Oh shit, I don't know if I dare to show my first bg here... It wasn't that long ago, but it feels like ages... Damn, now I'm ashamed... But what the heck...



This one was supposed to be for a "The Young Ones"-based game, but let us say that it... Ehm, didn't go as well as I had planned...
Do note the fine examples of shading, colouring and perspective presented in this picture...  :)

If you can call this a "background":

Nope, it wasn't for AGS but it was still the very first background I composed...  I was 14 years old and Windows 98 was barely out. And the internet? You had to dial-up to get in! OMG!!!11

One I never finished :(

I'm working on something(s) right now, but when I'm done I intend on going back and working on it again.

What a bizzare coincidence, i did fan work for this game a few years ago, and its on the site.



;D

Here's an unfinished one from 2001:

Yawn!
Still waiting for Purity of the Surf II

I did this background last fall and was planning on using it in my first game.  I never got around to working on it, and now i think i want to do something totally different.



It was a scrolling room, and i believe it was a 320 by 200 resolution.

I saw your name in this topic and it sounded familiar, and I thought "Wait a minute... didn't he do the TDI fan art?!" and I checked and you did. I was just waiting for you to say it to confirm that you were the same person.  ;D

This was my first background, for a game that never was finished. Its pretty bad...

This was my first background, from a game I was working on about a year ago.  It was lost in a hard drive crash, but I still have this and one other screenshot (since I'd uploaded them to Neole's site).  In retrospect, it might have been better that I couldn't continue the game.  The next project I start will probably have cleaner and simpler graphics, because the style I used for this background looks crappy but still takes far longer than it should.

holy smokes!!  I remember that background!

"Yeah ... did you get the memo?  Thing is we're putting the new cover sheets on all the TPS reports from now on so if you could remember to do that ... that would be great, okay?"

Talk about a blast from the past!  That was right about the time I started coming 'round these parts!

Remixor, so you have a game in the making? That's good to hear, since you're one of the people I consider to have great potential.

Thanks, but unfortunately I don't at the moment.  I had a few concepts, but I decided they weren't original or inventive enough.  This sounds cheesy, but I recently attended a lecture by Tim Schafer regarding character design and after hearing what he had to say I decided it's better to just wait until I have a really worthwhile idea.
