looks like him anyway......

one little question...whats a layer???


Necro

#14
Damn thought no-one would see that, That is one good observation I didnt think it looked at all like the original pic, yes its spike from buffy...  my Girlfriend is a big buffy fan.



Photoshop can use different layers to construct an image , kinda drawing on seperate pages that are overlayed, but it meand that for instance I could put murray on his own layer then move the layer and position him nicely on the shelf of my bookcase :)

[edit] whoa so many spelling mistakes

Scummbuddy

Oh man... I was going to say its either him or Chris Jones...  I wasnt going to say anything cause thats all I had to say.

And thats all I have to say.
- Oh great, I'm stuck in colonial times, tentacles are taking over the world, and now the toilets backing up.
- No, I mean it's really STUCK. Like adventure-game stuck.
-Hoagie from DOTT

Evil

Andail - Ringo
Cj - Spike From Buffy

One more to the list :)

Minimi

I could try making one, but I'm definatley not going to win from this great picture! I would be making it in Bryce... well I guess... I am going to try making one tomorrow evening... I gotta go to bed now, had to work today, and tomorrow also all morniing and midday... and sunday... im away for the whole day... so not much time this weekend, but hell yeah! I'm going to make a picture  ;D

Dunezone

Im currently making mine, in the middle of it actually. Just takes some time.

Necro

Mine did take ages, its one of those backgrounds that has lots of fiddly bits in it, putting all the knick nacks in...
But I kinda couldnt stop once I started it took me all day to do.

Btw are you people saying that if CJ bleached his hair he would look like spike from buffy??

Here is my ultra-crappy attemp :P.



Gah, only now I see how terrible it is :P.

The weird shapes are to give it a psychodelic feel. Well actually I culdn't get it straight so I went random. lol

Necro, how do you do that? That is just friggin awesome!
I need a tutor. Not a tutorial, a tutor. :P

Damn he included alf to beat me! Nooo , fingers crossed I still win.

Mummy from dott , i forget his name.

Ginny

Well they were both great but I liked yours better Necro. Sorry Dunezone. The coloring in Necro's was what caught my eye especcially. But it's not voting yet (I keep forgetting if it's this or photoshop phriday where you don't vote. I think the latter.) :).

Evil

Sorry bout teh dubbelele postist...

Well I broke a few rules but oh well, at least it is done. It is the ags forms store. See what you can find hidden in there... ;)

I hope you don't mind a nubie throwing in her two cents.  It is a store that sells inventory items (but I guess you can get that from the sign  ;D ).

That's Hilarious noed!
Hehe, Inventories R Us. I like the keys, the all famous inventory item ;).
The anchor reminds me of Grim Fandango.. Ahh *nostalgia trip* :P.

You drawing gave me an idea hehe, you or someone could do a drawing with some inventory items from the thread of Invetory items that weren't used in games, I think it was in the AGS Chit-Chat forum. ;)

Well, there was more entries than I expected, but I suppose that it's time for voting - Right y'all?

I'm having a real hard time choosing between all these great entries, but in the end, it's between Necro, noed or evil. But I think my vote falls on evil... It has a good perspective and a bit of a CMI-style that I like very much.

I like Evil's background, my vote goes to him.  8)

Necro

#44
Heh this does have to be one of the closest i've seen :) Well evil voted for me , i think i'll vote for evil , I do like the bumpy straight lines in it I must admit... Im not sure if thats intentional or the result of a scanned in pic or what, but looks cool.


Evil


Rincewind

Well, if I've counted the votes right, you win, Evil - Five votes to you, and four for Necro. A real close call.
But a big thanks to all of you who participated - Great backgrounds, ya'll... ;D

Now come up with a good theme, so I can join in on the next one... Hehe...

If we are throwing in late votes, me and 6 of my friends with the same name would like to vote minimi for creating a beautiful representation of our happy place.

Shall I cast the deciding vote (unless someone else sweeps in at the last minute...)?

(God, the suspense is killing me..)

EVIL!

How about next time set a deadline for votes. It's starts to frustrate that new competition still hasn't taken place, even almost a week has gone from this.

Oh and my vote goes to....

After this there was one vote for Dunezone, 7 votes for Minimi (can't blame a girl for trying), and now veryweirdguy has tied it up again...If somebody doesn't do something about this we will all be staring at these backgrounds forever!  I guess time doesn't pass OUTSIDE of the games either. :)

Rincewind

Well, I never really thought as far as setting a deadline for voting... Heh.
The deadline for submitting was all that I remembered...
Let's say that today is the last chance for casting your vote, and then we'll pass it on to whoever wins? What do you think?

noed

Well you know my opinion...we should all get 7 votes ;D

Oh, shite... Now there's a tie again. Drat.
But since the score before the tie was in favor of Necro, I'd say he is the winner. Right?

OTG, time to lock?

Femme Stab Mode >:D

Yes, its kinda hard to coordinate. Let's start the votes on Saturday morning and voting ends Saturday midnight. Next comp starts Sunday morning. Any discussion on this can go in the next thread, since I'm now locking this one.
